    Looking for advice on installing new crank position sensor

    I am in the process if trying to change my CPS and instead if bolts it is on studs with nuts so it will not just slide out. There is no big opening like I have seen on some videos so it has room to get it out. So instead of getting all flustered I figured I'd ask for advice before I make some...

    1997 TJ sputtering and stalling

    On my way to the beach the other day in my 97 TJ it was running normal and all of a sudden it starts to sputter a few times. I slowed down my acceleration and got there.

    Speaker options

    Are there any speakers that anyone has installed that will sit on top of the dash right above the 2 outer vents on a 1997 Wrangler. Also, I do not have a sound bar but wish I could find some kind of thin long soundbar like one you would have for a TV that I could mount on my rollbar.

    Who has the best way of changing oil in an old 2.5 without big mess?

    I am getting ready to change the oil in my 97 TJ and draining the oil from the pan is no problem but the idiotic place they put the filter is my problem. Why would they put it where it pours all over the starter? I am sure I could come up with something but thought I would ask if anyone out...

    Exhaust leak question

    I have a 97 with the 2.5 liter and have had an exhaust leak for quite a while. When I bought it there was some gray pasty looking crap slathered on around where the manifold attaches to the exhaust pipe and it slowly disappeared so I figured that is where the leak is. I bought a new donut, at...

    Removing hood

    I am wanting to repaint my hood and I thought it would be easier doing it with the hood removed. My only concern is snapping the Torx bolts. They look to be in good shape but almost everything else I have ever unbolted seems to break them. It's probably a dumb question because they are all...

    Question about a bikini top

    When I bought my Wrangler a couple of years ago it came with a brand new extended top in the box. I just opened it the other day and also bought the header bar that it says to get. I got it all installed but the only thing I cannot figure out is what to do with the little crease behind the...

    Where do I find manifold washers

    When I bought my TJ it was missing the 2 outer bolts on the manifold, they are broken off. Since then I believe 1 more vibrated out and I got some bolts that work and used something I had laying around for a washer but not what I need. I went to advance Auto but they didn't have anything that...
