1043780 I had the same problem when my ’98 Wrangler was under warranty. My original dealer couldn’t find the source of the noise. It was driving me nuts. After three separate visits, I went to a second dealer who told me it is common on the TJ’s. The noise you hear is the...

1043790 No, this is one solid piece and yes it does frame the door. It attaches to the roll cage with a threaded knob, the bottom looks like it is held in place with a pin on the bottom of the rail. I will look for the rubber piece, thanks for the info[addsig]

1045076 I have a 98 TJ and the same thing happened to me last spring. On damp mornings it just wouldn't start. I'd come back at lunch time and it would start normally. As a last resort before I had it towed to a garage I replaced the wires and it made all the difference in the world. Don'...

1053068 I'm looking for suggestions on where I can find a new radiator, current one developed a leak in the corner of the top cap. Repair shops informed me that the new style radiators are too thin to repair (basically throw away), I could not find any new ones at local automotive stores. The...

1057187 I have a 98 TJ, with only 41K miles. and I've broken my second sway bar link. No off road driving, (however I do live in Wisconsin and will play a little when we get a heavy snow). They both broke on the top of the link where the ball joint is. I can't understand how they fail under...
