While I had the dash off, I replaced the two front 4x6” speakers. One of them was blown. $8.42 each at RockAuto. The connector was different so I also had my kid solder the factory connector to some spade connectors.

I’m trying to finish this heater/vent project and saved the worst for last. One of the plastic channels that guides the cable had been broken, and then one of the rollers that mount to the cable broke. I had my 19 year old design and 3d print some replacement parts. He also has some...

Ok thanks I’ll look up in that area!

I’m refreshing the heater and can’t figure out how the two vent cables attach to the control levers. The FSM says the right cable controls the left one, but there are no pictures and I don’t see how that happens. I have the cable that goes to the left vent door, with a functioning length...

I flushed the core multiple times with the garden hose from both sides. The water would flush clean, then at the end come out quite red/brown. I was considering just replacing it, but since it’s not leaking and I’m replacing the coolant on schedule I’m hoping it will last. I had to open up the...

While everything is apart, might as well improve the looks. The housing was gray and discolored; the metal bits rusty. Before: After Also, I drilled out the broken rivets on this bracket, and found some bolts that fit perfectly.

I might try something like Thermocure before I put in new coolant. I don’t think I have a major rust problem because there are no particles in the drained coolant, and there’s no overheating; in fact, the engine is quite slow to get up to temperature, even though I put in a new Stant thermostat...

Last year after I got the Jeep i used 50/50 green Prestone / distilled water. The old coolant was rusty brown, so I should probably just flush it again and replace the fluid.

The coolant coming out of the heeater core is pretty rusty. I just flushed the whole system last year. Can the heater core be rusting internally or am I just seeing rust from the block?

I thought it would be good to spread out the force so the cable doesn’t crack the whole housing.

My main problem is that the bracket anchoring the blend door broke off the housing. Any ideas on the a good way to reattach? Maybe small bolts/nuts?

I’ve tackled the heater/vent rehab. I found some nice photos of the location and number of studs attaching the assembly to the firewall (apparently there are 4). My flexible defroster duct is disintegrating; hopefully there’s a simple replacement for that.

he means “if it were an auto, it would bother me less” And yes, the offset seat is just one quirk among many. Part of the charm!

lots of DIY options on the sister site: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/snubbed-by-the-snubbers.28828/ https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/spare-tire-snubber-extensions.62043/

The only thing Ive seen is adjust it to fit your top. On their soft top instructions Bestop includes a measurement. Check out their site and the downloadable instructions.

Not much happening to the YJ recently; just driving and enjoying it. I do need to pull the dash and get the heat/vent system in working condition, but I haven’t decided whether to install A/C so that’s on hold. I did have a seat belt lock up permanently, so I got a set of 4 replacements from...

I stumbled across this site https://craftcustoms.com/jeep-steering-wheel-and-dash-trim/ a few months ago. They seem to have experience and might be able to help.

I mean, at this point it’s hypothetical so cost isn’t a big factor yet.

If I’m going to put lockers in for rocky trails, isn’t it best to use selectable in both axles?

Has anyone done a SYE? Based on videos I’ve watched it looks fairly straight forward. Then a custom DC driveshaft. It might be nice to do that regardless and get rid of the drop pucks.
