    Bestop Replace A Top Installation Questions

    That side doesn't look ripped to me. It just looks like they missed the stitches. IIRC, you only put screws in the holes that you removed them from the old top. So if there was one there, then yes, just punch it thru the material. It's possible they missed a hole also.

    Stroker build video series

    I share the same driving habits, so I get where you're coming from. For me it goes back to more of a want than a need. Do I really need more power? Nah. Do I want more power? ABSOLUTELY. You bring up a good point though with the reliability issue. That's a fine line to walk when planning...

    Stroker build video series

    I too have been bitten by the stroker bug for some of the same reasons. I like the idea of keeping an inline 4.0 under the hood. Our Jeeps are getting closer to "classic" status and there are very few inline 6-cyl motors being made these days. In my mind, keeping the AMC roots under the hood...

    I'm willing to bet if Blaine offered one like that it would sell like hotcakes.

    Tworley build

    For those of us that tow our rigs, the handheld units work well. Communication on the freeway is easy for our group then just take the radio with you on the trail also.

    How to replace the heater core on a Jeep Wrangler TJ

    Hmm, never realized that. I noticed the pics of your Jeep show a bright green connector in that area. I don't have that one at all though.

    How to replace the heater core on a Jeep Wrangler TJ

    Both connections run to the air bag defeat. I'm guessing one is the key switch and the other is the indicator light.

    I figured it out, lol. It's for the passenger airbag defeat switch. "What are these connectors? | Jeep Wrangler TJ Forum" https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/what-are-these-connectors.26650/

    How to replace the heater core on a Jeep Wrangler TJ

    I'm looking for a little help identifying some electrical connections. I'm putting my dash back together and am questioning what these connectors are for? Yellow and gray connectors, lower right side of fuse panel. They both have the red locking tabs on them ('98 model.) The later models seem...

    Can someone recommend a quality locking gas cap

    I've had good luck with this locking cap. No CEL codes on my '98. Maybe it'll slow a would-thief down? Or convince them to pick an easier target? Maybe I'm fooling myself. Gates 31778 Locking Fuel Tank Cap https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000C2UE3Y/?tag=wranglerorg-20

    98 4.0 Exhaust Manifold

    I attempted to do this a few years ago without having all my ducks in a row - obviously I wasn't successful. I remember there being a difference in the head ports but couldn't recall exactly what that was. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. :)
