    OBD Code P0432 Sanity Check

    I replaced all 4 O2 sensors with NTK. O2 sensors seem to be reading normal, as expected. Cold start, both downstream sensors read 1V After warm up, upstream sensors fluctuate between .1 and .8 while driving Both upstream and downstream drop to 0V on coasting. Code comes back. Before I dump...

    What's on your winter upgrade / TODO list?

    For some reason I'm more motivated to work on the Jeep in the fall / winter than I am in the spring /summer. Probably because I'm more willing to give it some downtime when the top is on! I've got a small list this year * Downstream O2 sensors (just arrived yesterday, hopefully can avoid...

    Whats the final verdict on fender flare restoration?

    Plastic Paint? Prime? Brands? Mine (rubicon) are in excellect shape except for the finish. Dull, faded, a couple scuffs but no gouges. Thinking of removing them, cleaning up under them and refinishing them. What works well and whats not worth the time?

    Tracking down my final interior leak. . .

    My first major leak was fixed with a new passenger side door gasket. Now all water coming in comes from the rear and migrates forward. I took the rear carpet out to better understand where it's coming from. What I find now is that water is somehow coming down the soft side bars and dripping...

    Best source for touch up paint?

    What is the best source for color match touch up paint in spray cans? I have just a few spots I want to address before it becomes a problem. Right now it's a 10 foot paint job. Looks great 10 feet away. The rear corners down low on the tub have a little rust forming where the sheet metal rolls...

    Door sill protection options?

    What's the go-to for door sill protection? My OEM clear tape is worn through and the wear is making it to bare metal in some spots (from PO). Thinking of a color match touch up and then another type of clear tape over it. Is there anything better?

    Currie Rear Lower Shock Extension CE-9601

    Is there any good reason I should not use the Currie / Rock Jock CE-9601 Lower Rear Shock Extensions, at least temporarily? It doesn't look like they go lower at all, just back further as needed. I've totally redone the entire front end in Savvy / Currie components. I'll be doing the rear...

    Rubicon Differential - Gear Pattern Paint From Factory?

    Curiosity. 119k miles on my 2003. I changed the front diff oil today and noticed gear setup paint (yellow). I've put about 6k miles on it since I bought it a few years ago. Oil was perfectly clean, clear - looked like new. Did they come from the factory with gear pattern paint, or was this a...

    How far does the FRONT axle move forward when raising pinion?

    The PO had the front setup all wacky. I previously replaced the factory upper arms and rusted out rattly RE lower arms with savvy adjustable. Because the jeep drove true and steered well already, I kept lengths the same. All was good. It drives smoother than ever! The front driveshaft was out...

    Are Jonny Joints supposed to be very stiff?

    I've got Savvy double adjustable arms on the front. I put these on to replace the PO's RE + stock arms on a 4" lift. I started taking things apart to put my Currie 4" springs on to replace the old 2" spring + 2" spacer, and put RS5000x on the front while I'm at it. If I'm going to do this, I'm...

    No Drill / No Cut RAM Cell Phone Mount Bracket

    Thought I'd share my first very rough proof of concept for a RAM mount. I've wanted a cell phone mount for a while, but I hate hate hate the idea of cutting or drilling into nearly flawless interior. The two screws that hold the center bezel on the top are secure enough for some light usage it...
