Short answer: Just spend some money and get slider windows. You save yourself lots of time and trouble. Read the long answer for 'why.' Long answer: My YJ has tinted rear windows. The way they do it is, they take the base clear vinyl when it is still a molten liquid and they inject tint...

Will do! Thanks BH! That's an awesome idea that would save me about $100 on OEM replacement or $225 on the manual pull-cable kit. Will this cause any mechanical problems in my front diff down the road if it's always engaged? Will both front wheels always want to turn at the same rate? Also, if...

Okay so yesterday I got up under there and wrenched around a little. I decided to take off the shift fork housing. First bolt I tried to break loose actually did break :D So that's the head off one bolt. I took the other three bolts out successfully and I couldn't get that bastid to budge. I...

Thanks! Haven't switched them yet, but probably will soon. Any recommendations for good 4x6 speakers?

Yeah... I don't know what is going on. When I shift into 4WD and start moving, the 4WD indicator doesn't light up. Ever. I've tried on road and off road. It's also not the bulb for the indicator because I pulled the gauge cluster out and switched the bulb with a new one, still no dice. So ...

Congrats on getting a Rio Grande! And about power... just read this post: http://www.jeepz.com/forum/cj-yj-tj-jk/26528-2-5l.html

Wow, that's an amazing deal. Congrats!

Quoted for truth. If you want more power, start with the electric fan conversion. Then work your way to a larger-bore throttle body. After that, get a cold air, short ram, or snorkel intake to accommodate the larger-bore TB. Then go with a header-back exhaust system if you can find one...

Oh... well, good advice nonetheless :D

My friend Thomas has a TJ with a 2" budget boost and 33"x12.5" BFG's. He does pretty good even offroad, but I don't know if his rims are backspaced or anything like that. His wheels do go up into his fender wells offroad but I've never heard them rub. EDIT: Also, he has a Dana 44 in the rear. I...

It should. I6 will be okay for the most part. I4, you'll never see 5th again. I already have a hard time keeping it rolling in 5th gear and I'm on 31's.

Win! Thanks a bunch! Those cylinders were already bad before I got rear-ended. They just got worse after the accident, and need to be replaced.

Well thanks, I'll keep that in mind, but that's the brake system and it already works pretty good on my Jeep. I really just need a clutch slave cylinder for under $600.

The body shop my Jeep is in called last night. They had a transmission shop check out my transmission and drivetrain components just to make sure they held up when I got rear-ended. Everything is mechanically sound but the brake master and clutch slave cylinders both need to be replaced. The...

Well, I have a YJ, so I'm biased towards YJ's. I prefer the square headlights. Whatever you do, DON'T get one with a 2.5L if you plan on lifting it AT ALL. Also, you should know that the 2.5L is not more fuel efficient than the 4.0L, they will both net you roughly the same mileage. The pro is...

Your 4wd engagement problem comes from the vacuum line that controls it. You need to replace that vacuum line or convert it to a cable. The cable is the better solution but the kits aren't cheap ($125 and up.)

That's awesome, I had no idea. But yeah, I know what you mean with the transmission confusion, us manual owners have the same confusion (AX5 or AX15, etc.) With the auto, how is your power and gas mileage? I'm just curious. I get probably 17mpg on the highway and I can barely stay up to speed @...

That whistling noise says one thing to me. It's either an exhaust leak or a serious vacuum leak. Either or both will cause you to lose power. My YJ is suffering from the same power loss problem after getting rear-ended, the force of it broke something in my exhaust system. I plan to replace the...

Wow, you have a Rio Grand with an automatic? Now THAT'S rare! Mine did actually come with a stock radio. I swapped it out for a Sony Xplod MP3/WMA CD player. The stock speakers aren't bad once you get a decent headunit in there.

Ahh, I'm sorry, I really thought you'd be able to find an OEM-style assembly on those sites. In that case, I'd start looking at junkyards. It's a long shot but you never know what you'll find.
