What did you do to your TJ today?

How in the world did you get K? 😜

I learned the K part from the FSM, but I messed up the order...it's CKP.

I've got most of that as well, minus the alternator, PCM, and radiator. Sensors are about the only thing I'm concerned about. If a O2 or speed sensor fails, I can still get off the trail. You've got to deal with a lot more heat that kills sensors too.

And I'm missing the starter lol.

I purchased some sensors early on and would bring them to the trail for similar reasoning, and then slowly accumulated more parts knowing availability was going away. I've also dreamed of getting an 05/06 LJ to share parts, but I kinda messed that plan up a bit.

Yea I don't want to use aftermarket sensors unless I have to and then it must be Standard Ignition. Unfortunately that brand is usually not in stock and have to order it.

I've tossed in a few Standard sensors and connector replacements in the cart along the way when doing RockAuto orders...when seeing them for super cheap or wanting a spare for troubleshooting when I couldn't find a Mopar sensor. But I still sought out Mopar sensors to help eliminate issues moving forward.

I officially learned my lesson when a Crown CPS worked just find for many months and then randomly left me stranded in the rain.

Another big one I forgot to mention is to have at least one spare Dorman ignition actuator (the pot metal in mine randomly broke but I had a spare). I also have a spare ignition sensor.

I've had good luck with SI parts. I've read that they make a lot of the Mopar parts.

Gosh, if he doesn't I want his address and I'll send him some, no matter the cost. A RC and a Moon Pie (vanilla, I hate chocolate anything).


Just did a quick search online for them and yes we do have them, just !!.... In the next city about a 90 min drive away haha..(its an international shop selling food and snacks from Mexico USA and the UK.)

I'm sure the following will draw the ire of some here, but If I were you, I would NOT recommend a 3 hour round trip just to try a Moon Pie. Personally, I wouldn't walk next door for one, but to each their own. You can simulate the effect of eating one by mashing a stale marshmallow between two scraps of old corrugated cardboard, then coating the result in high paraffin content chocolate... :sneaky:
