Week ago I was driving my daughter to school. Jeep died, got it started again, but died almost immediately. Had it towed to a shop on Thursday, found out by last Friday the engine is seized. Not sure what caused this. I check the oil frequently. Had filter and oil changed in March. No puddles of...

Yesterday morning I was taking my daughter to school when our '04 kj died while waiting at a left turn light. At first it wouldn't start as I was rapidly dialing phone calls to my wife. I did get her turned over, but if you know anything about St. Louis, it's rather hilly. Barely made it up the...

Okay, I've a solid plan for fixing up our '04 KJ. Replaced one tire two weeks ago, will have next two done (hopefully) by the end of January. Next is brakes. And while there's several other issues I'm looking at, wife's request is to have shocks and struts done. She has back issues and every...

Wife and I dealt with only having air and heat with the fan setting on 3. It was actually Researching that issues that I found this forum and the how-to fix it thread. Unforitunily I didn't have the funds until recently to swap out the dead resistor pack on the fan wiring harness. Worked right...

I have to admit, I'm not that great driving at night. Now that I'm getting older and just had to get glasses (bifocals to boot!) for the first time in my life. Normally I'd get Sylvania SilverStars. Now I see they've got UltraStars as well. What I'd like to know is are they like those blue...

Hope nobody minds that I ask a few unrelated questions. But while I'm trying to get a few things done, I'm trying to plan a head some other repairs or changes I'd like to do with my KJ which my daughter named "Vader" after seeing Starwars. So, after getting brakes done, tires replaced...

Since pretty much all vehicles now have at least one, if not two on board computers controlling just about everything going on. Most of the so called mileage improvement accessories are negated by the computer automatically adjusting accordingly. I did see one device I'd like to know if...

I mentioned in a few threads I'd been hit a few times in the past 10 months. Thankfully there's no major body damage. Basically it's a lot of cracked and missing (aka popped off) plastic bits. I'll take photo's tomorrow and post online. Thanks to many folks here I now have access to parts and...

One issue I've been struggling with is what to do about the driver's side seat in our '04. Should I get a used one off Craigslist or via Car-parts. Or I could have the frame welded for $100 or so, but that doesn't fix the broken lumbar handle or the padding that's thinned out. Of course I could...

My family and I moved to St. Louis in 2013. This year has been terrible for us, as we've been rear ended twice, and then my wife had an ops and hit a parked car. So our 2004 KJ looks like it's been through hell and back. But we own it, so it's worth having fixed up with only 75K miles on it...

I just started working again, and one of the things I really need to get done soon is replace some tires and one rim. Our 2004 KJ came with Wrangler P235/70R16SL tires. Earlier this year before I was working I had a flat. A friend loaned us the money to buy an inexpensive off brand called...

My family and I moved to St. Louis in 2013. It's been a rough few years due to health issues, but I kept the faith and after being off work for several years due to health issues tossed in on top of a weak economy. Now I need to take care of some issues our KJ has. Now some would wonder why...

I was rear ended on January 14th. Most of the external damage is superficial, but 6driver's seat is toast as I flung forward then snapped back by the seat belt. I'm a big guy at 6' and 270lbs. The frame snapped were it attached to the electric adjuster and later when we tried to adjust the seat...

Registered a while back, hadn't time to post much with computer crash. Looking to talk with other KJ owners on how to fix up our beloved family Jeep my daughter has named Vader after watching Star Wars. (It's black of course!)

In 2010 I moved in with my then fiance. Shortly there after we determined my '88 S-10 needed to be put down. We've been sharing the jeep since. One thing I notice is it really sucks gas! I had an '02 renegade version, and I don't remember it sucking as much gas down! Before I moved in, my...
