    Can I replace the windshield weatherstrip without removing the windshield?

    The weatherstrip has come off in the corner several times at highway speeds so I’ve had to tape it down. Can I pull this out and replace it? I’ve seen windshield replacement videos and people install this before putting the windshield in. If I can replace it, what do I use to keep it stuck...

    Is oil on a spark plug really bad?

    Misfire in cylinder 1. I pulled the plug and saw oil on the threads but not on the electrodes. Is this bad? I’m hoping it’s a spark plug cylinder gasket failure rather that something else. Any other ways to check? It misfires most of the time at idle but occasionally it stops for a few seconds...

    Today I learned about soft rear window durability

    They can crack! I had no idea. Reasons: - Unseasonably cold weather (9 degrees) - 16 year old plastic My fault. I like to keep the back window unzipped at the side so I can flip it over the soft top when I’m loading groceries. Because of the cold weather the window didn’t stay on the soft top...

    Do bull bars make you safer?

    Anyone experienced or witnessed a front collision of a TJ that has a HD replacement front bumper? Do you think the occupants would be less prone or more prone to injury in a head on collision? I’m wondering whether to keep mine on the Jeep for when my kid starts driving, or put the stock one...

    Should I be using my transfer case?

    Someone told me I’m supposed to periodically use my transfer case at least once a year, otherwise it could get damaged by not using it at all. I’ve never heard this before, is it true? If so, why?

    OEM bumper bolts for aftermarket bumper?

    Are the Torx bolts for the front bumper ok to use for an aftermarket bumper? (60+ lbs) Not planning on adding a winch. I’ve seen all the threads on replacing with grade 8 hex head bolts, but not sure if they are needed or a nice to have.

    Stuck zip tricks?

    I’ve screwed up one of my rear window zips. I had them zipped up the sides to flip my rear window up to get groceries in the back. But when zipping it down to close it jammed on me, I should have known better than to force it and now it looks like this. It absolutely won’t go up any more (I...

    Want to see Dark Slate vs Khaki interior color?

    I amazingly (to me anyway) managed to find new OEM front floor mats for my TJ. I have a Dark Slate interior, and these are Khaki but I didn’t want to miss the opportunity since I’ve put 2 holes in my drivers side floor mat from my heel (over the 14 years I’ve owned it) In case you want to see...

    Cut off saw recommendations

    I’m in need of a small cut off saw for cutting through some metal piping. I have no knowledge of this type of tool so I’m wondering if you guys could provide some recommendations. I think a dremel might not be big enough (which I don’t have anyway) The pipe is about .5” in diameter, hollow but...

    Any home HVAC techs out there?

    I’ve got a Carrier Performance boost 80 that is not cooling. When I had an HVAC tech come out he said it was an issue with the Equipment Interface Module (box that sits in between the thermostat and control board on the HVAC), he said it wasn’t sending the voltage back to the control board on...

    Any good quality timing belt kits?

    Is it worth buying components for a timing belt/chain replacement separately or are the kits out there (off RockAuto) good enough? Any recommendations on kit manufacturers?

    Anyone fixed a P1697 and P2074?

    I used to have the 1697 code intermittently, but now it comes back after I clear it. Also have 2074 which only happens when it rains and causes the Jeep to stumble. I've looked both these codes up and know what they mean, but not sure how to fix them. Any ideas? Also had the P0420 code at the...
