    Fuel gauge not working, PCM issue?

    Fuel gauge isn't working, I replaced the pump with a bosch since I had one incase the original was bad while I dropped the tank, but the original and the bosch both tested good with an ohm test. I got the same reading on the connection to the PCM as the pump sending unit, C3 pin 33 "fuel level...

    Rear Outboard Fox Shock Options

    Well I and many others run the 5/8 shaft, I wasn’t sure about the 5/8-7/8 either. Whatever you decide on order sooner than later I ordered shocks last year and they came in 6 months later. I bet it’s worse now. Not sure what valving to go with but kmas0n has his shim stack posted on here and...

    Steering seems very loose on 2000 TJ 2.5

    You’re not really describing anything other than saying it’s unsafe. Do you find yourself having to keep the steering wheel loaded left/right to maintain a straight line? If your toe is out of whack (toe out) specifically you will be darting all over. If your steering box is loose you will...

    Will a 3 inch lift work for 33 inch tires?

    I have a 3” lift and no drop pitman and no problems. Idk why you would need one. You should get an adjustable trackbar, jks is good/low cost. I’d be careful about dropping your tcase til you get rid of that 2” body lift since you might run into shifting issues. And if you were to adjust...

    Paint & rust treatment between fender and flare

    Thats a good idea to put a strip of clear film all the way around where the flares sit after paint. Mine were starting to rust on my last Jeep too.

    Auxiliary spotlights

    Vision x light cannon 4.5” if want range and a more classic look. Also the stock wiring runs through the steering column so I recommend a relay integrated to the stock wiring or make sure whatever you get draws less amps. I’ve seen a few melted 40pin connectors.

    Totaled!

    No doubt they bought and paid for that law especially in this state. Half our senate works for the monopoly electric supplier. I was ready to argue it, I wanted to keep it since it was my first car, but came to my senses a little. Now if they tried to pull that shit on my ljr I’d threaten or...

    Totaled!

    I thought he was bs’ing me but I researched it and my state does have such a law stating if cost of repair is equal or greater than salvage value it must be totaled out. It was hard to argue my 210k mile 4cyl tj that just hit a deer two weeks earlier and needed a new front clip was worth more...

    Totaled!

    That’s crazy they’re totaling it for that. My 2.5l tj got totaled after being rear ended, by a similar Tacoma actually, mine was so fucked that the drivers door when latched looked partially open due to the entire side buckling in. The adjuster said the cost of repair was just past the total...

    Update, parasitic current fix, impending frame weld

    I don’t really do short arc but a Hobart 140 if outputting advertised specs should handle a frame repair without issue. To weld in a straight line look backwards and watch your top toe freeze and make the molten puddle line up with that. Or try to scribe a line.

    Update, parasitic current fix, impending frame weld

    There’s enough to weld to with a little prep that will go down the road just fine. What do you think the frame patch attaches to? The lower 1/4 of the frame is gone rest is fine.

    What should I bring when driving my TJ from Alaska to Nevada?

    Ultimate preparation vs just winging it. I’d road trip mine in its daily driver state any day but stupid little things like my suggestion don’t take up space and might save your ass or your one free tow.

    What should I bring when driving my TJ from Alaska to Nevada?

    Well based on a recent experience a pipe to loop your heater core hoses in case your heater core goes and starts pumping vaporized coolant into the cab causing you to overheat. Just need a pair of pliers to do the fix and you’ll be rolling in the time it takes for the Jeep to cool down a bit...

    Update, parasitic current fix, impending frame weld

    Welded metal will fail but zip ties won’t?

    Update, parasitic current fix, impending frame weld

    You have a welder slap on a series of tacks where you can, that will hold far better than the ties.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Open/closed comparison? I liked how mine sounded straight piped from like 3k rpm up at WOT embarrassed by it everywhere else.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Did I miss some sort of typical tjforum 10 page argument about how LJ was never a factory designation blah blah leading to the lj thread being deleted?
