    Seat dilemma

    One issue I've been struggling with is what to do about the driver's side seat in our '04. Should I get a used one off Craigslist or via Car-parts. Or I could have the frame welded for $100 or so, but that doesn't fix the broken lumbar handle or the padding that's thinned out. Of course I could...

    Need tire advice.

    So'kay! Next time I have a day off and have $50 or so (figure cash for rim, gas, perhaps a lunch) I'll head to local bone yard. So long as the last two digits say 16 on the tire whether it's good or bad I should be in the clear then?

    Body work Needed.

    Yeah, I have car-parts.com bookmarked one my laptop. I've been trying to find a driver's side seat for the longest time. Frame is cracked and the lumbar support handle has busted off.

    Body work Needed.

    First off, thanks for the .pdf! I also found someone who posted a service manual on the '04's as well. Yes I belong to Lost Jeep Facebook page. I know one of the moderators. Also yes. First rear-ending was a woman on a phone didn't stop in time. Hit me standing still while she was doing...

    Need tire advice.

    Back again! Reading all the replies since I last posted. Honestly, working over-time while taking care of a wife with pneumonia and a daughter with bronchitis at the same time, I must have been seeing things! The quote Firestone gave me had the wrong size on it. Temps dropped in the last few...

    Body work Needed.

    I'll have to take pictures, it'd be much easier then trying to explain. Really wish I could find an after market company that had catalogs with exploded body diagrams! I had one for my Chevy S-10. Had every part number and quantity needed down to even clips and screws!

    Need tire advice.

    Ah....I may have worded by post wrong then. All the rims are the same. The three Wranglers came with the vehicle, and that includes the spare. Last fall I had swapped out the spare which was identical to the other four tires, because I had one with a really bad slow leak. Only days later the...

    Body work Needed.

    My family and I moved to St. Louis in 2013. This year has been terrible for us, as we've been rear ended twice, and then my wife had an ops and hit a parked car. So our 2004 KJ looks like it's been through hell and back. But we own it, so it's worth having fixed up with only 75K miles on it...

    Need tire advice.

    I just started working again, and one of the things I really need to get done soon is replace some tires and one rim. Our 2004 KJ came with Wrangler P235/70R16SL tires. Earlier this year before I was working I had a flat. A friend loaned us the money to buy an inexpensive off brand called...

    Need a mechanic...

    Not sure I'd need to have to pull the upholstery out? Only 4 bolts to remove the thing. I might still have to pull the seat anyways, there's a short somewhere in the seat belt wiring harness. Even with the seat properly attached while driving, I get the error that I'm driving with it off. I also...

    Need a mechanic...

    My family and I moved to St. Louis in 2013. It's been a rough few years due to health issues, but I kept the faith and after being off work for several years due to health issues tossed in on top of a weak economy. Now I need to take care of some issues our KJ has. Now some would wonder why...

    Need help in St. Louis finding parts!

    I was rear ended on January 14th. Most of the external damage is superficial, but 6driver's seat is toast as I flung forward then snapped back by the seat belt. I'm a big guy at 6' and 270lbs. The frame snapped were it attached to the electric adjuster and later when we tried to adjust the seat...

    Help '04 Limited sucks gas!

    In 2010 I moved in with my then fiance. Shortly there after we determined my '88 S-10 needed to be put down. We've been sharing the jeep since. One thing I notice is it really sucks gas! I had an '02 renegade version, and I don't remember it sucking as much gas down! Before I moved in, my...
