This one. Actually I bought it three years ago for my daughter. 97 TJ SE, 4-banger automatic. In nice shape to begin with but it's been kind of an ongoing restoration project. Got new front fenders to replace the rusty originals, full repaint, new Bestop sailcloth top, Bestop headliner this...

I just put on a Banks cat-back, it sounds pretty good. Not exactly cheap, but it's been losing a muffler a year so I figured I'd save money in the long run if I got a good stainless system that I might get 3 to 5 years out of. 4-banger + glasspack = ricer

I would just fill it as much as you can and start it normally. If you want to be picky you can pour some into the thermostat opening before you put the thermostat in (unless you already did that). Put the radiator cap on just halfway (one click) and the coolant will heat up faster and open the...

The Jet 180* t-stat is meant to work in conjunction with their Stage II chip. My understanding is that the Stage II also requires 91 octane ga$. The chip should account for the lower temps as far as the computer is concerned, but (in my opinion) if your engine is predisposed to run at say...

I have used NAPA Ceramix pads on several of our vehicles, the pedal feel is great and there is virtually no dust. They also have an "Ultra Premium" rotor, they cost $75+ but they are the only rotors that my wife can't destroy in a year on her car. I had the previous set of those cut three...

They are about the same overall size as a 33x12.50-15.

Valve seals on a 4-banger shouldn't cost that much. It's worth a shot. Rebuilt 4-bangers start at $1600. Cheaper than a new used Jeep. My .02.

Synthetic oil doesn't smoke much in an engine that burns oil. I have a cousin who works at a rather shady used car lot and he told me they put Mobil 1 in cars that burn oil because people won't see smoke (although the cars still burn oil). A quart every 100 miles is excessive but your problem...

Thanks. Rotator cuff surgery turned into a nasty infection and I will have to be on IV antibiotics at home for at least a month. My daughter says the exhaust is kind of loud but sounds good and she doesn't mind. Bud of mine put the full Banks Power Pack on his 32' RV, phenomenal increase in...

Looks great! There are lighted license plate frames that would work.

Well, it's on. I haven't heard it yet though. Had to have my kids pick it up since I'm laid up in the hospital. Outpatient surgery turned into a 4 day stay. Get out on Monday. My daughter says it sounds good.

I had Autolite Platinums in it but it was in the shop last week for some issues and among other things my mechanic put in plain ol' Champion copper. Says Jeeps and Mopars run best on them.

You can air down the rear more than the front if need be. Fronts are more likely to pop off from turning. I wouldn't go lower than 15 in the front but you could run 10-12 in the rear and probably be okay unless you bounce the sidewall off a rock.

So far it's still sitting in the box in my basement. Getting it put on Friday. Third muffler in three years so I figured I'd try the good stainless stuff. It's purty and shiny. Maybe get the matching header in a month or two.

For 35" tires or less, the Ford 8.8" will be fine. Also for 97-up TJ's the bolt pattern is the same and if you get one from a later model Explorer it will have disc brakes.

Factory hardtops fit over the rollcage. Bestop and Smittybilt make aftermarket hardtops but I don't know if they make longer ones for the Unlimited

I had Bridgestone Dueler REVO's on my previous truck, best all-around tire I ever had, good off-road, great in snow too, downside they wore out kinda fast.

This: Synthetic or synthetic blend will last longer, protect better, and give some infinitesimal increase in fuel economy. That said, Jeepers who frequently off-road and get the axles under mud and water need to change the axle lube often and in those cases there is no point in spending the...

Ours has a stumble that comes and goes but getting more frequent. Fuel pump has been replaced already. If you put it in neutral when it happens it revs just fine. Going back to the shop next week to get looked at again.

AEV makes a complete kit to drop in a Dodge truck hemi. Probably be easier and I think they have cylinder deactivation that makes them good on gas.
