    Hardtop Seal

    Hi Phatty, I did use the foam tape commonly sold to form a seal between a pickup truck bed and a cap. The tape is sticky on one side after you peel off the paper. I stick the tape on the underside of the hardtop flange and then lower the top onto the Jeep. I happened to buy the tape at a...

    Rim protection

    Hi-Ya, ecor, I dunno...seems like a good idea from the perspective of a New Yorker familiar with winter related rim damage, but also one of those things that you want to "see it to believe it." I will state that unless one has very expensive rims, $49.00 a shot seems way too high a price. The...

    Wiring question/problem

    Hi-Ya 90Xjay, Yes, you could indeed have a bad relay. Relays fail, just as all other gizmos might fail. For what it might be worth, here is how I added TJ fog-lights to my CJ: Wired as shown above: (1) Fog-Lights illuminate only when headlights are on. (2) Switch-2 wiper down, fog-lights...

    has anyone read the letter micheal moore wrote to bush?

    Which GPS? The danger a larger than force-3 hurricane might pose to New Orleans has been documented since the 1920s. Therefore, along with the current President, and a few living ex-presidents, we need to dig up the remains of a host of dead presidents and kick their bones too. Here is a...

    What President Bush's reply to Cindy Sheehan should say.

    possible axle swap candidates I can’t help but wonder why the IQs of Kerry and Bush are being argued before the debate has raged as regards correlation of IQ and past academic achievement as reliable predictors of performance as President of the United States of America. Is there an...

    Aging Jeep- For 2000 and up jeep owners

    Colorado Trail suggestions Hi-Ya, LJF, While at the dealer/service department, you might ask about the details of buying an extended warranty. Extended warrantys come in more flavors than HoJo's had flavors of ice cream, so one has to be careful about their purchase. As regards a good spring...

    Short in Cig Lighter socket?

    RE: Re: RE: Stalls ,no spark Hi-Ya, Sparky, Too many possibilities to suggest a cause. So much for elegant solutions. It is time to kneel before the Goddess, Expedience. Try wiring the radio to a new (independent) source of power: preferably directly to the battery. You mentioned something...
