    How warm is the inside of your TJ?

    My HVAC wasn’t blowing at all. PO said he never had it working. After reading threads on this forum I also replaced the switch panel, blower, resistor and door actuator. The switch panel contacts had melted due to the resistor going out and allowing voltage to pass through to the panel.

    How warm is the inside of your TJ?

    Mine has the soft top, I replaced the seized blower motor and the resistor last year and as long as I have it recirculate the air inside the vehicle it will get toasty after about 5-10 minutes. Even in sub 20 degree weather like we just had here in North Texas.

    No; I don’t believe every accident is a result of it but in this case he admitted on camera that this was the case. After the accident the lady behind him said she had to honk at him at the stop sign to go. He was texting someone he was going to pick up for school.

    Texting and speeding: how to derail a TJ’s facelift

    Thought I had replied; looks like there’s gaps between the frame and body. Judging by my measurement which were done in the cold and in low light conditions it appears that from passenger side tire to frame is 5 3/4” spacing to wheel on driver side it appears from frame to tire is 5.” I can’t be...

    Man. That’s the worse; there’s an empty feeling when it’s a hit and run. Having a phone in your hand illegal here in Texas as well. The kid did get a citation in this case.

    Ha! I did sarcastically offer!!! But it took his momma and daddy about 45 minutes to get there from 5 blocks away; the officers had to ask about 10 times because he didn’t even have his license on him and the officer couldn’t find him in the system with the name and DOB that he gave.
