    Troubleshooting 1997 TJ No-Start

    I chased down a similar issue with my 99. One of the most likely culprits is the little plastic pin that pushes into the actual ignition switch when you insert the key. Take the three screws out of the bottom plastic around the steering column and remove the plastic. Your key cylinder is on...

    after driving highway speeds, RPMs dropping out at stop light

    Check your throttle position sensor. I had the exact problem. New tps fixed me right up. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    Let's see your eclipse photos!

    This was in middle Tennessee near the KY border. I grabbed this pic with my Note 5 (pro mode is your friend). I set the iso to 100 and changed the exposure to daylight. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    Replacing engine...what would a smart person do?

    What about a new timing chain and oil pump? New oil pump also lets you clean any gunk out of the oil pan. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    Reloading for the rest of us

    I would try checking the Federal cases for the snag on the inside then compare to the Winchester brass. There is a chance that you have bad brass from Federal but it's very unlikely. You mention a faint line on the Winchester brass, is it something you can feel on the inside?

    Reloading for the rest of us

    The band on the fired factory case is troubling. The broken case has the condition called case head separation. You can check for this starting when reloading by running a small stiff wire along the inside when inspecting cases feeling for a "dip" or "snag". I have a .357 nickel plated case I...

    Gasoline brand preference?

    Strangely enough, when I ran 87 octane fuel with ethanol, I get a check engine light complaining about the fuel injectors. On the advice of my resident jeep guru, I switched to 89 octane and the problem has disappeared. Go figure. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    Garage Lift Question

    LOL, I wanted to be able to lift anything I could fit in the door! It not going anywhere is exactly what I was hoping for. :-)

    Garage Lift Question

    I am looking at Bendpak on mine. I built my garage (32' x 50') with the same idea in mind. My floor is roughly 5-6" thick but where the posts will go it's 15-18" thick for about 3 foot diameter. We used 4500psi concrete with fiberglass reinforcement.

    Radio help needed

    I would hit my local junk yard and pull the antenna from a Grand Cherokee and install it on the TJ. Connector problem solved.

    Ignition Problem Stalling

    I had a similar situation when I put the new 2.5l in mine. A new TPS sensor fixed it for me.

    CB Set-Up Help

    So far I have done a lot of reading and lurking so I hope my first post will be helpful. :) For background, I started with CB radios almost 25 years ago. Went on to get my ham license and have had that for over two decades (since 1993). Just about any CB setup will work if you can see the other...

    Farm Jeep

    After WW2, Willys had to try and survive without the military contracts. They marketed the jeep to farmers with all sorts of gadgets. It's a great idea if you ask me.
