    How to fix small zipper separation?

    Anyone have suggestions on how to remedy these small separations in the zipper? Happened to me 3 times the very first time I tried to take my back window off my soft top. [sorry for the poor photo quality, but you can still see what I mean]

    Yet another brake bleeding question

    Sorry, I have read most of all the posts, especially Mr. Blaine's, but still have a question. I suspect I may know the answer, but want some assurance I am not off the rails. I had a major mishap, that you can read about in another thread. Well, I am still working through an entire rebuilt...

    Soft brake line question

    So I've ordered two front driver side soft brake line replacements. (Dorman brand, but OEM looking style and just a bit longer ~1" that what it is replacing). The Passenger side fit the bolt to the caliper but the driver side stock bolt doesn't fit the hole. I sent it back and got a...

    How to add brake fluid from completely empty?

    OK, so I am getting closer to putting my whole brake system back together after a major f-up. I have completely drained the lines, replaced the soft lines, replaced/rebuild calipers and brakes, flushed the master cylinder and combo valve (completely removed and flushed). Drained the hard...

    TIFU: simple brake job eh?

    Well I managed to do a ridiculously stupid thing, on top of another stupid mistake. I can't seem to win recently with Jeep stuff. Might as well bare all, hopefully someone else might learn from my stupidity. Late May/early June I woke at 5 am to head ~3hrs north to guide a trail run. My...

    Need help diagnosing brake lock up

    So Saturday, I was the tail gunner on a fun trail for my club in slick greasy conditions. It was a 3 hour drive north to the trail we were doing. The night before I did an oil change, as I was a bit overdue. One thing I noticed was that I only got about 3.5-3.75 L of old oil out despite...

    Tailgate roll cage tie-in bracket

    I sourced some inexpensive but HD tailgate hinges from Ebay. However, I was looking to see if anyone has seen reinforcement brackets sold individually? I mean the ones that tie into the cage on the passenger side to help distribute the weight on the hinges/body. Might be a long shot. I...

    Easy question: tailgate mount bolt size/pattern

    I long removed and lost the factory spare carrier, but I want to install a license relocation and CB antenna mount plate which didn't come with any hardware. What hardware am I after? (I can't find my thread checker tool).

    Evolution of a Steel Blue TJ

    I am not going to copy my whole "build thread" over to this site, but I tend to prefer this site. All the cool kids are here. :cool: I'd still like to document the slow development of my continuing build and ask questions that have a hope of getting answered. Thus this thread. Recap of my...

    Removing rear driveshaft with JB Conversion SSYE kit

    What may be hard to see in the above photos is that the T-case side of the driveshaft's bolts aren't the 5/16th bolts elsewhere. They are 6 sided 1/2" head bolts. The casting around the bolt heads is too narrow for me to get a wrench on it and turn. The 12 sided enclosed end is too thick to fit...

    Diagnosing clunking sound

    I could use some help on things to look for or check when diagnosing bad clunking sound when shifting (NV3550). I am getting really bad clunking sound when shifting, worse in lower gears but there in all gears. Here is the thing, when I get on or off the gas it also does it but a bit less...

    Tuffy Drawer in TJ

    Long story made short. Broke my second rear glass on my hardtop in 2 years, maybe 3. Been on the fence about going to soft top permanently even though I live in the great white north and in a major metro (think theft). This time it pushed me over the edge and ordered a Bestop Supertop in...

    Rear Antirock relocation question

    So end of last season I had a rear antirock installed when my Savvy mid-arm upgrade was installed. Little did I know that the standard kit has the arms facing the rear directly where outboarding shock towers (even if frenched) would go. This is an issue. I'd seen a number of alternate positions...

    Where to run wires to swing out carrier?

    I want to run my CB antenna mount to the mount on the swing out tire carrier. I will go through a hole I put in the bumper to run wires and zip tied to the carrier, but I can only see that I have have to punch a significant hole in the tub to get the head of that cable through to the behind...

    Rear passenger taillight wiring colors

    I bought a rear license plate bracket and light from Metalcloak that goes on my MC rear tire carrier bumper. The wiring diagram to splice in the wiring to the rear passenger light is completely wrong, as in not even one color exists in that wiring. I found some diagrams online (only one that...
