    Steel wheels

    I have a stock 2000 tj with factory aluminum wheels which are like new. Is there a chart which shows 15" steel wheels from other manufacturers that will fit. I want to use them in the winter with other tires and not ruin the stock aluminum ones.

    Should I buy a pre-bent brake line in steel or stainless steel?

    After taking the rusted ones off I realized the work getting up and down from under the jeep without a lift would have been totally ridiculous. I had already laid under it for 2 months doing the frame repairs..Just crawl under and look at all the bends.There are lots and lots of bends at all...

    Should I buy a pre-bent brake line in steel or stainless steel?

    I did the dorman stainless 4 years ago when I did my 2000 tj.Way to many bends for my patience.Easy peasey and looks really cool to see no rusty lines. Really shines with the fluid film running off.Everything went very smooth and really great quality. Bruce

    Would it be bad to double clutch my NSG370 6-speed?

    I started using redline on my 2000 tj manual a year ago and it did help.After reading these posts I now know it is not just me who does slow gear changes.I was used to my miata before this but I just take the shifts slower.
