    Clamps for slip yoke boot

    I am having a hell of a time finding the correct clamps for the front driveshaft slip yoke boot. I have found some Mopar ones but they are forever "shipping" or not in stock. Jeff Bezos has a boot and clamps that I have on order now but I was wanting some spare clamps. I have ordered a couple of...

    Time to change your cabin air filter

    Or just install one. I just picked up one of these, it is local for me. This is great for those dusty conditions, that sometimes leaves you choking. Install was quick and since the filters come in a 2-pack, I've got the next change already on hand. I did use longer s/s screws though, 1"- #10...

    Which type of bolt head?

    I am having some noise with my right front brakes. (Centric rotors, BMB pads) So, I went and got new, not re-man, calipers. I also decided to get OEM bolts. But for the life of me I cannot find a tool for these. The threads metric. A 12pt 8mm is too small, a 12pt 9mm is too big. It's not an...

    Oregon AFe Cold Air Intake

    For sake $100 plus shipping (or free pick up) I am selling my aFe cold air intake. I need to go with a cowl intake so that I can mount my OBA in its place. It has about 5k miles on it, with a dry (no oil!) re-usable air filter. Kit is complete and with instructions. I have attached the Amazon...

    Pusher fan and cooling

    I don't plan on doing this but I saw a small spal fan and was curious. If you have a small pusher fan, say on a small cooler on your power steering line, if it is not on constantly, are you sacrificing much cooling by just having there passively until you turn it on? In other words, if it's...

    Why is my TJ out of alignment?

    When a vehicle or, specifically a Wrangler gets out of alignment, what is generally the cause? I am seriously very curious about this. I come back from wheeling and my slight toe-in from the morning is now a big toe-out. My drag link and tie rod sleeves are tight and don’t look like they have...

    OEM Radio Weirdness

    I replaced an ignition actuator for a friend of a friend. I don't know if the radio was working properly before that or not. Yeah, I should have checked, but... Now, the problem seems to be that the radio will only "come on" in the ACC mode. I have that in quotes because, in ACC mode, it will...

    Rear Drum Brake Part Question

    What is the name of that forked part, that the piston in the rear drum cylinder pushes on? That part then pushes the brake shoes outward. Mine are worn and I am trying to find replacements. It seems that some rebuilt cylinders may come with them but it’s hard to tell from the pictures. I cannot...

    Oil Filter Coolers- Beneficial Or Not?

    I am not an engineer but this question has been niggling at me. When are those slipover (and maybe a set screw) type oil filter coolers a good thing? I am not even remotely curious about it for the TJ. With the straight 6, there is ample cooling. Just browsing the interwebs and saw them. So...

    Any thoughts on twin cylinder air compressors?

    Does anyone have any thoughts or experiences with any of the new twin cylinder air compressors coming out? It "looks" like the airing up times are about cut in half. I know that it's not an ARB or other brand name. Just musing... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077N9PXV3/?tag=wranglerorg-20

    Switch Pod Alternative

    Here's a different take on a switch pod for the TJ's. It looks like the wiring and switches would definitely interfere with aftermarket speakers (coaxial) and may with the stock ones. But, just an idea to throw out there...

    How-to fix the annoying parking brake chime on 05-06 TJs

    My parking brake beeps 6 times, everytime I use it (I have a manual). So, I fixed it. Basically, when you raise the handle, it just grounds a signal to the PCM. I cut the wire at C301, wire C11 (gray with black stripe). If you want, you can stop here. This leaves the brake light in the dash...

    Thunk in steering after lift (Solved!)

    So, a shakedown drive after I got my OME 2.5" lift done. I didn't make it out of the driveway. I had a thunk in the steering wheel whenever I turned it to the right, not left. I didn't really feel it when going down the road but turning it from full lock left to full lock right, it would thunk...

    Cheap Half Door Insulation

    My half doors have nothing in them except a huge reverberation chamber. I didn't even have the clear plastic moisture barrier, with super-duper goopey goo adhesive. So, while I was in there putting in my power door lock actuators, I decided to take care of that. $15 later and it's a lot better...

    CB mic mount (my version for wx75)

    I couldn't find anything that I really liked, so I came up with this no-drill solution. It's a generic stick-on mic holder, stuck to a metal plate (like you would attach to your phone) and on to the magnetic vent mount. I used the large metal plate that was provided with the mount but I had to...
