    No dash gauges

    I fixed it with the “jeep slap”. Just gave the dash a couple of whacks and everything came to life. *insert joke here*

    10/30 all the way. The only thing that mine didn’t seem to care for was Mobil1.

    Frame rust cleanup (I hope)

    One thing I did after treating the rust on the underside of my TJ was use an entire can of PB rust inhibitor. It kind of looks like someone put Jerri Curl on the underside of your jeep but it’s two winters in without needing to be reapplied. And no rust peeking through.

    CB radio not receiving

    Much better to have a cheap radio and a good tunable antenna than a good radio and a cheap untunable antenna if you are going to use CB.

    My handheld GMRS setup was 43$ and is 10w. Works flawlessly in the mountains where line of sight can be a challenge for traditional CB

    1999 TJ intermittent no start

    Intermittent, maybe ECM? Haven’t had this issue on my TJ but it sounds exactly like an issue I had on one of my old CJ’s. Just spitballing.

    Engine sputters when turning on high beams

    Normally flashing CEL is a computer issue. (If it’s constantly on and flashing that is)

    Cold start question

    Agree with the check valve. My 98 kicks right over even when the temps hit single digits.

    Mammoth Trail shocks

    My Bilsein’s are about at the end of their lives so I was wondering if anyone in the community has run Mammoth Trail shocks? If so, what do you think?

    is there anything wrong with a 180 degree thermostat?

    We see tons of issues with cpu on other vehicle types not agreeing with the lower than OEM thermostats. The owners always made the changes with perfect intentions but just opened up a Pandora’s Box of secondary headaches. If it asks for 195, just give it the 195 lol.
