    Recently installed a side marker light following a fender chop. Passenger side works perfectly, but the driver side (although it has good contact and I did the white to black thing) is not working. What's more is that now the front marker light on the driver side is also not working. It will...

    Wheel Weights on Inside

    I just had new ProComp 97 steel wheels put on this morning and driving back I got some speed related feedback (wobbles) around 40 mph. I realize (from reading other threads) that this is a tire balancing issue. I asked them to not put any weights on the exterior of the wheel (they are black...

    Whats the next best exhaust?

    I have seen the recommendations about the Dynomax Evolution but am wondering what everybody's second (or first) choice may be. I have a 2-door and would like a setup designed for it but I dont mind cutting. I have also read some states won't pass your exhaust for inspection if it dumps before...

    Need help! Front axle trouble.

    Just drove from Fort Bragg to Fort Rucker and towards the end of the trip I noticed a faint metal knock that slowed as the vehicle slowed and sped up as it sped up. I pulled over and saw no contact for the wheels, tires with the body. When I finally arrived at Rucker I found that my right...

    Noob Tire Questions

    Here are two admittedly NOOB questions about tires: 1) I am trying to decide between 33 and 35 on my 2-door JKR. Is 34" a good tire? Is there something weird about 34" that nobody wants? 2) My rig is an 08 (I just got it a few months ago) and has 32" Firestone Destination M/Ts on it. What is...
