Recently started hearing a scraping metal sound that sounds like a wire brush scraping on sheet metal, its not a grinding sound, its very light but rhythmic like something spinning. It sounds like its coming from the transmission area. Any thoughts on what this could be? I have a video but it...

Hey guys, so I wanted to upgrade my suspension (was thinking of the H&R + Rancho combo) but as I took a closer look I've now realized that that my rear upper coil spring mounts on both sides are pretty rusted. When I boutht the jeep a few years ago, the first thing I looked for was rust (thanks...

Hey guys, I've been driving my BFG K02's for a while now but haven't been impressed by their wet weather and ice/packed snow performance. I have been turned on to the Falken Wildpeak AT3W and they look to be superior in these conditions. My question is, I currently have size 30x9.5x15 tires...

it's been below freezing here (vancouver doesn't usually get so cold) but its been giving me problems with my jeep's door locks. both doors seize up and won't unlock. Passenger side door key turns but does nothing. driver's side key wouldn't even turn, felt like key did nothing in the mechanism...

Hey guys, so I just went out to start the jeep (park it on the street) and when I turned the ignition the engine hesitated and sputtered out...I tried again and it struggled to turn but eventually engine turned and stayed running. Then I noticed something odd. A small piece of wire underneath my...

First off, forgive me for my lack of mechanical knowledge. This jeep is my first vehicle and I never had much time learning about cars until recently, mainly from this forum. Recently I have started to hear a sound coming from what seems to be the wheels, most prominently the drivers side...

So I'm looking to replace my suspension. I bought the jeep 2 years ago its a 97 (later year release) and pretty much stock. I don't think the suspension has ever been changed and it's in need of a refresh. I've done some digging around and I'm thinking about going with the Rancho shocks and...

A few weeks ago my Jeep was in a minor fender bender (wasn't my fault and insurance is covering 100% of damage) Front passenger side fender needs to be replaced. I took it to a body shop and they gave me a quote for an aftermarket fender...I would prefer an original part but they couldn't find...

Does anyone have any suggestions for good fender replacement brands? I'd prefer MOPAR. I've heard that they are the most expensive but I can't even find them. I've called around to a few wreckers and they don't have any. Is it really worth it to track down MOPAR or are there other good brands...

Been tracking a rainwater leak entering passenger footwell and I think I found the source. Foam gasket where cabin air assembly meets back panel if the footwell seems to get saturated and leak down. What’s the best way to stop water from entering here?

On a cold start I'm hearing a trickling water sound behind passenger dash, could it be the heater core? I've been trying to track down the source of a leak recently on my passenger floor. Pulled the carpets and drain plugs. Removed cowl and cleared drain. Thought I got it sorted after that...

Does anyone know what this is? Part of the radiator?

Ok so I'm running the gamut of new owner TJ issues it seems and the next one up is the mystery water leak on the floor pans. I know it's a super common issue so I made sure to scour the previous threads for fixes but I just can't seem to solve it, though I have some ideas. Here's the...

New TJ owner here. After some research I decided to put some new tires on my Jeep. I decided 30" would be best given my gearing ratio and not wanting to risk the tires rubbing with 31's. So I purchased and had them mounted and I'm noticing now that they DO in fact rub at full lock or on side...

Anyone know if there's a difference between "Flotation" tires and regular All Terrain tires within the same brand/model? Seems I can only get the sizes I need if they are flotation tires whereas most other sizes do not have this distinction...Seem to be more $$$ too... For instance:

First of all, let me just say a huge THANK YOU to Chris and all the members that have made this forum the incredible resource that it is. I have learned more in these last few months of research through this forum than anywhere else hands down and now I can say that I am a proud new owner of a...
