Graham, In Step 1 of your first post in this topic, after you "Open your glovebox and pull together the parts circled in red while pushing it down further", how exactly do you "simply pull it [the glove box] out"? I have allowed the gove box to open further than normal as in the ...

The great styling and road handling, particularly for a car of this cost. Also, actually the CVT (2.4l). For everyday and weekend on-road driving it transforms the driving experience very positively, once you get used to how it works and how to use it. You need to learn a slightly different relation...

I have been using Shell Optimax since new in my VRX because it made a big difference when I switched from standard unleaded to this premium petrol in my previous car (Magna Altera). In the Magna I experienced a dramatic improvement in responsiveness and smoothness, that continued to improve for seve...

OK, I have had a few weeks of real-world experience with the 300Hz Stebel horn added to my two OEM electric horns, and can now provide some meaningful feedback: 1. Yes, short beeps are still relatively friendly, with the 300Hz air horn not having time to get fully up to speed, which is a nice featur...

VRX_Pete:

Relay comes with horn not harness kit.

My right/left references are relative to your position when you are standing in front of car facing the engine, as when you are working on the front of the car. :)

JaCie: The second horn is down low beside the lower left fog light. I recommend keeping the two oem horns and adding your new air horn, and as someone else commented here, this may be a legal requirement also. If you are just adding a new horn, you only need to remove the black cover plate above the...

JaCe: The CJ uses a standard spade terminal on the upper right horn, which is easy to get to once you remove the black cover plate under the hood. If you use the harness kit from Stebel, it includes the cable connectors you need, including a three-way spade terminate for easily connecting onto the e...

Car Service Damage and Delivery Receipt?

Would you leave $1000 in cash at a business without getting a receipt? How about $20,000 to $50,000? It has become normal for car service centers (Mitsubishi and other) to expect that you will simply leave your pride and joy without so much as a numbered docket to confirm you have left a car at all....

With the basic arrangement shown in the Harness Kit Installation diagram above (which is how I have mine wired), there is only the relay switching delay (negligible) plus the air-horn pressure delay (about 0.1 seconds) before the air horn sound output starts ramping up. When you depress the horn bri...

I went to the trouble of scanning, uploading, and posting the above install docs because when I was doing my pre-purchase research I could not find these on the Internet, but would have liked to have viewed them at that stage. Now that I have the actual units in my possession, I can make them availa...

The 300Hz Stebel electric/air horn is now in and going, and working nicely. I have not yet had need to use it on the road, but the two people that have heard it working along with the two OEM horns report being startled and surprised by its impact. I can now personally verify that while the horn has...

I'm also sorry to hear about your egging incident bungfritz. It seems like the more attractive and well kept a car is, the more of a magnet it is for people wanting to vandalise it and make the owner feel lowsy. You probably have found other posts from CJ owners that have had their car keyed, panels...

Yes, my front air dams are scratched underneath near the middle on both sides, despite my best attempts to avoid doing it. My CJ is also stock height still. There is not much point repainting, as it is nearly impossible to avoid scratching it again in the future. One day I scratched my front air dam...
