    3D printed TJ parts

    Howdy! Ever since getting my '02 TJ, I've been replacing parts to start right (it only has 130k miles) some of those parts l've had to design and 3D print, which has saved me a couple hundred dollars minimum. I was wondering if some others have done the same around these parts! I was interested...

    Looking for opinions on 02 TJ Sahara undercarriage condition

    Considering this Florida one-owner 2002 Sahara automatic with 178k miles. Going to see it this weekend and wanting to buy.

    Extremely low idle, poor running

    Anyone ever had this issue? Not a happy camper when being driven for the first time of the day, and once I stop she idle extremely low, in the neighborhood of 350 is my guess. You can feel the steering wheel vibrating as it idles and feels like it runs like crap. TPS is new and IAC has been...

    02 TJ, lurching forward with a slight power loss and bad idling

    My 02 TJ has been jerking and lurching some when first driven after being cold. I just replaced my TPS and cleaned my IAC which fixed my high idle and other issues but feels like the trans and motor aren’t on the same page until the jeep is warm, could it be a bad 02 sensor, bad Crank Position...
