Here's the idea for this thread: I'm going to post my 2024 Jeep to-do list and give myself a year to get it all done. I invite others to do the same. In a year we can all come back and post our progress (photo evidence may be demanded) and ridicule each other if we've put projects off until...

I clicked this thread based on the title and thinking there would be recommendations for good dating sites. Slightly disappointed... I have the same issue, actually... Jeep bumps hard over certain dips that don't seem like much until you go over them at 30+ mph. Mildly annoys me, irritates my...

As Blaine said, there's a check valve on the silver fuel filter canister at the top of the pump assembly. When that valve goes (as mine did), you'll get that exact issue. If you wind up having to replace the fuel filter, make sure you buy a quality part. The first time I replaced mine I went...

I wrapped my TJ in June and have been meaning to get around to posting in this thread. The wrap was the last step in a long re-build that was years overdo. LOVE the results. I went with Avery SW900 Supreme Wrapping Vinyl Film Matte Olive Green from Metro Restyling. I ordered 45 ft of wrap and...

Just ruling things out, have you left the top off recently and gotten any rain in the cab?

I'm no expert, but that sounds like a loose or frayed wire, or a bad ground. Did the Jeep continue to run fine during that 10-15 seconds? No loss of power or anything?

Seems like if it's the starter it would have to involve a short or bad connection or something to affect you while driving. While you've got it running, I'd drive to your local AZ/PB/OR/Generic Auto Shop and have them test the batter and alternator. Just because the battery's new doesn't...

I was in a similar situation in that I had a Jeep that had been sitting in my driveway for 10+ years basically never moving, and I was at the point of either selling it or finally building it into something I could enjoy driving. I went the latter route. I eventually opted for 35s because I...

For me that's in the beware of scams or hidden problems category. An extremely low mileage Rubicon with a $3k lift? I'm with the guys above... Check for rust and have a mechanic go over it if you can. If it's been somebody's tow behind it may have another few hundred thousand miles on it. Might...

Are we talking about the Zone Offroad combo kit? If so, I installed one of those a couple of months ago. I had vibrations around 30 or 40. Rather than install washers (which I know works, but just feels like a half-solution to me, but that's just me), I put adjustable rear control arms in and...

Many thanks guys. That makes perfect sense. Now I know how to start getting into it this weekend. 👍

Agreed. Shouldn't be an issue.

It's been about 6 weeks since I finished dual axle swaps, replaced all steering components, swapped lift, MML, and generally rebuilt the underside of the Jeep. All ball joints and bushings were replaced in the process. I'm still in what I consider the "building confidence that I didn't forget...

Sorry, I don't have any idea why that would be. If it were mine I'd take it by AutoZone and play dumb and see if they have better luck. For some stupid reason 2000 is the one year that doesn't allow you to pull codes through the odometer, too.

My daily driver is a Ram 1500, the Jeep is my weekender. I get aggravated any time I'm in the Ram and pass a nice Jeep and have to sit on my hand to avoid waiving like a moron. I haven't really thought about this but it's a solid NO for me. I live in the South so I smile and say hello to...
