    Mysterious rattle

    I don’t know if you’ve found what was rattling, but after reading of the accident it jogged my memory of a similar noise I also experienced several years ago “post accident” in my GMC Sonoma pickup truck. It was ceramic material inside the catalytic converter that shattered and was rattling. I...

    The TJ got decent mpg on road trip!

    I’ve driven my TJ round-trip from Texas to Indiana twice over the past year, and averaged 16.5mpg. Fortunately low range works good for dragging logs. That overdrive ratio is INSANELY high.

    How reliable (or unreliable) has your TJ been?

    I recently drove my 2003 TJ with 120,000mi on the odometer from Texas to Indiana and back without any problems whatsoever. I'm just staying on top of all the recommended routine maintenance items. I do carry a blue-tooth dongle to read any code that could possibly trigger, but no trouble yet.

    Is this not insane ?

    That thing almost looks like it has lockouts/locking hubs? Maybe it's just the rims?

    Jeep won't start, any ideas?

    Definitely Not an ignition problem.

    Sudden loss in power

    If a Cat is clogged, you will see a decrease in engine vacuum as rpm increases due to back-pressure building up. With a severely plugged Cat, and vehicle parked, vacuum can be observed to go away as soon as throttle is advanced off-idle. If you have a Vacuum Gage or Scan Tool you can see it...

    TJ Wind Noise and an Unidentified TJ Part

    My hard top also had a really bad wind whistle that wouldn't go away no matter what I did, so I used a roll of two inch masking tape on both upper and lower seal seam above the windshield (on the exterior side), and applied a thin bead of black RTV sealant called "The Right Stuff." It's been...

    I'm all in favor of women driving topless, but the police frown upon that. Ain't Freedom grand?

    What's this? (Electrical Connector of some sort, plz Identify)

    I just looked and my 2003 has that plug as well, and the mirror is just a plain stock unit. I'm pretty sure it's the original...

    Wrangler TJ Radiator Replacement

    I don't believe the new MOPAR Radiator will come equipped with the male fittings, so you'll need to reuse the originals.

    Fuel pressure

    I recently replaced my pump the previous owner installed. It was an Airtex that the regulator failed after only six months. I used a Bosch for the replacement.
