It was actually a common swap on TJs to switch to an 11 blade Ford Explorer fan and HD fan clutch. Now that makes some noise. Also moves a ridiculous amount of air.

Most HO alternators come with a smaller pulley, so you'll need a shorter belt. Fortunately there are hundreds of different serpentine belts available so that becomes relatively easy. I'm actually ordering a new F150. I totally would buy the hybrid for the inverter, but they only offer it in a...

Also make absolutely sure you do the Big 3 wiring upgrade. This means a bigger wire from alternator to battery positive, alternator/engine case to ground, and body ground to battery. All parts of the circuit must be able to handle the maximum amperage of the alternator and any potential loads...

This is what Mike Singer quoted me about 2 years ago when I was looking into an HO alternator for my 2006 TJ. Given inflation and COVID related parts costs, I would expect somewhat higher prices now. These are for brand new alternators made from new Denso cores.

Check out Advance Custom Carpets: https://www.accmats.com/commerce/1994/Jeep/Wrangler/Flooring/18092/ There are a lot of colors to choose from with the Cutpile carpet, including eight or so different greens. (Be sure to expand the list.) There is one called Sage Green that might be close to...

I’ve dealt with several HO alternators. I recommend reaching out to the following three companies: https://www.singeralternators.com/ https://www.dcpowerinc.com/ https://www.mechman.com/ Those three companies routinely build alternators up to 370 amps for most cars, and I’ll bet at least one...

Most online stores make you specify A/C or no A/C and power steering versus no power steering. Most belts have part numbers that describe the length of the belt in inches and number of ribs. Here's a screenshot from RockAuto: So for example the Dayco belt for no AC and no PS is 5060695, which...

I run the Sony MEXM100BT marine stereo in my TJ. It has a significantly more powerful built in amplifier than the average head unit (40w vs 22w RMS per channel) and can easily keep up with outside noise. It is single DIN and mounts like any similar stereo, though you may need to run an...

Here is a more thorough method from the TJ forum: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/how-to-align-your-jeep-wrangler-tj.85/ Your steering geometry is a little different, but the principle is the same.

You can pretty much do it in your driveway. Toe and steering wheel alignment are easily done by adjusting the drag link and tie rod. Use a tape measure and get the tires roughly 3/16" closer together in the front than the rear. Measure off of a common point on the tread. Caster is rarely...

Unless that red wire happens to be a poorly colored ground wire, it, nor anything else metal on it, should touch any metal component in the Jeep. It could be shorting out and draining the battery faster than the alternator can recharge it. If it gets bad enough, it could start a fire (even with...

Most BMB kits are good for 1990-2006 jeeps. Here is the list of kits: https://www.shop.blackmagicbrakes.com/VANCO-Big-Brake-Kits-15-16-Super-16-and-17_c84.htm If you don't plan to go larger than 33s, stick with the 15" kit or even just overhaul the stock brakes and add BMB pads. The 15/16" kits...

There are quite a few variations of top and door combinations. For the most part, you could buy a Jeep with a soft top, hard top, or both. The tops are all cross compatible with all YJs. Regarding the doors, you could get half steel doors or full steel doors. The half steel doors do not have a...

A 2-2.5" lift and 31" tires would make it look quite sporty without breaking the bank, in my opinion

Here is an aftermarket solution: https://www.novak-adapt.com/catalog/shifters/sk2x/kit-sk2x/ Never used it myself but their cable shifters have great reviews

Here's another option: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/how-to-install-hyundai-tiburon-seats-in-a-jeep-wrangler-tj.2997/

Does it sound somewhat normal when it keeps running? Or does it sound like it is dieseling? Here is an example of dieseling:

Try putting the front driveshaft back in and removing the rear driveshaft and see if it continues. Put it in 4WD when you do so so that you are driving in front wheel drive. If the clunk continues, it's probably related to the transfer case, transmission, or other upstream component. Inspect...

I personally wouldn't use them. The plastic will eventually fatigue and they will separate over time. They would likely last for a while though. It's unlikely they would fail immediately, but over time a noticeable gap would probably appear. The best permanent method would be to use rivet...

I have the Rock Hard 4x4 rear tire carrier bumper on my TJ and highly recommend it. https://www.rockhard4x4.com/product_p/rh-2001-c.htm It is very heavy duty, and doesn't rattle or sway. It has recovery points, tow-rated receiver hitch, carries a 38 inch spare tire, and comes with mounts for...
