    2009 JK gear shift knob removal

    Hi all. I'm trying to remove the gear shift knob so I can replace the gear shift boot which is all fallen apart. I have the part but damn if I can't get the gear shift knob removed. I've watched a few YouTube's and I'm using a strap wrench, but it looks and feels like I'm actually starting to...

    2009 Wrangler JK Headlights

    I'm looking to swap out my 2009 jk headlights. I don't want anything crazy but just a stronger headlight. The ones in there are quite dim and I feel like its not as safe at night. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

    Front Bumper replacement

    Thank you for the suggestion. There are actually a few dings in it and a tear on the left side which were there when I bought it. So I was thinking of upgrading the look with something new or used that looks good. But I'll keep what you said in mind to maintain its replacement. Thanks again

    Front Bumper replacement

    Hello Jeepers... I'm looking to replace my front bumper cover on my 2009 Wranger JK 2 door with the same factory bumper it came with.

    Rain top?

    thank you. I really just need a bikini top to get to where I'm going (home, in most cases) and then just put it in the garage. If its going to rain continually I will probably have to put the soft top back on.

    Rain top?

    Hi all. Do any of you have a rain top that you can throw on your jeep? I'm not talking about a cab cover, but something you can quickly throw on so you can drive in the rain without having to put on the full soft top. There were a few times I was caught at the beach last summer for a downpour...

    Help With Door Removal

    Thank you. As you can see from the previous owner I think the mirrors dented the sides when they took the strap off. There is some rust around the car so I'm not surprised I'm having a tough time taking them off. I will get the grease for sure. thanks for the advice.

    Help With Door Removal

    Hello all. I have a 2009 JK and would like to remove the doors. there are no hex nuts at the bottom of the bolts so I can only assume the previous owner has removed them. But the doors aren't budging... easy to open and close but when I lift up nothing happens. Is there a way to "pry" them...
