    Fuel pump replacement and tank mod

    To the point where the needle is fully to the left of the letter E on the gauge. Not quite to the place where it rests when the ignition is off.

    Fuel pump replacement and tank mod

    Yeah that's what I do. I'm comfortable taking her to about 235 miles on a tank. But one of these times I will forget that I was idling for a long time or something else has negatively impacted my fuel economy (lol) and I'll end up out. I was just looking to see if there was an updated sending...

    Fuel pump replacement and tank mod

    I imagine the rationale was that some bean counter at Chrysler decided that they could charge more for the "bigger" tank. My question is this: Is there any mod out there to make the gauge more accurate? I regularly run mine past E and still never put more than 17 gal. in it. One of these...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Can you give some detail on how you wired it up? I've been thinking about doing the same thing on mine.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Friday night I drove up to Cincinnati to meet taylormade73 and bought a rear bumper off of him. Saturday I pulled the old tube bumper off and installed the new Smittybuilt.

    Replacement Seatbelt Recommendations?

    Bump on this. My drivers side is starting to fray and needs replacement. I read those reviews on Quadratec and think I'll pass on them as well. I'm shopping around online but want to hear from the group if there's a good place to get high quality units.

    If you know the speed in a given gear, your transmission transfer etc and your RPMs you can use this link to confirm. You can also see what your RPMs will look like with different gear sets. http://www.grimmjeeper.com/gears.html

    Tj brake light indidcator won't turn off

    There is a 'reset' that can be done to the proportioning valve if the mechanism inside gets stuck off-center. Bleed the brakes in this order right rear, left rear, right front, left front and see if that will get it for you.

    That's a clean XJ for it's age! I've never been a fan of the oxblood interior but those wheels are some of my favorites. Enjoy the build.

    Tj brake light indidcator won't turn off

    You say it's the proportioning valve...how do you know that? Have you had issues with it previously? If the brake light is on the first two things to check would be make sure the ebrake isn't on, then make sure the fluid level is correct. Those are the only two things that will illuminate the...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Yesterday I took off the doors and windows and drove down to central Kentucky to check out the Buffalo Trace distillery. Today, I changed out the front and rear diff oil then installed new recovery points on the rear since I didn't have anything back there.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Can you post or PM me some close ups of the setup? I'd like to show them to my fabrication guy and see if he can make something similar for me. My jack is leaving rusty stains on my hood.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Nice jack placement. Is that a custom built thing or was it a feature of the bumper?

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Took off these old crappy fog lights that the PO had installed for reverse lights. A trip to Harbor Freight for a trailer part turned into a pair of new LED reverse lights. Finished Product: Big improvement for a small price. :)

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I spent the day installing the newly rebuilt rear end in mine. First time she's been drivable in months. Felt good to get her out on the road!

    TJ rear disc brake conversion

    So I ended up with the entire rear end out of the ride having one of the local Jeep guru's rebuild it. He figured out that the brakes on mine are off a Rubicon. Mystery solved!

    Rear bumper with tire carrier for TJ near Kentucky

    My ride has a no-name aftermarket bumper installed but it was poorly done and does not have any tow points on it. I'm looking for a good quality bumper with a tire carrier. I'm willing to come get it if it's not too far away from Kentucky or if shipping is reasonable.

    SOLD: Warn Bumpers and tire carrier

    I'd snap them up if I were closer. I imagine shipping would be crazy on them.
