    Windshield mount bolt issues.

    I’m trying to remove old side mirror mount (extra mirrors to use when the doors are off) and this bolt just spins. I put a screw driver behind it to try and leverage it out, but it still just spins. Is there a sleeve or collar behind this like the transfer case mounts? Ideas?

    Hard top vs. soft top (or to switch or not to switch?)

    I've found a couple of threads asking for advice on HOW to switch from one to the other, but I'd like to hear from folks who HAVE switched. Which did you have first, and do you regret your decision? Living in central CA, I keep the soft top up most of the summer due to the excessive heat...

    How do I wire a soundbar dome light to the door switch?

    I ended up using vampire clips to tie in to the driver side courtesy light. Works fine.

    How do I wire a soundbar dome light to the door switch?

    Okay, I got the switch out and found a diagram. Can I splice wires together? Red = pink and black = yellow on the soundbar plug.

    How do I wire a soundbar dome light to the door switch?

    So I added a soundbar to my '97 TJ Sport, which never had one. I'd like to wire the soundbar to the door switch, but can't find a "how-to" anywhere. I ran wires from the plug, and I know it's the pink & yellow that are for the light. Any help would be appreciated. Also... how do you get the...

    How to connect wiring to soundbar plug?

    Thanks for the link to the correct crimping tool. I had a question about where to strip and crimp, but I see the tool shows how to do that. Does anyone have a source for automotive speaker wire? I can't find it on amazon, I thinking of 16-18 ga dual strand, dual color. It would be great if...

    How to connect wiring to soundbar plug?

    I bought a stock soundbar for my '97 which never had one and found the connector on amazon. Can someone point me to a video on how to connect the wires to it? I found the wire order on the forum, but not sure how of the rest. How far back to I strip the wires and should this be soldered?

    DIY Overhead Radio Mount

    I looked at the ARR mount, and it is REALLY simple which I like. However, it's currently $70 for the mount, and $15 for shipping. I made mine for about $20.

    DIY Overhead Radio Mount

    .... ummm.... that's the part I haven't figured out yet. I may wrap the cord around the bracket to shorten it up and put the mic clip on the underside, that way it's close to my head and I don't need a longer cord... but, I have to figure out the specifics. I also have VERY crazy and over...

    DIY Overhead Radio Mount

    I got this idea from another member who I'd really like to give credit to, but I can't find the thread. Simple mount made of 48" black shelf track, 1 5/8" chainlink fence bracket and 5/16 fasteners.

    Routine maintenance before installing swapped axles?

    I bought a pair of complete axles (Dana 30/Dana 35 super; both with new chromoly shafts and locker (35) /LSD (30)) from a forum member who has written up their rig on this sight. Our vehicles are only a year apart and should be a straight swap. He had the axles built only a couple of years ago...

    SOLD Complete axle setup

    I own a '97 Sport with the same axles (low pinion). Are the Dana 30 & Dana 35 the same year to year? I'm just trying to avoid the dreaded, "oh THAT year, yeah, those don't fit, they used different blah, blah, blah..." Also, I notice the front doesn't include brakes, correct? Or am I just not seeing...

    SOLD Complete axle setup

    WOW.... I'm looking to build this exact set, with the exception of running a Detroit Locker (rather than TruTrak) in the front. I may be very interested in this. Did you set these up or did you have them done at a shop?

    Go Pro dash mounts...

    I figured this is probably the best thread to ask this question on. Does anyone have a recommendation for a Dash mounted camera - Go Pro style - or are the other brands/options (read "cheaper") that folks like? Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.
