    Tire and gearing question: 2005 TJ Sport

    Sounds like I do need to go to 31s, I sure don’t want to blow my automatic transmission. The previous owner told me it was a ‘rock crawler’. I know little about jeeps. There is however many pounds of undercarriage protection.

    $1300 for ball joints?

    So I brought my 05 TJ (208k miles) to a local shop since I discovered a loose tie rod joint. Mechanic says I indeed need tie rod ends, but I also desperately need all new ball joints. Quoted me $1300…. Is that a fair price?

    Ball joint or loose bolt or? Is this dangerous? 2005 TJ

    What is the least expensive way to fix this issue? This TJ has 208k miles and now only does maybe 100 miles a year off-road duty with maybe 200 miles per year on road. Ashim suggested replacing whole system with rockjock currectlync, but with installation, that will be $1k. Can’t do that...

    OEM radio questions

    Cd player in my oem radio for my 05 TJ crapped out. Since my ride is basically used for open mountain climbing, I don’t need a fancy aftermarket unit. So, hopefully will find working oem unit. QUESTION IS — won’t I need some sort of unlock code if I find one? If so, what if seller doesn’t have...
