I did have a couple of instances where the TJ would crank but not start. I noticed after the first time if I went back to run and tried again it went better. Also had one instance where it was running but didn't have accessory power. When I moved the key a little bit the accessory power came...

Drove the Jeeps down to Rausch Creek over Labor Day. With two kids in each jeep we ended up pulling the m416 trailer with the TJ to make things easier. Only casualty was a couple more holes in the TJ soft top. Might be time to replace the fabric. I picked up a quadratec replacement...

The first one I ordered was a Dorman part with a new pigtail and connector. From Dorman they were both in the same box with no packaging. I'm guessing the connector broke the one circuit in shipping. Reported it to Rock Auto and they had a replacement shipped which ended up the same. This time...

The TJ had a code this spring for bank 1 running lean. It's done it once or twice before on the first drive of the season, but this time it came back. Noticed the upstream sensor was reading lean and the downstream was reading rich. Put a shop vac in the tailpipe and had a decent exhaust leak...

No major updates, but a couple of small things. The LJ spent most of the spring and earlier summer taking over the back and forth to little league games. The extra space comes in handy with bat bags and catcher's gear. Swapped the blower motor resistor. Received two damaged ones from Rock Auto...

Is that the same one that was on Moneypit Classifieds for quite a while?

Don't make plans based on that date. Jegs gave a 5/21 delivery when I ordered mine on 3/13. July 16 they updated it to 9/24. I'm not in a hurry and can wait until they eventually fulfill it or a better option comes along.

The Atlas also has perks once you move to a real front axle.

Well, Jegs sent me an updated ETA today of 09/24/2026. Glad I didn't pull anything apart in preparation.

I ordered one from Jegs in March 13th. Last eta was July 8th, but haven't seen anything yet.

Thanks Blaine, I'll send you a pm.

Pulled the intake and exhaust manifolds to rectify a leak and found 2 of the bolts were standard bolts and flat washers. Anyone happen to have two stock bolts (with conical washers)?

Did you install the nutserts through the hinge and windshield frame together, rather than just the windshield frame?

I think there are at least a couple modifications I did to my jeep based on pictures of this one 15 years ago. I have tinkered with it a little bit while I was waiting on the paperwork from the DMV. Installed new bottom seat foam on the driver's side and added some Buchanan spacers. Put the...

Picked up a new Jeep for my wife. I have been looking for a 4.0 auto with a/c, ideally an LJ. I think this will work out well for her and match up fairly well with the TJ off-road. Since it doesn't need a lot, I'll probably just put the limited updates in here.
