What front seats did you go with? My driver is a bit broken down - I've thought about putting new foam in, but never did anything. New seats sound alot easier.

That one photo looks good, but I think photos of the frame would really tell the tale. Get some frame shots. $7000 is alot for a 1999, but it could be worth it if done nicely.

I recently got back from my Jeep trip with the boys, we had a great time, hitting both Rausch Creek and AOAA in Pennsylvania. I picked up a badge of honor at Rausch Creek (we had never been there), but I think that AOAA was voted the better park. I was the only one to not get any damage - one...

I use this stuff and like it https://www.amazon.com/Star-Brite-Zipper-Lubricant-Protectant/dp/B0014489WM I've heard of people rubbing chapstick on the zippers. I've found that everything with a softop is easier if they are warm. Try parking it in the garage if that's an option. Be careful if...

I took this offroading in PA, and I'm going to say that it's a pass now. It beeps all the time - just tanking the off-ramp on the highway will have it beeping. I've found that when I'm really off camber on the trail, I know it's bad, and having this beeping just adds to the stress. at AOAA we...

Now you're speaking my language. I pay for the membership so when the sale first started I picked up this nice impact set at 35% off. I removed the pins on the hinge and it fits nicely in my cabinet. Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk

There's only two buttons on it - one to reset the angle, and another to dim the brightness. You get what you get as far as the alarm angles. It does make a sound when you rotate too far - I can just hold it in my and and tilt it until the alarm sounds. It's what you'd expect for $29. Not...

I'm getting ready for my yearly off-road trip so I had to find some more gadgets to add to my Jeep. I found this inclinometer on Amazon and it actually seems pretty cool. I mounted it in my Jeep using a removable GoPro mount so I'm not going to keep it there all the time. So far so good. We'll...

You had to scare the coil into thinking it was being replaced.

Post up some pics!

1994 XJ with a 4.0L right? Does your coil look like this one: https://www.ebay.es/itm/197028692720 if so, I think this is the test procedure:

It looks like the Willys is going to be a cheaper version ($71,990) than the Moab ($82,585). It appears that you won't be able to order the Willys until March, and that may mean you have a few months to wait for delivery. I wasn't able to find a good a good comparison between the Willys and...

I order most of my stuff from RockAuto as well. How expensive is it to have parts shipped to Spain? I usually spend $15 or so to have it shipped inside the US.

I finally got it all wrapped up! I am by no means good at this, but I ended up taking the carrier / pinion out at least 25 times - one one Saturday I had the whole thing apart and together at least seven times. I believe my core problem was that the pinion bearing became worn. This allowed...

That's awesome - I'm glad to hear that this mod is still alive and kicking. I remember when I did it to my CJ7 - it made a huge improvement, I imagine the other ignition improvements would really help.
