I’ve replaced the rubber seal on the tailgate and I’m finding that the striker needs to move rightward in order to line up with the latch. I installed a new striker a few months ago and it came with one washer, but the parts catalog shows three (all discontinued of course). Can I just use any...

Yes space to park cars is part of the problem. We have a big family and our teens and young adult kids have cars too. I read the JeepAir instructions and it isn’t too daunting. I need to completely remove the heating/vent system anyway to clean and replace cables. Can you comment on whether...

Yes I do have two toys now, which I never thought would happen. The new car is an ‘05 lotus elise. It’s probably similar to a viper in practicality. I do plan on commuting with it 1-2 days a week, but there are some parts of town I visit for work I wouldn’t take it, and it won’t be good in rain...

I’m torn which direction to go. I like the jeep as it is, but it’s not great as a daily driver. Since I got a sports car in January my wife wants me to get rid of either my old civic or the YJ. It’s like having to choose between losing an arm or a leg!

Thanks for the insight; I’ll look into the nostalgic version. I’m beginning the second summer of running the YJ with a bikini top and no doors, but the road noise and heat are getting unpleasant for commuting. Plus I can’t always park in the garage, so it can get rained on by a surprise shower...

I'm thinking about making the YJ more of a daily driver, but if I do, I'll have to get A/C and probably a proper top instead of just the bikini. The JeepAir kit looks quite good and the install looks manageable; can anyone comment on their overall satisfaction? it seems that since it is a...

Thanks for the advice; I looked into it last night. The problem ended up being the latch release rods, not the locking rods. I had never connected the inner lock rod, and the outer lock rod has a lot of play and is not threaded-adjustable anyway. I ended up unclipping the rods from both the...

Lefty loosey… Seriously , you need a T50 socket and one of these: I’d trace around the existing striker so you can locate the new one in the same place. Use some penetrating oil/spray in advance. Good luck

Mine were similar; I decided to just replace them rather than painting such irregular surfaces and sourcing odd springs.

I did mine a month or so ago along with new interior and exterior door handles, and for some reason the lock mechanism now catches when I lock them with the key so I can’t unlock them without prying on the lock from the inside with a flat screwdriver. I can imagine I messed something up on one...

I might have to try that method in reverse; there’s a bit of Spice overspray onto the black that would be nice to clean up someday.

Does the SEM Camel match the existing Spice parts in the dash as well as the photos appear? Or did you just spray everything?

I used a mild polishing compound on the red lens, and it seems fairly bright with both bulbs in place. Not a dramatic mod, but it makes me feel better in traffic, and it’s legal.

I removed about 0.4mm of diameter to fit into the female wire connector with the little sanding drum, and used a cutting wheel to make the narrow part near the end. These posts are aluminum so I won’t have rust in the future. I traced and cut a gasket out of some spare gasket material to...

But my main problem was that it did not come with terminals or grommets to put into the tailgate bracket. I found overpriced Omix grommets on Quadratec, but couldn’t find replacement terminals. I found a thread on the TJ forum where a guy made his own out of furniture bolts and a redneck...

I wanted to install a CHMSL since mine came without one to improve visibility for the fine folks driving behind me and maybe reduce the odds of being rear-ended. I ordered the parts from Deadjeep and probably overpaid. First they lost my order so it was about 6 weeks later that I received it...

Welcome to the forum and the Sahara club! I got my ‘95 Sahara a year and a half ago, same color, Lt Pearlstone. You could buy the stripes/decals from Phoenix graphics if you’re interested. https://www.phoenixgraphix.com/amc/9495wse.php You’ve already done a lot of major work; I wish I had...

Yeah the brake line is just hanging out there with clips attached to nothing. Is it important? Maybe I could fabricate some kind of replacement. Is it metal or plastic?
