    Where Is the lug wrench and Jack handle stored from the factory

    I know this post was over a year ago, but I had the same question. Posting pic of where my jack is. I was wondering about the handle.

    New TJ owner in TN

    The chrome is gone, most of it anyway. Sanded it 3 times, then primer, then sand, then primer, then sand ... finally black.

    Should I run 4 HI regularly ?

    Thank you all. Great information. What I’m hearing is I need to go off road more often. Gotcha.

    Should I run 4 HI regularly ?

    Is there any benefit to running in 4 hi ? My wife’s FJ Cruiser says in the owners manual to run 4 hi for 10 miles once a month, in a straight line. Basically to keep everything lubricated in the diff and transfer case. Just wondering if I should do that as my jeep see’s more street time than...

    Am I being selfish?

    If my wife ‘loved’ to drive it, I’d be happy. But she don’t, and she’d rather not. My daughter on the other hand gets it. She loves her YJ.

    Am I being selfish?

    Okay , whew. I’m not alone. AndyG hit the nail on the head. I guess it would be different if I heard “ I love your Jeep”. But instead I hear “it drives weird, and makes a weird noise, etc”. anyway, my turn in the garage. I got the angry sparrow squeak going on. Time to drop the front DS and...

    Am I being selfish?

    My Jeep. Not our Jeep, My Jeep. The wife has a 2012 FJ Cruiser 4x4 and wanted it lifted. So, pulled it into the garage and it took me about 2 nights after work to do the lift. 2 days later, my daughter wanted fender flares on her 95 Wrangler. Pulled that into the garage, again 2 nights after...

    Can't figure out what this noise is

    I have an angry sparrow. So the plan is to replace the centering yoke and the 3 u joints on the front DS. I’ve seen the Spicer kits ... but I cannot seem to find the NON greaseable u joints. I understand they are stronger. Anyone know a part number or kit number ?

    Air bag light, what to do?

    Okay. Here’s what I found, when I start the Jeep the light does not come on, even for a second. However, i turned the passenger airbag off, and the light does work. so, what else would cause the airbag light on the dash to come on ? Seems to be intermittent as it is off now.

    Air bag light, what to do?

    Thank you. But no, wasn’t talking about the dashboard light, talking about the light at the switch. I’ve never seen it on when I start the Jeep. Does it stay on when you turn the airbag off ?
