Now, the top doesn't seem to fit right, the back is flush and the front sticks over the windshield by 1/16" this creates a draft that can be heard and felt. the holes that screw to the cab seem elongated, and the clips that...

Whats up guys, i got a 99 Wrangler Sport, 5 spd with 31's. I know these things aren't the best MPG but I normally average a little over 13 mpg. A week or two ago I changed the fluid to 175w-40 ( i plan on towing a small boat eventually) and i put 90-40 in the front. I lost 2mpg right away, what...

Took off my front drive shaft today due to a dent. Found out that my exhaust bracket that attaches to my trans was sheered off... Seemed like the exhaust sepperated by like 1/4 inch after the cat.

I've had my 99 Sport torn apart for about 4 months with no battery. I did the big 3 upgrade, a stereo install, fixed some broken wires and replaced my oil sending unit. If you recall i was also the one that had the PCM willed with oil. I washed it with alcohol and let it dry for a few days. and...

Whats up guys, had a question about the motor and body grounds, and the connector/lugs you should use. I was planning on using a 3/8 lug. I want to make sure i'll get a good connection. I don't wanna fry my amp I just installed. The rear motor ground seems like its tapered. I drilled out the...
