So, I noticed the trim is popping out from around the window on my '05 What is the best way to address this before it creeps and spreads? Thanks in advance

So I just dropped a grommet (rear most) and 't' sleeve referenced as "sleeve, torque limiter" in @Jerry Bransford s schematic, though mine are 't' shaped and not just what looks like a sleeve in the pic. Anyhow...I can't find it. Just burned two hours reaching behind the block, crawling under...

Rocko, If still available, I'll take the fog lights. PM sent Geoff

Depends on what you are doing with it. Dedicated offroader or more offroading than on road, I'd consider 4.56. I have the same tranny and 33s with 4.10s and think its a good combo for what I do with it. By no means a dog and I'm not spooling up to infinity on the highway.

Turned out to be the ignition actuator. Guess I was hearing relays humming due to ignition being on.

Battery is good, pulled terminals, cleaned, tightened. Yeah, lol, put the starter in with engine running in the parking lot of autozone. Seriously...going after the ignition pin next but I only had torx tips and not screwdrivers so I couldnt get the steering column apart. But again, would I...

My DD is in the shop, so I'm down a car as it is. TJ got stuck today, wouldn't crank. This morning when I turned the key, it hesitated before it began to crank. Thought it was my imagination, pre coffee, until I got stuck this afternoon. Luckily there was a guy with a rope that got me moving...

ha ha Thanks. getting that round part off ought to be fun if the handle side was any indication!

It was pretty tight. I did take the spring off the handle. That left a nice hole in my thumb. I assume you are talking about removing the spring from the shaft that the handle passes through? Sorry for the stupidity, but....

Question for you if you would: Got my console off Sunday, pulled the clip, and couldn't get the existing handle to budge. It had obviously been wet, at least a few times, and had some corrosion. Being I was on the back end of the flu and in no mood to argue with it, I sprayed a liberal dose...

When I got my TJ this spring, I bending the lug wrench and not moving the nuts. Cursed whomever put them on. Took them to my buddy's shop....took a 4' long socket wrench with a breaker bar extending it to pop them. With significant deflection at that. According to him, its not from...

As to the hub/bearing, if one is going, the other will follow shortly, so do both while you are in there. At least thats been my experience.

New one came from Amazon today. All 4 speeds working again!! Now to go clean the blood off my tools....what a PIA job!!

Thanks for that, gess that is good news. Though I'm not exactly stoked to play co tortionist again!

05 RME....lost low and 2nd speeds on the blower motor. So I just installed the Dorman 973-025 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003YLMPPA/?tag=wranglerorg-20 Now, I only have high speed!! Did I get a bad part, or do I have something else going on?
