    Big drop in mileage

    The Throttle Position Sensor is simple to change, did mine when I got the same diagnostic code as you. This is a pretty common failure. I found one at RockAuto.com. for between $30-$43 depending on which brand/model you choose. 93 Octane is not required in your Jeep and will provide no...

    Stuck In 4L

    I fianlly got tire of constantly having problems with the OEM shift linkage and installed a Novak shifter assembly for the NV241OR. Without a doubt this is one of the best investments I've ever made on my rig and if you knew how much money I've spent you'd know this is saying a lot. Novak's...

    Roll Cage & Sun Visor

    Mine are still mounted in original locations and work as well as they did before. Usually I just use a velcro strap to tie mine to the crossbar of the cage and use it for a shelf.

    Is this steering stabilizer leaking?

    'Bout the only help here was for a post count, heh? I'll remember to seek your advice next time I need help.

    Ideal Tire Pressure

    Sure, you've got the sidewall flexing a lot and more susceptible to rips and punctures. However, that is why there really is no "magical" recommendation as to tire pressures in that it depends on variables such as vehicle weight, terrain, and the tires themselves. Starting with the tires...

    Ideal Tire Pressure

    I'd wheel my original 31" Goodyear MTR's w/o beadlocks at 12-15 psi, even down to 10 psi once in a while depending upon terrain and how much ground clearance I could sacrifice. Of course they were Load Range E and pretty stiff sidewalls. Now that my 35's are "locked" and the rig is lifted it's...

    Which axle is this?

    My guess is also a Dana 35. As for is it worth swapping in, I see your intrests in it but you're already running 35" Terra Graplers? (1) 4.10 gears are probably too tall for your 35" Terra Grapplers. I have 35's and run 4.88 gears while a lot of guys even run 5.13's. (2) With the tires you...

    Should the headers wiggle?

    No wiggle wanted. On my '03 the header bolts are notorious for loosening over time. Last time I worked on my exhaust system the whole damn thing was about ready to fall off. The header bolts are a pain to get to without a good set of swivel sockets. Working with the Jeep up on a rack is also...

    Durabak liner ????

    I used DuraBak on my Poison Spyder Ricochet Rockers. Awesome. Durable. Hell on your legs sliding in and out of the rig. Would I do it again? You bet. As Bobcat481 said, PREPARATION is the key to success. If you spend more time applying the DuraBak than you do preparing the surfaces to...

    Where does it go?

    I hear what you're saying but have no problem with the previous owner's choice to dispense with various items as long as he willing to deduct the replacement cost for his asking sale price. Rear seats are fairly optional but a front passenger seat is certainly something most folks are going to...

    Sorry, I didn't even realize we were looking for CJ parts. My bad.

    shopping list

    For OEM stuff online I like Jeep Wrangler accessory and original Jeep parts and accessories - only from Jeepsareus.com For a little wider selection of OEM manufactures I go to RockAuto Auto Parts.

    Hard Lessons Learned

    Payments were made at various stages and in all honesty, the work looked like it was going okay on those ocassions I dropped in to check and of course, the line of BS kept assuring me everything was hunky-dory. Remember, this guy has been in business for many years and has a well-known...

    Hard Lessons Learned

    After 18 months, “Stinky” is finally back in fighting form; not just ready to wheel but wheel in confidence! However, it has been after many long, frustrating, and expensive lessons learned that she’s ready to roll again. Some may remember that I had a fire under my Jeep while it was...

    Fire Extinguisher TJ Roll Bar??

    How you mount it depends on the size of the extinguisher. A lot of extinguishers come with their own mounts and you can either screw them on the roll bar or use heavy tie-straps. Small diameter extinguishers can be mounted in pouches with Velcro straps. You can get fancier with these billet...

    Jeep exploded view?

    It's not going to be an exhaustive illustrated parts breakdown but at least somewhat of an exploded view is the "Replacement Parts" sections of the Quadratec and 4WD.com (4Wheel Drive Hardware) catalogs. You can go online and see what I'm talking about then order their catalogs for a larger...

    Paint my top?

    Jesse, check out the Grizzly Grip can and see what it says it needs for a primer, if any at all. That would be your best guide but I would think that if you knock down all visible surface shine on the existing paint, that should be enough for the stuff to adhere to.

    Online Vendors - buyer beware

    All of my on-line purchases are paid for with a credit card. California credit law (and I assume it is the same in many states as well) says that if I did not get the item I paid for, it doesn't work as advertised, is of inferior quality, etc., etc., I can request in writing that the charge be...

    What should I do next?

    Without a doubt a good roll cage, if you didn't do this first. Then I'd be looking at good bumper/recovery point upgrades and maybe some protection for the all-too vunerable area underneath the doors. Some kind of rock sliders, whatever suits your fancy. How you doing for skids underneath...

    Got my Jeep and completed my first project

    I haven't said it yet but "welcome to our world," and good thinking for a solution all of us with hardtops face at one time or another. I also don't have room in the garage for hardtop storage but I have one of those racks that holds it in a vertical position. Unfortunately, with the top on...
