    Spacers and Steering?

    My tires and wheels are stock sizes. 2" spacers are in place from previous owner. No plans to go with bigger tires or wheels at this time. Highway use only. I like the look. I am concerned what damage, if any, will result from spacer use.

    Lever action rifles

The Win. has a straight stock and the Marlin has a pistol grip stock. There are vast differences in comfort when firing IMHO. It is nice...

    Bubbles in coolant and heat shield

    Help on 2 topics above, please: - what do bubbles in the coolant indicate? - I remember seeing a photo of the insulation used on the #3 cylinder heat soak. Would someone tell me where to find it so I can show it to the staff at O'Reilly's, please?

    2005 tj smells like coolant when air/heat is on

    Thanks for all the help. The good news is a leak was found at the thermostat housing. Better news is the problem has been fixed and the cooling system pressure test identified the location. Great suggestion. Also regarding the loaner pressure test kit from the auto parts store. The bad news is...

    Hello to all. I'm on my first Jeep Wrangler - an '02 Sahara - and am really enjoying it. Forums are great. My wife and I rode BMW motorcycles and the contributors in the forums saved me lots of money. So, I'm hoping the same will be true here.
