    Source for Mopar 06 Camshaft Position Sensor?

    Anyone happen to have a source for the OEM Mopar camshaft position sensor for an 06 LJ 4.0? I can't find any sources for them who has them still in stock, called dealership and they can't find one either.

    Stripped transfer case drain plug

    Well, it happened. Stripped the drain plug on the transfer case. Fill plug came out fine. After heat, PB blaster, tapping - thought it was coming out..but stripped instead. Any tips/tricks? First instinct is order an ez-out that will fit nicely in the nice round hole that's there now. If that...

    Paint match question about off-the-shelf black paint (paint code X8)

    So, I know I can get this from a paint supply store or the dealership, but curious if anyone with the black jeep has had any luck with paint match with something off the shelf? Before I try another paint (the duplicolor perfect match universal black seems closest?) - I thought I'd see if anyone...

    Well, got informed today that I get to take a mandatory vacation between now and mid-June. So, thinking of using this as an opportunity to drive the LJ from Iowa to Colorado and do Ouray/Telluride trails. Any locals from the area have any pointers or any info on what's going to be open?

    LJ truck conversion suggestions?

    Been a while since posting - bought a house and been really busy with that. As such - I've been looking for a decent pickup truck now that I find myself needing to haul stuff that won't fit in the LJ with the hardtop on (like 2x4 and plywood and stuff). This past weekend, I was at a local...

    LJ hardtop additional height?

    2006 LJ. I have been looking at getting a body lift+motor mount lift, mostly to add a bit more clearance and prep for a tummy tuck later. My possible problem is garage door clearance. I forgot to measure clearance before removing my hardtop and installing the soft-top. As my hardtop is...

    Body Lift Suggestions?

    So, looking at installing a 1" or so body lift on my 06 LJ for a few reasons. One is to prep for a tummy tuck later this fall. Also would like a bit more clearance around my new 33" tires. Question is - what are some peoples recommendations? I think most people simply use spacers, longer...

    Replacement Alternator suggestions

    So, new tires installed today, and they are so much quieter I can hear things that used to be covered up in tire noise - including an alternator bearing going bad. I thought it may be the idler or tensioner, and while the idler was a bit gritty, the tensioner was okay spin-wise; but I replaced...

    Steering Wobble - Diagnosis

    As some of you may know - after my recent lift I had some vibrations in the rear. Those seem to all be sorted now with the new LCA to get pinion angles correct (will be getting an SYE and new DC driveshaft sometime). I took it a week and a half ago to get aligned. After alignment, tire...

    Bestop sliders with steps

    Found someone semi-local on craigslist who is selling some bestop highrock 4x4 rock sliders with the pop-out step for an LJ (and yes Chris, it is an LJ). I've never seen these before and am having issues finding any reviews online for them. I like that they have a step for the wife, but also...

    WTB: AC Control

    Needing the AC Control for an 06 TJ. Something internal to mine is starting to short out and will completely quit blowing suddenly. A little jiggle of the knob gets it blowing again, but figure it's time to replace. Seems that they changed something in 05/06 that they are special? I really only...

    History - I purchased my LJ in June 2015 with 85000 miles on it from a dealer specializing in Jeeps. Was looking for an clean XJ, but always wanted a wrangler (who doesn't?) so the wife said "Get the one you really want". If only she knew what she was getting into. Purchased stock expect for...
