    Need a bit of help with defroster connector pin repair

    I installed the factory hardtop kit with Defroster and wiper washer some years back. With the dash having been pulled out and reinstalled by a less that competent shop, it appears I have one of the pins in the 100 pin connecter that powers the Defrost relay broken off. Its beyond repair. Does...

    Advice on reassembly after new A/C and heater cores

    Long story, short version, Shop I hired to install my fully rebuilt and pressure checked air box, cracked the AC Core when failing to read the instructions on how to insert and align the lines. They claim the AC Core was defective. So, I am stuck replacing the core myself. Air box is back in and...

    I am looking for wrecking yard seats that fit a TJ

    Being an old guy, I got used to the seats in my Grand Cherokee but would like power or at least more comfortable seats for my TJ. I looked to see here if anyone had done it, but the search didn't come up with anything. My wife would like heated seats. I heard once that some Pontiac seats work...

    Sick and tired of the hard top nuts by the doors

    This is going to sound strange, but I am sick and tired of the hard top nuts by the doors. Every year I drop them and sometimes they disappear only to come bouncing back out behind where they have been hiding in the spring. In other words, I'm clumsy at trying to get them in place and hold them...

    Door latch issue

    This is weird. Driver door, I close the door its "latched" so it won't open but I don't get that catch type sense when I open it or close it. In other words usually there is some resistance when you pull the interior handle and a "pop" when the door releases. I'm not getting that. It's like the...

    Anyone have any experience with Baofeng BF-F8HP

    The Radioditty is probably the best legal one for the money. Also their support is without pier.

    Anyone have any experience with Baofeng BF-F8HP

    You can get a 5 watt really nice GMRS from Radioditty for around 39$ Amazon or occasionally discounted direct from them. That being said, 2 meter repeaters are pretty much everywhere and the Technician license is not hard to pass. Its worth having both. CB's can be problematic due to the wild...

    The limit for GMRS is 5 watts. Plus you need a License.

    Broken center bezel screw tabs

    Primarily because it will take me about 30 minutes to make it so it will never break again versus 50-100 bucks for a used one which will eventually have the same issue. Also, with the weight of the radio on it is possible that it is stressing the tabs. And just because it's a Jeep and it's a...

    Broken center bezel screw tabs

    I found some scrap aluminum from another project. I'm going to cut it and bend it so I can rivet it to the panel all the way across. Then drill it for the screws.

    Broken center bezel screw tabs

    I am thinking I will cut an aluminum can and make tabs and then drill and rivet them to the bezel. I posted this just to see if anyone had a fix I could use before I went this way. Why re-invent the wheel as they say!

    Broken center bezel screw tabs

    I'll pop the ham rig out and pull the vent panel and take some pics. Its the two screws at the top of the center bezel that you secure after snapping it into the holes. they are on the very top edge parallel to the windshield under the vent panel that runs across the top of the dash.
