    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I haven't messed with the door locks. I did repair my center console to keep it from sticking, but didn't need to rekey it. I'm sure you could either rekey the locks with the proper tumbler parts or once you have the key code for the tumblers order a replacement lock with that key code...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Today, finally got around to replacing the lock cylinder on the 01 TJ. Was having intermittent issues with it locking up and not being able to start without hitting it. Yesterday, it started sticking in the starter position causing a grind if you didn't wiggle the key back. Installed a...

    Key won't turn in ignition

    I have manual trans. Pretty sure it is the cylinder based on how it has been happening. Also, not a steering lock issue.

    Key won't turn in ignition

    I watched the "how to" video. Should be simple enough. I think I'll be able to get it to turn since it has been an intermittent problem (hopefully). I appreciate the input.

    Key won't turn in ignition

    Thanks, will give it a try. It has been working and intermittently getting stuck. I've been able to get it turned over after messing with it for a few minutes. Yesterday, it took quite awhile to finally get it to turn. This morning, wouldn't turn at all. Luckily it is in the garage currently...

    Key won't turn in ignition

    Can you post the link for the replacement cylinder you used? Found one on Amazon. Just wanted to check. My 01 has finally locked up completely. Can't turn key at all. I think a few days of below avg temps may have contributed. Thanks.

    Is this normal? Jeep still runs after pulling key out of ignition

    My 01 does this also. I also have the inverse problem now. Sometimes, the key won't turn the ignition and I have to keep trying and wiggling it around to work. Will have to try the spare key to see if it is a key or ignition issue. Could be something with the key release button also.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    The console cushion was installed already when I got the Jeep. I think it was part of a Sahara appearance upgrade package.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Installed Smittybilt Neoprene seat covers. Look good. Hope they hold up well.

    Doorless side view mirrors

    I am happy with the ones I posted previously. I only put the driver's side on. The safari snorkel still blocked it on the passenger side. In theory, I didn't need either of them as TX only requires one mirror counting interior mirror, but I find it useful. This had stainless locking nuts. In...

    What is this vent hose for?

    A 10-32tpi x 1/2 in wing screw fits perfectly to stop up the rear windshield fluid tube. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-10-32-tpi-x-1-2-in-Zinc-Plated-Stamped-Steel-Wing-Screw-806818/204274471

    This is a Dana 30 front, right? Still learning the appearance to ID each.

    Warn driving lights

    These came on the vehicle when I bought it. Will have to check the wattage on them. They are remote controlled. Fairly bright halogen bulbs, but will likely switch them with LED at some point. So far, they have worked well.

    Daily Driver, Go Where I Want To Build

    Debated on it, but ended up putting a Smittybilt Fairlead license plate bracket on the front. Very happy with it. Works with roller or hawse fairleads. Just pop it off if I need to use winch or go off-road...

    Doorless side view mirrors

    Decided to give these a try. Seemed best option since the windshield bracket bolts are blocked on passenger side by safari intake. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GXCCK6X/?tag=wranglerorg-20

    Doorless side view mirrors

    I am looking for a good option for door off mirrors. I'll likely go with some simple hinge mounted ones as above. However, does anyone know of any mirrors that might mount to the windshield (light) brackets I already have (shown in pic)?
