    Jeep Wrangler TJ Cooling System Overhaul FAQ

    I'm the same boat as others asking. 1998 4.0 auto, radiator linked in the beginning shows doesn't fit on Amazon. Sounds like Mopar hasn't made a radiator for my Jeep in a while and searching around on places like rock auto no Mopar option available. Hoping it's operator error searching. If...

    California Free in San Diego

    Off a 98. Factory front bumper pads. Factory tow hooks (no hardware) tow hooks spoken for pending pickup. This stuff was taken off when pretty new, sitting in a box since. Tailgate Hinges. Some of the torx bolts are a little tweaked from not wanting to come off. OG roadmaster base plate for...

    California Free Sahara white plastic side cladding

    Off of a '98. They're a bit oxidized but would probably clean up pretty decently. That's just dirt on the top of the one on the left. Metal mounting strip included if you want it. Hate to throw it all away if anyone can use it. I'm in San Diego, I go back and forth to Yuma (Martinez lake) quite...

    Steering wandering after Currie Antirock install

    When I installed an AR I also didn't change anything else that should have made a difference and it definitely doesn't track as well. Set on next to softest, not a daily driver, and it rides plush on rough trails so I don't really mind. Not trying to thread hijack, just seems to be at least a...

    Oil pan skid plate recommendation?

    I'm looking too and leaning toward the Savvy aluminum to save weight. I was surprised to crawl under and find a couple (small) dents in my oil pan, I didn't notice it when I did it so need to add a surfboard sooner rather than later.

    Suggestions for improving spare tire tailgate mount

    Someone should make a lower profile tire carrier. Seems this would be much better than spacing the tire out with extended snubbers. Adjustable would be perfect so the tire fit right. I tried to figure out a way to cut down the stock one but couldn't figure out an easy way.

    Opinions on Dirtworx vs. MORyde?

    Just installed the MORryde and like it a lot. Compared to a bumper tire carrier, no hassle to get in the back and no big, heavy contraption hanging off of the back.

    Engine and transmission skid plate advice

    Thanks for the replies! I did look at the skid row and it would save as much as a hundred bucks it's quite a bit heavier than the aluminum options

    Engine and transmission skid plate advice

    Noob question #1! I have a 98 Sahara, relatively stock-ish. Hate to admit it but coil spacers to fit 31s. I like to do things right the first time so maybe someday build it right for 33s but for now having a great time cruising on the trails. Not into rocks but even on trails you come across...
