    Are there different gas caps for TJs?

    My stock, locking gas cap started slipping bad, so I bought a replacement from the local parts place...the first one they sold me didn't fit at all, and the second one didn't fit quite right...it just never bottomed out and ratcheted/clicked, and felt more like it was wedging into place, if that...

    Replace my fuel line retainer clip rant!

    So I dropped my tank, in order to replace my fuel pump, and broke a couple of the fuel line retainer clips in the process...searched for a part number, etc, without much luck, until I found a video on YouTube by BSK Garage (I think?) He did a video showing how to drop the tank, and while doing...

    Planning on making some custom flares. Silly question maybe.

    So rather than pull all 4 flares off, I'm hoping someone on here can answer something for me... If I pull a rear flare off, and get the bolt pattern from one side, is the other side a mirror image of the bolt pattern? Same question for the front flares... Thanks in advance 🙂

    Any difference in these fuel pump and housing assemblies?

    Being in Australia, means ordering parts online (Thank God for RockAuto!) Anything local is triple the price, or more. I need to replace my fuel pump, and I figure, while I have the tank out, I might as well replace the whole shebang, rather than have to drop it again because the regulator...

    Fuel line retainer clip part number? Edit: Found them

    Edit: Found them...GM Part # 21992746 or Dorman 800-041 So, of course I broke a couple of them trying to drop the tank, but the ones on ROCKAUTO.COM don't look quite the same as these...can anyone point me at the correct replacement retainer clips?

    Finally tested and I have zero fuel pressure at the rail

    OK, I'm one of the biggest procrastinators in the world, but due to no port on the fuel rail, and ordering fittings on eBay (that took forever, coming from china) I've only just now been able to test the fuel pressure, and I'm getting Zip, Zilch, Nada... I can hear the pump kicking on when I...

    Anyone have the part number of the Bosch fuel pump?

    online parts retailer lists a bosch fuel pump to fit my 03 TJ, with a part number BFP0382 but they don't show an image for it...just want to verify before I pick it up Thanks in advance

    2003 TJ died while driving, now cranks, but won't start

    Everything was going just great (other than an occasional weird high idle/idling surge) when my Jeep died in the McDonald's drive thru...it idled REALLY rough/weak for maybe 30 seconds before it died, which led me to think fuel pump? So I called roadside assistance, and got towed home... Now...

    Oil pressure sensor thread sealant?

    My new oil pressure sensor from Rock Auto didn't come with thread sealant applied (I was under the impression that they did) What type do I need to use? Thanks in advance!

    Oil Pressure Gauge "Check Gauge" Light

    So my TJ was running pretty much trouble free lately (so yeah, too good to last, right?) but now that the weather here in Melbourne has gotten chilly, I had a couple instances where, after driving a few blocks first thing in the morning, my "check gauges" light would come on, and I'd notice the...

    Ignition/multifunction switch advice

    Hey Jeep Junkies... It looks like I'll finally have a little "extra money" to adress a couple problems my TJ has had since I bought it... When I start it, I put the turn signal on, and once started, I jiggle/wiggle the key, until the turn signal works (radio comes on at the same time)... I...

    Ignition switch issues

    So when I start my '03 Sport, the stereo and blinkers won't work until I jiggle the key a certain way...I remember reading what causes this, and what needs replaced, but I can't find it now... Can anyone lonk me to the part, or the thread that covers this? Much appreciated folks!

    Starting issues

    The gauge is reading just above 14, pretty consistently...no way to charge the battery in order to load test it...

    Starting issues

    So I suspect my battery has given up the ghost, but want to make sure it's not something else, before dropping money on a new one... For the past couple weeks, we've had colder weather, and it's been starting slower and slower, so I threw the cables in the back, knowing I'd need them...

    Will a TJ hood fit in the back of a TJ?

    Thanks for the reply 👍🏻 I'll just borrow the trailer, if that's the case...the weather is crap and don't feel like doing any wrenching in the rain unnecessarily...

    Will a TJ hood fit in the back of a TJ?

    Going to be picking up a replacement hood and tailgate about an hour and a half away, and am wondering if I need to borrow a friends trailer, or if it will fit in the back, if I remove the back seat? Anyone?

    The Multifunction Switch Blues

    Since before i bought my 03, it's had what I believe to be a MFS issue of some sort...the previous owner showed me how to jiggle and twist the ignition after starting, to get the blinkers and stereo to work...annoying at times, but tolerable... Recently, the windshield wiper controls have been...

    Dash cluster LED swap

    A little...they're pretty dim in daylight, but you can see a slight glow...but then again, they're not needed in the daylight 😁
