Hello, all. Long time since my last post - which was probably another question...heh. Anyhow - I'm wondering "what is best way to tackle a loose rock section of trail"? On Thursday and Friday, I decided to take a couple of days off work and try a new trail (to me) here in Arizona. My trail...

This code has thrown on me twice, and both time were under similar conditions. I've read a lot about this code, and owners seem to either "throw parts and money at it, plus a prayer or two" - and they may get lucky, or they may not - or they're of the "get rid of it and go with a manual" camp...

So - I'm getting the dreaded P1776 code on my 2004 TJ (auto-trans of course, 4.0L). First I'm going to ask...and I've googled this to heck and back - so I've seen just about everything I could see about the possibles on this, with the exception of...has anyone solved it? That is, more than just...

I guess I probably should've updated this a while back! Ultimately what happened was that I got a new manifold gasket, plus heat shield, and heat wrapping on the fuel rail and injectors (that last was to prevent something I read about that is common on the I6, where the heat from the engine can...

I'll probably do this when I get around to my "DRL" mod - it'd be worth finding out. I don't really like having the load resistors in place to stop the fast blink, nor needing the "special" Gold Canyon relay (I'd rather something closer to OEM could be used). While the resistors haven't given me...

Yep - something like that. My main thought there though was how much of a difference would plugging the other holes make; if it would slow it down at all. I really doubt it would stop it, as I am sure there are minute gaps for air to leak in. But it's kinda an academic question now since I'm not...

So, last week I did a needed oil change and on a lark, I decided to install a quick drain plug I had lying around; mind you, this was still new in package, something I had picked up for my old pickup (that my TJ replaced) that I never got around to installing. It fit properly and snugged up ok...

Interesting; I had considered something like this myself, but I wanted to see where I could get with the "standard" way. Does it play well with having all the other lamps (front and rear) being LEDs as well? Also, does the relay care? I might play around with this in the future. Right now...

Regarding gas for welders: If you have any kind of wind going on, the gas can be easily "blown away" eliminating the shielding and making the welding terrible. It's one of the downsides of MIG vs flux-core, but when you don't have that issue - MIG beats flux-core any day. I usually use my...

This was an interesting thread. I bought my 2004 TJ last year with a hardtop. The top has vents, so it's definitely a pre-2003 top. I don't have the harness kit in the jeep, nor do I have any of the switches, etc. I've yet to have the need to use the wiper, and with my tire carrier, I can barely...

Great story, glad to hear everyone's ok. Like you mentioned, it seems whenever someone gets into a basic accident with a Jeep, the Jeep almost invariably wins, especially when extra "armor" is involved. My plan in the future is to get a pair of Rocky Road's Super Sliders (scroll to the bottom)...

Hi all - I just wanted to post about an underhood upgrade I did recently. I don't have any pictures, but the work is pretty self-explanatory; if you need pictures, check out this article - which I basically followed from memory...

When I first purchased my 2004 TJ earlier last Spring (end of March or so?), soon after having it - in the morning, it would whistle. After a few minutes, it would quiet down and go away - and I wouldn't hear it again, until the next morning. Researching it led me to believe it was the IAC...

Before I bought my TJ, I was almost certain that if I ever wanted a 2-door Wrangler here in Arizona with a hardtop and the I6 - I'd have to get a manual. Because it seemed like - at least here in sand-land - that if you wanted to buy a used Jeep with a hardtop and the I6, it was going to be a...

For some reason your link is throwing an error when I directly click on it (but some URL editing saves the day). $160.00 (or more depending on if you need a flasher) for a pair of lenses and LED lights seem steep to me; there's no telling how it would effect installing LEDs for the other marker...
