    Viair 88p on ABS tray - have a couple questions

    I've kept a Viair 88p in my trunk for years (along with a bunch of other stuff) but am trying to free up space and have seen that some put them on the ABS tray. I finagled it in there between the fender and the brake booster yesterday to make sure it'd fit. It does, at somewhat of an angle. But...

    Factory radio value - is this thing worth keeping?

    I hoard shit too much. Still have the factory head unit out of my old 2000. Don't even have the Jeep anymore. I figured somebody somewhere along the line might want it and I can make fifty bucks. But the space it's taking up and the work to sell it is starting to become more valuable. Maybe...

    Adding a front spacer - what am I up against?

    I had the Jeep lifted at the end of last summer. Details below (not pictured are adjustable front trackbar and other required hardware). It's a small lift, running 31's. I had them add .75 spacers in front that I had leftover from a previous jeep. Now that things have settled, and despite...

    Tuffy glovebox just installed - my takeaways

    I grabbed the Tuffy glovebox on sale on Amazon, 170 down from the usual 200. Just finished installing. It went mostly smoothly, but I did run into some trouble once I got to the step that requires you to drill a second set of holes in the steel glovebox frame behind the lock catch. The...

    Easy way to relocate factory fogs on aftermarket bumper?

    I have an aftermarket bumper that lacks the second set of holes for the factory fogs that the OEM bumper has. I planned on removing the vertical bolt on the light brackets and running a bumper bolt through it, letting the light share a mounting point with the bumper. But after a little forum...

    2nd storage post in 24 hours (rear cargo storage WITH seat?)

    Forgive me. Yesterday I posted seeking suggestions for storage under the rear seat. Today I am seeking suggestions for when I have the rear seat flipped forward. I run the Tuffy trunk enclosure. And am planning on getting their speaker lockbox armrest things that mount over the rear wheel wells...

    Under rear seat storage - any ideas?

    in looking to optimize every inch of the vehicle (and prioritize out-of-sight options), I'm trying to find something to add storage under the rear seat. I do leave the rear seat in always, so removal isn't an option. I just want something slim and secure to store some stuff that right now...

    Anyone do a front half console delete?

    I am considering a Tuffy half console for my '97. https://tuffyproducts.com/products/jeep-series-ii-rear-half-center-security-console-jeep-1997-2006-wrangler-tj/?sku=044-01 The full console is too expensive, and for other reasons I am less interested in the factory console insert version, so...

    Need secure rear passenger area storage solution WITH seat and Tuffy trunk installed.

    So I run one of these behind the rear seat to make it a lockable compartment. Mostly for summer usage, as I've got the soft top on 9 months out of the year. https://tuffyproducts.com/products/jeep-standard-cargo-area-security-enclosure-jeep-1997-2006-wrangler-tj/?sku=296-01 I'm trying to come...

    What can I expect to pay to have my header replaced?

    '97 Sahara. Had it in for a lift last week (following a ton of help on this forum deciding what I wanted a few years back. Finally got around to it) and they found that the header was cracked. Browsed a few threads and it sounds like rather than an OEM manifold, one of the $100 amazon headers...

    Any prep needed for Fluid Film?

    A shop near me in central PA recently began offering fluid film service. I believe it's something like $250. My understanding is that it penetrates existing rust and halts its progression. But does not remove it. I have a little surface rust underneath. Frame is sound. Should I bother trying to...

    Straightening a building stud with a jeep — dumb?

    My father is restoring a cabin that he got for dirt cheap ... because a tree fell through the back wall and roof. The tree also cracked one of the framing studs of an outer wall (sorry if that's the wrong term, i'm not sure) and he needs to pull it square so he can reinforce it and begin...

    Cost to repaint Sahara fender?

    While I was out of town, someone side swiped my parked jeep. Just the front left fender. They left a note and responded when I reached out. Said they'd like to pay to have it fixed, or whatever amount I think is fair. I've never had anything painted before. What might you expect this to set me...

    Did I kill my starter/ignition or my battery?

    Long story short (already made another post about this), would-be's busted my whole lock cylinder out trying to steal my jeep. Just the housing, the cylinder is fine, only turns with my key, but can go in and out of the hole freely with pulling. And I can start the jeep. I was starting it...

    Theft attempt—lock sort of broken, but starts. What do I need to fix it?

    Well, the clutch shackle, steering wheel-to-brake-pedal club, battery kill, and hood lock saved my ass last night. Just found the entire lock cylinder busted out, with the little plastic cover broken in two. When I peer in, I can see that part of the lock cylinder housing was broken off...

    Finding my old man a Jeep. Is this one too good to be true?

    He bought a TJ in 97 and drove it into the ground. Finally gave it up in 2013 and missed it ever since (especially since I bought my first one in 2019, ya know, jealousy and all). With jeep prices the way they've been lately, this one seems like a steal, and I want to make sure I find him...

    Got a shop quote for a small lift—is this the right move?

    Before you say "do it yourself"... I know, and I can't. I don't have the space or the expertise to do it. On my last Jeep, a 2.5" OME kit took my buddy 2 days because we ran into so many headaches, and that was in his shop, using air tools. I won't have that luxury this time, and it's a daily...

    Need to top off coolant—unsure of type—should I just use distilled H2O?

    My radiator is leaking slightly. My overflow reservoir is empty. I have a drive from PA to VA and then VA to NC (8hrs total-ish) on Friday and I'd prefer to at least top it off before I do that. I can tell that the coolant in there is green from the slight bit of leak spray on the inside of...

    Value of MOPAR bug deflector and bike rack?

    Hey all - my jeep came with some stuff I'm never gonna use and I'm trying to clean house. Might put some shit up on FB marketplace and Craigslist cause why the hell not. Mopar bug deflector - anyone know the value of these? I don't imagine there's really much demand for them but have no real...

    Flood title minty frame LJ, York PA $11,000

    Flood title is something to be dubious of, but you could eat sushi off that frame. Seems like a great price for a build platform. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/562790865129816/
