My passenger side door doesn't stay open either! It's missing the "helper" thing that the driver's side has...don't ask me where it went. Lol

And now, i apparently, i drained my BRAND NEW battery when i was installing the speakers, and so we tried to jump it, but we think the alternators f*cked up because the jeep won't hold a charge. Any other ideas about what it could be? Any tips are appreciated.

As for tires if you never want to be stuck and you want to be the envy of all your friends get some mickey Thompson baja claws
You won't see bad reviews on a mucky Thompson tire. They have some of if not the highest standards in the industry when it comes to manufacturing they're tires.

Pop the alt off and take it to be tested. It very well could be bad. The battery won't take a charge when you try and jump it though?

So, we tried jumping it again, asnd this time, it started! so i pulled it around and parked it in the front yard. I got done vacuuming it, and when it tried to turn over, it started clicking like the alternator was going out, and then lost all voltage so looks like i'll be ordering another alternator tomorrow

No, i haven't tried that, but my dad said to do the same thing. But, my momma said that whenever her alternators went bad, it made a clicking sound when it tried turning over, and that's what mines doing. So today, i'm gonna try to get the alternator tested, if i can get that S.O.B. out

Also with a low voltage at your battery you can get the clicks...have you been able to jump it and let it run for a little?
