    Subwoofer options

    I used a pioneer sub I found used. Worked great in the rear. I think the model they make today fits flat on the floor behind the rear seats. Today's model is ts-wx70da

    97 TJ 2.5L, low power / exhaust leak?

    The front bolt is not there, the rear bolt is. So one more thing that needs fixing. Also did a fuel consumption calculation. Uses about 2 liter pr 10km = 11,76mpg

    97 TJ 2.5L, low power / exhaust leak?

    Ok, i'll check that as well. It's almost like a rasping exhaust noise when flooring the pedal. To me i sounds like it's coming from underneath the front of the car somewhere. Thanks

    97 TJ 2.5L, low power / exhaust leak?

    Ok. I'll go over the exhaust and check for leaks. It's fine on the freeway uphill as long as i keep it past 3000rpm's. I'll probably change out the 02 sensors and oil sensor as well.

    I've started the process of removing the black spray paint on my tj. Been doing this for the past two days. A lot of work but it looks greener every day. Next is the hood and grill.

    Loose / bouncy rear end

    Ok. I'll try with new shocks and see how it is after that. The skyjacker shocks came with the car and they are probably old. Here in Norway the only brand available is Skyjacker, so i'll have to order from the US.

    Loose / bouncy rear end

    I wouldn't think so. No problems with steering. To me the front of the car seems fine, it's only in the rear end that i feel that the problems are coming from. I'm pretty sure the shocks in the rear are the originals and after somebody liftet the car "2, these will be to short and now also worn out.
