    Gr8tops Exogate Tailgate

    Is anyone running the Gr8tops Exogate Tailgate kit for the TJ or have heard anything about it? Says it can hold a 35" tire. I was wondering if it's any good. Thanks!

    Backspace Question

    I've been shopping for wheels and was hoping someone might be able to give me advice on backspacing. My local shop said I should be OK with 3.5-4" of backspacing. I was thinking 3.75" would be safe. I don't want the wheels sticking way out but don't want rubbing either. The problem is I'm...

    Arizona Trail this Saturday 10/22?

    Looking to run a trail on Saturday and was wondering if anyone wanted to join. Don't like going out by myself and am interested in meeting some new people. Open to suggestions for the trail. Would like to meet around 9am. I'm not running rock sliders yet so not too difficult. :bummed: Thanks!

    Detroit locker in front axle

    If a Detroit locker was installed in a front axle, does it remain unlocked when in 2wd? Had this debate with some buddies the other night and none of us were completely sure. Thanks

    Wheel locks

    What do you guys recommend for wheel locks? Although I'm mainly concerned about the spare, I figure a set of 5 might not be a bad idea. Thanks!

    FS: Alpine SPS-510 5 1/4" Speakers

    I recently purchased four new 5 1/4" speakers for my Jeep and didn't realize a previous owner had already swapped out the rear speakers with these Alpines (the fronts were still the horrible stock 4x6's). I swapped the rears any way so all four match. If anyone is interested in the Alpine's...

    Jeep LJ Rear Seat Belt Buckles

    Jeep LJ/TJ Rear Seat Belt Buckles I am looking for the rear seat belt buckles for my 2006 LJ. These would have attached to the floor behind the rear seat (see link to pic below). A previous owner replaced the carpet and they are missing. Perhaps a TJ owner ditched their rear seat and have...

    SOCAL Saturday, September 5th?

    I will be driving out to Fullerton, CA from Phoenix on Friday September 4th to pick up some wheels from ORE (Thanks SaddleTramp!). I will be spending the night in Fullerton before driving home on Saturday. Thought it would be cool to check out an easy to moderate trail on the way home Saturday...

    Coolant Splat under Hood

    Got back from wheeling today (first time on a decent trail with the new LJ) and found this under the hood. It appears to have come out of an opening on the back of the coolant reservoir. I'm assuming it's an overflow and the coolant may have just been a bit overfilled. Any thing to worry...

    Front Bump Stops with Teraflex 2" Budget Boost

    Hi, my LJ has a 2" Teraflex Budget Boost installed with Rancho shocks (not sure which model). I noticed the front bump stop extensions were installed which appear to provide very little suspension compression. I'm guessing the bump stop compresses some but still doesn't seem like much travel...

    A new Jeep in the WAF Family!

    I finally found a Jeep I liked and closed the deal today! My 3yo is almost as excited as I am. :D My wife already threatened to steal it. :crazyeyes: She's a 2006 LJ with only 101k miles. ;) Mostly original but does have a Teraflex "budget boost" with Rancho shocks. That's good because I...

    Used Jeep help in Phoenix, AZ

    I'm headed up to Peoria to look at a used LJ this afternoon. Private seller. Any of the Phoenix area guys available to go look at it with me? I have a good idea what to look for when looking at used vehicles but thought it might be a good idea to have someone familiar with Jeeps with me. And...

    Question about LJ Paint Issue

    I looked at a 2006 LJ today at a local used car dealer. I noticed some crazing in the paint on the hood and front fenders. Looked like snow flakes sort of. The salesman told me this is a common issue with Wranglers of that vintage in darker colors (this one is red) due to the lack of any type...

    Wave from Arizona

    Hi! I signed up a few days ago and wanted to introduce myself. My wife and I moved to Arizona from Maryland about 5 years ago for my job. I miss Maryland and family/friends but we like Arizona. I'm a newb when it comes to off-roading and I'm still shopping for my first Jeep. Started doing...
