Hey, everyone. I have been having some intermittent issues with my 1997 4.0 Manual TJ since June. I could really use some help. Sometimes it runs great, sometimes it runs really rough. Sometimes when I am coming to a stop, take my foot off the gas, put it in neutral, it idles very rough and...

Good afternoon, I’m having a fuel leak in my 97 4.0. In the engine bay, there’s a fuel line that connects to the fuel rail. It’s a stainless steel line, and then it’s a short rubber line, and then it connects to the fuel rail. The small rubber part is dry rotted and leaking. Does anyone...

I can hear air coming from the brake pedal area when I push in the brake. I know that this is likely due to a leak somewhere in the brake booster system, but I haven’t experienced any difference in the brake pedal. My brakes feel totally fine, I can just hear air. Live with it, or get a new...

Last night I noticed that my Jeep will come out of gear at certain RPMs without me putting the clutch in. If I’m making a turn and dropping to second, I really have to hold it in that bottom left corner to keep it in gear. Is this normal? Upon further inspection, I found that I can also get...

I may be tripping but does my rake look right? I just put a heavier bumper on the back and now I’m worried that my Jeep is squatted a little or something stupid.

Hello. I recently got a replacement 4.0 L for my 97 Wrangler. It will be delivered on Tuesday. What all do I need to replace along with the engine? I got some replacement motor mounts. Currently I have a transfer case drop kit to go with my 3.25 lift. It looks like my engine is sort of...

Hello. My wife’s 1995 4.0 YJ has a crack in the bracket that the power steering pulley/belt tensioner is attached to. I know this is the TJ forum and not the YJ forum, but I don’t have an account for the YJ forum and I figured you guys might now what to do. I can’t find a replacement part...

Hello. 97 Wrangler, 4.0L. I recently got a 1973 Yamaha DT250. It has a dry weight of 244 lbs. I also have a hitch carrier for dirt bikes, and I'd like to be able to transport my bike with my Jeep. I loaded it up last night and I heard some kind of knock. I got nervous and then unloaded it...

Hello. I’m from Georgia and I have a 97 Wrangler. The other day I noticed that my seatbelt light was coming on and off slowly while I was driving. I disconnected the cable under the driver seat, but it’s stilling flashing slowly intermittently. I don’t really have any idea what’s going on...

I have a pair of full soft doors and a pair of full doors. I live in Georgia and often have warm summers and rain. Which months would you recommend running the soft doors vs the full doors? March-September, then switch? Just looking for opinions. Do you prefer soft doors or full doors?

I want to see your builds! These are mine. The TJ: Rue, 97 Wrangler. 4.0 manual. Has tons of sentimental value. Never getting rid of this one. I plan to teach my grandkids how to drive on it! Never ever ever giving up on this little Jeep. The YJ: Stevie, 95 Wrangler. 4.0...

An evolution of my 97 Wrangler, Rue. This little Jeep used to be my mom’s until she quit driving it, then it was my dad’s, then I bought it off him for 5K in 2015. I inherited it with many problems, but it’s mine. I worked hard to fix it up and modify it to be my dream vehicle. She’s my first...

I know, I know. I just don’t have an account for the YJ thread, so I just posted it on my TJ account. It should be essentially the same though, right? Not much changed between 95 and 97 other than the headlights and coil springs.

Hey, guys! My girlfriend’s 95 YJ is leaking tranny fluid, and I’ve got no idea where to even start. It’s an automatic with a 4.0 L engine. Here are some pictures of the leak! It’s only been sitting overnight. Is there an obvious place this is coming from? I’ll take all the help I can get...

Hey guys! As you know all too well, every inch of interior storage of a wrangler is precious territory. Right now I’m trying to find a better way to make all of my tools and recovery gear fit, and I don’t know if I’m carrying stuff I don’t need. For example, I keep a thing of antifreeze in...

I have the Garvin Expedition roof rack for my TJ and frankly I love it. I was very very hesitant to purchase it because of the price, but I wouldn’t take it back for a second. It comes in handy all the time, and it keeps taking off the top easy and simple. I use it for firewood, for...

Today I folded down my windshield for giggles and went on a drive around town with my girl. It was the first time I’ve driven with the windshield down- and I loved it! It was a ton of fun. Anyways, we got stopped by the cops and the officer said it’s illegal to ride on the street with your...

This is a very superficial silly post, but I want your thoughts! Today I was putting my soft top back on, and to make the installation easier, I went ahead and removed my Garvin roof rack. It was the first time I’ve seen my Jeep without the rack on in a very long time- and I really like the...
