    Horn button on steering wheel is stuck on

    Not sure if it due to age, Sun shrinking the airbag cover or just general failure but my horn is stuck on. I even put a junk yard steering wheel on and the button worked for about 3 days before it also stuck on. I want to put a button on the dash somewhere so I have a horn. Has anyone else...

    WTB: Dana 30 with 3.37 gears

    Bedliner on fender flares?

    I did mine and they turned out great. Took them off, cleaned, sanded to rough up surface a little, cleaned with mineral spirits. Only issue I have is by gas neck. Old Jeeps tend to "burp" when the tank is full. Gas will break down bed liner and it will wipe off.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I hydroplaned and almost took out a cop car and a minivan. Anybody else have traction problems in the rain? Wasn't really raining that hard, a liytle standing water, and I have plenty of tread left. Guess the old TJ just isn't heavy enough to push down through the water. Time to slow down even...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Replaced a leaking wheel cylinder and brake shoes. I know, I should have done the disk conversion but don't have all the parts together yet. Only took aboit an hour. Guess I should have done pictures but y'all know what a wheel cylinder looks like.
