    2005 TJ windshield frame and bolts seized, broken, extractor snapped off..HELP

    Thanks to everyone for their input. I ended up buying Irwin Cobalt drill bits and drilling out the torx bolts that were stripped. It was a nightmare, but I finally installed my new windshield frame and glass. From now on I will assume that I everything on my TJ is fused together. I will never...

    Hey Everyone, I can hear/feel a light gear grinding when shifting and accelerating from 1st to 2nd on my 2005 TJ w manual trans. I have to be slow/careful pulling it out of 1st and putting into 2nd gear to prevent the grinding sound. It is difficult to accelerate quickly because the faster I...

    Quadratec? Really?

    I'm having an issue with Quadratec right now. I suspect items that are drop shipped from a 3rd party are the ones with problems. The QT website said that my item usually ships within 3-6 business days...but the status on my account never changed. Turns out the item is coming from a 3rd party...

    climate control fan only works on high

    Hey All, I searched for this subject but could not find it in this forum. Sorry if it's been covered before. The ac/heater fan in my 2005 Wrangler only works on the highest setting. I'm guessing it is a relay or a fuse. How do I go about troubleshooting it?...I'm a newbie. Please and thank you.

    Cart before the Horse...a question about spacers/adapters for new set of rims/tires

    Thanks JPNinPA... Yes, I will get an alignment. Yes, the speedo is off. I went past an active radar sign, and I was going 3 to 4 mph faster than the speedo said at 30 mph. Yes, I will torque the spacers from time to time. I do not know if they used loctite, but the place was great...a very...

    Hi, I'm so geeked about my new-to-me 2005 Wrangler TJ. I've only had it a few days and it already has new tires and rims. The black vinyl/plastic body trim panels are sun-faded to a dark gray...and I would like to make them black again. I've read a bit about different products and my instinct...

    First Jeep project ever - adding a hitch to pull a boat

    Hello all, Last night I ordered a CURT 13408 Class 3 Trailer Hitch, and I watched a couple youtube videos on how to install it. I need to buy a torque wrench...and I know that TJ's aren't famous for towing...but my boat is only an 18 foot Bayliner motor boat...and the boat ramp is about a mile...
