    Broke upper rear shock bolts!

    This is old but... I have not broken mine yet.. however I liked the hole saw idea.. but why cut two holes?. One in the middle should let you chisel or dremel out old nuts and install new ones. You could then patch the hole with a body plug. The very thing the factory should have done.

    Doing rear drum brakes? A must read!

    Fuel pump confusion

    My 97 TJ Sport with 4.0 needs a fuel pump. Gathering parts and info to be ready for a warmer spell. I do have a Bosch 69313 kit coming which I may or may not use. I am also considering the complete pump assembly with the Delphi product. First question.. I see both the FG1353 and FG1355...
