    Blower motor fan speed selection switch not working

    So, about 2 days ago my HVAC cluster went from working perfectly to not having any fan speeds at all. I've had this issue before and I thought that it would kind of just fix itself like last time, but this time around seems to be a little different. 3 days in and no blower. I don't really even...

    Got my Driver's License Today!

    Really excited to start driving my TJ a lot more often. Since buying it last July I have only been able to put about 500 miles on it since I needed another person in the passenger to be allowed to drive. Now, I am able to drive on my own! In my 1st day of dailying it, I had my fan speed selector...

    Transmission may have just blown

    My brother left his Jeep with me so me and my dad could take it to get the trans oil filter replaced, so for him to commute around for the next couple of days I let him use mine. He calls us 20 or so minutes after he leaves and says that white smoke is coming from underneath the body and for us...

    2000 4.0L Auto stalls occasionally while driving

    Not my TJ, but my brother's. He has a 2000 4.0L Automatic Sahara Package (though I don't think Sahara makes much a difference in diagnosing this lol). He calls me and tells me that he was going down the highway when all of the sudden his tach drops to 0 and he starts losing speed similar to if...

    Rear seat retainer strap is so worthless that it is rare

    This curiosity has had my attention for the last hour and had my scouring the web for something, anything. When you fold up the rear seat on the earlier TJs, there is no spring-like mechanism like there is used in the later models that keeps the seat up, so Jeep used a strap that looped around...

    Got our old YJ back!

    As I wrote and referenced to in a couple of my posts, we had a '92 YJ that my dad bought new off of the showroom floor, and he sold to his friend for something more economical at the time (2013 Dodge Dart) and for the last 8 years it has been in NYC getting fixed up and driven by his friend...

    Cleanest CJ-5 I've ever seen

    Went to Jeep Beach at Singer Island, FL on Saturday, and there I saw the best-looking CJ-5—or best CJ in general—that I have ever seen. Completely clean underside as well, no rust at all. I was told by a couple of other lookers that it was '72-'75 based on the windshield and fenders. A little...

    '98 Sport - A build of discovery and envy

    I've thought about starting a build thread for a little bit, but thought I did not have enough things done to warrant one and being too poor to get new things. Decided that even little repairs and such make sense, and I have about 14 folders of pictures from major(-ish) things that I have done...

    I got a hardtop, for FREE!

    If anybody was to look through my previous postings, like this time, when I had the thought of a new hardtop, and when I almost settled for an aftermarket hardtop, you would be able to deduce fairly fast that I was thirsting hard for a hardtop. I just really liked the look better and my Jeep was...

    Where to find the interior door pull bracket nut?

    I've been looking for some new things so I can finally put some door pulls back on the interior of my Jeep. I was able to find this one (part no. 6504993AA) on Morris 4x4, but it is just 1 for $5, and I need 3. I feel that there is a much cheaper option somewhere, and I really don't want to be...

    Installed fog lights from a 2000 Sahara onto my TJ

    How the bumper looked the day I replaced it (the one in my profile picture was the old one that was breaking) The bumper with new foglights on! PO cut the original connectors instead of disconnecting them like a normal person, so I just had to directly wire them in. Don't mind the bipolar South...

    Have to hammer the key to get to turn

    Not my issue, but on a family friend's 1999 4.0L. He has an issue where he can't get the key to turn unless he gives it a couple of good smacks with a mallet, and obviously, it gets worse each time. Is this the cylinder or the switch? Or maybe some other part, I don't know how the key-area works...

    New hardtop directly from Mopar?

    I was on the Mopar website to look for some parts (was going to replace the mirrors because the old ones suck and I read you can get them new) and I got curious and started to navigate the webiste. I found this hardtop in black directly new from Mopar. Is this even possible? Does only come with...

    An unusual solution to engine taking a long time to start

    So, as I talked about it a couple of my past posts, my engine would take a while to start up and I would have to push the gas pedal down to get the engine to start while I was turning the key. Just last week, I changed my thermostat and its housing to fix a completely unrelated issue...

    What are your thoughts on the 2021 Rubicon 392?

    Just yesterday I saw with my family the announcement of the new Rubi 392, and it absolutely blew us away. A V8!? In a Jeep?!?! Stock?!?!? Wanted to know what the other people on this forum's opinions were on it because if we had more money, we would snap that thing right up lol

    Putting carpet on top of Rhino Liner?

    So I recently just bought a Rough Country carpet from some person that bought it online and never even opened the box, and I was wondering how I should even approach putting it in. I have a rhino lined floor, so the normal method of spray-on adhesive I feel might not be a good idea since I don't...

    Aftermarket hard top with rear wiper defrost and washer?

    In the market for a hard top, and need the wiper, washer, and defrost because of where I live. However, while looking I noticed the distinct lack of aftermarket tops with all three of these, or any of them at all for that matter. There was one top that had only a defrost, but that's it. I would...

    A/C swaps to defrost vents when at speed

    I have a 98 TJ, whenever I drive at the range of 45-70 mph, the AC will switch to the defrost vents and stay there for a while, before heading back. The only other time this happens is when I first start it up, and the AC starts making a high pitched noise through the defrosts and I have to turn...

    How to remove front seatbelts?

    I looked this up because I bought a replacement webbing service (safetyrestore.com), naturally my next step was to look up how to remove the seatbelts. To my suprise, there were no clear instructions on how to do this like there are on things like changing the center console or replacing...
