    Bestop Trektop fitment issue

    Trying to install a Bestop replacement top on my original Trektop NX hardware. The rear bow is nowhere near the right length for the new top. It's too long by over an inch, I'd say. I know these tops stretch when it's warm but it's in direct sun and comparing the construction of the two tops...

    Thread Checker PSA

    I'm constantly seeing people ask what size bolts/nuts they have or need, and a common answer is "take them with you to the hardware store and get one that matches." Do yourself a favor and buy a thread checker. There are a bunch of kinds. There are plastic ones, ones that are plates, little...

    Adding circuit for heated seats

    I'm working on figuring this out today but figured maybe somebody could save me some time or has a good idea. I'm hooking up the heated PRP seats. They come with a harness, switches, etc. I just need to find power. They're fused 15a each in the harness so my idea would be to add a 30a fuse...

    IAT Sensor Interchangeability

    I've got an 05 with the IAT sensor in the intake tube, PN 56028364AA that presses in with an o-ring. Long story short I'm going to a water/meth injection system and moving the sensor downstream of my supercharger to properly read IATs. The 04 and earlier have the thread-in IAT sensor in the...

    Minnesota OEM Half Door Uppers in Dark Tan

    Great condition original uppers. VIN confirmed to be 1999 Dark Tan. Seems like it'd be a shame to cut these skins off so I bought different frames. $150 + ship from 55044, or local pickup.

    SOLD Savvy short arms - need a lot of TLC - Best Offer

    These are a set of eight of the double adjustable arms without wrench flats. They have grooves on the inside of the ball that leads me to believe they are drilled to work with the grease-able bolts but I can't confirm without disassembling and I don't care to do that. These arms were on my Jeep...

    Beefing up lower control arm mounts

    I just finished with the cutting/welding and put my front axle back under the Jeep. I cut the Artec LCA brackets off and welded on some IRO brackets. I have the rear axle out now and have a couple options. The rear LCA mounts are in fine shape but I'm already cutting/welding/painting so I...

    Rear axle brake like tube nut wrench size at frame

    Wtf size is this, or is it supposed to be? 10mm too small 11mm too big. I don't unfortunately have any 13/32 or 10.5mm crescents around here. Are 13/32 flare wrenches a thing? Why? The front lines at the frame are 7/16. 2005 Rubi.

    Identifying Johnny Joint (or imposter!?)

    I had a local shop install the upper JJ kit on the front axle of my TJ years ago, before I had a welder and knew how to use it. Now I'm in the process of (very leisurely) installing a mid arm kit and I noticed the only loose JJ I have on my entire Jeep is the passenger side upper on the front...

    What color are these half doors? (updated: still a mystery?)

    I picked up these half doors last year, I don't know what year they are, and I don't know what you'd call the colors. I wrapped the outside with black vinyl and I'll eventually replace the uppers with whatever color I reskin my Trektop with but I'm hoping these pictures give enough context clues...

    Hesitation on immediate full throttle

    This has always been something that my 05 has done since day one. I think this would apply to both manual and auto but I would expect is much more obvious with a manual. I also suspect this is a PCM issue only specific to the 05-06, and maybe as early as 03. When going from low or no throttle...

    AFRs with supercharger and Split Second FTC

    I have a 2005 4.0 with a 6 speed and Boosted tech kit. What do you see for AFRs in regards to low boost mid throttle situations? When I'm casually driving out of boost I'm reading around 15.2 which seems lean for the factory tune. When I get into normal sort of acceleration situations, fairly...

    New member 05 Rubicon

    Hey, joined the forum since Chris seems to be a good source of knowledge for supercharging, and I just ordered a Boosted Technologies M90 kit. Anyway, here's my Jeep, it's my second one. Bought it in mostly stock form, it had some crappy skyjacker lift on it, maybe 2 inches, and 32 inch tires...
