    Absolutely the coolest "doors-off" mirrors on the planet!

    You're a good sales man. They are sold out for the TJ. Bit on the pricey side though. $175 for the handles and an additional $100 for the mirrors. I do like the design though. My wife would appreciate the grab handle.

    Crazy hot inside my cab

    Thanks for the replies. I thought about the cats, but there seems to be a pretty good air gap between them and the firewall. I guess they do get pretty hot. I have some dynamat that I'll try on the floor and see how that works.

    Crazy hot inside my cab

    I have an 02 TJ with the 4.0L 5 speed. After I drive for about 30 minutes or so, there is a crazy amount of heat that comes from the firewall beneath the dash and the trans tunnel. It's not coming from the vent system, seems to be radiating from the floor boards and trans tunnel. Shifter gets...

    How do I remove the doors on my TJ?

    You can check this link if it's stuck https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/doors-stuck-on-wont-come-off.24681/ I also saw somewhere that people have used a jack to push them out of the hinges. Might want to youtube that one. Seems like you can do a lot of damage to the door that way.

    Full doors from 2004 TJ don’t fit my 1999 TJ

    In my opinion, using the word square to describe the YJ lights is far less offensive than putting non-round lights on a Jeep. Can't imagine what they were thinking when they did that. Thankfully it didn't last long.

    Having trouble removing NV3550 transmission from engine on 2004 TJ 4,0

    Did you take the starter off? My son had his engine and trans out of the car and couldn't get them apart. He ruined my deadblow hammer beating on the transmission. After about 20 minutes, I stopped what I was doing and walked over to help. As I started to remove the starter bolts, the...

    TJ won't start after sitting for a long time

    I'm pretty sure you have to ground the plug to get the spark. Have your wife hold the end.

    Evap canister vacuum line broke

    Hey, I'm not sure exactly which line that is, as I'm not as smart as the others on this forum, but there are vapor and fuel lines on the website below. I usually go here and find the part number. Then search for a cheaper source for the part. If you can't find it elsewhere, these guys are pretty...

    Evap canister vacuum line broke

    I had a broken vacuum line on my wife's friend's car. I put some heat shrink tubing over the break and shrunk it down. Worked a treat. She noticed the engine performance change. Wouldn't have tried it in my car, but it seems to work. From the photo, looks like it broke in one place and a good...

    Front drive train noise

    Thanks guys, as I was typing my question, I realized I never did try it in 4WD. I'll do that this evening. I used NAPA bearings and u-joints in the pieces I replaced.

    Front drive train noise

    Hey folks, just looking for a sanity check on this. I have a 2002, 4.0L, 5sp Wrangler with a clanking noise in the front axle. The noise is definitely associated with the axle/wheel rotation. Frequency changes with speed. Seems to go away over 30 mph. I changed the u-joints for a different...

    Bestop twill top giant logo

    Black sharpie should take care of that.

    Does this stab link look right?

    I replaced both sides and they look similar. The quick release ones were completely used up. Replaced them with stock links. The Moog links were the same size as the ones I pulled off the jeep.

    Does this stab link look right?

    Hey folks, I'm pretty new to the Jeep stuff, but fairly handy around cars in general. I recently purchased an '02 manual TJ, 4L, with the Old Man Emu 2" HD lift. I just replaced the front stabilizer bar link and it looks kinda weird to me, see the picture below. I used a Moog stab link which...

    How do I change my pinion angle with adjustable control arms?

    Are you referring to axle wrap? Just kidding. Saw an interesting discussion on here recently about that.

    Blown 4.0 engine: Any suggestions on crate replacements?

    How about something like this? Maybe you meant something different by blown motor. Question about the Jasper engines. Can you buy them from Jasper or do you have to get them installed by an authorized supplier? I think the warranty only applies if one of their people install it. Anyone know the...

    Halo lights are permanently on after installing new head unit

    I don't think it's a ground problem. If the lights are on all the time it's a B+ problem. When you tapped into the battery voltage line for the radio, you must have crossed that over to the lighting circuit. I would trace the lighting circuit and look for any extraneous connections or splices...
