I just got home from getting my TJ towed. I had been deer hunting 8 miles from my house and had been in the deep woods of our property. The road to and from the stand I hunted is pretty rough but I have been in and out the same route for the last couple of weeks. Three miles from the hunting...

My “check gauges” light came on and off a few times coming home from work today and everything is normal gauge wise. It would stay on a couple of minutes and then go off. I do have a USB charger that has a digital volt meter that did get up to 14.2 where it is usually hangs about 13.1 but I...

I had to do a heater core bypass a few weeks ago due to the fact that it threw up in my floorboard and out the drain holes. I have AC but I don’t use it much and I plan to replace the heater core (&AC) when I get some time in December. I was wondering if anyone has used an electric window...

It is time to replace the heater core on my TJ. I don’t have the time right now to get to it since it is my DD so I am going to bypass the core to keep the coolant out of the floorboards for now until the weather cools off In the Fall. My general question is, are there any side effects of...

I downsized to 31’s from the original 33’s last year that were on the Jeep when I bought it. I didn’t even think about the spare being a 33 as well and even more surprised my tire guy didn’t bring it up. I have hardly ever had a flat but recently picked up screws in both rear tires (not at the...

I went through my monthly check of fluids and miscellaneous underhood stuff yesterday and I noticed a lot of corrosion on the negative terminal battery post. I don’t drive it everyday and it has been a lot less with the “corona shutdown” but I haven’t had any starting issues or power related...

Lately I have heard a clunking sound when staring my 01 TJ. It does not appear while normal driving. It sounds like it is coming from the left side front but sometimes sounds like it comes from the rear. I recently changed all the driveshaft ujoints and they seem tight. I checked the motor...

So my jeep stranded me for two hours after deer hunting this morning. I put my key in the ignition and it would not turn. After two hours of praying, removing the shroud, and trying to remove the lock cylinder (to no avail), the key finally turned and allowed me to crank it and return home. Once...

My factory bumper did its job in the woods today and took out a stump about the size of my calf. I now need a new front bumper since the factory is now bent and probably won’t straighten out. I want a sturdy bumper that is a bumper and covers the front tires and actually protects the front end...

So my son got married yesterday at a place called Max Patch on the NC/TN line. The roads were decent but rain & sleet made the 8 mile stretch of Forest Service Access roads questionable but all the wedding party made it fine. I was regretting not bringing my 01 TJ instead of my wife's RAV4 when...

I thought this was very interesting in regards to the future of electric off-road vehicles. It looks lie and old Ford Bronco. http://bollingermotors.com/

Obviously my Jeep is invisible to oncoming vehicles as evidenced by people constantly pulling out in front of me, swerving across the center line, and "clipping the corners" while turning. I want to know what is the loudest practical horn that will fit under the hood and not cost a fortune. A...

I finally got around to changing the burned out courtesy light bulbs under the dash and find them to be quite handy - except the fact that they only stay on for about 3 seconds. Is there a way to increase the dwell time on the courtesy light function? Just wondering. Sent from my iPad using...

After having my right hip resurfaced 4 weeks ago, I have been forced (doctor's orders) to drive my wife's automatic car "Nascar style" (gas with right foot & brake with the left). I have 2 weeks left before being officially cleared by my doctor but I had to take it for a spin and man, did it...

Who out there does their own tire rotation? Back when I had a full size Bronco with 31x10's I used to rotate them myself. I then bought an F150 with more basic tires and got used to having them done at the tire shop (had it for 12 years). Now my "new" TJ has 33x12's with some large wheel weights...

It was raining a couple of weekends ago so I made a flip up trunk/cooler hauler for my TJ. Used some scrap metal around the shop and coated it with rattle can bedliner. I can now add the dry trunk and flip it out of the way when I am done. Added the reflectors for the idiots behind me surfing...

I finally got a hardtop for my Jeep and I was wondering if I could put 4 lifting eyebolts (stylishly fabricated) through the top and avoid the whole strap through the inside setup. I was thinking of putting metal bars on the inside to anchor and distribute the weight. I would then use a portable...

A buddy just gave me some coil springs that someone had given to him. I googled the part number from the tag (68004256AA) and the results came back for 2007-2012 JK rear springs. They looked like they have never been installed. My question is whether or not they would fit my 01 TJ that has...

I am new to the forum so here is my first post. I have an 01 TJ with a 3" lift. Sitting flat the rear end is 1.5" lower which make the nose point up. The rear end is also a little "spongy" when you press down on the rear bumper. My question is how to best to level it? Should I get new springs...

I got my first Jeep in the Spring of 2016. It is my daily driver and wekend warrior, especially during deer season. It was in great shape when I got it but for some reason there is this driving force to keep adding stuff to to it "whether it needs it it or not". I am looking forward to getting...
