    What did you sell or trade to get your KJ?

    2001 Ford Ranger. Actually a decent vehicle but it was only a single cab. More functional with the KJ

    Can't shift out of 4H P/T or 4H F/T

    Backing up and driving forward reminds me of the old 4x4s when you had to get out of the vehicle and manually lock the hubs into 4wd

    Can't shift out of 4H P/T or 4H F/T

    Well if you got it back into 2wd I wouldn't... play... with it... how bout you just drive it the way you're supposed to drive it and shift it the way it's supposed to be shifted... your owners manual gives you instructions... I wouldn't play with it unless you are still having problems with...

    Off-Road Lighting

    I do believe spotlighting is illegal haha... atleast here in NY... I have the renegade roof lights and they work pretty well... I have seen a lot with hellas or piaas on the front bumper that look pretty functional... not to mention that option would probably be much cheaper than paying for the...

    Can't shift out of 4H P/T or 4H F/T

    I have had this problem before. What had happened was I had the jeep in 4H, forgot to shift it into 2wd before turning it off and then shifted it to 2wd with it off... next time I turned it on I was stuck in 4H... so I shifted it back to 2wd, turned the car off, shifted it to 4H, turned the car...

    Electrical Problems P1491 and P1682

    Quick question... what is the purpose of the Renegade having the larger output alternator... the only extra I can think of is the roof lights, which I couldn't see drawing that much extra?

    I've tried to register over on LOST, so I can PM on this, but there seems to be a problem over there or something, as it refuses to go through... IDK!

    Removed the valve cover

    Not short term for this guy... I love it... It just needs a little, or A LOT, of attention... and that's what she'll get... If I can fix everything and keep up with normal maintenance she should last forever... This one's not going anywhere!

    Oh yeah... there is a tow hitch on it... NOT MOPAR THOUGH... somebody put it on... I bought the jeep with it already there... I have never towed anything with it!

    Removed the valve cover

    So after Ridenby did a carfax report for me, turns out the transmission was replaced once already before I got it and had to replace it again... also, it failed an emissions inspection by the same owner... there were 2 owners that owned it for less than a year each... so I'm guessing whoever the...

    Removed the valve cover

    Being that I have another vehicle, I'm going to address the problems as they happen and I get to them... but for now, just waiting on a specialty tool so I can check the other rocker arms, springs and such and put the new lash adjuster in... If I find more problems with valves or the head, I'll...

    Removed the valve cover

    Actually yes... I was looking at that! Don't know about ebay though, I'd like to know I'm getting what I pay for... clean up my camshaft... install new valve stems, seals, springs, etc... probably reuse the rocker arms... but we'll see... I'll replace what can be seen and put it back together...

    I am ATLEAST the SECOND owner... hell, I'm still on the first set of tires, just to show how long I have NOT owned it... I change the oil every 3000 miles. Reset my trip everytime, and keep track... I just use basic oil... the cheap stuff I guess...

    Removed the valve cover

    I'm really not sure what the previous owner did. I bought it at 64,000 miles. At 82000 miles I had to put a new transmission into it... and now this laundry list of problems... such as leaking power steering, leaking coolant, misfires, and sludge appearently... I've kept up on the regular...
