    Unusable Interior Lights

    I believe the '97 TJ headlight switch is the same as the switch on the 97-01 Cherokee XJs. There is a colored pushbutton on the headlight switch body that when pressed will release the knob and shaft from the switch body; then a nut can be unscrewed releasing the headlight switch from the bezel...

    The flywheel surface has a slightly domed surface for a smoother (no chatter) clutch to flywheel engagement. If you machine (flatten) the surface; this may promote chatter during clutch to flywheel engagement.

    Bestop soft top question

    I agree with MikekiM… The passenger side bracket inboard end is squeezed slightly for about 1.5-2” which needs to be opened up the same amount as the area on the outboard side. That should allow to more easily insert the bar.
