    Roof Rack Pros vs Cons

    I’m looking into getting a roof rack for transporting cargo when we go on vacation this summer. I have a total of three people that will be in the TJ so removing the back seat is out of the question, although I have thought about purchasing a single bucket seat and fabricating a way to set the...

    Cam sprocket in relation to distributor question

    As some of you know I’ve been working on installing my rebuilt engine. I’ve been having issues getting it started after the install. After looking over everything I pulled my distributor to double check it was installed correctly. When I went to put it back it seems like no matter what I try...

    Different alternators for different years?

    I’m about to swap my engine out for the one I’ve been rebuilding for a few months now. My question is that I have two different alternators. One from a 97 ( my original) and one from a 00 model.

    2.5l block codes

    Any engine builders in the group? When I was looking at my old block today before painting I noticed on the drivers side of each cylinder a single letter stamped into the block. Cylinder 1-3 has a C and cylinder 4 has a B. The FSM shows that the stamp is supposed to be located by the oil filter...

    Crate engine sourcing

    I’ve been looking into replacing my 2.5l engine for a remanufactured engine. Found a few different online stores that sell them with decent warranties. I was wondering if anyone had any input as to good companies to buy from. A couple grand is a big investment and I don’t want it to be money...

    No start after reassembly, is it the starter motor?

    Hey guys I’ve been trying to get my 97 2.5 to start after reassembling the motor. The solenoid got hot to the touch after hooking up the battery cables. I didn’t realize it for a few minutes while I was trying to start the Jeep. I took it off and made sure it was functional by directly hooking...

    Rear Body Mounts

    Does anyone have a good way to get the two rear body mount bolts out when they just spin? I have cut a small hole to access the threaded end of the bolt and hosed them both down with some penetrating oil. I’m thinking about trying to weld the metal with the threads in it to the tub if I can get...
