    As far as I know, all Aussie TJ’s came with rear 44’s with 3.07 gears, I can’t recall what front diffs they had.

    How to align your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    I set the toe-in on my Jeep using the following method: - Raise the front axle high enough for the tires to clear the ground and place stands under the axle - use short wood or sheet metal screw and thread it into a tire sipe approximately center of the tread of each tire. - rotate tires until...

    Has Anyone Installed a High Beam Foot Switch?

    It would be really easy to wire up, just intercept the high beam wire in the headlight circuit and install the switch. Then leave the multi-function switch in the high beam position. In fact, if you did it that way, you’ll always have the option of using the floor switch or the factory switch

    Flush mounted tail lights

    If you do decide to flush mount the stock lights, be sure to fit the side with the tailgate hinges first to ensure hinge clearance. I did the non-hinge side first and got extremely lucky that the other side cleared the hinges.

    Flush mounted tail lights

    Sorry no pics and the Jeep was sold last year. All I did was cut a hole big enough for the body of the light to fit through, cut off the screw “nibs” on the back side of the housing and use the screws that held the lens in place to hold the entire assembly to the tub. You will need the run a...

    Where does the shift interlock cable attach at the steering column?

    Ahh, that makes a lot more sense now. I’ve only had one Auto equipped TJ and while not positive, I don’t recall it having a shift interlock cable, I think it still had the little tab you pressed in order to remove the key. But like I said, not positive as I sold that Jeep in 2007.
