    OEM soundbar or sound pod installation on a 98 TJ

    Just a quick follow up: Sound bar mounted. Holes exist already in the sport bar however self-tapping screws that come with the sound bar break easily. Discarded and tapped the holes properly. used 1/4-20 hex-head bolts with a little threadlock. Assembled the wiring connector according to...

    New Roll Bar Padding

    just to follow up. Put on the new $79 roll bar pads. They are "ok". Not as sturdy as the OEM but still good enough and suit their purpose. Installation was a breeze, had to remove all seat belts from the bar to do it. Today, installed the OEM sound bar. The colors of the pads and the OEM sound...

    New Roll Bar Padding

    Couple of things...got the new pads, haven't had a chance to put on yet..but they are not the same quality as the OEM pads however, not bad either. They are not exactly Black Denim either as much as they are pure black. Also, about the soundbar...instructions state to install, cut the padding...

    OEM soundbar or sound pod installation on a 98 TJ

    thanks guys. Spoke to my uncle this morning and asked him to pick me up a soundbar. He spoke to his parts dept and they confirmed it does come with a bracket that screws into the roll bar. I opted for the bar instead of the pods for the reasons L33TJ33P stated (the ability to still use a bikini...

    OEM soundbar or sound pod installation on a 98 TJ

    Rooster's Tip of the Day thanks, I think I will go with the soundbar Any chance anyone here with a factory installed soundbar would be willing to walk out to their jeep, pull back the velcro and see if such a bracket exists? The only reason I'm even worried is doing the summer we spend a lot...

    OEM soundbar or sound pod installation on a 98 TJ

    Jeep overcooling? wanted to bump this back to the top...I'm hoping to speak with my uncle in the morning and wanted to tell him 'soundbar' or 'sound pods'... Anybody else got any information? Can/is the jeep OEM soundbar also be bolted/screwed into the roll bar rather than velcro'd?

    OEM soundbar or sound pod installation on a 98 TJ

    I don't have a bikini top. I'm an all or nothing type of guy. Does the jeep OEM soundbar screw into the sport-bar at all or is it attached using velcro? If they both attach via screws/bolts, I'll go with whatever is easiest to install. Maybe the soundbar? Either way, we're going to hardwire...

    OEM soundbar or sound pod installation on a 98 TJ

    some wrangler / cj stuff I searched the forum and haven't really seen this topic or something similar covered before. I have a 98 TJ SE and want to add two rear speakers. And before anyone suggests something other than the OEM options, that is all I am interested in. Not the sound wedges, not...

    Soft top in the car wash?

    they just opened a couple "Hand Car Washes" in my area. I tried one out a couple of weeks ago. a bit dear.. $20 but they did the best wash I've ever seen. They took almost 30+ minutes start to finish. 4 guys working at a time. I swear my jeep felt new. I would go back even at that price. I'm...

    Tap, Tap, Tap

    my 'tap tap tap' usually only starts after the jeep has warmed up. Graewulf, we've talked before...I was the guy who's also having a 'clunk clunk clunk' down in my driveshaft area LOL...you had told me last weekend you would look at it if I was in the area. Grew up in Toms River, live in...

    Tap, Tap, Tap

    I have a similar tap tap tap but happens only at idle and sounds as if it is coming from the serpentine belt. Mine also comes and goes, could go 3-7 days without hearing it. I thought mind was probably just the belt...perhaps I am wrong? Seems to be affected by temperature outside

    thought putting my lift on would be easy...

    TBI question Hey Tug, did you figure out why the right rear had a "pop" post lift? Mine did that too, to me sounded like the plastic bump stop spacer was jiggling over some bumps. I pulled the whole right rear apart again and checked everything and still couldn't find it. At this point, I've...
