    No signal or brake lights

    I get no response from any of the signals front or back no. Everything lights up fine when I turn the headlight switch on, I'm getting power to every bulb, just no response when I press the brake pedal or use the turn signal switch.

    No signal or brake lights

    After doing some searching around the forum I thought I had an easy fix on my hands....not so much. It's. '97 TJ, my headlights, day timing running lights all work, and taillights light up no problems with the headlight switch turned on, but I get no response from my hazards, signals, or...

    A Jurassic Overland Dream

    It's sad but true, I'm in a really small town rural area and it genuinely would be nice to support local, but a lot of the times it's just not feasible . The multifunction switch showed up today so I swapped it in and still no luck. Everything lights up as it should as far as daytime running...

    A Jurassic Overland Dream

    Grabbed one of these for the black TJ, I'm 99% sure this is where the signal and brake light issue is coming from. Fingers crossed, I saw a lot of people having issues with this part even when buying new, so hopefully it doesn't give me any grief. It'll be here on Friday and then I'll know...

    A Jurassic Overland Dream

    Wheels are finally moving on this "project/life commitment" Picked up this Jeep yesterday for parts, after months of trying to find a decent tub to work with, it's a '97 4cyl 5-speed with about 100,000 less kms on it and the body is in a lot better shape, it's definitely more salvageable than...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Maybe I'll make a few calls and give that route a try before I drop any money on replacement parts. Thanks for the idea fellas 🤘

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Spent my afternoon fighting with a drivers side wiper that decided to start flopping and stopping all over. This little nub with the splines where the arm actually slides on is the culprit, seems like however the little splined nub is attached let go, so it spins back and forth. Does anyone...

    A Jurassic Overland Dream

    Thanks! The wife and I are really excited to start ripping into it and bringing it all back to life. I'm most excited to replace the tub, I really wished I could've before so this time it's #1 on the priority list, more out of necessity but still lol Later today im going to sit down and do up...

    A Jurassic Overland Dream

    Strange circle of events here. I ended up selling the TJ after Christmas, the body was getting too rough for what I was capable of handling at the time. Aaaaaaand then it popped up on FB a couple days ago for sale 🙃 I'd always been thinking about building another one, and seeing this back up...

    I don't have a link handy, but if you search here on the forum I remember seeing a really great guide someone wrote up for rust proofing our Jeeps.

    Man don't think that thought hasn't crossed my mind either haha :ROFLMAO: From the standpoint of someone who does a lot of camping with their Jeep, an LJ would elevate things a lot comfort wise lol

    A Jurassic Overland Dream

    That's kind of where my mindset is right now. It's been a frustrating back and forth in my head, sometimes I even jump to a scenario where I have 2 TJs....I'm a wreck hahah

    A Jurassic Overland Dream

    This one was patched together and repaired from a bucket of rust to be what it is now, and don't get me wrong it was done well by the people I got to work on it, but it's all the little imperfections, and all the patchwork that can be seen underneath. For me it just comes down to not having...

    A Jurassic Overland Dream

    I've gotten stuck in a bit of a limbo with the Jeep atm and what it's future is going to be. I've come into a decent chunk of disposable income, and have a property selling next month. So it's had me contemplating the Jeep and possibilities and now I'm toying with the idea of finding a nice...
