Nope, it’s not ABS. I went and looked and my two ABS plugs looked different. The only thing I see on my 2000 that looks remotely like that is for the cruise control module. But I buried it when I did my Genright fenders so I can’t get a great look at it

Did non ABS TJs still have the connector for an ABS Pump? Right location for it.

This is the main reason I want either louvers or a heat reduction hood. I get hot ass air blowing on my legs, it's not from a torn shifter boot, but fixing that did help. This thread started me down a rabbit hole today (sorry to my employer) that I had thought I had come to a final decision...

I feel like someone on here tried the duraflex and had a lot of issues. Let me see if I can find more on that

I would have no problem running fiberglass, but there are so many horror stories about fit and finish. I don't want something that looks like ass. My factory hood has hail damage and rust, so the advantages of fiberglass and CF are not lost on me. IF I was going to go fiberglass I was looking...

Reminds me of the old AEV hoods. Those I liked. I don't trust the Chinese fiberglass knockoffs or I would run one of those in a heartbeat. Edit, I actually just did a quick search as I haven't looked in a while, but it looks like there is a CF version available now, but I know nothing about...

When Jeep started releasing JKs (and later JLs) with different hoods (10 anniversary, etc.) and built in louvers I really wished someone would do it for the TJ, now that I see it, it just doesn't look to me like it belongs. I think a regular louver panel fits the TJ aesthetic better.

I’ve lived most of my life in Colorado, my wife is also from Colorado. I can confirm this is true.

My son asked me last week what I would do with my free time once I was done with the jeep. I told him it’s my only hobby so if I finish it I won’t have a hobby anymore. Thus it will never be finished, I will just keep inventing more things to do to it.

I have 4 laying around so I can simulate 40% of Mac's weight (I counted 10 in that picture) :)

If it helps, I just recently installed grab handles with the late model trim. I was very nervous about drilling the trim pieces, luckily I found a TJ in a junkyard and was able to get spares for both A pillars. I followed the measurement somebody else posted on another thread on here and it...

This has been a very helpful thread. It made me realize I really need to take a step back and reevaluate what I am doing and that no matter how much I have learned over the years I still need to learn a lot more.

I believe the full assembly difference is a little over 100 lbs, possibly closer to 125 depending on how the HP30 is built. The weight is definitely part of it, but honestly the bigger issue for me is the bulk of the ProRock housing and how much it limits uptravel on a TJ. I keep finding myself...

I’m considering pulling the ProRock 44 out of my TJ and replacing it with a built XJ HP30. My plans have evolved a lot over the years, when I bought the axle I had to replace my front that was bent in a crash, I had enough insurance money to cover it and it seemed like the right idea at the...

I also went no name straight from China Amazon double din: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJHVLVG6?tag=wranglerorg-20 I put that in my TJ and my wife’s Liberty I really tried to spend a lot more money and get a name brand that I knew, but I couldn’t find any at any price point that had the...
