Free, cheap, & low cost mods for your Jeep Wrangler TJ

Wait. What? You can do that? I have always thought they were backwards.

Yeah I always felt they were backwards too until I learned from a thread on here how you can just swap them. It requires bending the rod that's inside the door but its super easy to do and you can tell how to bend it by just looking at it. Very simple and well worth it.

Jeeps stated reason for the change was to prevent unwanted opening when running tight trails (branch gets caught and pops door open) apparently this was a problem on the YJ

You mean "low cost" adds up??!! Welcome to the addiction.

Dorman throttle springs, JK drain plugs, and Hooke Road grab bars.

Ooh, I’ve been meaning to do the JK plugs. Especially if I can’t fix that leak. Grab bars are nice. I got some of those.

i'm interested, can you link the video? I wonder why they didn't do this in the factory, gas spill out when you get on steep angles or something?

i dont want to start any argument on who's right and wrong, but bigwheels88's link looked like they cut off the valve, if im not mistaken, thats roll over valve, i wouldnt cut that. i simply cut the smaller diameter hose and got me 4 extra. but its your call ^__^ i left that bigger diameter hose alone.

Looking for the best (cheap) bed liner type paint to go over my Warn front bumper and tube light mount attachment. Thoughts/suggestions? Was just gonna go with the rustoleum but figured I’d post here first to see if you all had better results elsewhere.
