    More power!

    Re: North and South Man, I just want more power. Can it really be done without a v8 swap? What do I need, maybe a new catback, K&N intake and a chip. Is that all I can do for the most part? And would all that increase power as well as fuel economy? Thanks!

    Possibly a wiring issue?

    RE: Re: RE: Stupid ground hog I was driving when suddenly the speedometer and tachometer guages quit working. The engine light and the airbag light also came on. I initially thought the alternator was dying and I was loosing guages and power. That is not the case. The Jeep runs fine. The...

    was this a wise choice?

    Re: RE: Questions To Ask Yourself Today A shop told me I had to get a different carrier for my d35 in my 2000 TJ to go from 3.07 to 3.73 ratio. He quoted me around 80 some odd dollars for an open carrier and 230 some odd dollars for a limited slip. I said go ahead with the limited slip (or...

    safari tops!

    If I bought a Bestop Safari top would I be able to leave that on and then throw my hardtop on. It would be nice to take the hardtop on and off without having to mess around with the safari top. Thanks!

    center dash piece

    Has anyone painted their center dashboard piece where the radio is? I did and it looks bad. It actually didnt look to bad at first, but then I added another coat and little craters formed everywhere on it (maybe called pitting?). Anyone have any tips. My process: 1. lightly sanded it 2...

    MC 2150 adapter question When I press my brake the left turn signal light illuminates on the dash and in the front (but not in rear). Also when I turn the left signal on, all rear lights flash as if I had the hazards on. I had my wiring checked by a trailer and hitch shop because the Jeep...

    lower control arms

    I ordered the 4" standard Superlift kit. It doesnt come with control arms. But Superlift and the dealer I ordered it from said the kit has everything I will need to lift the Jeep. So what exactly would be a benefit of getting a kit with the new lower control arms? Thanks!

    Update (wheel alignment)

    Well, I took my TJ back to the Jeep dealer to see what they had to say about my two front wheels leaning in even after they did an alignment. They said my alignment was all in spec and even showed me the results on paper. They aligned something 2 degrees, but that was it. They proceeded to...

    Wheel alignment?

    I noticed on my Jeep that the front tires look like they are leaning in (top part of tires/wheels are leaning in). This is from a viewpoint of looking at the Jeep head on. They are not completely verticle to the road. I took it to a Jeep dealer to get the front end alligned. They did, and It...

    Finally bought a Jeep!

    After hours upon hours of looking, I finally found and actually purchased a Jeep. Now the fun begins and the money disappears. It is a 2000 TJ 6cyl 5 spd. hard and soft top, and the tires are possibly the smallest tires ever made by man! So those will be the first to be changed. 1. Im...
