    TJ seat foam

    $12 or so like @emedlin mentioned. I also bought the replacement seat foam and if had included with that purchase shipping would have been free but I didn't think of it in time and they said they couldn't add the bushings to the seat foam order when I called back same day.

    TJ seat foam

    i asked and Summit confirmed the bushing kit is for both seats. if you buy them, learn from my mistake and purchase with the seat foam so shipping is free. I tried to add later same day and they said they couldn't do it. shipping cost half of what the bushings cost (seems like a lot for a...

    Half-door panel retainers

    as a follow-up to my previous post, i found these retainers and painted using Rustoleum Nutmeg neither the retainer nor the color is a perfect match but both are pretty close.

    Knocking and buzzing noise under shifter (2001 TJ, 123k miles, 32RH)

    If it were the exhaust, I'd think it'd make that sound regardless of whether it's in gear or not. It sounds to me like a vibration that is induced when the transmission is engaged. I think you were on the right track with getting underneath while someone is moving through the gears like you're...

    Best frame coating treatment for rust prevention?

    I treat it every fall. it is not garaged. we don't get as much snow as the northeast so there are only a handful of times each winter the roads are typically treated. I don't go out of my way to avoid them but I don't go looking for them either.

    Best frame coating treatment for rust prevention?

    it "firms up" might be the best way I can describe it (not rock hard but doesn't remain gooey/wet) and yes roads in Northern Virginia are pre-treated with a brine solution when there is a forecast of snow

    Best frame coating treatment for rust prevention?

    pardon my jumping in...boiled linseed is not toxic. I adopted TJ2's method a couple of years ago and have been pleased with the results. I cut boiled linseed oil with mineral spirits and spray the inside and outside of the frame (at least as much as I can reach). I haven't worried about...

    2001 TJ 4.0 Vacuum Line Replacement

    I repaired mine by slicing a length of a narrow straw and wrapping it around the vacuum line and then wrapping it with electrical tape. I did this as a short-term fix while waiting for the replacement vacuum line to be delivered. that was a couple of years ago. I still have the new line waiting...

    Lifter tick or cracked manifold?

    did replacing the manifold improve gas mileage? I have a 2000 4.0 with the 32rh. I have the same ticking on start-up then goes away. It hasn't been high on my priority list. I typically get 14 mpg.

    Need help with brake light and turn signal electrical problem

    y'all were right: user error. swapping in the 1157 fixed it. thanks again.

    Need help with brake light and turn signal electrical problem

    I think you be onto something. I installed bulb type 1156 because that's what I had on hand and it seemed to fit but I checked the owner's manual and see that is for the back-up light. Bulb type 1157 is indicated for the stop/tail/turn lamps. I'll get one of those and if that doesn't do it...

    Need help with brake light and turn signal electrical problem

    thank you Jerry. I didn't realize there was a "wrong" way to install the bulb and for a moment thought you might be having fun with me (similar to suggesting that the drummer might have the sticks in the wrong hand) but gave it a try anyway. The only pins I see are on each side of the metal...

    Need help with brake light and turn signal electrical problem

    this is a 2000 sahara. I replaced the rear turn signal bulb the other day and am now noticing other weirdness: when the lights are on: 1. the brake lights are always on unless I open the rear swing gate, then the third brake light turns off 2. the brake lights turn off when the right turn...
