    My LJ is a pig on fuel. This can't be real life.

    I’ve been in the Jeep world since 2006, and I am not expecting Corolla mileage here or miracles.. but I feel like something is off. Bit of background, I had a 97 5speed 4banger with 250km on the clock.. ran a cheap lift, 31” Duratracs the thing did alright on gas to the point it didn’t concern...

    Changed Plugs, Opinion on condition

    Today I decided to change the plugs on my 05 LJ. Even though the originals only had 34k kilometres on them, I figured being 16 years old I didnt want them seizing in the block. These looks bad to me considering only 34k kilometres, all plugs were bone dry, no wetness so that's good. Installed...

    How is the Sunrider top front portion supposed to sit when folded back?

    This is a feature I seldom use on my LJ OEM/Mopar Sunrider top and not even sure if I am folding it back correctly. But can someone confirm or chime in on how is the fabric that is flipped back supposed to lay/sit above ones head? How I understood the sunrider feature works is, you release the...

    Throttle Bouncy & Uber Sensitive

    On my 05 LJ I feel like the throttle is extremely sensitive. I addressed this issue somewhat by installing a throttle return spring like the earlier TJ's had. The Jeep is a manual if it matters, has 21k miles on it. What I mean by the sensitivity is if I'm driving down the road and I hit an...

    No wear on far edge of tire

    Running 33” Duratracs and noticed that the far edge of the tire clearly isn’t making contact. Is this normal? Running them in a LJ, nothing in it except myself. Tire pressure 25psi.

    What is this foam stuff on my battery terminal?

    Noticed this foam looking stuff on the battery terminal for a while now. Went to connect the Jeep on the battery tender while it’s parked and it seems to almost be more than last time I checked. This is only on the positive terminal too, negative terminal is clean. What gives? I cleaned this off...

    33' Duratracs Contact Area

    I’m sure others on here have this exactly tire. My question Is, do your tires the far outside 1/2” or so on the tread not make contact with the pavement? I’m running these on my 05 LJ at 26 psi and I noticed this and wondering if the pressure should be a bit less to make full contact. All...

    Installed lift, but now it appears my tires are pointing out

    So I installed the very famous OME and Rancho 500x combo lift on my LJ. Paired that with a set of 33s. Front and rear adjustable trackbars. Now when I look at the front of the Jeep it almost appears that my tires are pointing out (toe out?). Curious to know why this would happen as I did not...

    So I’ve had a hard top house for the LJ now for 4 years it was a T type setup and I was lifting it from the center point. It worked well however the top would spin since it was only held at one point. This year I decided to turn the T into an H basically lift from all 4 corners. Well this...

    05 LJ Manual Clutch Pedal Rattle

    Since I've gotten my LJ, 4.5 years ago there is this rattle where the actual pedal itself rattles over bumps. This is not related to it being depressed or not so its not throwout bearing related or anything but it appears that the actual pedal down below has slack in it where when certain bumps...

    Clear Front and Side Markers

    Anyone out there run clear side and front markers? I've seen them around and not sure if this was a European option or what? Thinking they may look decent on a Black LJ.

    Steering wheel shake, tire belt?

    So here is my issue. Few years ago I purchased a set of 31" Goodyear Authority tires, installed them on my 97 TJ with its rims, drove around for about a year and a half and there was always a shimmy on one or two wheels. Being a TJ, with 140k on it I chalked it up as just some worn component...
