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. Some adjustments and an alignment are in the plans to get the Jeep road worthy. In addition the ARB compressor, air lines, and switches need to be installed to …
The parking brake didn’t work in the jeepfan.com 2004 TJ Unlimited, added to the list of “fix later”.

Itching to put the new BFG tires we picked up from Quadratec mounted to the 16 inch Quadratec Rubicon Extreme black wheels on the jeepfan.com 2004 TJ Unlimited we stuck them on the Jeep with no lift. These tires measure in at a true 33 inches tall and are dangerously close to the front flare. …
