A Jeep Is a Jeep… Or Is It Something Else?

Made me wonder what we Jeep owners really think about our beloved Jeeps — are they something unique, a JEEP, or at the end of the day just SUVs?

Darken these faded panels?

The a/c duct covers and steering column covers on my TJ are so faded, they are almost white. They are original, but not sure why they have faded so drastically differently than the rest of the interior. The jeep is stored outside all of its life usually under a canopy tarp.

Is there any way to make them dark again, and hopefully any way of making all of the dash plastic look the same color? I don’t really care exactly how dark they get, would just be nice if they were the same color.

I’ve tried heat on other plastics and it works but only for a short while. Would something like Cerakote trim restore work for these?

Just bought a 4xe 20th anniversary rubicon. Has anyone had to get an extension for the charging cable? Mine is too short to get to my parking spot- where did you get it from? Thanks in advance.

Suspected water in gas tank?

I drive a 98 grand cherokee limited with a v8 engine, ~20 gallon tank and recently it has been turning off while im driving it. It's fine when im going over 20 mph, but as soon as I slow down or stop it'll turn off. All that will be on when it does this are the radio and lights, steering and acceleration go out completely. Everyone is telling me I've got water in my gas tank, which is very likely due to the people I got it from leaving it for years with half a tank. Would this be something I could easily/cheaply fix? Is this what happens with water in the tank? I've put a red heet bottle in last time i got gas, but that hasn't done anything yet.

My first Jeep Wrangler

Hello everyone, this is my 97 Wrangler TJ. This is my first time owning a Wrangler so I'm pretty excited. I'm a total noob so please forgive any stupid questions I ask in the future.

Those of you who have 2024’s, what do you think now?

For context, I currently have a fully electric BMW i4 but I’m really leaning towards getting a 2024 Wrangler 4XE. I’m looking at the 2024’s since I hear so much about ‘23 and before being terrible on reliability. I’d love to hear what maintenance has been like (if any) and what your issues have been now that you’ve had the car for a while (If any).

While I’ve loved my i4, I’m a mom with a kid who plays club soccer so we drive a lot at times and when driving for out of town trips I hate having to stop and charge. I already have a level 2 charger at home and would just love more space for his friends and our dog.

LJ DIY headliner project

Always liked the Bestop liner from factory on my dad’s TJ.
Went with a budget DIY option.
So much quieter and pretty good insulation for the heat down here in South Texas!
Last pic was taken on Go Topless Day this past weekend!

Materials list in comments.

Opinions on 2003 Jeep Wrangler

Hello! Thinking about getting a fun summer car here in IL. My spouse and I are a bit unfamiliar with the market for Wranglers but quickly learned they hold their value!

We found on marketplace a 2003 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X Sport 2D with 200k miles.

Frame is rust free, we were sent photos of some surface rust on the undercarriage but no signs of rotting or any major rust. It just got $1,200 in repairs including new fuel pump, new ignition, spark plugs etc.

Priced originally at $9,500 and it was just dropped to $7,700. Very grateful for any opinions… I’m only planning on having the car for maybe 2-3 summers, thank you!

Green key on dashboard

Does anyone know what this means? I have a 2013 jeep wrangler and this green key symbol keeps showing up on my car which also simultaneously restarts my car play which is annoying. Any advice helps

Travel Jeep Project w/ POPS

Decided it’s time. I called my pops and said why don’t we start a project together… he has shared many memories of his times modifying cars/trucks growing up as a kid with his dad so I figured why don’t we start one! He was all about it. Move excited than I was. We got to work immediately.

We removed the back seats. Built a little DIY platform to flatten the entire area. Cut the cargo storage tub out, added brackets to the wood and installed it back to continue to act as a rear storage compartment.

We are beginning to carpet it today. So far so good, (he hasn’t gotten pissed yet haha) regardless time is limited. Start the project with your pops.

More pics to come. Not sure what it’s going to turn out to be but we started! Just found this group today.
Posting out of SC, if I see you I’ll duck you!!
Much love to the jeep fam, 2020 Jeep Wrangler JL

Axle problem?

Can someone please help me diagnose this? The wheel moves in every direction. All of my ABS is off as well. I'm having seized caliper problems on my front right wheel(Which I just replaced today so not a problem anymore), and I originally thought that was why my ABS was freaking out, but now that I had it jacked up and saw this, I'm confident its from this wheel. If anyone is able to tell me what I need to fix and why it's making my ABS freak out, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: Keep in mind that I am only 18 and STILL LEARNING. Jeep has had a bunch of previous owners that did little to no maintenance.

All original 71 CJ5 Renegade II

New to me CJ5 with 55k original miles on it. Easily one of the cleanest CJ's I've ever seen. One of only approx 600 Renegades made that year with only 200 of them being yellow.

Paint correction

I bought a 2020 gladiator rubicon that I love. Had almost all the mods done on it I’d have done myself. ONLY issue are some minor paint flaws. Anyone ever had paint correction done? Worth it? Not worth it?
