    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?

    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?

    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 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...

    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.

    Dana Super 35 with Detroit locker: Did you have to adapt or is there a way to install the clips?

    I have a local shop working up a quote to upgrade my Dana 35 to a Super 35 w/ 30 spline chromoly axles and a Detroit locker. However.... I need a c-clip... He says I need to adapt the ends for a bolt in, because how do you install a c-clip on the Detroits, which are completely enclosed units...

    04 hardtop on a 97?

    Will a hardtop off an ‘04 fit on my ‘97 Sport that I believe came originally (my vehicle specifically I mean) with a soft top? It has a rear window wiper so I’ll have to wire that which is fine, none of my dash switches over the cigarette lighter are used. Other things I should be aware of or...
