Hi all, I live in Socal and am due for my first smog test since owning my TJ, which is a 99, 4.0. it's got 192k miles on it and no CEL codes. I took it in this morning and it failed due to NOX being too high. The tech recommended looking at the O2 sensor as a possible cause, and I know the...

Joined a couple of buddies of mine for a weekend trip to the Imperial Sand Dunes aka Glamis aka Sand Toy Capital of the World. Weekend was a blast and the TJ ran great in the dunes. 😎

On a whim yesterday I stopped at a local Jeep dealer to ask their service department what it would cost to have a copy of my key made so I'd have a spare skim enabled key in case I ever lose the one I have or the chip craps out on me. Anyway I was floored when they told me a key was $150 and...

I had the day off today and decided to tackle an overdue project of flushing the heater core on my 99 TJ 4.0. I've owned this TJ for about 18 months and although there are a number of upgrades on my list, I've been prioritizing overdue maintenance for the most part since buying this TJ. One...

I removed the throttle body on my 99 TJ 4.0 this afternoon as I've been battling a high idle. Anyway, I went to reinstall the throttle body and one of the 4 bolts that fastens the throttle body to the manifold wouldn't completely tighten, I can just continue to turn it almost with just hand...

I'm in search of a Dana 44 to swap for my Dana 35. Tonight I found a 2004 rhd TJ with a Dana 44 at a pick a part yard. Would this be a straight swap or is it different in some way being from a rhd TJ?

I'm changing out the pinion seal in my Dana 30 and was curious if this amount of play in the driveshaft is normal or not, and if not what else I should be looking at while I'm in here. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ikgCgtHEAPhAPYyUA

https://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/cto/d/escondido-2006-jeep-rubicon-unlimited/7687610787.html I mean I get that LJRs are rare and highly sought after, but $60kseems... optimistic? That's the most I've seen a TJ listed for I think.

Hey everyone, looking for some insight here. The last two times I've gone wheeling in my TJ i noticed at the end of the day when I popped my hood to connect my air compressor that there was power steering fluid blown on to the under side of the hood. There was fluid on the cap and the top of...

Like the title says, in taking the CB out of my Jeep. It was installed by a PO and it doesn't seem like very many people still use them. I also just bought a handheld gmrs radio. Anyway, I'm asking for advice on what to do with the antenna wiring as well as the wiring for power. Regarding the...

I got the P0118 code tonight when I went to start my TJ just to move it into the driveway. I drove it around the block to see how it ran and the engine stumbled a little bit from a stop but seemed fine after I gave it some throttle. Other symptoms, I've had a high idle since I bought it last...

I'm getting this rattle upon cold startup, it goes away as the engine warms, but you'll hear in the video that it comes back when I rev engine to higher rpms. To me it sounds like it's coming possibly from a pulley near the power steering pump or somewhere in that area, maybe an idler pulley...

I think I've pretty much decided on installing a lunchbox in my front Dana 30 to improve off road traction. My plan is to go with the Powertrax No Slip. Eventually I plan to install a selectable locker in the rear either with a super 35 upgrade or after a Dana 44 swap (still looking for a good...

I changed the gear oil in my Dana 30 about a month ago and just noticed today that I have a slow leak at the bottom of the diff cover. I replaced the rtv gasket with a lube locker, and yes, I cleaned off the old rtv as thoroughly as I could. I used Valvoline 80w 90 gear oil. What would you do...

Hey everybody, I was eyeballing some suspension components under my 99 TJ today and happened to notice this loose bolt on the back of the transfer case, it appears to be holding down the female end of this plug on the transfer case. The bolt had either it's way far enough out that I could...

Hey all, I'm getting a high pitched squeak from the front of my motor that I'm suspecting may be a worn idler pulley. According to this diagram there are 2 idler pulleys. Does anyone know if they're both the same part#?

I'm trying to raise my front end to put on Jack stacks so I can remove both front wheels and change my gear oil. Jacking under the pumpkin only raised the driver side. Am I ok to jack up the passenger side using the able housing as pictured? If not, any suggestions on a better jack point to get...

I've noticed this whining sound coming from my rear end and am trying to identify what's causing it. I can only hear it as I'm accelerating from a stop while turning at very low speeds. I'm posting a video my son helped me capture of it while I was reversing into my driveway. The sound happens...

Getting ready to do a cooling system flush and was under the Jeep to see if I'll have any issues getting to the drain plug. Anyway, while under there I noticed my front body mount bushings look pretty worn compared to the middle and rear ones (see pictures for comparison). Would appreciate...
