    A/C Continuous Loud Noise

    My TJ has developed a VERY loud noise when the A/C is on. Coming from the engine bay. Sounds like a fog horn, definitely not high pitched whine or metal on metal sound. More of a lower frequency. I checked the horn, it's that loud, but that's not it. It's been hot, 90's, so the A/C has been...

    Kill Switch Fuse

    I've read many posts here about kill switches (I don't have a SKIM key) and I'm focussing on one option. Keeping it simple, I'm planning to remove a fuse and replace it with a two wire breakout, a switch, and an inline fuse with the switch hidden in the cab. I'd prefer to use a fuse located...

    Parking Brake Warning Light

    The Parking Brake Warning Light on my 2005 TJ, 6 speed manual, 4.0L, does not illuminate when the parking brake is engaged. I've scoured this forum and can't find a similar problem/fix.

    Water Leaks Into Cab

    My 2005 TJ two door with hard top leaks under the passenger seat next to the Jack handle tie dow. I’ve found the leak point into the cab, but can’t find the exterior source. The door is tight and shows no signs of water inside the seal. The photos show the entry point. I need to do some...

    Engine Bay Storage?

    I got my rig six months ago, 2005 Wrangler SE 2 Door. I’m curious what should go in this area of the engine bay? I didn’t get the bottle Jack with the TJ, is this where it’s kept? Thanks!

    Identify body port and nuts

    My 2005 TJ has this large, 1” diameter “port?” at the bottom front of both body side panels. It was covered by a plastic film. It looks OEM, what is it for? Should it remain open or is there a plug I’m missing? Also there are two inside threaded nuts to the rear of the large port. Are these...

    Wiring cleanup

    I'd like to clean up all the accessory wires coming directly off the battery of my 2005 TJ. Any recommendations on a simple, non-fused terminal strip or similar? All the existing wires are low current, with the exception of the winch which will remain on the battery terminals.

    2005 TJ Rear Seat

    My rear seat folds down but when I try to tumble it forward it hits the center console and won’t go vertical. I think it’s the OEM console. Did I install the floor brackets incorrectly? I have the double spindle bracket in front and the single in back. Anything I can do?
