    How to recalibrate your speedometer after changing tire sizes or gears

    I bought the correct speedo gear based on the cart. I have the 3.73 gear ratio (based on my build chart and rear of the pumpkin), I have 255/70/16 tires (=30.1" inches) and I got the 34 teeth gear. I also tried to rotate the speedo sensor but no luck. My speedo is still 7 mph off, similar to...

    Replacement for radio antenna OEM or any aftermarket

    I broke my radio antenna last night. Looks like the previous owner broke it at the base, and superglued it back together. So what are my options? Another OEM or are there any aftermarket radio antenna (with the base) with good reception? TIA!

Now I can't open my passenger door. (issue with the lock?) Yes, I will bring it back to the shop. What can I do now, to...

    Replacing the interior lights of your Jeep Wrangler TJ with LEDs

    Yeah, I had a few beers down... I was jamming the neo4 where the neo3 goes. Broke the silver/metal connectivity part to the bulbs. I got it to work after using some electric-tape, keep the bulb in place.

    Replacing the interior lights of your Jeep Wrangler TJ with LEDs

    I did mine last week. Not bad at all. I didn't read the write-up on the toggle switches (rear wiper and O/D)... thinking it was the LED on top. I might have to buy new switches due to the orange light not engaging once the switches are turned on.

    Should I look for TJ wheels or JK wheels?

    Thank you for the info! :) The seller thinks they are originally from a Rubicon. I don't think the Liberty offers the moab wheels as an option. I love the looks of bigger wheels but don't want to mess with spacers. I am looking at 16"s moabs and maybe plasti-dip them in gunmetal gray.
