Installed a new oil pressure sensor in my 01 Wrangler. The oil pressure was originally reading high (80). Found through this forum that this is a common issue and was a quick fix. Locating the sensor was easy. Do not waste money on the special sensor socket, it usually doesn't fit if the original sensor is in, instead just use a 1 1/16" deep socket. It is a tight fit with the ratchet and socket, some swear words help. Now project Chiqui reads the oil correctly at 40. Once again, thanks to everyone on this forum for all the extra knowledge.
What did you do to your TJ today?

Got my half doors on. Getting some upper door frames this weekend possibly so hopefully I don’t rained on too much. Also scraped some of the paint off the fender flares and put some black bumper and trim paint on them. Still look like shit but it’s a consistent color of shit so that helps
Thank you for making me giggle at the end of a stressful day at the office, kincaid.0678! That shot of endorphins was just what I needed.
Glad to be of service lol I thought about trying to pull them off and sand and paint them right but figured I’d put more work in with the fasteners than it was worth. Maybe I’ll get a new set and cross that bridge another day but until then the shit I have and know could be better than the shit I could get myself into with the unknown

I'm always looking for a good set of Rubicon flares.
Mine need to be cleaned up and painted, not something I'm willing to do. I'll certainly give people on this forum a heads up if I switch them out.
Nice! I actually ordered a China special off Scamazon today for...I dunno...$165? Don't remember the brand. Doesn't matter
. It's only on for summer when I can have the top down. In the meantime I had to put my wrecked one back in place and screwed up the passenger zipper. I chose to Jimmy it and reinforce with zip ties. Thankful for good velcro

Zip ties and Velcro !!! ….. all you’re missing is the duck tape .
Three of the best inventions the last 100 years in my opinion

I just want miles off, not a bunch of bodywork!
Looking at the top edge of the inner panel I think you have a set of yj doors. They will still work but you will need yj style strikers. You also have to modify the interior handle because it will interfere with the dash. Also uppers for the yj won't fit the tj door surrounds and the tj uppers need modification to one of the pins to fit the yj door. With all the other work you've been doing this should be a walk in the park.
I guess they were TJ doors because the strikers that I purchased from deadjeep.com worked properly. Thankfully I didn’t have to try to piece it all together
Size of tires depends on the size of the gears you have. I have 31's with 4.10 gears , I will like them better when I get the 4.56 gears installed. It's not about how it looks it's about how it runs. I wouldn't want 33's or 35's with 3.07 gears for sure !!!!!

The H&R Springs you installed. Did you have any measurable shift of your differentials after? I couldn’t imagine it being more than 1/8” or so. I am running stock non-adjustable track bars so it got me to wondering…
