Hi guys. Trying to find out what the normal operating temp is for the '97 TJ. During the winter, the temp needle would stay on the 210 mark or a tough below. The last several days running the interstate to work, I noticed the temp would stay on the 0. Is this normal or is the temp running high...

Wheels and new lug nuts installed

Thx Terry! Just to get her cleaned up a bit and keep it stock. The local jeep chapter is coming over the weekend of the 16th to do a wrenching party. We'll be changing out the thermo, radiator, fenders, flares, shocks, and grill insert. This is my DD when the weather is nice

Painted a set of stock steel wheels I got in trade. Before and after pic

Stock Photos after the fog lights were mounted

I purchased a '97 TJ Wrangler in Aug 2014. I'll post the original pics of the jeep and progress of the transformation

Thanks for all the help. Can't wait for the wrenching party in May to get everything done on the jeep

Would you happen to know the guage wire used from the factory? Should I step it up a guage just to be safe?

UPDATE: Got the jeep started and running again. The short red wire from the positive terminal connection to the power distro box was bad. I cut the crimped connector off and there was a ton of corrosion inside the wire jacket. Replaced with a new wire and the jeep fired right up JPNinPA: I did...

Both terminal connections were tight from the last time I had the battery out (even coated them with the anti-corrosion spray) I've been surfing the web to try and find a write-up of all the ground points under the hood. That has been unsuccessful thus far

I'm leaning towards contact sounds only because I removed the 4 relays and there was still clicking in the block One thing I did notice was the radio reset back to factory like the battery was disconnected

JPNinPA wins!! The issue came back last night after I pulled it out of the garage. Left it sit for about an hour then tried to put it back in. Dome light works when the door is open. As soon as you try to start the jeep, everything in the guage cluster dies and the BRAKE light is lit real faint...

I am SO over the sensors in a Jeep...lol. I'll pull it out this weekend and wipe it down to see if it corrects it. Just for S&G, I tried to clear the code and it popped right back up within seconds

There was no paper spacer on either of them when I installed them. I did get a chance to scan the CEL this morning before work and got P0113 - Intake Air Temperature Circuit High Input

HISTORY: About 2 weeks ago this issue occured and I got a CEL for the following code - Intermittent loss of either camshaft or crankshaft position sensor. I assumed it was due to the generic CKP I put in back in Aug '14. The Seller sent me a new one and I installed it last night. and took it for...

The ones in the top rack are the alloy Ranger wheels with brand new tires (CL find). The tires on the jeep have less than 4k miles on them but the rims are trashed (alot of rust and pitting). If anything, I figured this would give me 2 sets to run on the jeep. Should be a couple of years before...

Finally got the 2 tire racks finished today while the kids were at school. Now I can properly store the spare wheels for the jeep and truck

Can dielectric be applied to any connection/termination? Just baffles me that its nonconductive but doesn't affect the connection

Thx Greg92jeepXJ!!! I try to make sure to post resolution on every thread (even when I had 7.3L Powerstroke) in the forums. I get so bent when I read through a 13 page thread yo find out the OP never posted the resolution. dont give me any ideas...lol. I have read some swap threads, but a V8 in...

update: I tore that connection apart and hit it with a sanding wheel on the dremmel to bare metal. There was a lot of corrosion between the nut and first connector and between the 2 positive connections. Everything is a nice shiny metal again. I did smear a little dielectric grease between the...
