    Anyone use BedRug carpet?

    Just wanted to add a little info for anyone considering Bedrug. My 97 TJ has sound deadening and carpet on the rocker panels and I tore it out not realizing that Bedrug kits do not contain rocker panel carpet. I ended up ordering replacement rocker panel carpet from ACC.

    Full Door Panel Compatibility 97-06?

    I would think this has been asked before but I couldn’t find a thread on it. Does anyone know if panels for full doors are compatible with all years or are some year specific? In other words, do 2006 panels fit on any year between 1997-2006?

    Questions about deleting my heater core bypass

    The previous owner did a heater core bypass and now I want to put a new heater core in. Believe it or not it gets cold in the Arizona desert. My windshield was frozen the last couple mornings and it sucks driving with your head out the window! 😬 I managed to find a brass/copper replacement. It’s...

    Regret with 35s?

    For what it’s worth, I have a 97 4.0 5 speed geared 4.56. I bought it used with 35’s already on it. I thought I’d want to go to 33’s before I bought it but after driving it I fell in love with the 35’s. I wish mine was geared 4.88 but honestly the 4.56 isn’t really too bad. My wife has a stock...

    Currie Lift Thread

Up here in Cave Creek, right after the rain, I had a very busy critter packing saguaro pods into my engine compartment. The pics below are from one night of his busy work! Seriously tho, I’m so...

    A/C not cold, quick question...

    Just a follow up for anyone this might help in the future. The problem turned out to be faulty wiring. From the repair notes: “Monitored data PIDS while driving and found the AC compressor command being disabled intermittently while driving. Further testing found a random break in the wire...

    A/C not cold, quick question...

    Ok so my A/C has been blowing cool (not really cold mind you) more or less since I bought my Jeep (97 4.0 TJ) a few months ago. It usually starts cool then will get a little colder after a few minutes and be alright. The last week or so it has also started loosing the cool air altogether and...

    Arizona Reliable TJ Service in Phoenix, Arizona?

    Like ac_ mentioned I’ve used Absolute Off-road a few times now and I can tell you they are honest and fair. Jason and Matt are great guys and very knowledgeable. It’s a small shop and they’re really busy so if you can deal with that you can at least be assured you’re not getting ripped off. Best...

    How to properly set your pinion angle

    “If you were to watch a "U" joint move through an angle (the operating angle) from an end view . You would see that the joint in the driven shaft has to move through an ellipse. Because the joint has to move through each of the quadrants of this elliptical path in a fixed amount of time, the...

    eBay find: 2004 Rubicon $9900 BIN, Rhode Island

    Not mine, and I have no affiliation but that seems like pretty low ‘buy it now’ price for an 04 Rubicon. It says clean frame but no frame pics. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5337789113&icep_item=382401373039

    OEM heater core discontinued: Best replacement?

    I hear ya @superduty, I was contemplating having a working OEM used heater core refurbished by a local radiator shop. I just wonder if that would be more reliable than the aftermarket stuff in the long run? That’s pretty much what I’m trying to determine now. I’m fairly confident there are no...

    OEM heater core discontinued: Best replacement?

    I’ll just pass this along in case it helps anyone. I might give this guy a try. I don’t know anything about this seller but he looks to be parting out a lot of TJ’s and has quite a few heater/ac assemblies for sale in addition to just about everything else on a TJ. https://ebay.com/usr/baseline4x4
