    Fuel pump issues: should I replace the fuel tank now?

    I hate to start a new thread but I'm not finding my issue searching the other fuel pump threads. I have replaced my fuel pump a few times now owning my 1999 TJ Sahara so I know how to do it. But my problem is the last time I couldn't get the old locking ring to stay on the tank. So I went to...

    Side sun visor?

    I am wondering if anyone has seen something like this product out there? https://www.quadratec.com/products/14018_801X_PG.htm I've used one of these but I hate it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013JGL67M/?tag=wranglerorg-20 I think the other thing would be better. I suppose I could...

    Jeep Wrangler TJ Cooling System Overhaul FAQ

    WeRMopar.com <[email protected]> Mon 1/3/2022 7:16 AM 5102983AA is correct number however not available from FCA/Mopar. I've always read on here to stick with an OEM radiator. Looks like that is no longer an option. What have you guys found as the best replacement in place of OEM?

    Does anyone have a link to a radiator for a 99 TJ?

    Question about Derale electric fan kit for Jeep Wrangler TJs

    I do still have the electric fan. Once I got everything dialed in using a push in temp probe (also from Derale) in the radiator in place of the one that came with the kit and went with their adjustable thermostat it works great now. I also used a circuit breaker that auto resets in place of the...

    JKS JSPEC suspension kit

    Thanks @Fargo That is exactly the direction I need to go. Going to change the top and bottom mounts and then finding an air shock will be easy!

    JKS JSPEC suspension kit

    You have to run a minimum PSI in the bags or they will be ruined. So now that I realize that the bump stops don't get to do their job, probably stopped 6 inches sooner by the air bags I don't think I want to go with air bags again. Leaning towards air shocks in the winter. Easy to swap the...

    JKS JSPEC suspension kit

    Reading about the bump stops got me thinking that with the Airlift bags in there I'm loosing a lot of compression distance because the bags are never going allow the spring to compress anywhere near the point that the bump stop touches the lower spring spring seat. So the ride quality has to be...

    JKS JSPEC suspension kit

    Thanks for the measurements guys. I have front bags on it now for the plow that I ordered to fit the RC 2.5 springs it has now. They are leaking so I'm not sure what caused the leak yet, maybe the jounce bumper punctured it? I wanted the measurements to order bags before I do the new springs...

    JKS JSPEC suspension kit

    @Farmergreg and @Fargo Since you guys both have hard tops and winches in the front I'll ask you guys. I've got a 1999 TJ that had a RC 2.5 lift and shocks. Replaced the shocks with Rancho RS55239 and RS5524. Just purchased a set of JKS 3" J Spec coils. I don't have a winch in the front but I...

    Question about Derale electric fan kit for Jeep Wrangler TJs

    My original problem was probably a clogged radiator. Assuming the plow was blocking air flow and causing the issue was incorrect. The plow blocking the air flow left the radiator to cool by itself without the help of air flow which it couldn't do because the limited capacity caused by the...

    Question about Derale electric fan kit for Jeep Wrangler TJs

    Just revisiting this post. Once I got the adjustable thermostat set correctly everything works great. The only time I have issues is when I'm plowing snow and the snow blows/mists? in the air and cools the area around the temp sensor that I have by the upper hose of the radiator. So I have to...
