    Looking for advice on installing new crank position sensor

    I am in the process if trying to change my CPS and instead if bolts it is on studs with nuts so it will not just slide out. There is no big opening like I have seen on some videos so it has room to get it out. So instead of getting all flustered I figured I'd ask for advice before I make some...

    1997 TJ sputtering and stalling

    On my way to the beach the other day in my 97 TJ it was running normal and all of a sudden it starts to sputter a few times. I slowed down my acceleration and got there.

    Speaker options

    Are there any speakers that anyone has installed that will sit on top of the dash right above the 2 outer vents on a 1997 Wrangler. Also, I do not have a sound bar but wish I could find some kind of thin long soundbar like one you would have for a TV that I could mount on my rollbar.

    Transporting my TJ

    That picture actually helps a lot. My Jeep is very similar to yours. I have 32s but they probably stick out 4" beyond the fenders which is what yours looks like. I think it is going to be a very snug fit but snug is good.

    Who has the best way of changing oil in an old 2.5 without big mess?

    I am getting ready to change the oil in my 97 TJ and draining the oil from the pan is no problem but the idiotic place they put the filter is my problem. Why would they put it where it pours all over the starter? I am sure I could come up with something but thought I would ask if anyone out...

    Exhaust leak question

    I have a 97 with the 2.5 liter and have had an exhaust leak for quite a while. When I bought it there was some gray pasty looking crap slathered on around where the manifold attaches to the exhaust pipe and it slowly disappeared so I figured that is where the leak is. I bought a new donut, at...
