Took a closer look at my axles today and confirmed that it is Dana 30 front and 35 rear. Thanks for your help!
No problem that is what this forum is for. So as I said before keep a watch for someone parting out a 4 cylinder TJ and if you can get the axles for CHEAP it's a easy gear change. In the newer 4 cyl TJ's with the 2.4 & an auto tranny some had 4.56 gears. But they are hard to find.

Nice work so far! I’ll be following along. I also have a white 2001 Sahara

Love that! What kind of wheels do you have I really like the all black against the white

As my family was getting ready for Christmas I found an extra wreath in the attic so I decided to use it to help my Jeep spread a little Christmas cheer!

Thanks, they are black rock wheels. Model is Yuma 908b. I’ve had them on for about 6 years and they have held up great
I love how the wheels and tires complement the color of the jeep. It looks absolutely stunning.

A couple weeks ago my A/C went out. First I replaced my blower motor since it’s a pretty inexpensive and easy fix but that didn’t fix it. I finally took the time to take apart the dash yesterday and look at the back of the control module. I found that the electrical connector for the a/c heater control was melted.
Thanks to some advice from @TrueTexas I was able to fix the problem with some female slide connectors and heat shrink.
Now I have heat heat for my first winter in my Jeep

My girlfriend got me the best Christmas gift yet! Perfect size for a bookshelf
White with the tan top looks sharp! Makes me want to get a tan soft top for the summer months.
OP
Thank you! I love the tan top and I’m hoping to get a soft top for the summer too
If your heat is anything like mine, you will never want to put it on full blast.A couple weeks ago my A/C went out.

It's been a few years since I've posted anything cause life got busy finishing college, getting married, moving, starting a new job, and all that fun stuff. Besides, there wasn't much change to my Jeep other than just maintenance until about a year ago. So, I thought I'd revive this thread and share all my updates!
Shortly after my last post, I found some Rubicon rocker guards on Facebook Marketplace for $50! I’ve always loved the look of them so I jumped on that deal. I also got some new fenders since the paint on mine was pretty bad and one was cracked. I also think the black fenders with the new rocker guards are a better look. Besides the sticker, there’s not much of my Jeep that’s Sahara anymore lol.
To get the new rocker guards on I had to remove the old plastic Sahara ones. There were a few bolts under the body and they were attached by a track at the top. I drilled out the rivets holding on the track, filled them in with bondo, and used a paint match rattle can to cover them up. Then I drilled new holes for the new Rubi rockers and used rivnuts to be able to bolt them up. It was a good bit of work but I'm very happy with how it came out.

I found a complete soft top on FB so I sold my hard top and picked up the soft top. I loved the look of the black top but started missing the tan so I ended up getting a new one. I love the soft top and being able to take it off in minutes rather than needing an extra person and somewhere to put the hardtop when I wanted to take it off. After having it for about 3 years now I’ve never really missed the hard top. Yeah, it’s louder but that doesn’t bother me much.
OP
I also had busted one of my stock fog lights a few months earlier when I didn’t see a stick poking out into a trail and it hit directly on the light. Somehow, no other damage was done. Just gave me an excuse to get some KC lights
I actually got some for my birthday so even better! They are so much brighter than stock and look way cooler.
