    Different Reason for Inaccurate Speedometer

    Over the last 7 years owning my TJ, I have fought getting the speedometer to read accurately even after swapping in what should have been the correct speedo gear after changing tire size. Most recently, I swapped new axles (4.10s) into the Jeep. I also installed the corresponding speedo gear...

    Dana 35 spider gears chipped

    Picked up a Dana 30 and 35 with 4.10 gearing recently to swap out my axles with 3.07 gearing. Cost was $500 + $120 in fuel to buy them. Opened up the Dana 35 and noticed chips out of 2 teeth on one of the spider gears. Other spider gears look mostly ok with some pitting in 2 other teeth. Ring and...

    Cruise Control and Clutch Safety Switch

    Since buying my Jeep 6 years ago, the factory cruise control has never worked. Yes, I have verified this is the case by testing it on the highway. I have been reading through old threads on this issue and have not yet found a solution. When I start the Jeep, there is no flash of the “cruise”...

    How to Remove the Grille

    The grille on my TJ was damaged when I bought it from a minor collision the PO had, so I recently decided to remove it and replace it with a straight used one. I couldn’t find any write-ups when I started researching how big of a task this was, so I decided to make one after tackling the...

    Speedometer Off After Changing Speedo Gear

    I know this issue has come up on the forum before, but I have tried some of the solutions and thought processes to remedy it and I'm still unsure. I am working on correcting the speedometer. My TJ has 3.07 gears and 32-inch tires. I have verified this ratio by checking the tags and turning the...

    Strange Clunking Noise

    Ever since I bought my Jeep a few years ago it has had a clunking noise that seems to come from the back end, particularly the back passenger side. I have laid underneath and yanked on various suspension components (shocks, control arms, track bar, etc.), but nothing is obviously loose. I was...

    How would you get this broken bolt out?

    I was pulling the passenger seat out of the Jeep today and one of the bolts decided not to cooperate, which means I broke it off. I’m sure that many of you have dealt with similar issues. So my question is, how would you go about getting this bolt out aside from welding a nut on and trying...

    Radio Bezel

    Could anyone direct me to a bezel that would make this radio’s mounting look a little nicer? The radio came with the Jeep and I’d like to tidy up the look a little bit. I would need to make sure the screen could still come out of course. Also, this radio has an option for a back up camera. Does...

    LED Taillights

    Does anyone know if the pigtails for the taillights are all the same from year to year on the TJ? I have the option to pick up a brand new set of Quadratec LEDs for $50 and am wondering if they will work for my 2000 TJ. I’ve also read that the flashers needed are different from year to year...

    Bulldog Security

    I had the dash torn apart on the Jeep the other day and found a black box that says bulldog security on it. You can see it pictured below. As you can see, the box and that big white plug have wires going into the ignition. When I plug that huge connector into the box, the Jeep acts as if the key...
