    QuadraTop Premium Sailcloth same as Bestop?

    Time for a new soft top. I have learned here that the Bestop is the most highly recommended. I have also heard that Bestop is the OEM supplier of Jeep soft tops. In reading about this QuadraTop Premium Sailcloth, it seems very similar and they say, "By partnering with the Exclusive supplier of...

    Decision on Seized Bleeder Screw - Front Driver Side

    We were replacing the brake fluid as a part of the maintenance schedule and the driver front bleed valve was rounded over and seized. All others worked fine. I recently overhauled the rear drum brakes (wheel cylinders were leaking and parking brake was inoperable) and am now about to replace...

    Front turn signal and rear tail light?

    My driver front turn signal stopped working, causing the fast blinking and the dash light indicator to stay on. The bulb is good because the parking lights all work. The side markers and rear turn signals also work. I wiggled the wire a little bit at the socket and it worked for a while and...

    What size bolts for air box?

    Anyone know what size bolts (or where to find out) are used to secure the factory air box to the engine? Am I even saying this right? My TJ (1997 2.5L) came with no air filter system, so I purchased an OEM one online and am trying to secure it here. Thanks!

    15" or 16" Wheel for Stock-Style Daily Driver

    My new TJ needs some new tires, so I want to make sure I am getting the right set up because they will probably last a while (probably only drive 5k a year around town). It is a mostly all stock 2.5L SE (picture below) with 15" steel wheels. I think they look okay, but I found a set of (5) used...

    Timing of dash and taillights is off when using headlight knob

    New to Jeeps and to the forums just trying to learn as much as possible. So, I found a low cost TJ to start with... 1997 SE 2.5L manual, soft-top with half-doors, and just over $200k. But, 2 owners (they were related), local deal, no rust, and it runs great. Just needed a lot of cleaning but...
