    Overheating at Idle

    Do you ever drive the Jeep through mud, or has it ever been driven in mud? Check to be sure that the radiator/ac condenser fins are not plugged or restricted with mud/debris. What is the condition of the fan shroud? If it is missing or damaged air will not pull through the radiator properly.

    Is my throwout bearing bad?

    Death to the non-tramp stamp Trektop

    Took the mangled top off, and cleaned up debris over the weekend to prepare for the new top… found this… big ol’ dent on drivers side floor. Seat was up, as I’ve been using the TJ to get to the airport, so had luggage. Seat still works fine, locks in place… seat completely covers the dent...
