Hello everyone, I've got a 99 TJ with a Garvin swing-away rear bumper. I'd like to replace the Garvin bumper with something more low-profile and not as heavy. Need to carry a 35" tire. I'm cool with an integrated bumper/tire carrier or two separate items. Any suggestions? Thanks! -Rob

Can anyone offer any pointers or thoughts on converting a 99 Wrangler TJ to diesel? I've read up on it a bit and it sounds possible. Has anyone here done it? I also read that Jeep was planning (pre-economical meltdown!) to offer a diesel engine upgrade kit for YJ/TJ, etc. using the same...

I recently replaced the axles on my 1999 Wrangler TJ Sport with ones from a Rubicon. Front is a D30 and rear is a D35. I have no idea if they're worth anything to anyone, but if anyone's interested, please contact me. I'm in South Lake Tahoe. You'd need to come pick them up or I might be...

Used, complete SkyJacker SingleFlex 4" lift kit for 97-02 TJ. SkyJacker trac bar was replaced with a RE one. Same goes for SkyJacker sway bar disconnects. Everything's in good shape. Normal wear and tear. Was mostly a street ride. I'm located in South Lake Tahoe, CA and would prefer...

I'm in the mood to rant. About two months ago I decided to take out my TJ's rear seat and install a Bestop trunk. I had never actually seen one before I ordered it. My first impression when I opened the box wasn't very good. The trunk was made of really low grade plastic, but I decided to...

I'm replacing my Bushwacker 6" flares with Warn flares and long ago threw out the original factory mounting hardware (that Warn says to use). I'm sure I could figure this out with a little trial and error :-), but I thought it might be faster to ask here...what kind of hardware do I need for...

Anyone need a hitch? Took this one off when I added a Garvin swing-away rear bumper. $50.

I've got a set of 4 RS9000 shocks that need a home. I ran them on my TJ for about 3,000 miles (almost 100% highway) before I lifted it (and they no longer fit). They've been in the garage for about two years now. Anyone interested? $100 for all four? -Rob

Can anyone recommend a great mechanic/shop in either Reno or Sacramento? I want to have some work done on my lifted TJ (either switch out or upgrade the suspension). Can anyone recommend a great shop for such work? Thanks, Rob

I've never been terribly happy with my 4" Skyjacker Single-Flex lift and am giving some serious thought to upgrading to a long-arm kit. I've been looking at Rubicon Express and they offer a long-arm upgrade. The price difference between the upgrade and a new long-arm kit isn't huge, so I'm...

Has anyone out there converted a TJ to use E85 and/or ethanol, as well as regular gasoline? Just wondering if it's possible and what's involved. Thanks, Rob

I'd like to replace the back seat in my TJ with a "trunk." I looked at Tuffy's trunk, but I really don't want something that heavy/bulky back there. That led me to Bestop's Extend-a-Trunk. I ordered one the other day and tried to install it, but the mounting holes did not line up properly. I...

I've currently got 33x12.5 BFG All-Terrain tires on my TJ (4" lift). I'd like to replace the tires with ones that have a more aggressive tread, but also function well in snow and ice (I live at Lake Tahoe). Size-wise, I'd like to stay around 33 or 34. I don't know much about tires, so if...

A while back I posted about some problems with my TJ after installing a Skyjacker 4" lift (Single Flex). The ride was rather "floaty", with the body almost rocking back and forth a bit, especially around corners. The other problem was the steering. The front axle seemed to almost shift...

I'm thinking of installing a pair of side/rock guards on my TJ and was wondering if anyone had any favorite products...or advice on what to avoid? I'm currently looking at the Warn Rock Sliders and Currie Rock Ribz. Any thoughts? -Rob

Rubicon Express vs. Skyjacker Lift (Wrangler TJ) Hello everyone, I've got a Skyjacker Single-Flex 4" lift on my 1999 TJ. I've never been particularly pleased with the ride. It's rough and very squirrelly. I replaced the Skyjacker shocks recently with Rancho RS9000 and that has helped...

DrawTite hitch for Wrangler TJ. It may fit other vehicles as well. Model number is 41531. $50. Located in South Lake Tahoe, but can probably schedule a meeting place with serious buyer in the Sacramento area if he/she can't make it up here.

Hitch-mounted Thule locking bike rack and ski/board carrier. Bike rack includes a hitch lock, as well as a second lock to secure the bikes. Ski carrier fits where the bikes would go and locks into place. Skis and boards can then be locked to the carrier. Great design and simple to use. Bike...

I put these shocks on my Wrangler a few months before I decided to lift it, so they maybe have 3,000 miles tops on them, almost all of it highway miles. They've been sitting in the garage for over a year and are in very good shape. Shock model numbers are RS99128 (x2) and RS99240 (x2). You...

I'm looking for a roof rack for my TJ and thought I'd see if any of you fine folks have some suggestions? I currently have a soft top on my TJ, but plan to put a hard top on this winter. I do not want a rack that mounts directly to the top, but rather one that attaches to the body and works...
