    OBD Code P0432 Sanity Check

    I replaced all 4 O2 sensors with NTK. O2 sensors seem to be reading normal, as expected. Cold start, both downstream sensors read 1V After warm up, upstream sensors fluctuate between .1 and .8 while driving Both upstream and downstream drop to 0V on coasting. Code comes back. Before I dump...

    What's on your winter upgrade / TODO list?

    For some reason I'm more motivated to work on the Jeep in the fall / winter than I am in the spring /summer. Probably because I'm more willing to give it some downtime when the top is on! I've got a small list this year * Downstream O2 sensors (just arrived yesterday, hopefully can avoid...

    Whats the final verdict on fender flare restoration?

    Plastic Paint? Prime? Brands? Mine (rubicon) are in excellect shape except for the finish. Dull, faded, a couple scuffs but no gouges. Thinking of removing them, cleaning up under them and refinishing them. What works well and whats not worth the time?

    Help With Selling on Ebay

    Reminds me of the time my boss, the CIO, got upset because I gave her a 2 page report to read, in detail. This is IT - so specifics matter, detail matters, and overexplaining is standard to avoid confusion. She said just give me the bullet points. So I literally bullet pointed every sentence...

    Help With Selling on Ebay

    Ebay is again severing ties with paypal. Entering a checking account for deposits is now how ebay pays out. I've easily sold $50k on ebay over the years. But I pretty much stopped a few years back as the fees kept going up, the seller protection became almost non-existent (they almost always...

    Lots of people selling TJs because of high fuel prices

    Well... my other car is designed for ON road. It's a MUCH better commuter than the TJ in every respect. I take the TJ to work on the nicest of summer days with the top down on occasion though. That's fun.

    Looking for feedback and suggestions on my 97 2.5 build

    My recommendation anyone building or looking to modify a jeep is to to go drive it and enjoy it. It will tell you what it needs next. Take care of all the maintenance and service items on your list first. The oil pan leak - where is it leaking? It's often a rear main seal leak that is wetting...

    What did previous owner do with these holes?

    This is what happens when you clean your TJ TOO good. You can see how 'nice' they are built!

    Replaced Headlights with Truck-Lite Knockoffs

    Boy you guys really derailed this conversation. Let's get back on track. Hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel on the headlight project. Anyways, sorry for the puns, just needed to blow off some steam.

    Sounds about as expected for a used 20 year old car. Nice work!

    Replaced Headlights with Truck-Lite Knockoffs

    That is the style cheapo's I have. They are going on 3 years or so now and haven't failed. I don't drive the rube at night much, so they don't get much use. They are bright!

    What did you do to your other vehicle today?

    I removed the hood liner in the R. A mouse has been chewing it up. Now I'm paranoid there is a mouse going to eat the wiring....Suggestions besides throwing a couple cats under the hood before driving?? Also, I was able to find firmware updates for the R infotainment system that seems to have...
