Does anyone know what size the Ravines are? I thought 16x8 but, saw them on CL as 15x8. Or do they come in both sizes? Looking to put some stock alloys on my 2000. I would like to keep my tires if possible. They are 235-75/15s. Yokohama says they'll work on 7s or 8s. The 15 or 16 is the crucial dimension. Thanks

Added note: the Yok's look under inflated as is on the 7s. Of course, they are properly inflated. So I feel comfortable with Yokohama's claim that they'll fit 8s.

Anyone know where I can find some of these fasteners? They're the ones that hold the plastic trim panel on to the hatch. I found some at Autozone that fit--they're listed as GM fasteners. Dorman 963-031. I need a bunch of them and Autozone wants $3 for two. I'd like to find them cheaper than that since I need 12 of them but I'll buy them if I have to. Lol. I've done a bit of searching and can't find an alternative to the Dormans.

Can you rephrase that as a question?

Speaker grill removal
I inherited my jeep from my parents. I am not very mechanical, the speakers are factory paper, I want to upgrade te audio but I don't want to damage the grills. Any suggestion to take off the grill? Thanks in advance. Jack

The door panels come off as one piece. Take out all the screws, pull off the window crank, I think you have to take off part of the side mirror bracket, and then work your way around the edge of the panel popping out all the plastic clips that hold it on. Some will break, don't sweat it.

Not sure about the rears cause my '01 had a different interior.

The back covers just pop off, at least they do on my 98 classic

So i'm trying to get my engine and transmission together but its as if the torque converter isn't allowing them to slide completely together. I filled up the converter with a quart of trans fluid then put it in the transmission ("clicked" in two or three times) then attempted sliding it on the engine to bolt the torque converter to flywheel but theirs still a quarter inch crack in between the engine and transmission. The bolts won't tighten all the way and close the gap instead they are trying to pull out the metal pins that the bottom 2 bell housing bolts go into. Its like somethings stopping it from coming together. Should I take them apart again bolt the torque converter to the flywheel then try and line up the transmission again or is their something that's not lining up correctly?
