    I used a short cut on setting the steering wheel. Just used one of my spring clamps on the center of the wheel. No tape and easy to see.

    How to align your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    After an hour ride. All I can say is WOW, drives so much better now. Before it was not bad at all. Now turn the wheel loose and it does not move. Again Thanks for the info on how to get this done at home. Also nice riding around with the doors off. Enjoying the 70 degree evening. Pete

    Fuel pump on its way out

    Guess my fuel pump is going out now. Getting where I have to cycle the key a time or 3 to get it started. Was it had to sit overnight. Now if it sits 30 minutes fuel drains back out of the line. So will order a new fuel pump. Anything else I need to swap out while doing this? 1997 TJ 2.5L

    Steering install: Do I need to use a reamer drill bit or will a regular drill bit get the job done?

    Or take it to a local machine shop. They can drill the hole and make it right. Most will not charge that much to just drill a hole or three.

    Installing cruise control on a 2.4 liter TJ

    No pics but the extra cable between the stop on the end. Then where the stop needs to hit. Put wire ties around the cable. That round section takes up the slack. Add enough to take up the slack in the cable. The big end of a wire tie when going around the cable.Acts as a spacer.

    Towing capacity

    Seen a TJ last July, sitting on top of the Jersey Barrier in the middle of the Hwy. They had (was told with trailer) 1800 lbs behind the 4" lifted jeep TJ. If it were me with 6" lift would not want anything behind it and feel safe on the Hwy. If the weight is not adjusted where its right. And...

    How-To: No-Drill Garmin Navigation Dash Mount for Wrangler TJ/LJ

    I keep thinking about a phone mount where you have the radio's at the top of the windshield. Any ideals on a mount that would work in that spot easy? Have a few hundred feet of Aluminum angle and flat bar.

    Reese Adjustable Towbar

    Almost the same one, just charged more for it. I have seen these mounted on the angle like your talking about. I have one of the asjustable arm ones. It mounts to the tabs on my bumper, where the tow hooks go.

    97 TJ Steering Wheel Won't Lock

    If it locks when your towing it. Front tires will not last long at all. Mine is a 97 and does not lock. Sure hope it does not when turned also. Be bad to have to leave my key in it. When were towing it behind the RV.

    Installing cruise control on a 2.4 liter TJ

    I have added wire tied to the end of cables. Cut of the tag end of the ties. That takes up some slack, Fords are bad about that at the Throttle inside. Add a couple wire tie's and its back to normal. Will that allow the slack to be taken up on your cable?

    Is Rancho having a problem with Rancho RS5000 shocks?

    How bad were your spark plugs?

    The plugs in my 97 2.5L were spot on the gap. Spot on at 65 thousands and still ran good. But ran better with new plugs.
