    Jeep Wrangler TJ Hard Top Repairs

    Hello folks - Hope you all are doing well. While wheeling I damaged my Jeep hard at the rear lower section (see pics) when I accidentally backed into a tree. There was also damage to rear quarter panel but I am not so worried about it as I have armor guards from Motobilt which I will be...

    PCM Failure Potential on 05-06

    @Wranglerfix - I did it for the first 50 so miles to get the fuel level between 15% and 85% but after that the monitors were still not ready so I plugged the RR speedo meter back and then took the Jeep to the dealer next day. The dealer said they need more time to look into the monitor issue but...

    PCM Failure Potential on 05-06

    Not sure if the issue was related to speedometer although I did follow the instructions from Wranglerfix. The one I have is Rugged Ridge brand. And I don't believe the Jeep dealer did anything to get monitors to the ready state. I was on the trails yesterday and while waiting for a other folks...

    Update - My monitors finally showed as "Ready" which helped me pass NYS State Inspection on my 06 Jeep TJ. Thanks again to all who responded.

    PCM Failure Potential on 05-06

    Thank you, Jerry. I just spoke to Mark @ WranglerFix and he advised me to disconnect the upgraded speedo gear as it may be causing no readiness on the two monitors. The new speed gear I put in last year was to recalibrate the speed gauge due to larger tires and because the Jeep does not show...

    PCM Failure Potential on 05-06

    Thanks for the quick response. I don't see any codes on my dashboard. I had codes in the past, P0456 (Small Evap leak) which has been fixed since then. I also recently changed my Fuel pump as it stopped working with a code of P0463. The two O2 sensors are showing as "Ready"

    PCM Failure Potential on 05-06

    Hello Folks - My 06 is currently overdue for NY State Inspection. Due to the two monitors (EVAP and CAT) showing "NOT READY" no matter how many miles I put on the vehicle, my Jeep will not pass the state inspection. I had this same problem last year where the MIL flashed for 10-15 seconds after...

    Power steering problems

    Folks - I wanted to give an update on my PS gear box issue. So, I had the replacement part from BuyAutoParts which was also junk as I ended up returning it as well. I put my old PS Gear box which still works. Bottom line, the PS reman box from BuyAutoParts is junk. Don't waste your time, energy...

    Power steering problems

    Thanks Steel City for the insight. I have already reached out to BAP and requested for a replacement. Unfortunately, since I am over 60 days past the purchase date they can only offer me a replacement at this time. However, if the replacement fails then they would be willing to apply a full...

    How to properly tow your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    When I turn the ignition to the UNLOCKED OFF position my steering wheel does not move. Do I need to keep the engine running while T-CASE is Neutral and the transmission in 2nd/3rd gear while Flat towing?

    Hi Folks - I had my TJ re-geared to 4.88s and I am currently going thru the 500 mi break-in period, but plan to take it for off-roading end of this month assuming I put the break-in miles.
