Do you by any chance have the white plug (or the whole attached harness) that connects to the back of the clockspring? It's a 4 pin connector with 3 wires. Mine's mising the red tab that locks the wires in and, therefore, also missing the wires. .

Timely thread... I was denied an inspection sticker today because I need wider fender flares. Going to check these options out.

Here's the idea for this thread: I'm going to post my 2024 Jeep to-do list and give myself a year to get it all done. I invite others to do the same. In a year we can all come back and post our progress (photo evidence may be demanded) and ridicule each other if we've put projects off until...

Good thought. I went and found the site though and it says it only goes back to '98, OP has a '97. Unlucky, but maybe someone else will find use for it: https://fcagroup.my.site.com/RAM/s/equipment-listing.

Great looking Jeep, and good color! Just curious... is the front axle moved forward a bit by the new suspension? Could just be the angle, but it looks slightly longer in the front than stock.

If you need a rat to chew those wires back further for you I've got one you can borrow, just have to catch it. I'm curious about that connector now... it looks like just one wire, and there aren't many single wire connectors out there.

I've got a 2000 TJ with auto trans, A/C, coil pack (I see your distributor there), and a black valve cover:sneaky:, so take this with a grain of salt. The two wires look aftermarket to me for some reason. Is it possible the PO installed and removed something? I don't know the connector either...

Subscribing just to find out what voodoo material the OP's shop used to get his door cards looking like that, and whether it's available to mere mortals like me.

I installed a Bestop twill top, fastback version, in mid-60s two weeks ago with no real issue. I actually did it mostly in the rain, too... so the lesson there is not trust the weather when it says the rain has stopped for an hour and immediately pull the old top off only to have it dump 2" of...

With my previous fastback my normal routine was to unzip the rear window 90% of the way on both sides, flip it up into the top, then flip the sunrider top back on top of it and take the upper doors off. It was plenty open for me to get the experience I wanted, the sunrider held the rear window...

Not exactly the OP's question but I just swapped a 4 year old Pavement Ends fastback for a Bestop Trektop fastback in twill this weekend and it was worth every bit of the cost to upgrade. The Pavement Ends top never really sealed correctly, especially the rear window. Before the PE top I was...

For a minute I thought we were going to have to get the mods to change the thread title to "A Thread About Parking Brakes." Joke's on him... my parking brake hasn't worked in years. Dumb foreigner.

Anyone ever lost a wheel because you didn't tighten the lugs correctly? Me neither. Definitely not twice. First time I was on I-10 3 hours from home on New Year's Eve heading to my then girlfriend's house in San Antonio. Heard a loud bang, looked out the driver's window, and the wheel/tire was...

I got as far as your post in this thread thinking "Oh, I've got a good one from just a few weeks ago." Instead, now I'm thinking: "Thank God, I'm not the only one!" I did the exact same thing two weeks ago. Trying to hunt down a chirping sound that I could hear every time I came off the gas, I...

That looks awesome. I've been thinking about painting mine in the next few weeks. I wrapped it about 4 years ago and the hood and cowling are badly cracked and peeling from sitting in the sun (the Jeep has gone through periods of neglect, I admit). It's going to be a nightmare to get the hood...
