When the jeepfan.com 2004 TJ Unlimited was added to our fleet it came with a top. The top was probably original and was in real bad shape. There were strange spirals in the top that are a mystery. Was it an insect or something that laid on it from a tree? it’s really hard to …
Anyone who actually puts their top down in their Jeep knows that in the heat of the summer the sun just bakes you in your Jeep. In addition to the heat and the sun on us the seats, especially leather ones just become almost too hot to sit on. Sun shades are a great solution …
We are fickle with front bumpers and our TJU has seen a few so far, why not throw in another…A JCR Crusader Front Bumper we picked up from Quadratec. In this particular instance the choice of bumper makes sense in many ways, perhaps the biggest reason is that the bumper matches the recently installed JCR …
Since the jeepfan.com 2004 TJ Unlimited has been added to our fleet it has been lacking a rear bumper. Nearly immediately the factory rear bumper was removed and the Jeep remained bare.

When adding larger tires to your JL Wrangler you can often experience death wobble at certain speeds. Unfortunately the Jeep didn’t seem to solve the death wobbly with the JL. Interestingly it seems to happen to some and not others. A small 2″ lifted JL Sport or Sahara can easily run 35’s and a Rubicon …
Continuing from page one, we have the winch mounted in place which is often the quickest and easiest part of the whole install. Getting the winch wired is often the more time consuming and challenging part of the install. The winch solenoid on the Barricade winch is not integrated but does come with a mount …
We needed a winch for the jeepfan.com 2004 TJ Unlimited so we looked to Extreme Terrain for a reasonably priced winch that will fill the needs of the Jeep. They recommended the Barricade 9500lb winch which includes a 94 foot orange synthetic rope to keep the weight down and stand out. It’s standard mounting pattern made installing …
