    WTB: OEM parts for my 1999 TJ Sport

    Updated list. Didn't think this would get any traction. I will respond to the PM. I still can not believe what eBay is asking for the seat lever!!! $30 for that small piece of plastic. I may just 3D print the pair I need..... :(

    Putting it back on the road

    A bunch of work has been done over the past couple of months. Not many pictures of all of it. New heater core installed. That was a chore! Found there were a lot of missing and lose fasteners in the dash! All tight now! Found that the gasket was missing from the fan! While the dash was...

    Putting it back on the road

    Question... I ran the VIN on my Jeep to get the build. The tire size on the build sheet matches the spare size, make and model. Including rim. 30X9.5R15 The sticker on the door jam does not. Is this normal for a Chrysler product?

    WTB: OEM parts for my 1999 TJ Sport

    I am looking for a few parts to fill in the gaps on my Jeep "restoration". As the title of the tread states, O.E.M. parts are what I am looking for; 1. Front speakers. I really only need 1, but if you need to get rid of a pair I understand. 2. A pair of front floor mats. All I can figure is...

    Putting it back on the road

    Yesterday I did an oil change. Also, changed the gear lube in the transmission... Man did the transmission oil stink!!! :sick: The plug had some slime on it, but not as bad as I expected. Why is there such a bad smell to the old gear lube? Is it a sign of age? Maybe the last owner put in old...

    Half doors are hard to find

    I can attest to the cost of half doors. I spent the better part of 2 years looking. Prices ranged from +$2K down to a couple hundred. Condition didn't matter, it just seems to be what the seller thinks they can get. I would think with the number of Jeeps being parted out, there would be a...

    Putting it back on the road

    The biggest thing that has kept me from working on the Jeep is my sons 1994 GMC Suburban. We picked it up from a farmer in Indiana. His first car and project! Had the transmission rebuilt and then went to work on the back end. Had to replace a section of frame and rebuild the leaf springs...

    What's this?

    Being a possible export model and seeing the rear disk brakes, plus over spray on the shock, anything is possible. Can you get a photograph of the frame sections over the axles? It may give a clue to a second mounting point...
