    Aftermarket lights and switches

    Panel pulled loose, about 1/2 inch clearance, no real way to measure, and the switch will need over an inch.

    Not enough room behind the plastic piece. I checked.

    Aftermarket lights and switches

    Ok, a few pictures this time. 1st, where I wanted my switches and a secondary location that won't work, and an alternative location, not ideal, but they will mount there. This is where I wanted them, but this is a printed circuit behind these locations. The alternate location will be beside...

    Aftermarket lights and switches

    Well, a long delayed update on my switch wiring. The video was for a later year model then my '08 and the panel the video used was 8 positions wide. mine is 6 wide,(edit: 5 wide) and until yesterday I was all for putting my switches there, but yesterday I found that there is printed circuit...

    How do I fold the seat down on a 08 JKU?

    Nevermind. I found a little loop of a strap coming out of the back of the seat. They lay down nice and flat for me now.

    How do I fold the seat down on a 08 JKU?

    Ok, I bought this used and it has seat covers on. They are nice seat covers and I have not removed them, YET. I am trying to fold the read seats down to make a little more room to transport a 65" TV (used - if it were in a box I wouldn't worry). For the life of me I can not find the release...

    Gascap light

    I found this issue with my evap casiter. The plug must has gotten wet and it was green with corrosion. This picture was after it sat in vinegar for an hour. It's going to be replaced.

    Quiet aftermarket exhaust for 2012 Wrangler JK

    Come spring time I will be putting a "Turbo" muffler on my JKU. It's one step above quiet, but not loud. There are a lot of YT videos showing off mufflers, but I think YT doesn't do service to the actual volume levels.

    Bolt / nut problems

    I watched 2 different YT videos that address the problem I'm having with my windshield bolts. The problem is the captive square nut inside the windshield frame gets rusted onto the bolt and spins with the bolt when you try to remove it. In one video, the owner welded a t-nut onto the inside...

    Bolt / nut problems

    After watching this video, I've decided my pod-lights will have to wait until next summer as winter is not too far away here in north Idaho. As much as I would like to have them my headlights and fog lights will have to do.

    Bolt / nut problems

    Yeah, I agree it is stuck. I can rotate the bolt and "feel" the nut rotating. Grinding off the bolt head is not a problem. but replacing the nut is where my concerns are. I have a nutsert tool and several different metric size nutserts. As this is my first time at removing these bolts, I...

    Bolt / nut problems

    I'm trying to add a bracket for an axillary light, but the circled bolt won't come loose from the nut inside. The nut spins. I can grind the top of the bolt off, but I'm curious about the nut on the inside. How to replace it. I'm going to guess that the windshield has never been folded down and...

    I'll probably do something like this video.
