    How much should I ask for my hard top?

    2 years ago, I paid $1400 for my tan top. It had a $125 Yakima wind deflector, a $300 +/- rack (Adventure? brand), new window struts, was in pretty good shape and I only had to drive 30 minutes to get it.

    Broken center bezel screw tabs

    I used JB Weld Plastic Bonder and made new tabs, since mine were gone. Cut a couple notches or drill holes for the screws and done. I used the same stuff when I did the double switch pod mod under the a/c controls.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Thirty years ago, before marriage and still living at home, we went through a spell where it seemed like every time we filled up, one of the cars broke down. When really, it was that it just happened to break down right after filling the tank. So much so, that we started to (jokingly) say...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Approx 100 of those 25 million views are mine, LOL. As are about 40 of the 1m views on this one: But to stay on topic, I drove my TJ today. Last night, wife and I went to the jewelry store to pick up a replacement ring like the one I had given her 25 years ago. Then drove it to BB's...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I don't have any Tool albums, but like a few of their songs. Had not heard The Pot before hearing the Brass Against cover. I've listened to it soooo many times, now, that's all I can hear.

    Knocking and buzzing noise under shifter (2001 TJ, 123k miles, 32RH)

    Is the middle body mount on the passenger side rusty, getting rusty, solid, or gone? Mine was rusty. Couple months back, it started making noise, but it was more of a knock or creak, than a buzz. It went away, as I think the rust opened up a bit, LOL. I would block the wheels, set the park...

    Buying First Jeep

    It would be worth it to have them snap some pics of the underside for you, since it appears you may be 6+ hours away??? That being said, it sure looks clean, and I'd bet the underside represents just as well with those low miles. Otherwise, throw caution to the wind and go look at it in...

    Will it cause issues if my ball joint is not fully seated?

    Didn't know that either. How common is that, the floating pin, in the rest of the automotive world? Is it done to compensate for the possible various tolerances between axle housing end and knuckles?

    Tilt and slide seat?

    I had checked a couple years back and the cables were still available, but were north of $50 if I recall. The cable was fine one one seat, but the other had lost the pull. I bought 3/4" nylon webbing off ebay (3ft for under $5) and had a local shoe repair place sew it on. I used a...

    TJ Scale Model

    Updated the home version by painting the top tan, doing some finish work on the headlights, painted on the front turn and marker lights, and added a roof rack off a vw bus. Had to chop/section the rack as it was too tall, and added the wind deflector on the front. Still need to make the front...
