    Intermittent CEL / p0138

    Getting intermittent check engine light with p0138 code. I bought this 2004 TJ last Sept then stored it for winter. It runs well but the CEL has been on again off again since I bought it. About 85000 miles. Fuel mileage seems poor (although with my lack of Jeep experience I don’t know what...

    TJ Trektop NX

    I picked up an older, but unused TrepTop NX for my '04 TJ. Inside the aft corners, where the plastic corner support piece slides in, I found an 18 inch (approx) fabric tube (sewn but open on both ends) which is made with same material as the actual top. It was doubled over and slid inside of...

    Mopar manual transmission fluid equivalent

    What's the standard (Mopar Man Trans fluid) MS-9224 equivalent / replacement in Canada? I tried to order the Mopar stuff on-line but it's supposedly no longer available / produced? And it's likely just another product relabelled and sold as "Mopar special" at inflated prices anyways...blah blah...

    Factory / stock wheel diameter

    97-06 Jeep TJ’s. My relatively new-to-me 2004 Sahara (6 cylinder) has 15” wheels which I’m assuming are stock. My buddy says the TJ’s also came with stock 16” wheels. Is that possible? His is 2006. Thx Rol1964

    TJ / Liberty wheel compatibility

    I found a set of 17" wheels with tires off a Liberty (year unknown) for an acceptable price but I'm not sure if they are compatible. They are 235/65R17's mounted and balanced on 5 x 114.3 aluminum wheels. Wheel sizing for 17" wheels on the TJ (from "wheel-size.com" ) shows: 245/65SR/17...

    What is the best way to flush out the inside of the frame?

    My 2004 has (mostly) been stored winters (based in Eastern Canada so harsh winters with salt etc) so it’s in pretty good shape. However, there is quite a bit of crud built up inside the forward frame rails with flaking metal due to interior corrosion (the rear was drilled for drainage but not...

    Searching for a stock fog lamp 2 pin connector... 2004 Sahara 4.0

    Hey folks. I need to replace the 2 pin plug on my RT side factory fog lamp (on the main harness side) as the lock tab will not engage so I have a loose cnxn / no light. I can rewire it with any old scrap of wire and a couple of connectors but I prefer to replace it with a factory plug cause I'm...

    Will replacing downstream O2 sensors increase fuel economy?

    I have read that replacing upstream (sensors 1 on both banks) O2 sensors will improve fuel economy. Is it similar for the downstream sensors if replaced in pairs? Thx Rol1964

    A very nice local dude gave me a rear trunk. It fits well and the holes line up perfectly but there's no nuts on the inside of the fenders on my TJ Sport so .... it's stupid question time: do I have to drill from the other side to make this factory option seat in properly... or is my Jeep...

    How to check stock soft top fitment

    How can I check part numbers to see if a soft top from a 2014 2 door will fit my 2004 TJ? I'm doubtful but it could be a great deal if it will fit...! Thx, Rol1964

    Need O2 sensor replacement advice

    I have the 0138 code (CEL was intermittent but now appears to be more "on" than "off") on my new to me '04 TJ 4.0 135000 kms / 80000 miles. I read somewhere that it's best to replace O2 sensors in pairs i.e.: both downstreams or both upstreams or all four at any time you replace. So is it...

    TJ frame drain holes

    2004 TJ Sarah 4.0 First Jeep. Does the frame have drain holes for accumulated water drilled into the lowest point? I washed it today and noticed water pooled inside the frame in what appears to be a drain hole but this is located well above the lowest point so the rinse water just sat...

    I want to put 17” take off wheels on 04 TJ

    Winter rated tires are mandatory where I live. It's common therefore to buy second hand steel wheels with winter tires mounted to use as sacrificial wheels in our wicked winters! Assuming I can find 17" take offs or aftermarket wheel and tire sets, can I put those on without any adapters? What...
