These have sold, thanks.

Hi Eric, It looks like these sold. If something happens with the buyer, I will update you here. Will know tomorrow. Cheers, Tim

Yes, it's my listing. One is perfect and the other has a cracked lens. I priced them at less than the price of just one, looking at the average selling price from past eBay auctions. Figured someone might use the other for spares, or just ignore the cracked lens. They both have bulbs and worked...

Here is a fantastic deal on wheels and tires for your Jeep, 2006 and older, like the TJ, YJ and others. These may also fit other vehicles that take this size tires and wheel bolt pattern (5 on 4.5). For reason to long and too stupid to explain here, I ended up with two complete new sets of...

How to put JL wheels on a TJ, properly - I had bought some aftermarket rims and tires that I was not happy with. I had problems with balancing them and with the rims having excessive run-out. This was giving me some steering wheel vibrations above 55 mph. I was looking for a solution. I...

If anybody is in the same boat as above. I did get to the bottom of my issues. I had two. I was reluctant to believe I had any issues with the tires or rims because they were new. Turns out my problems were the tires and rims. Fist off, they did not get the balance right on any of the tires when...

Thanks Andy, I'll take that into consideration. I have a dial test indicator and can measure wheel lateral run-out, but I can't do radial measurements. I don't have the little wheel adapter to to that, and the tread doesn't have a smooth spot on my all terrain tires. I normally do tighten, as...

Hello broken scope I'm stuck in the same hole as you were. I've changed most everything, track bar, ball joints, upgraded to currie heavy duty steering, and so on. The Jeep has only 50K miles; it's an 05. I have not replace the control arm bushings. I was considering this next, since you can't...

Problem solved. I decided to change out the belt tensioner. I also ordered the idler pulley, as the plastic surface looked kind of weird. I figured might as well put a new belt on too, since I had no idea how old it was. The parts were just over $100. When I pulled the parts off, all the old...

Thanks, that is a thought. I've heard of O2 faults caused by exhaust leaks and bad cats. I'm not having any O2 codes now, but I will still have a look at the exhaust. The Jeep is rust free and looks new everywhere, but that doesn't mean it couldn't have an exhaust leak.

I purchased a 2005 Jeep Wrangler Sport last fall. It has the 4.0 L engine and automatic transmission. It only has 45K miles. I've been going through the Jeep fixing the normal issues and doing maintenance. When I first got the Jeep the check engine light came on during the dive home. It was...
