    Painting door panels with SEM paint

    To follow on this repaired the original panel that had cracked the same way and it looks brand new. This stuff looks and works great and if I were you I wouldn't do those drilling options to stop the crack. It's completely gone and invisible now and the seaweed epoxy coupled with the aluminum...

    Jeep TJ O2 Sensor Guide (Symptoms, Codes, Replacement & Fixes)

    Jeep TJ O2 Sensor Guide (Symptoms, Codes, Replacement & Fixes)

    Thanks for this overview. It is very useful and helpful! Its really challenging to get the right parts as it seems to be a crap shoot as to which type of NTK connector head gets shipped on the parts? I have a 01 4l 6 cyl TJ. The NTK #23138 had the wrong connection head much like the guys in...
