Has anyone found a solution that’s made for our TJ gen for Pre-runner style grille lights? I see lots of kits made for JK/JL because they have that honeycomb webbing behind the grille slots and it makes for a pretty easy install. Wondering if there is a kit made for us and, if not, if anyone...

Hey gang, 65th Anniversary Ed. with a set of 3 bumper-mounted halogen KC HiLites the PO added. I've had the Jeep a little over a year and they haven't ever worked. It's bothered me for long enough now I'm trying to figure it out. So, here's what I've done so far: Checked the bulbs--all...

I have seen several posts and videos describing the led bulb hyper flash issue and the column relay fix. I don’t think my problem is the same issue, but looking for the forum to validate. Backstory: I had a passenger brake light out causing a hyper flash sequence on just the passenger side so I...

Without going full exterior cage for overlanding, is there a good option for a hard top roof rack without modifying the hard top? I like the idea of adding rails or a basket for extra storage on trips, but I would rather not drill into a virgin factory hard top in pristine condition. Thoughts...

My first TJ bought almost a year ago was a complete disaster. Chalking it up to my own ignorance and not throwing the baby out with the bath water, I’m giving it another go. After selling the 1998 SE 2.5, I took a couple of weeks to assess what the market offered. Here’s what I found. It’s a...

Several months ago I swapped a set of 35/12.50/15 M/Ts for 33/11.50/17 A/Ts. With a reinforced carrier, the 35/12.50/15 M/T mounted without issue (weight and tax on the tailgate aside). Now that I have removed the 3" body lift and without the deep-dish backspacing of the previous 15" wheel, I...

In January I bought my first TJ and paid too much for it... there, said it. It's a 2.5L with 85k original miles and no rust, so I got excited and overlooked too many other things. That said, the PO told me the ring/pinion in the front diff was missing and the transfer case was disconnected...

98 SE 2.5L 5spd with 85,000 miles. Since purchasing in January I have removed 35”/12.50” MT’s and 3” of body lift. It now has 33”/11.50” stock JK sports and 4” of suspension lift. I have replaced the tie rod, drag link, stabilizer, and sway bar links. It’s also had two alignments along the way...

I started my TJ “adventure” 8 months ago with a 1998 SE 2.5 that needed rehabilitating. Along the way, I learned a lot about what to look for and how to fix what I can’t live with. I sold it on Saturday for less than I should have, but my wife and I agreed we needed one that was more highway...

A few weeks ago I removed a 3" body-lift from my 98 SE. The shifter wasn't smooth by any stretch pre-BL removal, but now I am regularly striking the center dash shroud when I shift into 1st or 3rd gear. To belabor the point, the repainted center bezel around the climate control is now chipping...

After 6 months of 7” lift/35” MT hell, I’ve downsized to a 33” AT Ko2 and have removed 3” body lift. Progress! During the BL removal, the local off-road shop indicated that the front axle bushing was spent and that the transfer case was disconnected when they pulled the lift. They reconnected...

Most I have seen are pole-mounted to the gate, bumper, or hitch. I’m interested in spanning mine across the sport bars. I just changed mine out for my front porch and I’ll be using the old one. Show me how you’re flying yours tomorrow!

I bought my 1998 TJ about 5 months ago in a non-running condition and have been steadily making improvements to make it sea-worthy once more. The PO left the top off of the Jeep for a good long time (can't say exactly how long) in a carport, so it's had perhaps even more weather exposure than a...

I need some help from anyone who would be willing to give it in the West TN/KY/North MS/East AR (Memphis Mississippi Delta) region. I have a 3” body lift on my 1998 SE. This Jeep has never been outside of TN and north MS according to the CARFAX. The only shop I can find in Jackson, TN who will...

First, let me say I think with enough time and patience I could remove the 3" body lift on my 1998 SE on my own. I have NEITHER the time, nor the patience (and I have two jobs and 3 kids under 10) so I need to find someone who can remove this in exchange for a portion of my bank account. My...

I'm dealing with some rough idle/misfire that seems to be related to heat soak from what I'm reading. Here in TN it's between 65-80 degrees right now so pretty idyllic operating conditions. However if I run the Jeep for let's say 10-15 minutes to the grocery store, jump out and grab some items...

As far as I can tell, Bedrug comes in one color. Like the attributes and reviews but wondering how that grey/charcoal is going to look with the saddle interior and seats? Does anyone have this setup and like it? Share pics if you don’t mind.

I'm not a fan of corner armor. Let me start over. I'm not a fan of things on vehicles that don't serve a purpose for me. I don't plan to trail-run my Jeep, which is why I'm lowering it, downsizing tires, getting full doors, removing the grille guard, roll cage, etc. I can certainly see the...

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been contending with a rough idle and no acceleration (no acceleration = if I even slightly tap the throttle it threatens to die). Here’s a video to help describe what it’s doing (the CEL is due to my unplugging the upstream O2 while I’ve been experimenting)...

There is a possibility I'll need to replace my throttle position sensor. Not a huge price gamut but enough to ask the question. I know NGK/NTK is the preferred component for plugs and o2 sensors. How about TPS? Looks like Duralast comes in around $25, Standard ignition at $55, NTK at $62...
