I just came across your post Chris. Thanks for putting this out there. I'm tackling my leaking seal this Saturday. You've just made this much easier for me!

This was after installing a new motor on my 2001 TJ. I never check fuel mileage. My only indication was the 'check engine' code which referenced the O2 sensor heater circuit. Replaced the sensor...no change. Checked and replaced the relay....problem solved.

Nothing loose. Planning on getting it to a transmission shop. 'A man's got to know his limitations.'

4 inch suspension lift.

Will do. Thanks.

I didn't realize that the only external linkage is for the transfer case. No issues with the transfer case.

Having recently gotten to a point in my TJ build that I'm actually driving it, I now have a couple of transmission issues. I recently installed a factory rebuilt NV3550 manual transmission. I immediately noticed that it would pop out of 5th gear. I assumed it was related to interference from my...

I've had a couple of TJ's, a '97 and now a 2001. Great Jeeps with lot's to appreciate about them. But I think there's something to appreciate about many of the older models, especially the CJ's. Gotta say, I'm not a fan of Jeeps with 4-doors....doesn't seem right, just sayin'.

Well, I didn't have the capability of testing it. I simply took a $20.00 gamble, bought a replacement and got lucky. "Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good!"

I realize that this thread is from last year, and it was very helpful in determining sensor locations for me. But after replacing all sensors, and still throwing a O2 sensor code (heater circuit failure), I discovered the actual problem was a bad O2 sensor relay. So, for those chasing down O2...

Hi Russ, I just ordered a pair of Corbeau Moab Reclining black vinyl seats. Still deciding on a back seat. I like some of the Corbeau rear seats but folding down flat is a must.

I'm 9 months into this restoration.....guess that means it's due? Getting close to being able to take it out. New seats are next. Followed by fender flares, side step bars and dash components. Of course, I'll never really be finished.....just sayin'.

I replaced the top on my son's 2001 TJ 10 years ago with a Bestop. Fast forward to this year, the Jeep is now mine, I'm doing a full restoration and the top is not on the list of what needs to replaced. The Bestop has really held up.

Dang...I didn't really want to know, but after adding it up, I'm somewhere north of $12,000 so far. That's a 4.7L stroker motor (plus all the stuff that goes under the hood with it); factory rebuilt transmission; rebuilt rear diff; 4" suspension lift; tires and wheels; bumpers; flooring. I still...

Will do. Waiting to install my lift kit, and a few other items before I start driving it.
