Well, it's been a month now since we got a 3-inch lift kit and new tires for our 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. We ordered everything from the 4WheelParts store in Nashville ...which took a long time. The lift kit was setting in our foyer for weeks before the wheels arrived at the Nashville store. Then the tires took even longer for some reason. That said, it was the best thing we ever did for the Jeep! Here's the scoop. But first, some before (top row) & after (bottom row) … [Read more...]
Shari B. asked about taking Jeep doors off an '04 Wrangler: "How do i get the doors off my wrangler with out tearing them up?" Here's how... (It's pretty simple, really.) … [Read more...]
Victoria and others have asked how to open the Sunrider portion of the Jeep soft top -- so you're riding around as if you have the sunroof open (rather than lowering the entire soft top on your Jeep).This is actually something that can be done by one person alone. It only takes me about 4 minutes to do it myself. It's even quicker with 2 people!Here are the step-by-step instructions for turning your Jeep Wrangler's soft top into a sun roof... … [Read more...]
Thinking about adding a hard top to your Jeep Wrangler?Our 1990 Jeep Wrangler (our pride & joy before we got the '04 Unlimited), was the only Wrangler we've ever had a hard top for.We used the hard top in the winter and a bikini top in the summer. Here are the best hard tops for Jeep Wranglers... … [Read more...]
To replace the soft top on our '04 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, it would cost about $1,400 for a MOPAR replacement soft top. That's for the Jeep soft top with the Sunrider (sun roof) built in. Our next best option would be the Bestop Sunrider Replacement Soft Top for just under $800. If you've got a Jeep Wrangler and you need a new soft top for your Jeep, there are actually a number of replacement soft tops to choose from. So let's take a look at what's available in terms of replacement soft tops … [Read more...]
Ever since the day we got it, Jim has been wanting to add some lift to our '04 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Not much, just enough to give us a little breathing room offroad and allow us to put some bigger tires on the Jeep. I guess if I had an opinion in the matter, it would be that I'm looking forward to our Jeep looking a little "beefier" and a tad less "stock". (I never thought those things would mean much to me, but I've seen so many HOT looking Jeeps... I'll admit, I'd love … [Read more...]
For those times when we have the entire Jeep sunrider soft top down on our 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, we use the Clover Patch Jeep Window Cover. The reason we like this one best, of all the other Jeep window covers out there, is because the Clover Patch is an all-in-one system -- so everything stays in the Jeep!Yet it's completely out of the way and you don't even notice it's there. … [Read more...]
An article I wrote about the pro's and con's of Jeep Wrangler Unlimiteds always been a popular one, but some who are in the market for a new or used Jeep may just be interested in a run-down of the top reasons to buy a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited -- instead of all that detail. Hence, today's post.First The Facts...The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (TJ) was introduced late in the 2004 model year in a Sport trim. Jeep added the Rubicon trim to the Unlimited model in 2005. And finally, the 4-door model with … [Read more...]
This is Tenor. He likes Jeeps. But it wasn't always so. It has taken us about 2 months of "going for a ride in the car" practically every single day to get him accustomed to the unbalanced nature of riding in the back of a Jeep Wrangler. (Had we started when he was younger, it probably would have been much easier.) Plus, since we took the back seat out, there's a lot of open space back there -- especially in a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. It has taken him some time to get used to all the twists … [Read more...]
Much to my dismay, we can't ride around in the Jeep with the top down all of the time. Because here in Franklin, Tennessee it gets pretty chilly from October through March each year. Still, we couldn't be happier with our Jeep(s), and we've had a lot of great times -- top up and top down -- in both our 1990 Jeep Wrangler YJ and our 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited TJ. Here's a run-down of all of the things you need to consider if your Jeep has a soft top... … [Read more...]
