    So I was jacking up the side of the tub and...

    OK I need some help. I took out the six side body mount bolts to install new sliders. I need to jack up the side of the tub. I did that and inserted the sliders where they belong, and then lowered the tub down on each side perspectively as I went. Somehow now the tub is canted up in the front...

    Taillight gaskets: are these necessary?

    Not much on the forum here about taillight gaskets. I bought replacement splash guards from the same company. When I was just posting those in another thread, I noticed these. I happened to have my taillights off in the last month and there is no such gasket. I supposed it can’t hurt, but...

    Picture Request: Masticated Rubber Splash Guard Front Wheels

    Can someone send me a pic of their front wheel wells showing the OEM splash guards installed? I should have taken pictures but I ASSumed it would be obvious and simple how they go in. I see where many of the holes line up, but where I am inserting it, it doesn't seat far down. I'm sure it will...

    Greaseable Johnnie Joint Bolt

    Anyone have any experience with these? I'm replacing the control arms with adjustable ones. I've read you don't need the adjustable factory bolt and these are supposedly better. Any personal feedback? Do you literally use 2 per control arm or just in specific spots, like replacing the...

    Getting around to taking the rear suspension apart and these are the rear spacers the PO had installed. First of all they don't like any rear coil spacers I've ever seen. Usually the spacer is large enough for the coil to sit on (up top of course)? They look Like they slipped into the top...

    Help Identifying Plugs

    I just reinstalled my grill after replacing my fenders doing a lot of other stuff. I reran the wiring harness and reassembled everything onto the bumpers. I took some pics to see how everything was connected and installed but failed to capture these plugs. I do not have AC. In the pic you...

    Anyone know what this is?

    Question 1. What is this? This is some type of heavy tar-like tape inside the fender I'm about to repaint. The fenders I removed didn't have it. Question 2. Any ideas why these fenders have holes here, the ones I removed also did not. That hole is just forward of the hood latches. TIA

    Anything I should replace while the grille is removed?

    So, I had to remove the front grill to give me enough space to drill out a couple of broken bolts. I'm wondering what everyone would advise I replace, if anything, while I have the front end torn apart. It has a new radiator already. One obvious thing was the rubber body mount spacer things...

    Maybe a stupid question - front bump stop "bell" stopper?

    Just in the process of rehabing my new to me TJ. Today I took off the bump stop cups and lift extensions. The actual bells were/are full of dirt. Its just another terrible design element. I am continually surprised by what I find. Has anyone fab’d anything to stick in the top of the bell to...

    Backup Lights Wired to Dash Switch?

    So I picked up a project 2003 Wrangler X. As I'm working through stuff to fix I find that the reverse lights have been wired to a manual dash switch. I did look and there is a backup switch installed in the side of the transmission. The plug is still on it. I assume the switch went bad and...
