At a standstill trying to diagnose two separate but likely connected issues. Past few months I’ve been having the airbag light go on in the cluster during normal driving. Goes on, goes off intermittently. Figure it’s the clock spring so wrestle the steering wheel off and replace the clock...

Replaced seals, bearings and split shafts in the 8.8 a month ago. Come out to the jeep and inside of the tire is once again soaked with diff oil after only 100 or so miles on the new equipment. Same side (passenger) as before the refurb work a month ago. Other than the seal being misaligned...

Ripping the 8.8 axle apart due to another leak and and going to replace the shafts, bearings and seals this time. Also wanted to move the caliper brake hoses a little further inboard so need to know if the banjo bolt brake hoses from a TJ will work on an 8.8 caliper? Banjo bolt for both seems to...

Have a TJ with an 8.8 out of a 2000 Explorer. 2 months back I noticed I had a slight axle seal leak on passenger side. Drained the pumpkin, pulled the pin and the axle and installed a new seal. Jeep has mostly sat this summer because of work etc. Last night crawled under to bleed the brakes and...

Have a new noise today. At initial crankover, engine turns, starts and then there’s a short subtle rattling and then everything sounds normal. Am I assuming correctly that’s the starter not disengaging fast enough? Is there a fix or just wait for failure and replace?

Removed the stock flares and trying to source replacement hardware in stainless. Looks like the nutserts are #12-28 thread pitch. Can someone confirm if that's correct? Seems like a really odd size to use for a mass produced vehicle. Thanks!

Does anyone need the stereo surround dash bezel/panel? Original part off an '02. Let me know.

Sometimes I am an idiot. During those times I forget to disengage my parking brake lever before reversing out of the drive. After I realize i'm being an idiot I of course disengage the brake but soon realize that the amount of slack or freeplay (non engagement) in the parking brake lever has...

Hey guys, have a 8.8 rear end from a 2000 ford explorer and let's just say the parking brake situation is trash. Becomes very loose very quick and no self adjust for the in hat parking brake shoes. So I figured before the next inspection, might as well try some things to help. Option 1 is buy...

So I've been experiencing evap leak CELs and a fun tea kettle whistling sound during initial warmups on cold morning. Figured I'd smoke test the intake and see if I have any rotting hoses. Found smoke seeping out of the throttle body flapper linkage rod "bearing" but no leaky hoses. Since the...

Took the leaky stock box out last night and out in the reman’d Durango box. Everything fit and I put in new lines as well. put in new steering fluid and get no steering. Almost feels like there’s no power assist or there’s something holding up wheels. Any clues? Could I have reversed the high...

Everyone's favorite topic. 2002 TJ with an 8.8 rear end and XJ cables. Every few months feels like the parking brake cables "stretch" and the parking brake lever develops a dead zone before it feels like there's tension. When properly adjusted there's no dead zone. The parking brake lever...

Looking for impressions from people that went through the extra hassle to install a double din stereo. Worth it? How’s the sun glare and readability of the display? Did you buy the aftermarket face plate or dream up your own solution?

Everyone's favorite subject is the awful 8.8 drum in hat parking brakes. So, found this: https://www.shop.blackmagicbrakes.com/Wizard-Brackets-Reverse-TJ-Style-Parking-Brake-Cables-BRAKE-WIZARD-BRACKETS.htm Anyone try them? Part of advert is that the longer lever increases holding power...

My 02 has the stock rear seat with no child seat anchors, which came with the 03-06 model seats. So, anyone ever swap the 03-06 seat into the back of an 97-02? You guys are crafty and before I start drilling and welding I was hoping someone would have some pointers. Or has anyone added anchor...

Hey, I have an 02 Tj and want to install a 03-06 rear seat with the child seat brackets. Anyone did this?

I've searched through the threads for rear facing anchors and come up empty. As far as I can tell, my 02 doesn't have the seat anchors to "clip" the seat into like the later models have. I do have the rear upper clip located near the tailgate floor pan I'd love to see a picture of what those...

I'm near Boston, Mass and looking for a black soft top with frame or just the frame. Let me know.

Long story short, have a Dana 30 3.07 front axle out of a TJ that’s been sitting around taking up space I don’t have. I was going to toss it into the back of the pickup and get zero cents in scrap value but I figured I’d ask if it was worth pulling the shafts or the c clip... Or if I am an idiot...

Experienced a very mild "wobble" at around 50. Hit a bump and had the steering wheel jump around about an inch in either direction but I snugged up and it stopped. Crawled under the jeep and took out the trackbar axle side bolt and found that there was around a 16th of inch side to side play in...
