    Colorado Krew Hangout

    We will be driving other places to do other activities and thought I would need it to go to other places. Of course if any of the places are open. I was told if you were going to go up in elevation that a 4x4 is needed. If we try to snowmobile or train ride or whatever. Thanks for the input...

    Colorado Krew Hangout

    Ok here is a series of "Stupid Questions" from a Texan who has only driven in snow a few times. I'm going to Boulder for a wedding the 3rd week of January. My only 4x4 is my LJ and I'm not driving it from Texas. I thought about flat towing it behind my truck and then having it to drive around...

    WTB: Anybody got some old headlight lenses?

    I bought some OE headlights from a '08 later JK off Craigslist and then put LED bulbs in them. Plug/play wiring pigtails from amazon. They work good.

    2006 Black Wrangler LJ in Texas

    I manage to get the dash out and replaced the evap core and heater core and back together. So far the only issue is now the steering wheel locks upside down. Probably something with the clock spring. I'll check and fix it later. I got it back together before work called so that's good. I'll get...

    Thinking of moving to Texas

    I live in Cypress, far Northwest Houston. There are +/- to anywhere in the state. Some aren't aware so if you already know then ignore.

    2006 Black Wrangler LJ in Texas

    So after I replaced the OPDA I had to check to see if I was 1 tooth off. In the process of the checking TDC I pulled #1 plug and at 150,000 miles they might have been the original plugs. If not they have been on there for a while. I ended up replacing them of course. The old ones had a gap...

    Anyone know how to test a camshaft position sensor on a 2006 4.0 TJ?

    I never changed/replaced the crank sensor. I also still have the plastic pin sent with the new opda. I needed it once who knows when I might need it again. Hope it goes well for you. MOE

    Anyone know how to test a camshaft position sensor on a 2006 4.0 TJ?

    I also put the original cam sensor in the new opda when I first installed it.

    Anyone know how to test a camshaft position sensor on a 2006 4.0 TJ?

    When I replaced the opda in my 06 LJ I used a aluminum rivet I had laying around to put in the old opda to mark I was in the correct timing position. I replaced the opda and it cranked right up but had the same sputter on hard acceleration as you are mentioning. It also had a check engine light...

    I also had to replace the oil pump drive assembly (aka distributor). It had the problem all '06s have with the monkey squeeling and such. Hopefully I got it before there was damage to the camshaft that some others had talked about. The worm gear on the bottom of the OPDA didn't look damaged.

    2006 Black Wrangler LJ in Texas

    I had a radiator leak for a week or so and didn't know. I replaced it with the Moshimoto radiator. It says direct bolt in, the holes line up but none of the bolts are correct nor the coolant line adaptors sent in the box. I am happy with the radiator despite those issues.

    2006 Black Wrangler LJ in Texas

    Bought a soft top for Spring and Fall. Just put it on last week and then went to Surfside Beach for St Patrick's day weekend. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate, but we had fun anyway. A little fuzzy on the blown up beach pic.
