    Dash "brake" light staying on

    As the title suggests, I am having an issue with the dash "brake" light staying on. Other than the parking brake switch, are there any other brake-related systems that would cause this? Also, I checked the wire going to the parking brake switch with my trusty circuit tester and it is hot when...

    Can I paint soft doors?

    I recently purchased a set of lower and upper soft doors for my 2000 TJ. They are in great shape and perfect for what I needed. My only issue with them is it looks like they have either had something dragged across them and left a residue or something has discolored a small part of the...

    Jeep stutters like Mel Tillis

    Quick update. I had not been driving it much and didn't have a lot of time to spend on the problem until last week. My daughter's car was in the shop so I let her use my DD and I drove the Wrangler. Drove fine to work but on the way home it went off the deep end. Started bucking like a...

    Jeep stutters like Mel Tillis

    So after following the advice in another thread: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/tj-has-a-hiccup-and-stutter.25704/#post-426078 I am seeing the stutter pick up to a new level. I have replaced the following: distributor cap and rotor plugs plug wires both O2 sensors (with NGK) Throttle...

    What minor thing pisses you off more than it actually should?

    People who cannot park correctly. You all know the person who wheels in to a parking place and does not have the decency to straighten up their vehicle. Or they simply park on or over the line because they need extra room to open their door.

    TJ has a hiccup and stutter

    Not sure how I missed that but it is a great resource. Just ordered both per the links provided.

    TJ has a hiccup and stutter

    I have been fighting this hiccup and stutter for several months now. A friend recommended changing the distributor cap and rotor button and that stopped it for about a month. Now it is back. I am going to try replacing the TSP and O2 sensors. After reading several notes on the forum, I want...

    Console lock/latch options

    My 98 Sahara has the standard console (no sub). I know nothing in a Jeep is very secure as is without going a Tuffy box or something similar. My question to the group is, does anyone know of a replacement lock/latch that would offer more security in the console than the stock setup? My...

    Should I replace all of the wheel studs with longer ones before adding spacers?

    So I found the open end extended studs on Amazon similar to what Jerry referenced http://www.billetspecialties.com/wheels/wheel-accessories/lug-nuts/e-t-conical-seat-open-end/. They worked great!! The Jeep looks much better (to me anyway) and I still have the short turning radius I love. I...

    Should I replace all of the wheel studs with longer ones before adding spacers?

    After putting on a set of 5 spoke Jeep wheels with 32x11.5x15 BFG KO tires, my front tires rub when turning (DUH!). I also added a 2" coil spacer lift which obviously did not help that issue, but did help the looks. :) In an attempt to fix the problem, I just purchased these 1.5" spacers...

    3/4" spacers for 17x9 wheels with 4.5" backspacing and 35" tires

    May I ask where you got this deal on the wheels? Although I was not in the market, I might revisit replacing my wheels at that price.
