    O2 sensor is in self-test mode?

    So, FYI....local dealership did the TSB repair at no cost. Got to love that. Still waiting for the I/M readyness to clear. Says it can take a few days of normal driving cycles. 1 down...

    Still on 33's. She's a weekend toy. I've owned her for 11 years now, and have only put ~25k miles on her. 4+ years on those 33's, and only enough miles for one tire rotation. :( Besides, no one in our club has anything larger than 33's, and I have gone everywhere they have. Will probably go...

    Once. But that is a full size sleeping bag in the hammock. It's tight. No ridgeline, and no where near as much sag as I would prefer. I'm 5'8" So it was doable.

    Grt_Ape's 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon

    Had plenty of fun on stock tires Obligatory poser shot First taste of 33's at Kids on the Rocks - annual run put on by Mud, Sweat, and Gears Another Scout training, another excuse to use my Jeep to hang my hammock. New shoes (305/70R16) justified a trip to both Iron Lakes and Star Lakes

    You can hang a hammock INSIDE an LJ. You just get real up close with your top.

    Grt_Ape's 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon

    I sold a '67 Mustang and took a leap of faith purchasing a modified '48 CJ2A. Growing family forced a venture into a larger, more reliable ride. Bought her used in May 2007 from a private sale. Stock flex was unimpressive Never skip Leg Day. 3" lift with stock tires. :) Flex getting better

    Should I go with 4.88 or 5.13 gears?

    I had this same debate for a long time before settling on 4.88's. Wish I would have gone with the 5.13's. On flat ground near sea level she feels stock. In the mountains above 6000' she struggles on the hwy in hilly terrain. I lock out OD, but sometimes 3rd won't hold 55mph on an uphill...

    A great experience with Blue Monkey Motorsports (the company who sells the SpeedoHealer)

    Glad to hear you had a good experience. I'm reading about 5mph faster than actual speed after 33's and 4.88's. Have been looking at Blue Monkey as a solution. I was an active member of another Rubicon specific forum (ROF) about 11 years ago. Lots of great info, but site was sold, and a lot of...

    O2 sensor is in self-test mode?

    No codes on scanner, and if I key on / off 3 times the odometer only shows "dONe" with no codes there either. But if I key on without starting the engine, the MIL flashes. This is consistent with the scanner indicating o2 sensor I/M readiness failure. Further research has led me to believe my...
