    Door Loop Repair (Rivet nut / Nutsert question)

    I'm needing advice on how to proceed with drilling and adding rivnuts/nutserts to get footman loops back on a pair of doors. Whoever previously owned them stripped or broke the original bolts for both doors' door strap loops. On the passenger door they drilled out new holes. The ones on the...

    Half Door Seal Template (Loan/Buy)

    I'm curious if anyone who bought the MOPAR half door seals still has their plastic "drill here" templates and would be willing to let them go or loan them out? If you're fine letting them go, my plan (after I've drilled my doors) is to share them on down the road with whoever needs them next...

    Bench-checking blower motor resistance

    Question for the sages: Does removing the blower motor and checking its ohms via multi-meter give any indication to the motor's serviceability? If so, is there some numerical value that would indicate this item is bad, time to replace? Background: My HVAC control plate is becoming warm to...

    Wells Vehicle Electronics (WVE) Multi-function Switch & Connector

    Like many others, my multi-function switch had begun to act up. My fog lights were not turning on by themselves, but if I was driving with the lights on and hit a good bump, I would get a long series of warning beeps. No engine light or anything else, just 10+ beeps. The first time it happened...

    Sanity check before I drop some money

    In December I experienced a flashing check engine light while driving. I replaced all 4 O2 sensors and those seemed to smooth everything out. That thread: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/check-engine-light-flashed-while-driving.67087/ Since then I've experienced two instances of hesitation...

    Thank You, OBD2 Scan Tool!

    I recently replaced all of my O2 sensors (Thread: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/check-engine-light-flashed-while-driving-recommendations.67087/) and felt like that had been successful. No new CELs, no rough idle, and no hesitation. However, at the time I didn't really watch any live data...

    Check engine light flashed while driving

    TLDR: I experienced a flashing CEL while accelerating this morning. This happened twice during the initial part (less than 4 miles) of my morning commute. It only occurred as RPMs went over 3,000. The Jeep felt as if starving for fuel but did not choke out. Weather was low 60s and heavy, dense...

    WTB: Back-end of PCM Connector

    I have a PCM connector where out of its four connecting tabs that hold the back piece to the actual 38-pin connector, the top two tabs have broken off. The result is that the whole of the connector looks like it is leaning down. It seems likes its still locked in place on the PCM but I don't...

    Planning Tie Rod (ZJ) Replacement; Question on Drag Bar

    I'm considering upgrading from the stock TJ track bar tie rod to the ZJ bar rod. I have several leaking or busted boots on these components and figured if I'd be taking things apart, I'd just upgrade the bar rod. (It helps that Rock Auto has a 10% sale on some Moog components as of this post)...

    DIY Leather Shift Boot

    My original shift boot had developed a couple of worn-through spots, so I decided I'd make my own replacement. I tried to document the process if you think you'd like to attempt the same. My LJ is a 2005, it comes with the unobtainium metal frame, so these notes will work for like-equipped...

    O'Reilly is currently running a rebate on a couple brands of spark plugs. If you are looking for some AutoLite Iridium XPs, here's a chance to get some and receive a $3 mail-in rebate PER PLUG.

    MORryde Ammo Can Tray in an LJ?

    In a recent thread on adding fuel can carriers (https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/gas-cans-auxiliary-fuel-container.58980/) @jscherb recently posted pictures of MORryde's fuel can side-mounts and because those looked so cool, it got me started looking through MORryde's catalog. Now I'm...

    Replacing Wiring Connector

    When working with the hood up I'm not a fan of the under-hood light being on the whole time; especially when I'm in the garage with good lighting. The easiest fix would be to to disconnect the light, but what if your connector is not working as it should? My original connector was brittle with...

    What goes here, and what size bolts did it use?

    I'm wanting to fix a flat surface over my left front fender/shock tower to mount a reel light. (Access to the top of the shock will stay unobstructed.) I'd like to use some combination of these existing holes, mostly the two with rectangular borders, maybe one of the others. I'm having a hard...

    Washer Fluid Bottle Cap (Replacement Options)

    The foam seal/gasket on the washer fill cap is showing its age; shrunken and brittle. It no longer seals and I'm finding fluid splash out on the fender. I figured it would be an easy part to replace since it just snaps off the bottle, but evidently not. I've yet to find a TJ-specific...

    Metal in oil during routine maintenance

    TLDR: I discovered metal flakes in my oil during a routine change; not chunks or shards, more like glitter. Engine has no noticeable abnormal knocking or dieseling while running, and idles very smoothly. Oil pressure gauge (no numbers, just dots) sits just above mid-line at idle, pressure...

    Cargo Area "Secured" Duffel Bag DIY

    I recently bought a Clover Leaf Roll for my LJ and quickly realized I didn't want to throw the thing in the cargo area and have it just roll around back there. I figured at some point, I'd be in a hurry and I'd open the rear door and the roll would fall out into a puddle or something; so I...

    Nice Tray for Center Console Storage

    I didn't know these things existed, but when I saw it, I knew I wanted one. Jeep TJ Center Console Storage Tray Storage in these Jeeps is a thing, but this totally helps with little items, that when dropped on their own into the center console, its like a whale swallowing a Tic Tac. Items like...

    Now it sounds like my Jeep

    My first Jeep was my uncle's 1948 CJ-2A that he kept at my parent's house. He lived out of state and it was there for mostly hunting season or when he came to visit, which was basically only fall hunting season. When I got my license, my dad got tired of me borrowing his or my mom's car all the...

    WTB: Horn Bracket (Or Busted Horn with Bracket)

    I'm seeking a horn bracket, just the metal bracket. I don't need a working horn. The yellow highlighted part is all I need. If you decide to throw in the mounting bolt, that's cool too. I have zero problems paying for shipping. Thanks.
