    No start after "cold" start.

    So my 97 TJ usually starts right up on what I call a "cold" start. Cold meaning I haven't cranked it in atleast a few hours ish. Zero issues. But once I have cranked it like this then turn it off I most likely will have to put the gas pedal to the floor and crank. Without pushing the gas wide...

    Can send a picture of their stock hood spring and latch devices?

    Thanks for the pictures, I have the old hood latch that's on the grill. But I don't have the spring or hood prop.

    Can send a picture of their stock hood spring and latch devices?

    Thanks, yes saw that but I do have the lower latch style. My main question really revolves around the pop up spring. I don't have one and I don't have an indent area like the above poster. Would like to know if it originally had the pop up spring or any other equipment... just feels like I'm...

    Can send a picture of their stock hood spring and latch devices?

    Ok Brother's and Sister's, I need your help, I cannot find a straight image or answer so I'm hoping someone can send a picture of their stock hood spring and latch devices. I've attached what I'm working with. From what I can piece together I can get a spring that screws in place but I don't...

    Body lift bolt appears to big for hole

    That's my guess, doesn't look like it's been changed, but with so many years in between built and now no telling what someone put her though.

    Body lift bolt appears to big for hole

    Yeah, I have 4 of the same length and one about a half inch longer (front grill bolt). I haven't done anything with the other mount, yesterday just had a little time to do the one that was missing but the bolt is too big. Makes no since, right now I'm unfortunately going to trial and error, get...

    Body lift bolt appears to big for hole

    Hi everyone, My body lift and stock mounts were wore out so I grabbed a 1" Daystar BL to replace both. So my issue is...my TJ was missing the grill BL mount when I bought it, rookie mistake but I love her and glad I saved her. Sorry tangent, I was putting the front mount from the Daystar kit on...

    Axle adjustment and general questions.

    It's not a bad ride drove it home 4 hours no issues when I got it. A little sway in the steering but nothing crazy. I'll have to look for a rear sway bar, wasn't thinking about that lol.

    Axle adjustment and general questions.

    Thanks for the reply, I was definitely thinking rear control arms. I just started researching the pinion angles, I think I get the gist of that. Do I need both adjustable uppers and lowers? Now I haven't done much research on the rear track bar. Would a relocation mount need to be welded? I...

    Axle adjustment and general questions.

    Good Day! I recently got my first Jeep, 1997 Wrangler! Dream come true finally, now I need to give it some well deserved TLC. I've been doing little things like fixing blinkers, lights, fluids and such. Along the way I've noticed some things that I need advice on. I've attached a diagram and...
