Technical Advice and Questions / Re: Rotors....

« on: April 03, 2014, 03:17:34 pm »

 I found the best thing to do is go to NAPA get their best rotors and pads. These work much better than stock. Turning my rotors only helped for a little while then the problems came back. May cost a few bucks more for the NAPA set but well worth the money.

Technical Advice and Questions / Re: Issues with installation of TJ Fender Flairs

With the rear flares you have to pull the inner wheel well liner down by removing the plastic plugs that hold it in place. You can then get to the nut plates and hold them with pliers.   ON the front screw by the door you may be able to cut the head off the screw to get the flare off then you may be able to hold the insert and drill it out. Good luck   working in a parking lot isn't easy.

I am running the Flaspaq in my 06 Wrangler and it does make a difference. I did find that I have to use 89 fuel even on the 87 setting or I get a knocking at low RPMs. It also corrected the speedometer and can be used to check eng. codes.

Check out the Superchips web site and I think you will find that it will adjust the trans on JKs but not on TJs .

Check on the Jeep web site under OWNERS and you should be able to pull up an owners manual. Good luck! Note:there were a lot of changes from the early 97s to the latter 97s !

Something doesn't sound right. 4 bangers came with 4:10 gears and I don't think you could get a 44 in them either. Check for tags on the rears if they were changed going to 3:73s was a mistake. Look it over good!

Technical Advice and Questions / Re: Broken rear window zipper?

« on: September 13, 2009, 09:39:57 am »

 This is what Bestop says to try. Look at the slider part of the zipper if it looks like it is spread apart  Use pliers to press the slider part of the zipper together untill the top and bottom are parallel. I have done this and it works.

Yes it will fit. They did change a few things but if you have the complete top you shouldn't have a problem.

I have always run 15x8 wheels with 33-12.50s and have never had any problems. I feel I get a little more side wall bulge that helps protect the wheel.

 Check the one that is marked IOD. Depending on the vehicle that fuse may cut out the radio but it would also kill some other stuff.

  I take it you have checked the fuse behind the glove box but also check the fuse/relay box under the hood.

Technical Advice and Questions / Re: rebuild rear

« on: November 03, 2007, 07:26:02 pm »

 Rear is most likely a 35 but a lot of TJ's did have 44's. Look at the tags on the cover and it will tell you which rear you have and the gears. Rebuild is the best and cheapest way to go,and also good time to add locked.
