    Brake light problems

    I have also read that the power for the brake lights runs through the multi function switch( or turn signal switch for us simple folk)lol. Is this not correct? Again when it comes to electrical im lost.

    Brake light problems

    Yes it's wired for a trailer. I also just noticed the hazards are not working either. Now I'm thinking it may be the turn signal switch.

    Brake light problems

    A few weeks ago I was considering buying a 97 TJ with a 4 banger for my wife. I held off and found a steal on a 00 model with the 4.0 5 speed. The jeep only has 98,000 on it and runs like a top. The other morning I was driving it too work and my neighbor was behind me and at the end of the...

    97 TJ gas mileage

    All the charts I'm pulling up say with 35s and 4.10 gears It should get better fuel economy than stock but less power to the rear wheels. At 65 mph it should run at 2500 rpms which is close to what my silverado runs at that speed and it has 4.10s in it. 4.56s is what it calls for to put it back...

    97 TJ gas mileage

    But what gear ratio does yours have? Most people don't know that in the 97 TJ with the 4cyl. they also used a 3.55 gear ratio in some and a 4.10 in others. That was the only TJ they did this in if I'm not mistaken. I know it's not gonna get 17-18 mpg, but I was thinking maybe 14-15. Especially...

    97 TJ gas mileage

    I know it needs geared but surely it gets better than 10 miles a gallon. My 95 with the 4.0 has a 6 inch lift and 33s and when it had stock 3.08s it got around 15-16. Now that I put 3.73s in it it gets at least 19 or better. The TJ could probably use a 4.56 or 4.88 I'm sure.

    97 TJ gas mileage

    What kind of gas mileage would you think a 97 TJ with a 4 banger 5 speed and 4.10s get. It also has a cold air intake, performance chip, and an aftermarket exhaust. 6 inch lift and 35s also.

    Dependability of the 4.2

    I found an 89 wrangler I'm thinking of buying. It's in exceptional shape and has several upgrades already done, lift, tires, wheels, body armor, winch and so on. The engine is a stock 4.2 with a 5 speed. It currently has 155,000 on it. My question is how reliable is the 4.2 and is there anything...

    Whats this bolt called?

    I have a 95 yj 4.0 5 spd and there is a long bolt that runs from the transmission down through the cross member/skid plate. I am assuming it is supposed to have a rubber bushing on the top and bottom, but mine has dry rotted and fell off and all it does is rattle every time you take off from a...

    A little scare......

    I commute to work in mine daily and usually run 70-80 on the interstate. It has a 4 inch lift and 33's and anything over 70 it developes a little shimmy and the faster you get the harder the shimmy. Never had mine over 80 and don't want to, so I can't even imagine 90+. It would probably walk...

    finally got my axles swapped out

    Just got my axle swap finished today and man what a difference a new set of gears can make. I had stock 3.07's with a four inch lift and a set of 33's and even with the 4.0 it was a dog in 4th and 5th was pretty much useless. A friend of mine had a set of complete axles with 3.73's in them and...

    Good idea or a stupid thing to do?

    I have had a few people tell me that I can weld up my front axle instead of installing a locker. I just bought my jeep and it is my daily driver and I do not want to screw it up by doing something stupid to it. My buddy has one that has been welded for two years and he swears his works great...

    new guy needs help

    I have a 95 wrangler and when i take off from a dead stop I am getting a rattle and vibration. It never does it any other time except when taking off in first gear. Is my clutch getting weak or is it my gear ratio or something else? I just bought the jeep and it has a 4 inch lift with 33's and i...
