    Smasharoo

    Hi Guys & Gals, My daughter was rear-ended the other day. I have a couple pics but can't post them..... She hasn't heard from the insurance company yet. It was a glancing blow, hitting the passenger side corner only. The tailgate opens, closes and latches but it takes quite a bit of force to...

    WTB: Passenger side interior door panel in Mist Gray

    Looking for a MIST GRAY passenger side interior door panel for a 97 TJ. I don't need any hardware, just a good panel. Any leads are appreciated. FYI my current door panel was pretty faded, I took a heat gun to it just like the fender flares, in worked well on the flares but in this case it made...

    31x10 tire doesn't fit on tire carrier

    My daughter finally bought a matching 31x10 spare for her 97 TJ. This is mounted on a factory Ravine wheel. In my searches I guess this is a common issue that a 31x10 won't fit with the wheel facing out? When I mount it up I have zero threads from the 3 mounting bolts coming through the lug nut...

    Door hinge pin replacement

    When I pulled my daughters doors the other day I noticed that one pin on each door has the threads broken off. Can I tap those hinge pins out with a hammer? I'm reading on the net and many people say the entire hinge needs to be replaced. I wanted to get to them today but I just ran out of time

    Stainless door hinge pins & favorite doors off side mirrors

    My daughter has decided to finally pull the doors off her '97 TJ. One hinge pin is broken on each side. I looked and found replacement pins but none in stainless, which I thought would be a good idea. Anyone know if stainless door hinge pins are available? And side mirrors... does the forum...

    97 TJ doors frozen shut this morning

    This morning I work up to daughter drama. During the wet snow we had last night, both of her TJ doors were frozen shut. No problem as she parks in the driveway and I have a heat gun. A minute and all was well. However that could be a real issue if that happens someplace where it isn't...

    Gauges went bezerk

    My daughter drives a 97 TJ 4.0 auto. On her drive to work the Check Gauge Light came on, chimes went off and all the gauges including the gas gauge all went wild. There was no consistancy in the movements. The Jeep continued to run fine, after a short distance the gauges returned to normal and...

    Wipers & washer not working

    My daughter told me the wipers and windshield washer are no longer working in her 97 TJ. I put the key in the ign and turned to ACC and tried and could not hear the wiper motor run/try to run. My very uneducated guess is since both the wipers and squirters arnt working the problem should be the...

    Is a locker in a Dana 35 a poor decision?

    Some will remember a few months ago I posted that my daughters Jeep blew up it's rear end and left her stranded. I found another Dana 35 with a gear upgrade to 3.73's from the 3.07's and life continued on. Yesterday I finally scored a front Dana 30 with 3.73's and a locker so that will go in...

    Axle Vents, help a noob

    A few days ago there was a thread here about how deep of water you can safely take your Jeep through. From the thread I gather the older TJ's are the worst in that you can suck up water into the diffs pretty easily. So, is there a solution for that? Can I just add longer vent tubes? Is it that...

    Daughter's 97 TJ 4.0 threw an error code, forget what it was but it called out the MAP sensor. Bought a NAPA premium MAp sensor, installed it and there was a hard start but ran fine.

    97 TJ not blowing much heat

    My daughter has a 97 TJ, 4.0 auto. She hasn't had much heat out of the heater all winter. Last weekend I replaced cap, rotor, plugs and put in an OEM thermostat and sadly that seems to have made no difference. It was a 196 degree thermostat, had the jiggle valve, and no real difference. What's...

    TJ tailgate will not open

    I borrowed my daughters TJ just a bit ago, something is banging around in the aftermarket security truck thing that she has in the back. I thought I'd see what it was and can not open the tailgate. Locked it, unlocked it, tried and tried, get the full rotation of the key and can't get it to...
