    Bestop bows and hardware to fix twill soft top?

    I have recently purchased a bestop twill replace a top for my 06 TJ. The fitment appears good however the rear windows aren't as taunt as the oem neither is the door surround clips. At higher speeds the buffering and noise is actually worse than my old stock top. I'm wondering if the best top...

    Is this gasket still good to use?

    When the oil sump gasket was sent they decided to fold it like so. The blue outer layer isn't cracked or split but would just like to make sure it's still good to use?

    Sunrider soft top clip location

    I've recently removed my hardtop and am using a soft top I got for free as the bloke went with the bowless variety. So I've put it together with most of the hardware he gave me but have these left over. I assume they go in place like this? Am I missing something or do I drill out some...

    Any one know what these electrical connectors are for?

    I've taken apart my centre console in preparation for installing dynamat. I've noticed two connections not connected to anything. After a quick search I realised the first is for an automatic gear shift light. But the second one has me puzzled. I have a manual, rhd and stock sub if that helps.

    Is this oil drain hole normal?

    Changing my oil for the first time today and to my surprise I was reading that the drain plug doesn't have a crush washer but some type of gasket. Does this look normal? It looks like it has been torqued on too tight several times. It hasn't been leaking other than the rear main seal but...

    Surging idle issue

    I thought I'd start a fresh thread to trouble shoot this issue. I've been having issues with surging/bouncing idle. This occurs when coming off the throttle or coming to a stop. Sometimes it will completely stall if I don't feather the throttle enough to keep the RPMs up. It has been erratic...

    Jeep running rough and stalling when driving

    Hey all so I was driving the other day going about 60kmh (37mph) and the Jeep started dipping in power and bucking/surging as I was travelling down the road. The engine cut out, I managed to pull over, clutch in, under no power except the momentum I already had and put the hazards on. I sat here...

    How to wire up tow bar lights

    So I'm moving house in the next couple of weeks and figured a trailer would help compensate for the TJ's lack of space. I picked up a Hayman Reese towbar from a jeep wreckers installed no issues, does anyone knows the torque specs on the mounting bolts? And also the procedure for wiring up...

    Where does this part go?

    This is the main reason I like to perform maintenance on my vehicles (outside of specialised work/machinery requirements) myself. Maybe my expectations are unattainable or I'm too fastidious but I think the job should be done correctly. Rant over. I had my Jeep taken back to the dealer I...

But for as long as I can remember I've always wanted a Jeep Wrangler, probably from watching and loving Jurassic Park :lol: So here it is my first Wrangler! I was tossing up...
