I had also been slowly working on some interior fixes. One of which was painting the plastic with vinyl paint. Which I am very happy with the results from that: I ended up doing all of the interior plastic in matte black and really like how it turned out. So at this point, I had the jeep...

Here is a pic with windshield and doors back on it, little different lighting to show the color.

Chrysler 975613, it’s called Gator. I think it was offered on a year or two of the JKs. Paint is a single stage from PPG.

Back in 2021, I picked up a non-running 98 TJ with the mighty 4 squirrel 2.5L. This was my first Jeep to own; I figured this would be a perfect vehicle for the deer lease and would allow me to drive to and on the lease with the same vehicle instead of trailering a Polaris Ranger there. A simple...

Thanks Ill take a look!

Looks good! Mine were missing all together and couldn't find a direct replacement light housing so went the route I did. Ill order some of those for my reverse lights though, mine definitely needs it. Thanks.

I will need to check that forum out. Did not know it existed! Here is a pic of the courtesy lamps converted. Don’t mind the mess haha.

15.6-15.7 is what I’m showing when motor is running like in that video. If I move the red cable directly to the battery positive terminal or the common side of the relay port I get a clean 14.6v and engine runs/idles smoother.

It’s been installed to replace the PCM regulator. I was told it went bad. I’d have to wire it back up to the PCM. If push comes to shove I will do that and get a new PCM if needed.

Hello all, I have a 98 2.5L I just picked up, working through tune-ups on it. Long story short, it has a new alternator and an external voltage regulator. The VR ignition feed is plugged into the rear defogger relay port in the engine compartment fuse box. Problem is, when plugged into this...
