    Whirring sound at low speeds

    Hey all. So I’ve got a little bit of a sound coming from my 97 TJ 2.5. It’s a rhythmic whir sound that only happens between 25-30 mph and can’t hear it much as I speed up.

    Dead gauges and footwell problem

    Motor mount question

    Been in the process of taking off a body lift over the past couple days and ran into another problem. I finally got it dropped and gave it the first crank and heard a horrible grinding noise.

    I’m just gonna turn this into a journal of sorts for anyone who might take their own adventure into removing a 3 inch body lift. It might save someone some time. So I got all the pucks off. The passenger side was quite difficult to get lined up. PO had done something to cause the tub to lean...

    Body lift removal roadblocks

    Alright guys I need a little help. Picked up my first TJ a couple weeks back. 97 2.5. Anyhoo it’s got a horrible 3 inch body lift. Yes it is 3 inches. Got it for a great deal and thought it was a good foundation to have my way with it. So I noticed it had a hard start. Had to prime 3-4 times to...
