Looking for Recommendations
Like TJKJ said. Pay a little more and get a good belt. Also, do both pulleys and tensioner while you are there. When one of my pulleys went bad (I have an 06) I decided to replace them both. After going to three different parts stores, I found nobody stocked, and some of them didn't even...- Uncle Krusty

Keyless Entry - Do I Have It?
richar43, Your key/fob is different from the older style seperate ones. Those of you with the earlier "FOB" style systems have it made. A new fob for $20.00, get an extra key cut whenever you need... Life must be good. My '06 has the "FOB" incorperated as the top part of the key. This...- Uncle Krusty

Simple Storage Idea
Look around some - several different makers for large boxes like these. I have several made by CONTI (if I remember correctly). I'm thinking I only paid $20-$25 each, and they are stackable. Strong enough that I've gone 5 high in the garage with them. I keep all my camping gear in these...- Uncle Krusty

06 rene grille guard????
Typically the problem with using a grill gaurd on a Renny is that you must sacrifice the tow hooks as this is typically where most of the guards mount. Also, most guards are not built for much more than "light use" and will not provide any type of mounting locations for tow hooks, or even...- Uncle Krusty

Wow, just put in a yellow top!
It may not be a "yellow" top, but I've had a good ol' Red top in my full size Dodge for over 7 years - in Arizona. I've yet to have to clean the terminals, or even studder when starting... Ok, there was one time it died when I accidently left the cargo light on - for a couple days. 3 hours on...- Uncle Krusty

Spare set of rims for my KJ 2003
You may be able to run a stock set of steel wheels of the Wrangler as well. even if they are 15". I don't think the 15" cast wheels will work though as they won't clear the front calipers. 15" wheels aslo open up an even greater selection of cheeper tires in all types...- Uncle Krusty

renegade owners?
Not to offend anyone, but I've always thought the "pretend" rivets made the Rennys (or anything else) look cheep. that just my opinion, and probably not even worth $.02. I suppose you could drill them out and use some good socket head bolts in there place, but how would you get the nuts on...- Uncle Krusty

OME vs. Daystar Ride Quality - Imperical Results
I see only one thing that taints you results in comparing the Springs vs. Spacers. You changed the shocks. Changing the shocks may not seem like much, but it does turn it into a apples / pears (not quite oranges) comparrison as the two shocks are more than likely valved differently. I...- Uncle Krusty

Sigh Electrical
I had a severe flooding problem years ago with an older Ranchero (Ford version of the Chevy El Camino. These where pick-up/car hybrids for those of you to young to remember...). It turned out that when it was painted (previous owner) a hole at the base of each door had been sealed up. These...- Uncle Krusty

HOW TO: 'Band-aid' a shot Steering Rack Bushing
Here's something you might try.... I'm not sure on the overall dimensions you need, but you can buy the older Jeep (CJ series) body mounts that are made from the same poly-whatever used for your Daystar lift. They are 2" in diameter, and a little over 1/2" thick, with a 1/2" hole...- Uncle Krusty

How to adjust park brakes
With the 4-wheel disc brakes, you have a small set of drum brakes mounted inside the drum shaped center of the rear rotors. There is no way to inspect these without removing the rotor. Adusting can only be done with the brakes fully assembled - just like any other brake set-up. If I...- Uncle Krusty

Post Lift Alignment Question
Just had mine done post new lift (OME springs only). They were able to hit the camber and toe, but the caster was just under. What's that mean? Caster is what keeps the vehicle going straight (or returns it to straight) when you let go of the wheel. I was told I probably wouldn't...- Uncle Krusty

I sleep in the KJ all the time, and I'm 5'10" - oh wait, you said the back!!!! Like I said, I can pull off a nap while the wife drives quite easily (sometimes it's better that way :rolleyes:) but to try sleeping in the back would be a whole new adventure I'm not ready to try at my age.
