    Pulling to the right

    The three topics I found are not the same issue. Son has a 99 TJ. I already had all brakes(front/back) serviced and parts replaced to include rotors/drums. It continues to pull right when brakes are applied. He’s currently taking automotive mechanics in college and in class he put a new...

    Is there access to windshield A-pillar brackets

    Hi, I had the windshield replaced on the sons 99 TJ today. I had to take off the aftermarket light bar bracket (was on when we purchased). When I did that, the bracket/threaded part inside the pillar fell. Is there access to this? I've fished it, but it's not 100% and want to make sure it's...

    What size wheel should I get?

    Yeah no. It's only a four banger and it struggles with the 31's going up little hills. Flies going down them though.

    What size wheel should I get?

    I would like to get my kid some nice rims for his graduation. He has a 99 TJ with a 2inch lift. Can someone explain to me in simple terms what size rim to get? The tires currently are 31x10.5 15. I would like to get his summer tires put on these rims but don’t understand the sizes.

    Low Heat Issue

    I drove the Jeep the other day, it has hotter heat now than my truck. I had to turn it down quite a bit. The teenager is happy since we have been in the teens to negative temps the last few weeks.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    After stressing out about the teenager not having heat for the winter, I had a buddy who is a mechanic look at it. Basically he flushed back/forth the core until it ran clear then buttoned everything back up. The Jeep now has hotter heat than my 2010 Ram. Now to get the halos and rock light...

    Low Heat Issue

    Hey, so we have a 99 that had lukewarm heat. last year, I put in new thermostat, radiator and cap. Still had issues. It's been hovering around the negatives here lately and I was stressing about since the teenager drives it. Had a friend who is a mechanic flush the heater core. He said he...

    Would these wheels and tires work?

    So, the teenager has a 99. It’s got a 2 inch lift, with 31 inch tires. Would these work for winter? Or would they be the wrong size and not compatible? Thanks

    Is this gas mileage normal?

    My HEMI Ram gets better mileage than the 4 banger jeep. It's fun to drive, so I don't care.

    What hardware do I need for first time OEM soft top install?

    Now that it's on, it's not bad. Had a heck of a time understanding the poor quality instructions.

    What hardware do I need for first time OEM soft top install?

    This is how it looks. There is a support at the top now with the current hardware.

    What hardware do I need for first time OEM soft top install?

    Dumb question. On my sons 99, we took the hard top off and put a soft top. It's a rampage black diamond. It has the full front doors. The kit we got was the full kit with hardware, however, it does not have surrounds. Are these needed when using the full door? I am inclined to get some, as...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Put it back on. The top had been sitting in the sun for a few days and it fits a lot better now. Was able to get the front bar to seat pretty good. The new fabric has stretched a little making it easier to work with.
