    1997 Wrangler TJ radio wont work

    I took mine apart today. There should be a flat strap ground behind the units install area as shown in the previous picture Ed posted.In mine it runs down to under the steering wheel and is grounded there. Its fairly easy to get to a couple screws and you are there. But running to the glove box...

    Also, added some RGB rock lights. The product came with no instructions but it was pretty much straightforward. Much to my dismay however, only three out of the six worked. So I checked all the connections again and then re-connected to the battery. Three minutes later, one of the lights that...

    Some new mods going on. Added new VDP sound bar with a Clarion 400w marine amp. It actually fits behind the stereo console so no problems with water when I run through the local bogg. Also, took off those 6 inch flares. They really were a PITA to work around in cranking on the engine. I plan on...

    npb2.4, If, when, I regear I will go with 5.13s from Revolution. They run around 475 bucks. If I snap an axle, I am just going to go with chromoloys and they make them in Dana 30/35s.

    I have a 5 speed as well. I honestly don’t notice much difference in the lower gears than when I had 31s. I don’t have any mountain passes in Florida but would imagine it would suck. Skip big tires in a 4 banger if you are in a mountainous area and traveling highways. I wouldn’t hesitate to use...

    Added 4 inch Zone nitro lift and Patagonia 35 MTs. Cold air intake and 4.0 throttle body with Ford Fox injectors. Defintely feels more peppy off the line. Also added a Thrush turbo muffler. A friend of mine from SE Ga describes the sound as a pissed off bumble bee in a 50 gallon drum...lol. It...

    Don, I too was really torn on bigger tires, read a lot of different opinions on here. I threw caution into the wind and bought 35s. Patagonia MTs. According to the manufacturers specs the 35s were actually lighter. Not sure how that works but thats what they said. And that is what made my mind...

    Manual. Runs pretty good. The flag decal is actually a magnet covering what appears to be an old cb antennae mount hole. I plan on just mounting a new whip there. I did however get a few new emblems to put on the TJ. I won’t spoil the surprise just yet though.

    Front Sway bars

    Thanks for the replies. Here are a few better shots of it. They both angle in toward the center the same amount. The only reason why I even asked the question is because a friend of mine has a YJ and mentioned something to me about it along the lines of “hey man your bars ain’t straight”. I...

    Started pretty close to stock when purchased in April of 2018. It had 31s on it with 1.5” spacers and that was about it. And then the mods began.....

    Front Sway bars

    Installed sway bar links that came with a 4 inch Nitro lift. Sway bar links are angled. Is this normal? Not a great picture angle. I will try and get a better shot.
