    Anyone know the bolt size for the hood ground strap?

    See picture for ground I'm referring to. Was checking my grounds yesterday and this one was loose (likely from the paint job I had a while back. Just looking for the bolt size/thread pitch.

    Suddenly intermittently stumbling while accelerating, idling fine

    Well, my wrangler (98 4.0 Auto) is the latest car to be angry with me. Drove it for the first time this week. Sat idling for about 5 min before I left the house. About 2 blocks away from the house, all of a sudden while accelerating reasonably lightly from a stop, started stumbling and...

    How would you fix stripped taillight mount hole? Rivnut or just a bigger bolt?

    Just got my TJ back from the body shop, and as I was replacing the little triangle shaped gaskets behind the taillights, I learned that one of the bolts in the triangle, the hole is somehow totally stripped out (the bolt just pushes straight through the hole. I've got a rivnut kit from fixing...

    Need confirmation: My heater hoses are backwards, aren't they?

    Trying to troubleshoot why I've got weak heat (getting 105F at the floor vents). Looking at the FSM for 1998, looks like the flow from the thermostat should go to the bottom heater core port, and the top port should go to the water pump? Looking at my setup, looks like it's backwards, the...

    Should I be worried about this bow in my new soft top's windshield header? The corners seem too tight?

    Installed a Bestop Supertop NX kit last weekend, and it was chilly and a pain, but I got everything on and zipped up properly. But when I latched the windshield header, it seems like the corners are too short, and won't go past the lip in the windshield frame. In the middle though, it seats...

    Is there a way to remove / repair the rod in the early sun visor?

    The plastic tip on my driver's sun visor is a fraction of the length of the tip on the passenger visor (see photos). So when I hit a bump, it pops out of the clip. I figure I can somehow 3d print up a replacement, but I need to get the remnants of the old tip off the rod that goes through the...

    Variants of the machined wheel caps - how do I find them? (FOUND)

    The previous owner put OEM Ravine wheels on my 98, and I've managed to lose a center cap. Using the parts catalog, I found the part number - 52059522AB. But from all the pictures of these that I see, they're all silver. But my center caps have black paint around all the text. I've been scouring...

    Replacement interior door latches - Worth the price for Crown or just go unbranded Chinese?

    The interior door handles on my 98 TJ are completely sun damaged and faded. OEM Mopars being few and far between, and expensive, seem kind of overkill. From my research, it seems like there's basically three options: 1. Unbranded Chinese ones from Ebay, for about $10-15 a set 2. Crown...
