FCA teased us with three images of the new Wrangler and honestly we are quite happy. After spending some time close studying these pictures what almost seems like is a natural evolution is there and it’s obvious Jeep does their homework. Still not sold on the body line down the side under the window but …

For a little appearance improvement we added a Quadratec TJ hood decal. This precut vinyl decal applies easily to the TJ hood with a little baby shampoo in some water and a squeegee. Since the hood on the jeepfan.com 2004 TJ Unlimited had some minor hail damage on the hood we opted to repair the …
The 2004 TJ Unlimited project is progressing nicely. The ARB Air Lockers, 4.56 Gears, Teraflex lift, Currie Steering gear, and Barricade bumper are the latest additions.

We are admittedly a little light on the TJ expertise but even the most novice TJ owner should be familiar with the dreaded upper rear shock bolts. From the factory the shocks are installed on the assembly line, likely before the body is on the Jeep. Additionally, to save time a robot welds threaded inserts …
Progress on the jeepfan.com 2004 TJ Unlimited – Front and rear axles are out, along with the entire suspension. Air lockers, new gears, and a Teraflex lift coming up. Check out the TeraFlex arm to the stock one. Rusted, seized bolts slowed progress – thank you PB Blaster and carbide sawzall blades.
