    Bought a 2005 Wrangler TJ.

    Isn't the transfer case and tranny a rigid connection to the motor which is solid to the frame with motor mounts? All the lift kits I looked at last night have a transfer skid plate lowering kit. Are you actually tilting the motor and tranfer case down to change the drivelive angle? What does...

    I have looked for more info on the tummy tuck. I am new to current Jeeps, how does the tummy tuck work? Wouldn't 3 inch lift raise the skid plate to same level as a body lift and tummy tuck? Everything is still 3 inches higher.

    When we are loaded for long range trips we add another 500 for extra water and bikes for the whole family. This is not your grandpa's truck camper. Its not a 350 either.

    Bought a 2005 Wrangler TJ.

    My choice will be for a locker in the front first if money is an issue. I have not been able to find a locker to replace a LSD. There are so many choices for lift kits. I only want 3 inches. No body lift and only 31 inch tires. I will put a switch on the wires from # 10 fuse so that I can...

    Bought a 2005 Wrangler TJ.

    I plan on mostly trail riding with some mud thrown in. Once a year I may go outwest to see what is offered. 3 inch max lift is all we want. low COG. I do want to add lockers for max traction in the mud. The problem I have found is that all the automatic lockers require an open diff. The PO...

    2006 Jeep Unlimited LWB opinions.

    Everyone that I talk to about Jeeps tells me that the 2004 to 2006 Unlimited are the most desirable. Why is that? Are the axles differant then the SE or Sport? Motor or trans diferant. I have a chance for a 2006 Unlimited 71K miles for $12K. He needs money quick, he said.

    You are right. I am looking at a CJ7. I am hoping to find that older is better and easier to work on. If I am wrong please say so. I am going to tow the Jeep and trail ride.

    What is a good Jeep Forum?

    I am getting back into Jeeping and would like to know what is a good forum? Not that EXPO is not good but I have lots of questions. Or should I just ask the questions on EXPO. The questions will not be about travel as much as how to rig the Jeep as a tow behind my truck.
