    Wiper Motor Recommendations

    What brand to buy for a 97 front wiper motor? Or what brand not to buy. Motor works intermittently. Will not auto stop. As always, Thanks in advance.

    How much is my 98 TJ hardtop worth?

    I'm just a bit Southwest of you. I saw your ad on CL this morning. Your top should be gone in a week or less for your asking price. (I already have a hard top.) Rainy season approaches, Hard tops go fast. We counted 153 Jeep Wranglers from Key West to the Last Chance Saloon Sunday afternoon...

    Opinions on Magnaflow 23227 catalytic converter for 98 TJ?

    I'm interested too as the po removed the cat. Looks like the trans skid plate has to come off. Rock Auto has some no name kits and cats but I've always had good results with Magnaflow and Walker

    What's a good cheap electric pressure washer?

    I bought an AR Blue Clean electric thats held up well. The Turbo nozzle doubles the cleaning power on conctete. The high pressure hose is plastic and would be useless if it ever got kinked, for $100 it's worked for over 4 years.

    Wiper Fluid Not Working

    I found that I had voltage at the pump connector when the washer switch was activated. I installed a delco replacement and it works now. The delco pump has an harness adaptor included which I really don't care for, but it works. I would find a direct plug in replacement if I had to do it again...

    '99 TJ Steering Problems

    http://www.directpowersteering.com.au/ A shop could probably seal the box or point you in the right direction. Jeeps are easy compared to most others.

    '99 TJ Steering Problems

    I found seal kits on ebay.au for $41 AUD I also found a used box for $275 AUD. Clean it up with a can of engine degreaser and a power washer. Let it dry completely and get a friend to start the engine while you take a look. Might be an o-ring, or a loose or bad hose. I did a quick search and...

    Front diff whining on both acceleration and deceleration

    Pop the cover off and take a look. It might not be to late to save it. I've never seen one get "quieter" unless something is adjusted or tweaked.

    Vise stand: some assembly required

    This thing is massive, that's a group 31 battery.

    Vise stand: some assembly required

    That's a good one and well worth restoring. I added some channel for "portability" and spray bombed the stand to keep it from rusting.

    Jeep running rough and stalling when driving

    l just did a write up on how to change the Cam Position Sensor on the early 4.0. It was in the "how to" section but was moved. https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/97-tj-4-0-camshaft-position-sensor-replacement.18359/

    Removing rear driveshaft

    Big screwdriver between the pinion nut and the u joint. Push toward the front or back of the jeep. (forward/aft ) should pop right out

    Vise stand: some assembly required

    Man, thats a nice collection. I know what you mean about tooo big or too high. I've got a 4 1/2 Columbian at home, that's 12" from the bench to the top of the jaws. It gets most of the heat/beat/fubar jobs. No shop is complete without a good vise or two.

    Vise stand: some assembly required

    Portability is relative lol. I'll move a half ton of gear to save me multiple 100 yard walks. The inside of our shop is about 400' x 500'.

    97 TJ 4.0 camshaft position sensor replacement

    No need to remove the distributor. Just the cap and rotor. Dunno how to edit first post.

    97 TJ 4.0 camshaft position sensor replacement

    Now is a good time to ensure the distributor retaining bolt is snug. Mine was loose, hence the oil weepage seen in the first photo. A 1/2" crowsfoot and a long extension was all that was needed to put a half turn on the bolt. It's easier to do this before installing the CPS because the wires...

    97 TJ 4.0 camshaft position sensor replacement

    To remove it I used a fishhook pick to grab the plate just under the wire loom. Lift upward and it pops right out.

    97 TJ 4.0 camshaft position sensor replacement

    Symptoms: Hard to start, harder to start under 50F. Tach needle would go crazy right before stalling. Anytime, any speed/rpm. Wouldn't restart hot. Let cool for 10 minutes to restart. Pulled codes via odometer/ keyswitch method. Code 54. Pulled distributor and rotor to reveal CPS. Some...
