Thanks! I have the full doors and the thread you posted mentioned half doors. I searched on the crown automotive site per the thread you linked and it looks like they don't have the fill door seals. :-( If anyone has that that template to drill the holes so a new seal kit would fit, that would...

It seems that replacement door seals are a common challenge, but after searching the forum, I haven't seen this specific issue mentioned. I ordered replacement door seals (from Rock Auto. I think they are the fairchild ones) as the OE ones were failing. On my '99, the bottom of the doors has...

UPDATE: I took @macleanflood 's advice, and picked up an angle grinder and cutting wheel. (Never shy away from an excuse to buy a new tool!) However, I wasn't to get the blade close enough to cut off the tab. However, using a big pry bar, I was able to bend the bumper out enough to to access to...

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, there are 2 more bolts for the rest of the hitch that go directly into the frame that are behind the bumper. I have kriol, but I can’t get to the other side of the bolt to soak it. I don’t have a torch. What’s MAPP gas? Is that like a propane plumbing torch?

It was bound to happen to me on a 25 year old Jeep, and yesterday it finally did. :( I am trying to replace the stock rear bumper and small tow receptical with an aftermarket tubular one, on my 1999 TJ Sport. I want to upgrade the looks, plus the PO had clearly backed into a pole of some sort...

Great thread. I was curious about the same thing. I usually get a wave back, except for the Gladiator drivers. It’s like they don’t know they are driving a Jeep. I had no idea the ducks were a thing. I just thought it was a strange person I see on the road sometimes.

My '99 TJ has the stock springs, and I am noticing a few things: The front seems to be "drooping" a bit. You can see that the clearance from the top of the tires to the fender in the front is less than on the rear. The PO installed new 31" tires right before I bought it, and I like the look of...

@jonny jeep - how did you determine it was the ACM? I am chasing my airbag light and have already checked the fuses, replaced the clock spring, and checked the passenger AB disable switch and light.

Ha! I thought it is based on some program in the ECM that Jeep determined that if followed, helped it hit the claimed EPG.

I find it's suggestions mildly amusing. But it doesn't bother me enough to take any overt action. Also, I don't always notice it as the steering wheel position seems to block most of it for me.

I litterally just found the exact same issue on my (new to me) '99 yesterday. Not sure if my radiator is still the OE one (how can I tell?). But yeah. I seem to now have the same small leak that drips down the fan shroud and basically sprays the front of the engine. The fluid is clear (well...

Update on this. Problem Solved! After more research and studying of the wiring diagram from the Haynes repair manual, I figured this out. Quick recap: My '99 TJ was built for the Canadian market. (Confirmed by looking up the build sheet, found by using the link listed in the "How To" section...

Replaced the driver and passenger door seals. Now I have to slam them to close. :) Hopefully that will loosen a tad over time. I also replaced the clock spring as I am chasing the notorious airbag light. New spring in, airbag light still on. The chace continues! I did get a blue driver code...

What year are your Jeeps? I am currently on this journey with my ‘99. I got a replacement set from extreme terrain. Started with the drivers door and after removing my factory seal, realized that my doors don’t have the pins all around. I have a channel strip thing along the bottom of the doors...

Yikes. You are right. That price seems very excessive, just for the lens. Thanks for the tip on finding a full used cluster.
