I have the same Jeep, only the Rubicon edition. Did you use SEM paint for the half door interior panels? If so what color?

you have to upgrade ALL Jeep steering if you put gigger tires on, so how is that a Major Flaw for the TJ's ? Nothing wrong with the wheel base, it is what you do with it. I know people that make the wheel base shorter then stock

What engine is in your tj?

Should be using gear oil. Not atf in transfer case.

Video never does really show any trail like it is in real life. 75 will give you anxiety to day the least.

Nice build.. What's the sunroof thing u have. And do you have a space for the front shocks.. i like the look of tj with front higher than rear.. i have a 2005 tj with rough country 2.5inch lift kit..

Great content man

How many miles on this beast. Looks great

I’m going through this debate right now for my YJ build!

I know this question doesn't directly pertain to the suspension but what brand or model fender liners do you have? When i bought my 97 TJ it had custom high line fenders with the trimmed out hood so they used rubber sheeting for liners and they ripped on me. I've been looking for metal replacements but haven't found many options that look to be large enough but the ones you have seem to be. So thought i would ask. Thanks.

I’d just posted a question on the other TJ-flaws- video and I think I read a comment here about the gauge clusters going on and off. So must be a known issue?

Hi! I have followed your channel for a little while now. I have been wanting a TJ since I first learned about them and am just naturally drawn to their appearance! A 2000 TJ Sahara has come available. the owner and I talked for a while. He gave its know history and repairs. He says the only known current problem is sometimes the dash gauges turn off then back on. “They’ll drop out.” He says he’s had it looked at and they don’t know the source. Sounds like typical electrical glitch to me, as my other 3 newer jeeps, their electric glitches every now and then. Is this a known issue with TJ’s or jeeps in general?

I understand your #5 but some factory OEM parts that keep a TJ running are being discontinued. Can you say its worth investing more money in a TJ? I want to invest in my LJ but is it money wasted in 5 years? What is your take on this.

How did you get your tires to stick out a bit? I have 33’s on mine with stock wheels and they dont stick out like this

I literally have the same truck but in maroon. Yours looks very good! Those tires make it look awesome

Ethan stop making videos as if you know much of anything.. More wheeling and action content. Thankfully for yourself you finally replaced that terrible lift.

hey man whats your recording setup?

Bent over by the Biden gas prices. lol no doubt.

Great looking truck still looking for a 2015 1/2 same grill you got!

I've never heard of frame rot on the tj I've owned several lol

Nice video! People talk a lot about the 4.0L engine, but the 2.5L is also very very robust and also present quite some fuel efficiency when compared with the 4.0L. For light off-road, mud and sand situations, not crazy rock crawling, or a rig heavily modified the 2.5L inline 4 cylinders is also a great option! I have one 2.5L 1999 running in fantastic condition and on all my situations have done really well! (I am talking from previous experience of Pajero 3.5L V6, Pajero IO 2.0L and others 4x4)

I've done so much of the same on my 82 cj5. Same carb, same fuel pressure regulator. I tore out most of the wiring and swapped in an HEI distributor from summit and it purrs at idle about 650 rpms. I think mine was the same color and everything, but I sprayed it black.

175 torqued? My jkur is less than that.

Nothing to add my friend. I have a '01 4.0 sport and I love this thing more then anything even though the parts are a little harder to come by over here. I'm daily driving CJ's, YJ's, TJ's and XJ's for over 35 years now and not one of them ever left me stranded . . . Hail the 4.0/4.2 inline 6 😎

1999 TJ with 4" body lift - stock geometry - 33"x12.5" tires

Thumbs up to all Jeep lovers like me ! I ove my 1983 CJ 7 !! Custom !

Just bought the 97

I'm having issues finding dana 44 fronts.

I just picked up a LJ and located in Central Alabama. Do yall run a Facebook group too?

Just acquired a 2003 jeep tj, black on red on black. While i love your cj, i really love my tj, it's got 100k on the clock, but it's like an old man bought it, and drove it then this old man bought it. It's like a brand new car. As if i bought it 21 years ago.

Would you buy highline fenders the next time around? With 35s or 37s?

Braver at night, nothing happens good after dark,LoL

I have a 09 4x4

Interior seats are really nice looking I like the idea of camouflage

Looking nice not over built looking super clean

Wow really nice looking truck

97 and 98 I had five TJ’s. My 98 was a Sahara and I love that thing more than life itself. The other day I come across to 06 with a perfect frame. In-line 6 4.0L with a six speed manual. I bought it for $5500. What a steal. Silver with black interior. And a one owner.

Question for you, how far forward can you push your axle from its stock location?

I think you will be disappointed with 4.88’s and 37’s for the type of wheeling you do. That’s how mine was set up when I bought it. Nowhere near enough gear. I ended up putting in a Rubicon 241J transfer case. It works great now.

Looks like y’all had an incredibly fun time. Some great wheeling as always. Is there practicality in having lights in the wheel wells or is it mainly for aesthetic’s?

That looked like so much fun. I miss doing night wheeling.

Why take the axles out of the d30? What did I miss? Why not leave it complete minus the brakes?

Any thoughts on a pair of Dynatrac pro rock 44s on an LJ 5.7 hemi swap running 38x14.50s

what bumper do you have in the front of your jeep?

Have you sold your Dana 30 yet?

I have the same truck (except 3500HD). Look into a CP3 conversion (I did this) and kept all emissions without any issues and I have 103K now. I don't daily mine though. Lift pump is a great idea as well. Hope your truck has served you well.

2004 Rubi factory except warn front bumper, brush guard, winch. I push my jeep to its limit, never felt the need to jack it up all crazy. My jeep is all kinds of beat up. People with their rigs all jacked up never seem to have many trail battle scars. 😂

I would love to buy a TJ from the south and bring it up north.

Thank you so much for this basic video. I hope to get a Jeep in my life time. It's been a childhood dream to own one since I was 5. I am not 40. 😞

I used to have an 01 TJ with a 4” lift and 33x12.5r15 Mickey Thompson Baja Claw MTZ tires. My Jeep was a 4.0 5 speed and had 4.88 gears. It was very solid on the highway at 70mph, and was fantastic off road. I had plenty of articulation with the 33” tires and the 4” lift.
