I have some questions about my 98 TJ Sport 4.0 Manual.
I have purchased my first Wrangler ever last year in October. I know nothing about Wranglers and even less about my TJ. The TJ I bought came with windshield lights and a lightbar. When the daylight breaks I will post pictures of my TJ to show what I have. From what I can recall right now, my lights on my windshield and lightbar I think are a brand called Nlights, with some brand of the bracket to mount the lights to my TJ. My TJ came with 31's Cooper STT Pros with what I can tell is almost a brand new tread. It still has very deep depth and still has the sipes in all the tires. My lightbar and windshield lights on my TJ came unwired but mounted to my TJ.
From when I got it I have done some slight changes to my TJ, so far I have done an audio install, Speakers, Amps, Subs and full tub deadening. Besides that, I have changed my cluster to LEDs.
I have some questions about what I would like to do. I want to change out the other lights to LEDs in my cluster. 4WD, Blinkers, High Beam Indicator, Gaslight, Upshift light, all of them. My question for this is: what color do I get for each of these bulbs? Could I just put in default white light? Or would that mess something up with different colors coming through the panel? My next question, I have a slider for my HVAC controls, can I change out the lights in there to LEDs? I couldn't find a video on this, I am more of a see to do the type of person. If I see it done I might be able to do it. Another question is that I never had lights for my interior footwells, I checked tonight and I saw that there was a space for them, at least for my drivers' side, but there was no pigtail to connect it. Could I just get a replacement pigtail to replace it? Do TJ Sports come with a passenger's side footwell light? My last question for the footwell lights is what bulb LED would they take?
I have been wondering this but how do you wire windshield lights through the cowl? I am stumped about this. I have a friend who told me that the pinching of the cowl and the wires is a no go and could ultimately cause a fire. I don't disagree with him, so I would like to do this right. From what I have seen, everything concerning windshield lights, people have wired through the cowl, though the pinch where the cowl and the pillar meets. Is this really the best way to go about wiring this? Is there something else that could be done? I don't mean to offend anyone if I am, but I don't think that my friend is wrong, but I also don't want to upset the people who wire their lights this way. I am more of a "video person, see it done on video then I might be able to do it" kind of person.
One really annoying thing I have noticed when I drive my TJ, I don't know what the problem is but when I drive there is a really loud whistling sound coming from my front end somewhere. I haven't figured it out yet before I go crazy and chalk it up to one of the things that a Jeep has, is there something that I am missing when it comes to this whistling sound? I would think that in my experience that this would be the most annoying and loud noise coming from my Jeep. I have an aftermarket head-unit with aftermarket speakers that are amped and this whistling has me going up to near the max of my head-unit. Again, this could just be something that all wranglers have, but I just don't know. As I have said in my passage earlier, this is my first Wrangler and I have no experience with Wranglers up until this point in my life.
I am also looking for a good slush mat for my jeep, as well as some new carpet. My TJ came without carpet in the front but the rear had carpet. But I thought I might as well replace the carpet with new carpet. If someone could also recommend a good brand for a carpet that would be delightful.
My last question, for now, does anyone know where to get this type of screw? The one with the built-in washer, I think it might be just a MOPAR part but I am not sure. I like to try to keep everything hardware-wise as close to the original as I can. If someone could point me in the right direction on where to get this type of screw that would be very helpful.
