This is such an annoying problem that has been plaguing me for over a year. I managed to get it through emissions in the narrow window between reconnecting the battery and getting all the emissions monitors ready and before the CEL coming on. The CEL finally came on about half an hour after the...

I had a bit of a boo boo at the weekend - a wheel came off. I guess the studs were stretched. Thankfully it happened at 10MPH but the studs machined out all five holes. Any thoughts on how the lug nut seats look? What options are available besides getting a new wheel? Any thoughts or input is...

Steps I took: 1. Machine sanded dry at 320 grit 2. Cleaned with Dawn Powerwash 3. Cleaned with neat Simple Green. 4. Dried with paper towels At this point the metal was squeaky clean and the paper towels were clean looking. 5. Sprayed with Rustoleum Self-etching Primer, several coats. Air...

I'm not that concerned about the soft top noise level. If I want a quiet ride I will use one of my other vehicles, but as I was switching tops I thought it would be interesting to compare. Old top: Smittybilt circa 2018 New top: Sierra Offroad 2003-2006 TJ Wrangler Soft Top with Tinted...

I have been researching this on and off for a long time but I cannot find something that will do what I want. Any suggestions? I have a Sony XAV-AX3200 headunit. It has a single RCA output to a powered subwoofer. My Jeep didn't come with one. Requirements: - close to as plug-and-play as...

For 2006 there are five different cluster part numbers with descriptions JCD, JDB, JCK etc. and no description of what those mean. 56010678AE 56010679AE 56010680AE 56010681AE 56010682AE Do all 2006 clusters contain the axle lock logic or do the Rubicon versions have their own specific...

I bought these eight months ago and they now look like shit. The website says "Durable satin black powder coat finish". Fortunately they have a 2yr/20,000 mile warranty so Extreme Terrain are sending me replacements, which is good of them. But they really are a chore to install. I can see this...

When I removed one of the plastic flares only three of the holes had nutserts. Looks like sheet metal screws were used for those holes without the nutserts, but they are too small. Should all of the holes have nutserts or do some of them use sheet metal screws instead? Thanks, Andy

Any suggestions on how to get rid of these black lines? I've tried Dawn, Goo Gone and WD40 - they won't touch it. Seems I need to be a little bit more aggressive without damaging the clear coat. Thanks! Andy

75F today and partially cloudy so decided to install a new soft top. Now quite frustrated. On the back of the side windows the zipper is so far apart on each side. I know the fabric has to stretch but it seems quite a way off. Also the zipper on the window side seems to get closer to the window...

I found these loose under the cowl. I presume one for each wiper but I can't see where they go? They are both split. Any ideas? Thanks, Andy

I am getting evap DTCs so I am checking the system as well as fixing the gas tank burping problem as the check valve is now stuck closed. The canister doesn't feel like it has gasoline in it and isn't leaking charcoal. How do I test the pump and make sure the vent is functional? It seems our...

I have a lot of small areas where I can see bare metal so I want to fix those. Because I am not very good with paint I am practicing on a scrap piece of sheet metal. After letting the cleat coat cure for three days I masked off a 2" x 2" square to practice wet sanding and polishing. After...

Started with P0172 (fuel system too rich bank 1) and P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire detected) at the same time and very rough idle. I replaced all four O2 sensors with new NGK/NTK and reset the codes. The idle was now smooth but after 10 miles of driving I got P0133 (O2 sensor slow...

Today, out of the blue I had a rough idle, CEL and these two pending error codes: P0172 = system too rich bank 1 P0300 = random/multiple misfire detected I probably have the original O2 sensors and I am at 99,500 miles so I have ordered all four (plus the socket, the thread chaser, etc.) as...

When driving it wants to drift to the left and when braking it wants to pull to the left. Not hard, but annoying. I jacked up the front and both wheels turn freely with a single finger. Pressing and holding the brake locks them up and releasing the brake they are back to turning freely. So it...

I have Dick Cepek DC-2s but mine are different to images I see online - I have 12 bolts all the way around. Does this indicate an internal bead lock? Thanks, Andy

Here is a video of what I am experiencing. Is this normal for a TJ or excessive? 2" body lift, 33x12.5R15 tires at 28PSI, front springs are 12" high, rear springs are 8" high. What I have done: Installed new Rancho RS55128 on the front and RS55240 on the rear two months ago. Noticed only a...

While poking around the front end of my Jeep I noticed the breather hose was just shoved up against the radiator. There is a clip on the end to attach it to something. Where does this bolt onto? Does anyone have a picture of the mounting point? Thanks! Andy

What is the part number for this clip? Is it 52002044? It attaches the oil cooler line to the bottom of the fan shroud, so it isn't just swinging around and rubbing against things. Thanks! Andy
