Began having intermittent long crank issues in the last two weeks. Sometimes when cold, sometimes not. More often when hot. Fuel pump is a Delphi installed just shy of a year ago. I thoroughly cleaned the fuel tank at the time. Put a pressure tester on today. Right at 50 psi with engine...

I replaced my glove box with a steel security glove box. I then cleaned and painted the old one. Asking $50, OBO. Will ship to continental U.S. if buyer pays shipping.

Noticed that I had a little rough idle at stoplights last night, then this morning the Check Engine light came on just as I pulled into the work parking lot. I had the OBD reader with me, so hooked it up and it showed a P0305 misfire (cylinder 5). The code wouldn't clear. Took the afternoon...

My 98 has a 3.5 inch Rock Krawler lift with a Rugged Ridge Heavy Duty steering upgrade with stock Pitman arm. Since installation, the thing has been a highway warrior, handling 80 MPH easily with no pull, wander, or wobble. It felt solid on the road. Took it in for an engine leak and during...

Age and Texas sun has not been kind to the defroster vent mesh on my dash. More and more pieces of the grid mysteriously disappear and almost all are disconnected along one side. Work had a roll of 1/2 inch plastic mesh that was going to be discarded. That'll work. The original grid is...

If you check out my signature, you'll see I've R&R'd practically everything on my TJ. The one big thing I haven't done yet is the front u-joints and axles. The PO was a college kid that did stuff on the cheap. To be fair, he also did it, or had it done, poorly. He was running 35 x 12.5s on...

I recently purchased a Bestop Black Diamond Trektop NX to replace the deteriorating top that was on the Jeep when I bought it (the rear window zipper seams were starting to unstitch and the zipper itself finally gave way). The Bestop quality and fit are excellent and have gotten better as the...

OEM fender flares from 1998 TJ. They'll need refinishing. Driver's side front and rear have been coated with Rustoleum bed liner, which is starting to flake off in spots. Passenger side may have been painted by PO.

It's a crack.

After eliminating leaks in my NP231 from the rear and front output shafts, I still had one at the range selector (shifter) shaft. Here's how to replace it with the transfer case still on the Jeep. (Apologies in advance for the poor focus of some of the shots. It's hard to hold the tools with...

I hate leaks. The transfer case is driving me nuts. First I had to replace the rear output yoke and seal. Then the speedo gear o-ring. Today the front output yoke and seal. After a test drive, it is clear that the seal around the shift-linkage is also leaking. I found a thread on here that...

My crank pulley/harmonic balancer came completely apart, disintegrating at the rubber interface. I had almost no warning. Started it up and within a quarter mile a bunch of metallic clattering and squealing, then I lost power steering and the alternator. Pulled into a parking lot and the...

...to a 2000 mile round trip from the Dallas area to northwest New Mexico. 142 miles from home on the return, the bearing on the A/C clutch went south and the serpentine belt snapped. Luckily we had made it to a gas station in Seymour, TX where we enjoyed dinner at the local café while waiting...

I bought a pair of quick-disconnect pins, modified a couple of brackets I had laying around the garage, and bolted on perches for the swaybar links while they are disconnected. With the wheel at full lock, the pins are about 3 inches ahead of the leading edge of the tread and about 3 inches...

1.25 inch thick spacers 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern No damage — like new except for some surface discoloration. These were removed from my 1998 TJ. Will be packed in Spidertrax factory boxes and come with lug nuts (used) and instructions. You will need Red Loctite for the install. Asking $105...

I have a 1998 TJ Sport, 4.0 5-speed, purchased a few weeks ago. The HVAC blower fan was not working when I bought it. By not working, I mean nothing. No fan regardless of any switch or control settings. I read lots of threads on fixing similar problems and replaced the fan switch, the...
