    Is this an OEM or aftermarket hardtop?

    Is there a way to distinguish a factory hardtop vs aftermarket? The picture with the red arrow has a panel on the side that seems to be a factory top feature. I'm looking to buy a hardtop to permanently install a roof rack...

    Source of leak? (with pics)

    Went under my 98 Jeep to grease up the suspension linkages and found a large area on the tub, above the transfer case and transmission, wet with oil. I think it is a red tint, which makes me think it is transfer case or transmission fluid but I see no leaks whatsoever from either where the fill...

    Is it possible to strip the thread on the 4x4 transfer case switch?

    My OCD is getting the better of me and I want my 4x4 light on the dash to work. I just bought a replacement switch for the transfer case (Crown J8134473) and used the rubber ring from the old switch on the new one. But the new switch will not go in! I did notice some residue on the old switch's...

    4WD works but light won't come on

    Found a few posts about the 4WD light on dash staying on all the time or just flashing but none about it not coming on when engaged. Is there a simple fix to get it to come on when engaged? No idea where to begin.

    New TJ, new fluids all around. What would you do next?

    My new-to-me 98 TJ is a 4.0, has 125k and pretty much stock. Looks like it has a brand new radiator and coolant and holds temp nicely. I recently changed out all other fluids, a cracked alternator, and switched out to LEDs in front and rear. RMS has a light drip so I won't even bother until at...

    Half door opens from inside but not from outside

    Bought a set of color matching half doors with the zipper window tops for dirt cheap. When I tested them out on site the passenger side latch got stuck but hey I figured it's super cheap I can fix it. But now both doors don't work from the outside but they do from the inside. Is this a known...

    Seeking opinions on result of a Dana 35 fluid change

    So I just changed out the fluid on my Jeep's Dana 35 rear axle. The picture below is what came out (minus the light switch). Not sure if and when the previous owner changed the fluid before. I applied the gasket maker on the differential cover instead of the housing on the axle and, when I was...

    Alternator housing crack

    I noticed a crack on my Jeep's alternator and wondering what the side effects of not replacing it are. It hasn't given me any issues since I bought it 500 miles or so ago. An off road shop told me they didn't know what would happen if it broke, said maybe a fire. Is it worth replacing?

    Question about friction modifier for Dana 35

    Hey Chris, first of all thanks for your thread about fluid capacities (https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/wrangler-tj-fluid-capacities.195/) super helpful! One question I had is, when you mention that the Dana 35 requires 4 oz of friction modifier if it has limited slip, do we still need to add...
