I went to post this in the For Sale forum, but I can't figure out access to do so. My apologies. So I am putting it here For sale $45 shipped to US. VERY early 2002 KJ swing gate latch. Not the glass latch. This is the swing gate latch with the vertical torx ***** holes further apart. The...

Its been the better part of a year. Mountain, altitude, and long distance driving. No issues. Hasn't spilled a drop. All the best to you.

At third radiator install I went to a 7 lb cap. I think the caps either get tight/stuck or are out of spec. I do a lot of high altitude driving and was not sure if the 7 lb cap would be sufficient. It only sends a little coolant into the overflow tank after shutoff. No problems so far. No...

OK, but I am in the Valley of Decision on the new Jeep

The offerings are dizzying. But after a LOT of digging through the confusion I concluded the same thing. Willys, not Willys Sport. 39K and change. Add $2500 for auto box. Add another $3500 for four door. Engine is start/stop. Hate those things. Expensive brand. Yikes! What's the...

I am thinking of buying a new Wrangler. Local dealer says they can take a deposit on an order to my specs and get the vehicle built and delivered in about 6 to 8 weeks. They say the factory is highly limited to bespoke orders like this. Looking to get a two door. Mid range of features etc...

This problem comes and goes. Right turn signal clicks real fast some times. When I get out to check things, all fine. The problem goes away. Hmmmm What's happening?

Thanks for the report.

The nice write ups here on replacing the water pump indicate using RTV on re-assy. I don't recall that in the manual nor on the (same) water pump on the 4.7L in my Dakota. Do I apply RTV to the gasket on water pump installation? I may be suffering from CRS, but opinions from the field are...

Yes, you are right. Never thought about those issues. I don't use navigators. I read signs and maps. Old school. And I keep my eyes on the road. Some still do. o_O

This is what I use: https://www.duluthtrading.com/vent-commander-49706.html?cgid=gear-truck-car-organization&dwvar_49706_color=KHA#start=8&cgid=gear-truck-car-organization But instead of hanging it from the vent, I ditched the hook and used a couple of screws and trim washers to fasten it to...

I busted the sun visor retaining clip. Are these the same all years? I will swing by a JY that has some Libs, but I don't know if the clips are different over the years. 02-04 different than 05-07? Any advice?

Mityvac has two. The fancy one for about $97 and the simple one for $32. Harbor Fright sells a kit for about $30. But I'm suspicious of their stuff. What do you suggest? None of my old school compression testers work on the deep spark plug well engines of today. I have a 4.7 and 3.7 and...

Thanks tommudd and Liberty TC. That is what I wanted to confirm by people who actually do it. It has been a routine for my other vehicles, but I was not sure if it would be OK on the 3.7L.

Basically you drive the car like you just stole it. https://www.sgcarmart.com/news/writeup.php?AID=121
