    Drive wheels

    Personally. I would put chains on back for a few reasons. 1) Ever done cookies on an icy parking lot or on gravel? Which tires lose traction and slide then? Front steering traction makes little difference if rear is not following. 2) Generally speaking, there's more space on back tires for...

    Radio died

    #9 Fuse in power distribution box under hood by battery goes to radio and some other circuits. I think its 50 amp. At least one person blew it when he was installing after market audio. The direct connection idea mentioned could at least tell you if radio was dead or not.

    FM radio problem?

    1) Static headlights on, but not with only parking lights? Maybe bad relay for headlights causing static from burnt contacts sparking? I think there is a relay for high beam and a relay for low beam. Guessing. 2) KJs do have problems with ground wires coming loose / corroding, which causes...

    Fan hub delete options

    The clutch fan on the water pump on KJs was part of the heavy duty tow package. Electric fan was standard. Stock electric works fine unless towing a heavy load. Flat towed a 48 CJ2A 850 miles at 55-60 with O7 KJ with no issues. Some folks run the clutch fan only and works OK for them. Your choice.

Reservoir just caught overflow past cap and let fluid get sucked back in through cap when cooled Bought a 03 KJ and it has the radiator with out the cap. The reservoir has the pressure cap on it. In this setup, the reservoir is pressurized...

    function of this plug is

    KJs had an outside, roof-mounted light bar for off road driving. That plug is probably for that accessory.

    Trail Cooling fans HD plus 1.

    Couple of thoughts on this cooling issue. 1) Would suggest the second electric fan be run via a temperature sensor ( adjustable ?). Independent in case electronics fail? Tweak on temp to get what you want. My 2003 KJ runs at 195 to 205 at freeway speeds My KJ only has factory electric fan. I...

    2005 Liberty Sport Parasitic Draw Issue

    A bit of info. It is normal for a KJ to have a small drain on the battery. This is usually around 110 ma or .11 amp. This current keeps memory alive in various control systems including ECU and radio. I had issue with engine tuning device attached to ODBII port. Found out that the ODBII port in...

    !HELLLLLP! PLEASE

    Several good thoughts on checks. Maybe try another coil pack to see if pack is the problem? Compare pack with original to see how much difference, if any?

    Someone please help! Chirp Noise

    Possibility? I know KK and KJ are different. That said, my 2007 KJ had a chirp occasional from the right under dash when I went over a bump. Same time speedo started reading too high. Turned out to be a loose ground wire under dash. Still not sure what the chirp was? Maybe a short, interrupted...

    Rear Seat Delete

    That machine has a back seat? Would be nice to have photos of the Pioneer that has no back seat? Otherwise, kinda hard to see what was done to it? RThis comment was for the sleezy rider post. When clicked on that photo, went to website with many photos, some showing back seat. Thanks to ccg2301...

    Rear Seat Delete

    The Pioneer was a pickup with a separate cab and and a removable bed behind the fully enclosed front body. Hardly practical for most KJ owners to make this kind of drastic modification.

    Wheel Center Caps

    Have this issue with a new after market OEM style wheel. Thinking I might just put a couple of wraps of black electrical tape around the clip part Anyone tried this? Did the cap stay?

    Removing Front Bumper Air Dam - Dope or Nope? (2005 KJ)

    Only thing I would comment is that you might lose a fraction of a MPG in fuel usage by removing the air dam. And it is said by some that your engine cooling may be slightly less efficient. But it's you Jeep so do what you want to it.

    Bad atlernator or something else?

    Don't want to be discouraging, but I seemed to recall seeing voltage regulation being controlled by ecm (engine control module) in other posts. According to a google search, this is true for 2010 KJ?
