'99 RHD low mileage (65K) TJ with 31's. Slight slop in the steering (not awful but noticeable) so thought I would adjust the steering box as all the other parts of the steering foodchain seem OK and no obvious worn bushings etc. I cannot shift the lock nut on the steering box. It appears to...

Hi All, I've noticed my '99 3spd has been using more fuel (12mpg) lately (16mpg is normal) but I put it down to only doing very short runs. Took it out yesterday for a 300km round trip to the farm and noticed a couple of things: 1) Mileage was still poor - 14mpg 2) The aircon would switch...

So here is the story: I have a spare 32RH from a 2001 TJ in my back shed on standby for the day I might need it. A mate bought a TJ for a bit of fun but it looks like the previous owner has stiffed him and the 32RH in that is totally cooked. I've sold him my spare one for the price of a few...

Adding central locking to my '99 for convenience. I ordered a controller from eBay and a couple of actuators bought locally (a 2 wire slave and a 5 wire master). The controller is wired to the battery and the key fob seems to work and the controller clicks once for lock and twice for unlock...

Recently replaced the whole cooling system (radiator, hoses, water pump, thermostat + housing) after a burst hose on my '99 led to an overheat. It was all OG so put all new system in and flushed. The Jeep is running perfectly, oil looks good and the (green) coolant looks nice and clean but I...

Hi Guys, Just replaced the water pump, radiator and thermostat housing on my '99. I moved the coolant outlet tube (this is the hard line that goes from the water pump to the heater hoses) from the old pump onto the new one. I coated the threads with Loctite 561 on the recommendation of the...

Later this year I want to start building a 4.6L stroker. My current 4.0 (1999 TJ Auto) is in good condition (despite recent coolant issues!) and I want to have the new one built and ready to swap straight in so using my existing engine isn't an option. So if I'm going to find a donor engine to...

Hi Guys, '99 4.0L with 80,000 miles on the clock. Recently retrofitted factory aircon to it (which works a treat!) which meant the radiator was out which is when I done stuffed up! Did a long (500mile) drive yesterday in hot weather when the engine suddenly started making a loud ticking...

I've ordered some new seals for the outside of my late model TJ doors. The originals were dried out and were destroyed getting them out for painting. These are the seals that ride on the window as it goes up and down - held in place with 5 metal clips that slot into the door frame and the seal...

I have a '99 TJ with factory half doors. Found a set of '05 full doors that I am restoring and I ordered a set of cylinder locks for them as the previous owner had deleted the locks and installed a central locking thingy that's very broken. Unfortunately, I ordered the DL22 '99 cylinders...

Another in my ongoing inquiries to solve my quest of adding Aircon to a '99TJ RHD. I have a bit of a mixed bag of parts in my TJ with a condenser that is fitted with a pair of the PAD type connections, a liquid line that has PAD connections and other lines that use the push fit connectors...

Anyone know where I can get the tub side (male) connector only for an 03-06 hardtop? I can find plenty of 97-02 hardtop connectors and adapters but I want the later style. Photo of the corresponding Socket on my '04 hardtop for attention!

OK - dumb question of the day. '99 TJ without Aircon - this is part of my ongoing quest to retrofit AC (aka the Junkyard AC project). I've got two pressure switches in the system - one that sits between the compressor and the condensor as shown in red and one that sits on the input to the...

As per the title - have a late model hardtop on my '99 TJ so closing the doors when the windows are all up is a bit challenging sometimes as no vents in the hardtop or in the tailgate. Any thoughts on adding a simple vent to the tailgate? Struggling to find factory parts for it...

So with Summer just around the corner and 110F days here in Western Australia common I figured its time to install AC into my '99 Sport. I found a local Jeep wrecker who seems to know his stuff, I read up on the parts lists for the '99 and the Jeepair guides and went picking parts. So what I...

Just picked up a pair of full size doors to complete my Lego collection of TJ parts! They were in a rolled Jeep so have some cosmetic scratches on the exterior but given I have to repaint them anyway, all good. The interior, not so much. Both door cards are missing along with the window...

1999 TJ RHD Aussie Spec with no factory AC fitted. Finding it almost impossible to find a wrecked '99 for a donor AC system and the kits from other years definitely doesn't fit so went to Jeepair. They say their '99 kit won't fit a RHD vehicle? Anyone know what the issue would be? I've got a...

Finally got around to upgrading the interior light in my TJ to an LED and fixing the door switches so now the lights and warning sounds with the doors open all work perfectly! Question now is, has anyone installed a bypass switch so that I can disable these functions quickly and easily...

Hi Guys, today's project is installing some underfloor insulation. Removed the pax (left hand) side seat dead easy. Drivers side, not so much! Like all TJ's, it has 3 x M3 bolts and 1 x T50 Torx on the rear inner side. The two front bolts zipped out dead easy but for the life of me I cannot...

Bit of a different one here. Mate has a 2003 TJ factory fitted with air that has a failed compressor - something seized in it and stopped him getting home. He has lost all faith in the A/C and directed his mechanic to remove the entire A/C system. He's now done that and has removed all the...
