    SOLD Bestop Trail Cover for LJ

    Hi all - I sold my LJ and have moved over to the JKU forum. I have a lightly used Bestop Trail cover. It was used last summer when at a family cottage and no garage was available. There's one dirt spot that I tried to capture in pic 3, but is otherwise like new. I couldn't find it on the...

    Power steering fluid leak

    Hi all - I keep the Jeep at our family cottage, so I got it out of winter storage yesterday. Fired right up nicely, but ... the power steering feels "intermittent" so I checked the reservoir and it was empty. I topped it up with ATF+4 and went for a five minute drive & it's empty again...

    Something Leaking and Smoking on Exhaust Manifold

    I think I am getting somewhere. Looking for a little feedback on my conclusion and next steps based on some searches and advice in other threads. The tranny lines seem to be the issue. I see a drip from the bracket where the two lines are held to the engine in front of the cats (2nd pic)...

    Something Leaking and Smoking on Exhaust Manifold

    Hi all - I got a couple things going on over the weekend. I am not sure if there's multiple issues or they're related. First, after shutting of the Jeep, I am getting some smoking and burning smell. It looks like something is dripping on the exhaust manifold or heat shield on the driver...

    Still a little fuel spillage after GM hose swap

    Thanks everyone ... when I googled a fix for this, I got links to the GM filler hose "fix". I will stick with that for now since it's done and put the real fix on my list.

    Still a little fuel spillage after GM hose swap

    Hi all - so I had the overflow problem typical of 2005/2006 LJs. I did the swap to the GM fuel filler hose. I just filled up and it is much better, but I still got a slight overflow when the pump stopped. I marked the hose where the indent was before I cut it and aligned it to the top of...

    WTF are these rear sway bar end links?

    Hi all - I have been working thru the suspension on my new to me LJ. It has 168K and everything looks original. So far, I replaced the front track bar, did the ZJ upgrade and replaced drag link, replaced front sway bar end links, and front shocks. I also did my own front end alignment...

    Flasher & Turn Signal Help Needed

    Final update: Here is my set-up: I am using the LM470 relay and have successfully swapped in LEDs to side markers in the fender flares, rear brake/signal lights, backup lights, and 3rd backup light by spare tire. Hazards, turn signals and everything work as they should. Everything is a...

    Flasher & Turn Signal Help Needed

    Update: Solved my issue ... hope this helps someone. My issue turned out to be a slightly loose flasher relay. It feels tight, but I was able to move it around and replicate the issue. So, I got all working by pulling up slightly on the relay but during a test drive, everything stopped...

    New guy from WI

    Hi all - have been hanging around for a couple months and done a few posts, but realized I never introduced myself. I purchased my first Jeep, a 2005 LJ back in January. It has Rubicon stickers on the hood, but is not really a Rubicon. It is pretty clean for a WI jeep and I will have fun...

    Flasher & Turn Signal Help Needed

    Hi All - I started to swap my front turn signals, brake lights, and side markers to LEDs and got all kinds of weird things going on. After some reading here, I tried the EP26 relay and EP27 relay and neither worked "correctly". At this point, I decided to swap everything back, including the...

    Vibration / Suspension Advice

    Update: I picked up the Jeep and did a quick 10 mile loop on the highway. No vibration/DW, so apparently 1/2 oz can make a difference on the wheel balance. I still replaced the track bar this morning. Here's a couple pics of the old one. Didn't look bad to me, but I am a newbie. What...

    Vibration / Suspension Advice

    Update ... the tire shop said two tires were off by 1/2 oz and others were good. Would that be enough to start a serious wobble? My track bar is on it's way, so still planning to do that this weekend and see where I am at.

    Vibration / Suspension Advice

    Hi all - I purchased my (first) Jeep about 2 months ago (2005 LJ). It is higher mileage w 168K on the clock, but I believe it is completely stock. It runs strong and have had no issues, but suspension has felt both rough and loose and wiggly over bumps at the same time. I lowered tire...
