    4 Wheel Drive part time dash light

    Just curious…..with 4 wheel high selected, when I initially start my TJ cold the yellow “part time” dash light comes on as it should, but as soon as the engine warms up, this light goes out! I’m thinking maybe a loose wire, bad connection etc. Any ideas?

    Jeep Replacement Parts

    Curious about everyone’s experience with different replacement part manufacturers. Obviously, anything critical would favor Mopar OEM. Any opinions regarding Crown Automotive or Fairchild Industries? Any other good options for miscellaneous body parts?

    Squealing noise on my 2002 4.0

    There is a squealing noise coming from my engine which comes and goes. It usually starts shortly after starting when the engine warms a little. I replaced the belt and checked all the pulleys. I'm thinking it sounds like a vacuum leak but have not been able to locate any. Anyone have any...

    How much will these tires stick out past my fenders?

    I'm sure this question has been battered around quite a bit but before I drop some coin on new 31x10.5x15's, I'll ask again. I will mount these 31's on stock Canyon 15x8 rims w/5.5" backspace. Can anyone tell me how much these will stick out past my stock fender flares on my 02' Sport? Thanks!

    Will I lose much performance going to 31 inch tires?

    I am currently running 30x9.5R15's on 8" factory rims on my 02' Sport that are about worn out. I am thinking about up sizing to 31x10.5R15's. My use is primarily a daily driver with some mild weekend off-roading. My dilemma is.....I don't want to loose much, if any, performance in terms of...

    Repeated Misfire Codes

    A while back I posted a problem with misfire codes.....mainly PO300, 01 & 02 on my 2002' 4.0. It was suggested I needed to replace the coil rail which I did. I bought an OEM Mopar unit as was suggested and put in new APP 985 plugs as well. All was well for a while then I started getting just...

    OEM Tire Jack

    I'm missing the 2 piece bottle jack handle that came with my o2' TJ. I have the bottle jack and lug wrench but not the handle extension. I would like to find an OEM handle if possible. I've seen a couple complete sets for sale on eBay but I only need the handle. Anyone have an idea where I...

    Cylinder Misfire

    2002 Sport with 4.0 (97000 miles).....Kept getting OBD II 300, 301 & 302 codes. Eventually, the engine light began flashing and I quit driving. My local shop recommended changing the coil rail. The cost for them to do it was outrageous so I bought one and changed it myself. As long as I had...

    Aftermarket fog lights blow factory fog light fuse

    I have a 2002 Sport and I removed an old pair of aftermarket lights. The plugs for the factory fogs were there so I bought a pair of KC Fog lights that were supposed to be a direct replacement for the factory lights. When I turn them on it blows the fuse. I disconnected both of the lights to...

    Wheel Corrosion

    Anyone have a good idea on how to remove surface corrosion from my TJ wheels? Some say I need to polish out with a buffer and sanding discs. I thought about sand blasting as well. Thoughts?

    Electrical problem: dim brake lights

    Just found a electrical problem on my newly acquired 02' TJ. Wife noticed it while following me home. Both tail lights are fine, but when I brake, the passenger side brake light goes dim! Today I removed the lens and tried again. Actually both the backup light and the brake light go dim at...

    TJ Rust Inspection

    I'm going to inspect my first TJ soon and I would like to know what areas specifically I should concentrate on when looking for rust! I realize Jeeps of this vintage will all have some surface rust but I don't want to buy one that will need some major body/frame work going forward! Any...

    Are all Dana 44 rear axles limited slip from the factory?

    Still shopping for my first TJ. When I run the build sheets on the ones I'm interested in....some list the Dana 44 rear end along with 3:73 gears and also specify Trac-lock differential. Others just list the Dana 44 rear end. I've been told by many that all Dana 44 were limited slip? Help?

    Canadian Build Specs

    Anyone have any experience with CarFax inspections?

    I’m looking at maybe buying a TJ that’s 4 states away. Dealer comments aside, I would like to get a trustworthy opinion from someone qualified to inspect the Jeep before I make the trip. Carfax offers a 155 Point inspection service for about $150. If it’s legit it might be worth it! Does...
