...three years I've been waiting to buy this thing. Three years of looking at the web page. Three years teaches a man to hate... Oh but seriously, my scangauge just came in and I'm completely stoked. Now I've got gauges for so many things that I have no idea what they mean. I drove to...

I'm swapping out my old tensioner for the new Dayco model, and I noticed that the new idler pulley is considerably larger than the old one. Simply put, what gives? Should I be concerned I got the wrong one? Experts, what say you?

Was on the Ferry from Vashon Is. back to Seattle yesterday, and this guy pulled up next to me. Had he been alone I would have stepped out and asked him about it, but he was on his phone and had people in the car. I've never seen this rear bumper before. This guy was pretty well lifted, he...

Am trying to compress rear (passenger side) caliper piston down far enough to get new pads over rotor, and I can't physically compress piston down far enough. Bottom pad goes on, but top pad won't go on with enough space between them to slide over rotor. I have literally destoyed one very...

I was doing a little spring maintenance and I noticed that there was this mysterious rubber hose attached to a plastic insert which appeared to be melted and gooey. Upon further inspection, I traced this rubber hose to the front diff- so it's the diff breather. As I inspected the hose, the...

This weekend while driving my happy self southbound on the I5 I sore a libby with a very odd configuration and color scheme, and it looked stock-- or 'factory'. It was a white libby, I believe in the 02-04 range (I don't recall the 05-07 style marker lights) with POWDER BLUE Renegade style...

HOW TO: Install Waterpump (3.7l engine) Initial notes: Some manuals suggest you remove the electric fan/shroud. I found no advantage to removing this (except it may have given me a couple of extra inches of working room) so I left it in. The choice is yours. The fan shroud is not...

So, as some of you may know, I had posted a thread indicating my water pump was a'goin' and I was planning to change it the weekend of the 12th. Whelp, she didn't make it. She's been making more and more disturbing noises and today as I was driving, I got three dings, no dash lights, looked...

Got a water pump on the downward spiral. Any recommendations on brands? I see there are the basic OEM replacements, and then I see a few 'premium' brands (for more greenbacks, natch). Just curious what everyone thinks... should I stick with OEM or get a premium?

Got stranded in a parking lot this afternoon where the KJ wouldn't start. Had full electrics in the vehicle, headlights, instruments, dash throwing no codes at all. Just showing 'done'. Battery reading 12.41 volts. Haven't load tested it though, but it seems good-- tow truck driver felt it...

Was watching a show on the Military Channel last night, and one of the 4wd military vehicles used by the Israeli's used a kind of corrugated, soft ruber tube for the snorkel. I was fascinated by this because it would make running an inexpensive snorkel very easy, and cheap to replace. There...

After watching an incredibly slow leak of...something oily from the center/drivers side of the front of the engine, I have now traced it with absolute certainty that it's coolant. I ran for a while strongly believing it was a weeping power steering hose, but I have now ruled that out. I traced...

Did a little offroading up in the mts a few weeks ago. Pics and video to prove it happened: I'm running point with my friend's 87 toyota pulling up the rear: From the window: Terrain shots: The 'flex': Jealous friend trying to be me: View...

Just wondering if it's worth it to people to have a how-to on replacing the headlight holder. Or heck, maybe someone could point me to one. I received my brand-spanking new headlight holder from the lovely and talented TPI Monte SS (pleasure doin' bidness with you) and I stepped onto my...

So went out a'wheelin' this weekend (pics to be provided later- that's right, white knuckle wheeling, no lift, read 'em and weep) and for a large portion of the trip my Transfer Case Position sensor was whacked exactly the same way so many others complain of. Shows 'PART TIME' when I'm in 2h...

Maintenance is killing me.

My service contract is about to wind down, and I'm ramping up to start all my own maintenance. I decided to take out one of my plugs, just to have a look-see, and now I'm wondering if they've ever been changed. Opinions? These look awfully corroded. I've got 72k (miles) on my Jeep.

I knew when I said "Pics" that would get everyone's attention. Anyhoo, I had been toying for some time (over a year, really) to try some way to customize some bits of my dash, display, add a splash of color for some pizazz and started looking into painting dash plastic. "Yeah, it'll never...

...and my Adaptive One Ceramic pads. I'm all tingly...

Over the last few days, I've noticed a very, VERY subtle 'buzzing' noise at low to moderate speeds. Generally, it seems to come from the rear end. It sounds a bit like someone in a field nearby is using a leafblower. It revs up when I speed up and slows down when I slow down. I dropped the...
