RockJock CURRECTLYNC Jeep TJ Steering System Install

The Wrangler TJ steering system is a variation in design than found in the CJ and JK. Instead of using a separate tie rod and drag link the TJ uses a Y style system. The drag link connects to the passenger side steering knuckle while the tie rod connects to the drag link about 2/3 …

Installing a TJ Teraflex 3 Inch Lift Page 3

Continuing from Page 2 of Installing a TJ Teraflex 3 Inch Lift in the jeepfan.com 2004 Wrangler TJ Unlimited we are at the point if installing the new Teraflex springs. These 3″ lift springs are matched to the TJ to give proper lift and good ride. Rear Springs Rear spring installation is simple, position the spring in …

Installing a TJ Teraflex 3 Inch Lift Page 2

Continuing from Page 1 of Installing a TJ Teraflex 3 Inch Lift in the jeepfan.com 2004 Wrangler TJ Unlimited we have reached the point that everything old was removed. During the time the axles were off getting the ARB Air Lockers and G2 4.56:1 gears installed we took the time for some clean up. We hit …

Installing a TJ Teraflex 3 Inch Lift

The jeepfan.com 2004 TJ Unlimited was bone stock and with its 193000 miles the stock suspension was worn out. There was evidence that the shocks were replaced at some point but the control arm bushings were looking rather tired so replacing the whole suspension seemed prudent. This Jeep is used off road but isn’t used …

Wrangler TJ Barricade Front Bumper Install

Of course we needed to replace the stock front bumper on the jeepfan.com 2004 Wrangler TJ Unlimited.  The selections are plentiful but we wanted one that could accommodate a winch as well as keep the TJ styling and why not add some lighting capacity and tow points too. The Barricade Trail Force HD Front Bumper …

Quadratec TJ Hood Decal

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 …

After the Lift, Bumper, and ARB Lockers

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 …

Wrangler TJ Rear Disc Brake Parking Brake

The parking brake didn’t work in the jeepfan.com 2004 TJ Unlimited, added to the list of “fix later”.  While removing the rear axle for the ARB lockers the passenger side cable was not connected to the arm that engages the brake drum within the Jeep’s rotor.  Seemed odd but it was thought that maybe it …

ARB Air Lockers and G2 4.56 Gears

The jeepfan.com 2016 Wrangler JK RHR is packed and ready to take the jeepfan.com 2004 Wrangler TJ Unlimited’s Dana 30 and Dana 44 to OK Auto for installation of the ARB Air Lockers and G2 4.56:1 gears.  In a few days they will be ready for installation into the TJ with the new Teraflex 3″ …

Wrangler TJ Upper Rear Shock Bolt Nightmare

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 …
