    Need advice on rust and potential TJ purchase

    Good afternoon everyone. I hope this note finds you all well leading up to an amazing Thanksgiving holiday. It’s been a while since I’ve been on this site and it’s been a while since I’ve owned the TJ. I am contemplating a purchase off of eBay but need some advice in reference to the rust on the...

    Cylinder compression issue: Should I fix it or not?

    Thank you all for your thoughts. How difficult would this be to do at home. I’ve got a descent collection of tools and I’m sure I could find a machine shop if necessary. I’ve never done a head gasket before though. Would you attempt it if you were me?

    Cylinder compression issue: Should I fix it or not?

    Thank you all. The $1700 estimate includes a $200.00 allowance for any machining of the head or small crack repair. Engine has 178,000 miles. it needs a new oil pan cover as well. That is where my trepidation lies. Will I be starting a cycle of throwing good money after bad. Maybe a rebuilt...

    Cylinder compression issue: Should I fix it or not?

    Thanks. I will ask the mechanic about hat tomorrow. That said, if it is in fact the head gasket, is $1,700 a reasonable cost for that repair?

    Cylinder compression issue: Should I fix it or not?

    Hello all, I have a 2004 TJ with a 4.0 and six speed. Last week the idle was pretty rough so I decided to change out the spark plugs (even though they were fairly new). I found the plug on cylinder six fouled. I couldn’t quite explain it but I put the new plugs in, cleaned the throttlebody and...

    Towing my dog

    Cargo net for sure. Unfortunately I learned the hard way when one of ours jumped out while I was doing 25mph in our neighborhood. Fortunately he only had some scuffed paws and no fractures. It took a few vet visits and a couple of hundred dollars, but he is fine now. Made for a rough few weeks...

    What’s my Jeep worth

    Thank you both and I’ll pass on the generous offer. Lol As far as pricing around here, it is all over the place. Literally. I was thinking of asking $10k and seeing what I could get for it. Would be happy with $9k (I have more than that in it), but I don’t want to be unreasonable though...

    What’s my Jeep worth

    I am considering selling my 2006 4.0 6-speed wrangler. It has a relatively new aftermarket top, Mickey Thompson tires with great tread on steel wheels. AC works as does cruise control. It has an aftermarket stereo. Interior is relatively clean with one cigarette burn on the driver seat. Jeep has...

    Possible scam warning.

    I have a thread looking for Moab’s. Received the PM pictured below. When I emailed the email address, I received a photo and a request for a postal money order and a quote that they are a “western union agent”. Sender pretended not to know what PayPal is. I said no thanks and now have to worry...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I have the gas burping issue as well. Can you help me understand “actually fix the problem”. I have the referenced part above waiting for install. If there is a better fix, I’d like to know it. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    PCM replacement from fs1.com

    Thanks for posting. Odd they wouldn’t honor the sale given the proximity in time. That’s one reason I always purchase from BestBuy whenever I can. I like the price matching. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
