It's a great gift... problem is it doesn't fit. My wife ordered me recovered leather steering wheel with red stitching off eBay. Opened it yesterday. Looks great. However, it's from a later model TJ - mine is a 2000. The airbag is different, and so is the wiring. Trying to figure out how...

If you don’t mind… what kind of shop should i look for? Like a transmission place?

No… Same seal

I have a 2000 Wrangler Sport, 142,000 miles... Dana 44 rear... About three years ago, I replaced my passenger rear axle seal / bearing... well recently I saw it was leaking again... the pain of it myself was that I don't have a press, so I had to drive 50 miles each way (twice, longer story) to...

My wiper motor went out about six years ago... replaced it and works fine.... maybe get a visual by taking off the cowl

Never realized what a difference it would be.... got the 2000 TJ in 2012, and just replaced all four tires... and can’t believe how much better it rides and drives.... The wander on the road has stopped, the ride is so much smoother, feels like a new Jeep..... I did replace the shocks with...

If you are doing it yourself think of all the other things to change out when you are getting to the water pump.... hoses, belt, heater hoses, t-stat, cap, fan, radiator.... gotta drain the coolant and remove all the other items.... i would consider putting new back on
