While moving down the road my oil gauge reads around 43 but when I slow or stop it drops down to around 23. I have not noticed this before. I just did an oil change. Put in a MOPAR filter and changed the oil with Valvoline 10w-30 conventional. Everything good?

So, I'm about 45 miles from home. Driving the 2000 TJ today and I have a business meeting in a few hours. I happen to lock myself out of the jeep with my keys still in the ignition. I have the hard top on. Is there any way to pop the lock with a coat hanger or not? Or am I going to have to...

Wise ones, I’ve been throwing the miles on the ol’e TJ since my JL is in the shop getting fixed after crossing paths with a 16 year old on the road. As y’all all know, North Texas got hammered with a half years rain over night. If you want to find out if you have any leaks, drive in a storm...

No, it doesn't smell like fuel at all. It never crossed my mind that it could be from the breather hose from the rear diff. I'll have to investigate this. It didn't start till I replaced the diff fluid. Hmmm, you might be onto something.

So a few weeks back I noticed a drip on the driveway that was in an area close to my jeep. I thought originally that it was just something I didn't clean up well when I did a fluid swap in the transfer case as well as replaced the pinion seals for the front and rear diffs. Fast forward a...

My local dealership stated the part number I needed was 7652AA for my VIN. I looked her up on Amazon, I suppose a legit MOPAR radiator would be on there right? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0049EH4AC/?tag=wranglerorg-20

I figured that would be the response I would get but just wanted to make sure none of you came across the next best thing to sliced bread as far as radiators are concerned. Appreciate it gents.

Seems like the top of my radiator leads in colder weather. Once it's warm it stops but a cold start when it is freezing outside gives me a decent little puddle underneath. With that being said, it's time to pull it and put in a fresh one. My question is, should I just go with a stock OE from...

Living in North Texas, we've recently been hit with a decent cold snap. We had our first really significant freeze about two weeks ago and I had noticed some liquid underneath the jeep the following day after that initial freeze. It was most definitely anti-freeze. I popped the hood and...

Please tell me how you found this thing! What a beautiful find.

Was going to disagree with ya there for a moment but I full-screened the video. That noise is obviously there while he's sitting there idling at the intersection. This is not coming from your driveshaft. With that being said, a DC driveshaft is always a good idea but that will not fix your...

Will this solution of the SYE and a Double Cardan Driveshaft create the opportunity of not having to do a MML & Body Lift?

Any of y'all part of the North Texas Jeep Club?

So, I had to drive back out to the ranch last night to check on my cellular game cams because they weren't connecting. There's something about cruising through the Texas Hill Country in a TJ that just makes ya feel like life doesn't get any better. Of course on the 1-hour trip one way, my mind...
