    Smaller flares

    I have a 1999 TJ with the original flares on it. They are almost 7" wide and I want to change the look of the TJ.

    Heater not getting hot

    I live in the high country in Arizona, (a mile high) and we get snow and cold weather here. We had our first light snow of the season so I took my 1999 TJ out for a ride on the dirt roads in the mountains. The heater was just putting out warm air, not hot air. So the cab never got warm. The...
