    High voltage issue

    Yeah sounds like a low buck attempt-o-fix, original either is bad, or PO couldn't find the origin of the spike and tried to add a filter so to speak to intercept it. Does the alternator or any other component look newer or tampered witg? Perhaps a trip to the alternator shop for a few tests? So...

    Removing flare extension mounting nuts?

    I did 1/4" bolts, body washers and nylons, no nutserts. I just reached by hand up inside the body. I have a nutsert gun and was going to install new ones, but found this method to be easier.

    Water on floor: Is something missing?

    I do believe mine has a plastic air box on top of the opening w an air inlet on it to keep the air intake point higher to keep water out. Perhaps someone will chime in to confirm as I'm not near my jeep, or stop by the jeep dealership and have them pull up the parts diagram. Drain is that oval...

    Polar vortex left pink slimy mess under Jeep

    If they were changed perhaps something just came loose. First it doesn't take much to look bad when its thin on the ground and mixing with melting snow and ice, second with the 2 extremes in temperature so quickly that can cause contraction then rapid expansion and force more out then normal...

    Polar vortex left pink slimy mess under Jeep

    Check your tranny cooler lines, mine just developed a small hole in the hard line where the plastic keeper holds it to the the block, repaired it with some 3/8" soft line and hose clamps till I decide to cave and give mopar 150 bucks for new lines or make my own. But it could other things...

    TJ is only stopping with front brakes

    Hey please listen to Jerry!! Regardless of the rear brakes your fronts should stop you, look at every passenger vehicle out there, the front brakes are almost always twice the size of the rear, that is for a reason, the front does 75% of the work. Every see guys do a burn out to warm their...

    High voltage issue

    Again, not a jeep expert here, but where does the green wire go? It appears to be cut from the harness then run off to the right of the picture and the original end still sticking out of the harness plug ?? Another point of wonder, seems there is a green wire w a brown (on my screen anyway)...

    Hands free calling: is it possible in a TJ?

    Yeah we have an x45 with tower speakers, first call scared the hell out of us, I didn't realize it it would do calls, I thought I was just streaming music lol. Gives new meaning to conference call.... your right though no one needs a 1000 watt speaker phone, when people would talk and the subs...

    Heated Seat Recommendations

    I use the Dorman kits from summit racing, 69 bucks a set, very hot on high. Just a tech tip I recently learned, now I absolutely love the OEM seat heaters in my 05 suburban I have stashed in CO, really warm and i can turn on just the back which is all I really wanted, so I asked the first...

    Hands free calling: is it possible in a TJ?

    My Recommendation would be look at the marine market, the one in our ski boat works really well surprisingly, I believe it's a Clarion. Plus you gain some water resistance. In the jeep I use my LG pro ear buds, but even w that if going up a hill people have a hard time, but that is partially...

    Will 3” lift shocks work for a 2.5” lift?

    As usual Jerry is spot on, his jeep knowledge far exceeds mine, I have used his advise myself a few times as I tend to tinker with a wide array of vehicles and equipment LOL. My only add here is you should be able to contact your lift supplier and get their recommendations on shock extended and...

    Can I put 32x11.50x15 tires on without issues?

    Tire sizes and vehicle specs vary more then you probably imagine, I once had 2 identical 2500hd trucks, same rims, etc, I put 285/75r16 tires on one no problem, the other hit??? Basically what your trying to do is put a tire on that is 1" taller and 1" wider, so in reality that will equal out...

    TJ pulling slightly left after lift

    NP, Keep us posted, i once got tired and tightened the rear leaf spring shackles on my duramax while up on my lift, she was a bit bouncy the next morning lol. I believe you still have cam bolts along w toe, either way if your on the highway often then even a little out eats tires and wears at...
