    Has anyone installed a Klaxon horn on your Jeep?

    Has anyone here installed a klaxon horn on your Jeep? I've been wanting to get a better sounding horn, and I think one of these would be pretty funny.

    About to make a 2200 mile drive

    I've got orders to move across the country. 2200 miles in 7 days with all of my worldly possessions. Anything I should be aware of, before I set out? I'm planning on doing an oil change, and bleeding my brakes that I definitely should have bled months ago. Also, recommendations on how to not...

    New Battery Cables

    I'm looking to get a new set of battery cables to replace the hackjob from PO (I think it might be causing my starting problems). Right now I'm considering crimping my own, or order a set from https://www.custombatterycables.com/ Or https://www.jeepcables.com/ Is there an reason that I...

    Replacing Pioneer head unit with new version

    in order to swap out my failing (and ugly) Pioneer DEH-6400BT with my newly purchased SPH-10BT, I should only need a Phillips screwdriver, right? The wiring harness should be the same since they are both pioneer units.

    Pioneer SPH-10BT head unit with built in phone mount

    I found this interesting head unit that acts as a dashboard phone mount and uses an app on your phone to control the head unit instead of it's own screen. I think I'm going to to get a new head unit sooner than I thought... Makes me wonder why no modern car has this functionality...

    OBDII app asking for volumetric efficiency and the brake specific fuel consumption

    I picked up a OBDLink Bluetooth OBDII reader and the app is asking me to put in some info about the engines performance. Right now it's just using the default numbers, but I'd like it to report performance as accurately as possible. It's asking for the Volumetric Efficiency and the Brake...

    What mechanics actually cause a need for a DC driveshaft when a SYE is used?

    So I read the threads about SYEs and DC drive shafts. For some reason I'm not getting it, and I have an analytical mind so it will bother me until I do. So I kind of understand the need for a fixed yoke when lifting a Jeep. One of the problems of the U-Joint is that the rotation is not at a...

    Are double adjustable upper control arms worth it?

    So I've just got my SYE and DC driveshaft in the mail from Adams Driveshaft. I still need to pick up adjustable control arms. I know the most popular recommendation here is the double adjustable arms from Savvy or Currie, for good reason, but would I benefit from them in my situation? My Jeep...

    Audio Issues

    I plan on redoing the audio system on my '05. Other than a Pioneer DEH 6400BT, I think everything is stock. Right now i'm getting sound randomly cutting out on every speaker besides the front passenger, but never more than 1 at a time. In the event that it is a wiring issue, and not a loose...

    Affordable transmission skid options?

    I had to do some transmission work, and due to some spinning nutserts (rivnuts? one of those is correct) in the frame, I had to chop the transmission skid off. I'm not comfortable driving anywhere but the road without it, so I'd like to replace it, but it seems that what boils down to some sheet...

    What tools are needed for steering linkage swap?

    I'm planning to replace my tie rod and drag link with the Crown HD steering kit with the ZJ tie rod. The issue is I live in military barracks, so my work area is a parking lot, and I keep my tools in my Jeep. What's the minimum tools and equipment that I need to do this job? I've got a set of...

    Can I easily fit five 15x8 in rims inside of the TJ?

    I currently live in military barracks, so there is no space to store my old set of wheels and tires that I'm trying to replace. Can I easily fit 5 15x8 in rims inside of the TJ so I can take them to a tire shop and get them swapped out? Also, side note, anyone know a good tire shop in the...

    4.0 erratic / high idle in park but not in drive

    My 4.0 Auto is idling high and very erratically while in park, but in drive the idle sits normally. It's idling around 1000 +/- 200 rpm, but only while parked. Otherwise, it's ~500.

    Non-modern looking headlights

    Are there any headlights out there that look like OEM, but work better? I'm not a higher fan of the modern look that HIDs and LEDs give the grille, but the stock (I think mine are OE) are... lacking.

    Rear wiper doesn't work

    My rear wiper system hasn't worked since I got the jeep in January. I've got a 05 TJ, but the vents on the back of the hard top suggests that it's from an 02 or earlier. In addition to that, my build sheet says that my Jeep came with a soft top, with no mention of the hard top, yet the wiring...

    More vibrations

    I'm hearing vibes at around 45-55 mph (actually higher, I found out today that I'm indicating about 12% off, but ignore that, I'll get that fixed), but the vibes only happen in 4th gear. (4 speed auto). I've been getting around this by switching the O/D off until I'm at 60, but obviously...

    Why are MMLs so expensive?

    It seems that MMLs are very expensive compared to stock height mounts. I've seen stock height mounts anywhere from $10-$30 but the lifted ones I've seen are $60 at a minimum, but most were over $100.

    Frozen tie rod

    Today I went to the local NTB to get my steering aligned. They were able to adjust the drag link and get my passenger side aligned, but they said that the tie rod was frozen, so they couldn't adjust. They recommended that I get a replacement tie rod + ends, which they can install. Obviously...
