    Any Reviews for B&G Tuning?

    Has anyone used B&G's mail-in PCM tuning service? Whether for a stock tune or with forced air, any experiences, positive or negative?

    Recommendations for Eye Protection

    Looking for recommendations of good eye protection. Preferably something under which I can still wear prescription glasses, so maybe a shield.

    Toggling a Supercharger

    This Jeeper installed an Eaton supercharger on his YJ. The supercharger is clutched, and he uses an Arduino to toggle the supercharger on and off. Has anyone done anything similar (toggling) on a TJ? I wonder if the TJ's PCM makes it any easier or any more difficult?

    Removing Fluid Film to Apply Eastwood

    I have Fluid Film in my frame rails. I'd like to remove it and apply Eastwood. I have a sewer jetter, which I can use to spray out the Fluid Film. I wonder if I should also use some kind of degreaser, or whether that would introduce one more thing to interfere with Eastwood adhesion. Edit...

    WTB: Skyjacker Black Max Shocks

    B8516s and/or B8508s. I'll probably buy some soon, but just checking in case anyone tried them and moved on, with a set they'd sell for cheap.

    Lift Geometry: Rear Spring Axis vs Rear Shock Axis

    Overthinking the basics of lift geometry: 1) Given the difference between rear shock axis and rear spring axis, is there any notable difference between how much of lift one gets along the shock axis for a given amount of lift along the spring axis? 2) Forgetting shocks for a moment: given...

    Convenient Paint "Matching"

    Paint companies like SEM offer mixing codes/formulas to match the interiors (and exteriors?) of certain TJ colors. But that can be a hassle, and is expensive, and isn't necessarily guaranteed to match between mixing locations anyway. Sometimes it's nice to know of an easily accessible option...

    How Much Body Lift Would Cause Shifting Problems

    I've seen some posts about manual transmission shifter trouble after a body lift. Knuckles hitting the dash, or the shifter arm hitting edges of the console. Is this particular to certain years or certain models? And how much body lift would cause these problems? And does a tummy-tuck solve...

    Specs for Bolts Connecting Rear Bumper to Frame

    I noticed that this bolt (red circle) is missing on both sides of my bumper. FSM doesn't say what size or thread they are. Anyone know what I should buy? I'm also missing one of the flanged nuts on the gas tank skid (green circle), if anyone knows those specs too. Of course I can remove one...

    WTB: GROM USB Input for OEM Stereo

    There are a few variations out there. I'm not too worried about whether it has Bluetooth, and whether it has one or two inputs. Just so long as it has at least one USB input. Can be for either the early (97–02) or late (03–06) Chrysler head units.

    WTB: OEM / Chrysler CD Player

    Wrangler TJ Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs)

    I'm going through TSBs, and will populate the tables below as I go along. (For an intro to TSBs, see here.) I'm not sure whether I have a comprehensive set. If you have one you'd like to include, just post a reply and I'll add it. The TSBs I've found are numbered to match the corresponding...

    Questions About Purge Valve Solenoid Behavior

    Context: I'm troubleshooting MIL code 31 (P0441), which I posted about over here. This post led me to believe that my purge valve solenoid needed to be replaced, as mentioned here. Now I'm not so sure. Reasons given below. My Understanding: The purge valve solenoid has two ports, each with...

    Why the Insulation on Wire Connectors?

    Many wire connectors come with color-coded insulation, like in the picture below. I find that they just seem to get in the way when crimping. They prevent me from seeing the quality of the crimp I've made, and they make the connection a bit bulky and clunky (especially when several wires are...

    Seat "Tumble Groove" Dimensions

    This is a pic of the slot/groove on bottom of the passenger seat in my 97 SE. It has an interior height of 0.5". Can anyone with a 99–06 TJ tell me if this matches theirs? Trying to figure out whether I have one of the unusual 97s mentioned here.

    Where (Else) Are Headlights Grounded?

    There is a small wire on the back side of the grill, directly behind each headlight. I think it’s the ground wire for the headlight. If so, is this the only factory ground for headlights? (In pic, never mind the white wire that has been cut.) Conclusion: I was surprised to see that the eye...

    How Much Current Does a Relay Draw Across the 85 and 86 Pins?

    I am wiring three new OEM-style accessory switches. I think all three came from Gold Coast Distributing, but I'm not 100% sure. All three will be used with Bosch-style relays. Each switch gets wired not only to the relay, but also to its own 12V source and ground. What kind of current...
