    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Looks like my 02 bit the bust yesterday. I was on the last 30min of the mail route and cylinder #1 let go. Poor thing started bucking and stalling as I accelerated off a side road onto the highway. Gently got to my next side road and stopped. 3 key switches and had p0301. Got out, unhooked the...

    Rear upper control arm broken bolt

    Totally my bad...I was referring to the wrong thing. They stripped out the upper control arm mounting threads on each side. Not the center.

    Rear upper control arm broken bolt

    And if "someone" stripped the bolt hole out? What would be the tap size? One of the carriers in out office has a factory right drive and his people can't figure out how to fix it

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Even tho it was way too hot, the little stuff I did, seems to have helped out on a few issues. Fan clutch installed, new map sensor, new coolant temp sensor, also replaced the ambient/compass sensor, wrapped wires that were missing the wrap. So this vibration I would get went away. Figure...

    Got the old clutch off, what a pain in the tail!! Really jus cooling off and thinking while typing (all the stuff I wanna do). So the heavy cooling system is an option? Didn't know. Have the big plastic fan that mounts to the water pump, plus the electric. Don't hear the electric to often so...

    Ironman 4x4 Kit for $525 - starting a build

    Well... Imo...and it is jus an opinion. I have a great ride with the Bil shocks and OME springs. I could corner on pavement at higher speeds, not suggesting it should be driven that way, but "I AM A PROFESSIONAL DRIVER" on an open road. AND...I could ride the roughest roads and climb any...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Mail route wears everything out 4 sure. Doesn't matter what you drive. Need the beefiest of parts. Wears me out also. Roads are rough and lumpy. Country chip seal roads with no actual level to them, pot holes every where. One day....I wanna post a video to the FB page.

    O2 sensor replacement gives better gas mileage

    Now I want to change all 4! Looked at them last night after my posting reply on my 2 days of driving my mail route. The whole exhaust system looks OG, up to the muffler. So could be a huge part of my fuel mileage issue. Will wait for a good scan gun diagnosis.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Wish there was *A WAY* to bypass that restrictive garbage. Don't know what a "good" scan tool is...open to suggestions tho. Would love to have one!! And yes...I have visibility checked the ENTIRE under belly of this beast. Wires look well and wrapped with heat sleeves. One sleeve was kinda up...
