My wife has been finding duck's on the Jeep. I told her to throw that $hit away.

With over a million TJ's sold + 97-01 Cherokees that use the same vent, why is the center HVAC vent not reproduced? Both of mine were busted when I bought the jeep, I was able to take the two of them and make one good vent. I am making a JY trip soon, if I can't locate one, it looks like $40...

Finally received all my tax docs to start working on last years return. I can't seem to get the motivation to get started. Maybe today, after a nap...

I am scratching my head trying to figure out gear ratio and tire diameter. My 99 TJ has a 3.07 gear and came with 30-9.5-15 tires that are about 29.5" tall. Some TJ's came with the same 3.07 gears and 205-75-15 tires that are about 27.1" tall. The 3.07 and 32RH are a good match on the road...

Shopping for tires for the TJ. Most metric tires are a SL load range with 4 plys and a max inflation of 44 psi. Most flotation tires are a C1 load range with 6 plys and a max inflation of 50 psi. The 255 70 18 Bridgestones are coming off. 32" tall. The next couple years, driving will be...

I surf YouTube a lot. Here are a couple of my favorite videos.

My 99 has 3/4 nutserts per side to hold the side steps on. The new factory style side steps offered have a u-bolt and two hooks per bracket for 01-06 TJ's. Does no one sell the 97-00 style brackets? I have seen a few used for sale, but at 25 years old, they are pretty beat up. I want the...

After way more prep time than I anticipated, I am close to putting color on my Ravine wheels. My plan was oem silver, Rustoleum Steel is nearly a perfect match. I ran across a pic of a Golden Eagle and really like the gold wheels, so now I am thinking a tan or gold color. If I go with gold...

Backstory. I live in a 55+ HOA. No vehicle maintenance allowed in the driveway or yard, garage only. I had my garage built an extra 10 feet deep so I would have room for a workbench. No outside storage allowed. Any outbuilding must be brick and match the house. County ordnance, all...

The Jeep parts fisch shows p/n 55037225 is for both the console lid bumper and the glove box door bumper. Can someone verify that the console lid and glove box door uses the same bumper? I do not have either of the bumpers on my 99 console lid. I have both of the glove box door bumpers, they...

The squeak I was blaming on the new spacer lift seems to be coming from under the console. There is also a slight clunk when I put the transmission in R or D. I suspect the transmission mount and/or u-joints. Any other items in that general area that could be causing a squeak? The faster I...

I went on Jeeps website and speced out a base 2-door JL as close to my TJ as possible. The price was $40480 for the AT and $35,980 for the manual. The lowest priced 2-door JL on a dealer lot within 100 miles of me is 46k + dealer BS and TTL. So it ends up being 50k OTD. Of course, the JL has...

Since I have had the TJ, we have had two hard rains. Both times the passenger floorboard filled up. No water intrusion anywhere else. It is not a plugged cowl drain. The door gaskets are new and tight. I suspect the windshield gasket. The windshield needs replacing anyway, I was hoping to...

The driver door switch works to turn on the interior lights, the passenger door switch is missing the plunger. The key chime does not work. The seatbelt buzzer does not work. There are two wires under the driver seat, no connector on the wires. How do I determine which wire is which? The...

The 18" JK wheels have got to go. As soon as I paint the 15" Canyon wheels, they are going on. For the next 12-18 months the Jeep will be my wifes DD to commute to and from work, about 18 miles round trip. All city streets. After that, who knows, will probably tow the Jeep behind the...

My console lid lock is broke, the key doesn't fit and it was painted with a paintbrush. I disassembled and scrubbed the paint off with an SOS pad. I am not going to bother with a repaint since it is a high wear item, I will stick a cover on it. I see two holes in the back on the underside...

Mine was a 65 CJ-5 with the Hurricane 134. I found a wrecked Jeep in the J-yard with a 327. I bought the 327, T-98 and exhaust for $200, intending to put it in the CJ-5, but I traded it for a Honda 3-wheeler. I traded a 83 Mustang for the Jeep, then a couple years later, traded the Jeep for a...
