    Took my TJ off-road. Sometimes transmission sounds like it's chewing rocks

    Today I took my 4-cylinder, 5-speed TJ to an off-road trail in Colorado. Everything was going well for a while, and then it happened. Going downhill in first gear there came this ugly noise from underneath, as if the gearbox were chewing rocks. Then I came to a complete stop and the noise...

    Replacing oil pan gasket

    The oil pan gasket on my 2.4 liter is leaking. Has anybody replaced it in their garage? I’m trying to decide whether to try to do it myself or take it to a mechanic. I mean, it seems simple enough. Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions.

    2.4 liter oil pressure sensor location?

    What is this hose that plugs into a manifold in the rear axle?

    First and foremost, let me start by introducing myself. My name is Chris and along with being a successful web designer I am also a huge Jeep Wrangler enthusiast. Many of you would probably ask, "Why would you create a forum for Wrangler owners when there's already several out there?". Good...

    Is the battery supposed to just sit on the tray like this?

    The battery on my TJ just sits on a tray with nothing holding it in place. What bugs me about it is that if I were to push it toward the passenger side, the positive terminal ends up very close to the edge of the body. Is there some kind of strap that's missing? Thanks in advance.
