    Tail light wiring

    I got my led tail lights wired in. I know the green and red goes to the left and the brown and red go to the right. My harness has a green and red on the right side. I didn't connect it, and everything works as it should. What should I do with it? I don't want it to ground out or anything...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    mind sharing the link to the dimensions for that? I would like to do this upgrade!

    CJ Drop Down Tailgate

    You can, but you would have to latch it from the outside. Just a little extra fabbing. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

    CJ Drop Down Tailgate

    I would like to share the process for my drop down tailgate. I have seen a few write ups but none too detailed. Note: I realized this cannot be done with a hard top unless an external latch is done, or the stock TJ tailgate is used. I started out with a CJ tailgate I picked up for a steal...

    02 TJ shakes on start-up

    It's doesn't hesitate or anything like that. I'm taking it to a shop tomorrow. We are going to check the coil and the IAC to see if that does anything. The plugs are recent. My mechanic said maybe a head gasket starting to go out.

    02 TJ shakes on start-up

    I tried to search for this issue, but the word "shake" always directs me to deathwobble. The issue is, about 90% of the time, on start-up the motor shakes and sounds like it wants to die for a few minutes. we just did the plugs and everything else seems to work. no codes on the reader. Help is...

    Lift Build Plan Review

    Do you need the adjustable track bar? I know it's not as fancy, but most kits with only 2" of lift only have you drill the hole 3/4" to the right on the axle mount. Or maybe a drop bracket to correct the angle and shift the axle over slightly. 2" of lift won't move the axle out of center much...

    Tailgate Conversion

    I plan on using stock CJ hinges. Where I'm stuck at, til I get my tailgate, is creating a latch that can be opened from the outside. From what I see online, you have to reach in to unlatch the gate. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

    Tailgate Conversion

    http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/body-chassis/154-0707-jeep-tailgate-conversion-6-half-steps-to-bliss/ It's not too much of a job it seems. Just a little fab to make the hinges work. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

    Tailgate Conversion

    did you do this? how did you make the latch? I have seen a few write ups but I'm still unsure how the latches work on the CJ tailgate.

    Cut Plastic Stock Fenders

    Can I see pics of people's stock plastic fenders cut to look like flat fenders? I want to do this temporarily until I can save the $dough$ for tube fenders. Maybe some tips on what you used to cut them, tricks to cutting straight, etc etc etc?

    2003 Power Steering Gear Box

    I would look into getting a Dodge Durango steering box. they are supposedly more stout and have 3.5 turns lock to lock instead of only 2.5. I know they are bolt in for at least the 1997-2003 TJ.

    Horn Relay.

    I would follow your wires and make sure there isn't anything shorting or making a bad ground.

    What's Missing?

    A lot of people who have 97-02 TJ's mod the intake tube to put that sensor there. supposedly it makes a difference when it reads the intake temperature from the tube instead of the intake manifold.

    Prepping for a semi-long trip

    That trip honesty isn't very long for a Jeep that gets regular maintenance. I would be curious to hear about what extra parts people stock, back up fluids, first aid, tools, etc. for a trip like this or even longer.

    Rampage Frameless Trail Top

    the Bestop Trektop NX is the Bestop version of the rampage top. look into it, I'm pretty sure you can store the windows the same as the Rampage.

    Rampage Frameless Trail Top

    I don't recommend the Rampage brand top unless you aren't going to use it much at all. We use one for my Girlfriends TJ during the summer and the hardtop for winter. The seams and zippers ripped fairly quick and the straps that tighten the back window dry rotted and broke. I haven't personally...

    The Official SYE (Slip Yoke Eliminator) Thread

    When looking for a kit, is it best to buy the SYE and install it, then send off the measurements for a driveshaft? Or should I assume that most companies have worked with SYE's and driveshafts to know what I need for my specific set up? Also, If I can't do a tummy tuck at the same time as the...
