    Whistling TJ

    1056269 Thanks, I'll look into it tomorrow... Might very well be leaky vacuum lines, somehow doubt the previous owner maintained the truck very well :)[addsig]

    Mirror Laws and Solutions?

    1061540 I looked at the links and dredged up info about door-hinge insert and clamp style mirrors... Looks like that might be the way to go. Might try digging up some old worn-out CJ mirrors and chopping them up to fabricate an insert-type mirror as well, sounds like a fun project. Thanks...

    Seat position in CJ5

    1045675 Yup, knees on the dash. No tilt wheel or seat adjustment at all either. I'd eventually replace the stock seats with shoulder-harnessed full backs (safety), but even then I'm afraid I'd suffer from a bit of cramping. I'll tolerate it if I have to, but I'd feel a bit more peace of mind...

    What kind of jeep is in the movie "TREMORS"?

    1046349 It's a Comanche, but it's light blue (at least in the first movie)[addsig]

    '99 TJ Dash

    1046612 Looks like an aftermarket radio- could just be that somebody loosened things up and didn't properly tighten them back. I'll check and see. Thanks for the tip![addsig]

    TJ dash access

    1048983 Screwdriver worked like a charm, finally got into the radio and got it wrapped in foam rubber. Jeepin's a heck of a lot more fun when that thing isn't bouncing around in there rattling. Next project is going to Lowe's to get the tools to rip apart the driver's seat and find out what's...

    Seat position in CJ5

    1045630 I've been toying with the possibility of buying a '78 CJ5 for the past week or so. Renegade, 304 V8, 3 speed manual, soft top. Needs some paint and a bit of work, but I love it. Only problem: 6'2", and the non-adjustable lowback seat makes things a bit cramped. Any way to remedy...

    '99 TJ Dash

    1046495 Just got a '99 TJ. Beautiful Jeep... Black soft top, 4 cyl., 5 spd, ~60,000 mi. I love it to death (went offroading for the first time today, amazing...), but I had a question about the dash- there's a knocking vibration from the center/left dash area up high if the engine RPM is...

    TJ Door Handle

    1048128 Ugh. Went out to Jeep yesterday, unlocked, pulled on driver's side door handle- it went *pop* and the handle moved out. Door refused to open- handle swings freely except that it won't move all the way back into the door. How do I fix this? And what's wrong? Any help would be MUCH...

    TJ dash access

    1048912 I feel stupid for asking this, probably be something really obvious... I know to get to the radio compartment you pop the defroster vent up, remove the screws, and take out the ashtray screw- but how does one go about getting the defroster vent to pop up? Can't seem to figure out...

    Whistling TJ

    1056264 99' Wrangler, 70k mi... Engine whistles at about 1000 rpm, mainly while the truck is decelerating and the clutch is in- and it stops (or fades out) after the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Keeps whistling @ idle on cold mornings, less prevalent when humid/warm... New (and tight)...

    Mirror Laws and Solutions?

    1061279 Full doors on a 1999 soft top... Looking for an easy way to run doorless legally. Tried mirror-mover brackets, but the paint under the factory mirrors is seriously screwed up by the rubber pad and I'm a bit vain about the Jeep's appearance when it's all together. Kind of need a cheap...
