    Doors off and dome light

    I just removed my full doors for the first time. Do I need to do something for the light switches? Amazon sells some clips that you put on them. Will it drain my battery if I don't?

    Water temp gauge

    My TJ Sport has a new problem. The temp gauge dropped today below 100 while I was driving it. Is it a gauge or a sending unit? Never had that problem in forty years.

    Throwing accessory drive belt under load

    I'm not trying to seal your question, but it relates. I replaced a belt three months ago and the steering pump pulley looked liked this. I do not know how long the belt was on before I replaced it. The pulley looks cracked or is that factory? The new Gates belt only lasted thought the summer...

    Removing a/c: change to non-a/c controls, remove compressor clutch relay, etc.

    Okay, Fess Up. Who Has Named Their Jeep? (And What Is It?)

    I use to call it roadkill because it was wrecked when I bought it. Now it drives fine until I get thirty miles from my house. New name Diablo. It's demon seed.
