I had a dead battery yesterday due to leaving the light on. Got a jump from someone, and as soon as the jeep started, the rpm was at 2500 while the gas pedal nor the clutch was pressed. If I press the clutch, shift and drive, all seem okay until I get to a stop, the rpm will go to 2500. All this...

Share images of your front and back seats if they are different. I found some brown rear seat out of a mercury mountaineer, I will install in the back, but having hard time finding matching color for the front. So may have to go with non Wrangler black front seats, or keep my TJ front seats if...

My 97 TJ speed is about 10 mph off, it reads about 70 mph on dash while the gps is only at 58. I read that i need to replace the speedometer gear, base on some chart I looked at, i need a 38 gears. Is that right? Where to buy the gear I have a 4.88 gear ratio and running tire size of...

1997 TJ 5-speed I have a very random issue where the heat would turn off randomly while driving, and I cannot figure out what is causing it to go off. At times it happens while am switching gears, and/or maybe when going over a bump, cant really tell what triggers it to go off, and there is no...

I Have a 97 TJ and lately the right side front wheel traction always engages when driving in 2x2 2H. Dry roads feel like am slipping when taking off, and on hard acceleration, the entire truck would shake. when i am in 4H, it feels normal. Any ideas?

I am investigating a death wobble issue on my 97 TJ. It started recently, the driver side wheel would shake badly when I drive in a pot hole of uneven road. To stop the shaking/vibrations I must press the brake pedal then it will come back to normal again. This doesn't happen all the time, but...

I had a rear bent axle, so I end up replacing both rear and front axles. It was straight forward as I just disconnected one side of the control arms to the axles and dropped both axles. Replacement axles are in. Do I need alignment? An alignment was done before the rear axle bent and no other...

Happy new year all. My 97 TJ was hit on the driver side rear corner, the upper and lower control arms absorbed the impact and did bent. I replace all lower and upper control arms, and all was good, until I noticed that the tire on that side wasnt seating straight. Went to get it aligned, and...
