On the 01 TJ (4.0/5-speed) I have that I took to my camp, I noticed that this weekend it seemed to take a long time to come up to close to operating temp and really didn’t seem like it was running as warm as it typically would (maybe around 200 on the gauge). It seems like the thermostat is...

I have been chasing rain leaks on a 2001 I picked up a while back. I thought I had successfully fixed the drivers side leak that was accumulating in the floor mat. After some water tests and tracing water, it appeared I was having an issue with the windshield to cowling seal. I went through the...

I have seen some threads where some people have put JK seats in TJs as replacement options. Had anyone done (or seen info on) JLU seats being put into a TJ? First will they fit in the space and second, how much bracket modification?

I wasn’t paying attention when taking down my windshield to replace the windshield/cowling seal and didn’t remove the plastic molding trim pieces on both sides of the windshield (run from the top corner of windshield to bottom). They slightly overlap the roll bar pieces that attach to the...

Was checking under hood earlier and noticed that I had lost my coolant overflow cap and the old yellow label around the neck of bottle. I know it was on a couple days ago (pic below for reference). Granted the cap was old and brittle and was also broken apart from the yellow plastic ring that...

As I’m researching leaks and potential seal replacements, I noticed a dofference in the ends of the windshield to cowl seal between my 2001 TJ and 2006 LJ. In looking at replacement seals, they are all listed for 97-06 models. The pic below shows the difference I’m talking about (the mildewed...

I’ve been working on various fix ups on my recently acquired TJ. I have had 7 or 8 of these over the years (still have an LJ now) so I have worked on various rain leaks in the past. But it’s always a struggle it seems. My current TJ leaks rain on both door openings. The passenger side looked to...

I have read several of the write ups on wiring in the HT defroster and wiper if your TJ didn’t come with the factory wiring (with procuring a TJ rear wiring harness made for a HT model and a front harness made to use for the switches). I really only need the defrost on occasion for this Jeep...

I have been going through several repairs and to do’s on the TJ I picked up a couple weeks ago. It has a rear glass leak on the hard top. I can see water residue lines coming down the inside of the glass from the top. I tried the trick of adding a piece of split fuel across the top of the rear...

While I was at the pull a part this morning getting a few small things out of a Cherokee, one of them still had the rear defrost and wiper switches in the dash. It was a quick and easy removal so I bought them just in case I want to wire up the hard top controls on my TJ (it was put on...

I need to replace the connector that goes into the blower motor resistor as mine has partially melted (2001 model). I haven’t run across a direct replacement available but may not have over looked some sourcing options. Would prefer to buy one already made up.

After draining the radiator a couple times in last few days for coolant change/thermo/new cap, then replacing water pump, I noticed yesterday that I had a drip from my petcock. Had a little coolant directly under it yesterday morning. I was able to snug it a little more by hand and it almost...

I picked up an 01 TJ 4.0 from a friend of mine to mess with. It had not been used much in the last year or so. I had several items to sort through. When I got it, the CEL came on with a P0123 code (TPS). The Jeep also had intermittent noticeable bucking when riding around town in 2nd or 3rd...

I picked up an 01 TJ to mess around with. The sides of the factory front seats have the vinyl strip around the door facing portion and have tears/cracks in them. The drivers side is to the point where it will need to have that vinyl strip replaced. The passenger side has a single crack/opening...

To make a long story short - I am pretty certain that the Thermostat in my 01 is stuck open (running cool all time and receipt from prior shop install says it has a Napa Safe T stat 195 in it). I have read all the info on preferred thermostats for the 4.0 TJ. However, I sort of need to fix today...

I know there are various threads on similar topic and I have replaced both the fan switch and resistor in past TJs for similar issues. This one is a little unique to me but I’m sure caused by one of the two items. The TJ I just picked up (2001, 6 cyl) is not blowing on setting 3 of the fan motor...

I am doing a little cosmetic fix up on another TJ I picked. The previous owner had removed the carpet but I wanted to put some back in. Picked up a decent used set and cleaned/pressure washed them. I noted the rear fender well pieces are missing the Velcro pieces that attach to the opposite side...

I know there is lots of info on shudders/shakes in the TJs. Thought I would see if anyone has gone through same evaluation as I am. I picked up an 01 TJ, 6 cyl, 5-speed, 118k miles to tinker with. It has an old spacer lift of approx 2-3” and no transfer case drop (and axles do not appear to be...

While I have been trying to diagnose various items on a new to me project Jeep (01, 6cyl, 5 speed), one of which is a possible bad clock spring. I have several symptoms that indicate that may the case. While trying to source a part, I was working on some other items and realized there may be...

I am working on a 2001 TJ, 6 cyl WITH cruise control that I picked up to tinker with. It has what I believe to be a clock spring issue (airbag light on, horn not working, check engine light on for TPS). I have searched around and found that the Mopar clock springs are discontinued for this...
