    Is it okay to remove sway bar links?

    My front sway bar links were making noise on my new-to-me 2002 TJ (6 cylinder, manual tranny, 57K miles), so I had them replaced. Did not take long on the trail until one of the new ones came undone. Then I started learning about the advantages of quick disconnect sway bar links. I also noticed...

    FREE Free center console for 2000 manual

    This center console came from a 2000 Jeep Wrangler TJ with a manual transmission. I do not know what other years it might fit. It is free, but I was shocked to see how much shipping is: Post Office about $32.70 for the area I checked (Texas), and UPS even more, over $40 (Ohio). Possibly less if...

    Half doors red sub-prime

    I posted these on Craigslist (Colorado Springs) for $425, but for TJ Forum members $375. These are from a 1998, so have the lighter gray colored panels. They are sub-prime. They have scratches, a couple of rust spots, a broken top corner panel-attaching-screw that leaves the panel a bit loose...

    Engine braking with automatic in first low?

    My question is how much engine braking can be expected with an automatic transmission in low range first gear. I have a 1998 with a four cylinder engine and manual transmission. It goes down a rocky and steep mountain road in low range first gear at about two miles per hour. This is not...

    Fuel pump electrical connector stuck

    The release lever tab on the electrical connector to the fuel pump on my 1998 has broken off. I slid the red lock clip into the unlocked position, but cannot get the electrical connector unplugged because of the broken release lever tab. Is there any way to get this connector unplugged now...

    Automatic transmission and water crossings

    I have read several posts about automatic transmissions getting water in them and failing. This is an important issue to me, because I have to cross 2-foot deep mountain streams when I take my Jeep out. I have no doubt whatsoever that an automatic transmission is better for climbing steep...

    Starter removal problem on 1998 2.5L 5-speed

    I was able to determine that I need a new starter by running the tests described in the very helpful opening post by Chris at "Jeep Wrangler TJ won't start? Read this!" (https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/jeep-wrangler-tj-wont-start-read-this.1201/). Then, after seeing that I needed an E12...

    WTB: Visor driver's side '97-'02

    I need the driver's side sun visor for my 1998 TJ. Apparently 1997-2002 are the same. I would rather not buy the after market replacement set of two for $40 when I only need the one.

    Cracked / bent soft top header bar?

    The header bar of my soft top over the driver's side is looser than it should be. The clamp there does not tighten like the one over the passenger side. Looking carefully at it, I can see a crack in the bar at the driver's side clamp. It is not a break, since it is not (yet) two separate pieces...

    WTB: Insert for 4WD shift lever

    The insert that says "2H — 4H — N — 4L" on my 4wd shift lever is missing. I have not been able to find one listed at parts suppliers, new or used. If anyone has one from a scrapped transfer case or otherwise, I would be glad to buy it. Thanks.
