My cheap Amazon winch got a mind of it's own and decided it would "pull" for a split second every now and then all by itself. So, before I figured out what was going on it had pulled the cable VERY tight on the spool and actually detached the end of the cable from the anchor point. The...

Anyone have any suggestions on a mounting bracket or something for the 4 pin trailer wiring connector? I'm looking to clean up the mess I currently have and I can't seem to find any mounting brackets or anything for the 4 pin connector. What does everyone do, just let the connector hang under...

I did a pretty thorough search, and couldn't find anything specific, so apologies if this is already listed somewhere. Speedometer stopped working, engine light came on and threw a P0500 vehicle speed sensor code. I can't find any information on the correct replacement sensor, where it's...

TJ's been sitting for 5 months in the garage during winter. Charged the battery and it started right up, however I now have a "clack clack" noise every few minutes, it happens with the key out of the ignition AND when it's running. Didn't take it on the road but forward/reverse seem to work...

Hey guys, I did a search but did find this problem posted. I parked the my 97 6 cyl in the garage for the winter. Went out last week and charged the battery. Tried to start and it would almost run but wouldn't start. It will start if I give it gas while I'm cranking it. It will only stay...

I apologize in advance.. I should have pulled over to double check everything but it was a short trip and I was almost home when it got worse. I thought I started having transmission issues on a short 30 minute drive, but it turns out the lug nuts on one of the wheels loosened and was causing...

I did a search and didn't really see anything on this. My apologies if there's another thread already. Please point me in the right direction. I'm looking for good LED fog & general purpose bumper lights that are compatible with the original wiring harness. I just removed the original 97 fog...

I had an overheating issue and determined the fan clutch was bad so I replaced it. Problem is definitely better however I still think I may have an issue. Any advice is appreciated. Purchased a bluetooth OBD reader so I can get real time temps through Torque app. All data below is from a 20...

97 Sahara Auto I purchased a $10 ebay bluetooth OBD reader to diagnose a problem & the code cleared before it got here lol. Anyway, downloaded the Torque app and plugged it in. Seems to work fine, also has GPS trip logging etc if you want that. Question, is anyone else using the Torque app...

I'm partway through getting my 97 4.0 Automatic set up for flat towing behind the RV. Had some custom tow bar brackets made that permanently install over the factory bumper using the frame bolts for the tow hooks, bumper attachment etc. I'm getting ready to install the brake cable for my Ready...

I can't find any reasonably priced foot pegs for a TJ anywhere. I don't see any reason JK or JL pegs wouldn't work fine. Am I missing something? Is there a difference with the hinge placement or something? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083ZK81RJ/?tag=wranglerorg-20

I'm slowly going through everything on the 97 Sahara and fixing important stuff first, just replaced a cracked alternator bracket, and I'm now (hopefully) on the the less important stuff 🤞. I'm finding that A LOT of the stuff under the hood is either missing a screw out of a bracket or the...

Need some help sorting out a transmission leak. Cleaned the undercarriage pretty good, let it dry and drove it 10 miles or so. Let it sit overnight and reinspected for leaks. It appears to be only coming from the back of the pan plus one adjacent bolt that I'm not sure what it is. What is the...

I thought I saw a photo somewhere but now I can't find it. Does anyone know if the drivers airbag deploys from the circular center section of the steering wheel cover or does the whole cover flip up? I was looking at it but didn't want to go poking at it just in case.... I'm asking because I...

Finally replaced the rear shocks today. New Rancho 5000x. No idea how old the existing ones were, the upper bushing was totally gone and the were just rattling around. My first shock change & it went pretty smooth however, to get the new shocks to fit I had to jack up the frame. Is that...

I've got little bit more work to do underneath the 97 than I thought I would. Broken alternator bracket, lots of stuff is just loose - need to check torque on everything, multiple transmission leaks to fix along with diff gear oil change, etc. It's got a 2" lift on 32" tires and right now I...

Hey guys, I posted my transmission leak question in an earlier thread and I'm going to follow the advice there to clean everything up good so I can better see exactly where the leaks are coming from. Before I wash the underside this weekend I've been looking for any other issues and found...

I've started outfitting my 97 Sahara and I'm wondering what tools you guys carry. I've got the usual stuff covered but I'm sure some of the more experienced folks can save me a few hours in the future by recommending some tools I'll absolutely be thankful I had on the trail. I'm starting with...

Slowly going through everything on the new 97. Shocks were definitely planned for eventual replacement, but I guess I need to move them to the top of the to do list. Was underneath looking for rust and grabbed one of the rear shocks - was able to rattle it around lol. It drives a little loose...

Found this today. I'm not sure what would have to be replaced to fix it. Not just a simple bracket. I don't want a catastrophic failure, but also don't want take on this fix right now.
