    Chasing a Dead Short

    On my 98 with a 2.5 I have a short that is blowing the 10A number 17 fuse in the under hood PDC. The fuse blows as soon as it's inserted. No new work was done on it. It's mainly for beach driving and sits for weeks sometimes. I pulled the stereo and gauge cluster after hearing that they are...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I started dealing with my horribly misaligned doors that I occasionally put on for windy days in the surf. They have been getting regular shots of PB Blaster the last couple days, which did zero good on the sh!tty screws that were on the ugly chrome hinges. I hit them with the propane torch...

    Gambler Rims Questions and Suggestions

    I know this is a relatively ancient post, but first off those wheels look awesome. Secondly, I take it the rivets are purely ornamental? I have a set and I like them, but the rivets are starting to pop off which scared me a bit. Mine have unfortunately been sprayed with bed liner by a PO. I may...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I continued on my slow march of taking care of maintenance items that are an unknown amount of time past due. Today was resealing and changing lube in both axles. Gotta love that awesome smell. Not a large item, but another minor box ticked.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    No working on it today. Did a little beach driving to the end of the island. Too cloudy to really catch the sunset, but still an awesome time.

    2.5 Stroker

    I realize their site is going through revisions, but that has to be the most bare bones product description I've ever seen. I'm curious about it myself for potential future needs.

    "When logic fails, force prevails," has been my go-to for years.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I finished cleaning various ground points, got rid of some wires to nowhere from a previous owner and put on a couple nice fat new battery cables (2 awg) and actually took it for a short drive for the first time in a couple weeks. Looks like maybe some beach wheeling in the next couple days.

    Farm Jack Storage

    I love the modified Pittsburgh aluminum jacks. When I took a break from Jeeps and owned a Raptor it seemed like everyone (but me) had one on an aluminum skid plate and in a quick disconnect cradle. My unmodified one is my go-to at home.

    1997 TJ won't Crank

    I recently used this thread as a guide for a similar situation. Unfortunately, I was chasing every little thing rather than checking in a methodical way. It helped immensely.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Thanks. It's not original, but I think your right. As I was looking at things I decided replacement was in order even after the points of contact were clean. This started out as figuring out why it wouldn't even crank.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I'm inclined to think you're correct and I appreciate hearing some reinforcement. Regardless, I just bought it this fall and some cleaning of connections was in order. I put on more beach miles than road miles this time of year.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Spent the afternoon chasing a bad ground that gives me a no start situation. With a jumper cable from the negative battery clamp to the starter body it will fire right off. Without it, I've got nothing. Not there yet, but tomorrow is another day.
