Yeah so, as the title suggests, last night I took my TB of my 97 TJ into work and machined out the taper.
Easy as shooting monkeys in a barrel to do (Yes Its EASIER than shooting FISH in a barrel!) :hammer:
Have noticed a nice change in both acceleration from standing start AND pulling up hills!
I highly recommend it as one of the first TJ mods!

Is it true that post 98 TJ`s have a larger air intake manifold capacity?
And will it bolt too a 97?

Here is a decent writeup of the later model intake.

Thanks to Go-jeep for that information.

I have a spare throttle body if anyone wants to buy it and then get it modified without needing to remove theirs from their jeep.

cheers
