    Check Gauges & Battery Indicator

    Sitting on the side of the road last week searching for why the battery gauge in the TJ just pegged I came across this post. Just wanted to say thank you and let you know you sharing this wisdom made that day a lot easier for me and the TJ has been running great since.

    Halle's first car - ‘97 Sahara

    Yes, everyone was OK thankfully. I am nervous about rebuilding but she has convinced me she’s learned a lesson.

    Halle's first car - ‘97 Sahara

    I was going to give this exact thing a try but my wife told me it was a little too “hold my beer” and got worried when i had the jeep strapped up to a tree 🤣 Might actually give it a go now that I have backup 😀

    Halle's first car - ‘97 Sahara

    A flip and a twist and in the ditch she goes. I told her that 4.0 above her Sahara logo is now her diving score. I was able to locate some new doors, windshield frame, and roll bar extensions locally which was great! But I'm thinking she tweaked the whole roll cage a bit because on the...

    Jeep Wrangler TJ LED Headlight Upgrade Options

    @Chris I’m going to pick up a set of the truck-lite 27270C lights but none of your links for them seem to work anymore. Is this something you can update on your end or is there just not an affiliate compatible link for them anymore? I’ve found them on Amazon for $165 but a review says it isn’t...

    Upgrading the sound system on your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    I was able to get the zipper open. This is what I am seeing in there: It’s a metal base with a thick cushion sitting on top. Is this what you started with? Looking at your picks I was thinking I could slide some wood between the metal and foam and mount to the wood but it wouldn’t really add...

    Upgrading the sound system on your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    Found them here: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/i-want-to-add-a-subwoofer-to-my-tj-but-which-one.6797/post-442465 Thanks for the tip 🙃 Is there a trick to getting that zipper open and zipped back up? I didn’t see anything obvious when I took a glance at it earlier.

    Upgrading the sound system on your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    I picked up a PS-8 and hooked everything up today but I’m not sure I understand your description of how you mounted it. I realize this post is pretty old but if you still have the setup and wouldn’t mind posting a picture it would sure be helpful. I had thought you meant you mounted it to the...

    Halle's first car - ‘97 Sahara

    The previous owner did replace the multifunction switch probably about a year ago. After digesting the wiring diagrams for the front lighting in the service manual I was able to chase this down to a faulty DRL module. The good news is just unplugging it makes everything workable again. Obviously...

    Halle's first car - ‘97 Sahara

    Last night the Jeep's battery was dead after my daughter finished work. She swears she didn't leave any lights on. Jumped it, got it home, and realize that the headlights will not turn off at all. Found a few threads that talk about similar scenarios...

    Halle's first car - ‘97 Sahara

    Yeah I read up on that here. I like the idea of getting the aluminum tubing to help make the measuring easier / more accurate though. The first time I did the alignment I was a bit sloppy and it was actually toed out 1/8”. It wandered all over the place till I found a thread here where toe...

    I have not. I'll go find some reading on that.
