So I finally had enough time off to work on the Jeep. I got the mini-catalytic converters off and they had in fact melted and plugged up the exhaust. I ordered a new set up which should get here Friday. For now I chipped out the honeycomb section and the Jeep runs perfectly. It does not...
Hello all,
I haven't been on the forum for quite some time but I recently started having trouble with my entirely stock (I know it is sad) 2004 Rubicon (4.0L TJ). I have approximately 76,000 miles and do routine oil changes and maintenance. The problem started when, at normal idle, I was...
I am having a similar issue on my 2004 Rubicon. I have headlights, tail lights and turn signals. I have checked the fuse which was fine. I confirmed that the brake light switch (which is activated by the brake pedal) has continuity and functions properly (put continuity tester on and pressed...
Excellent instructions and great pictures. Love the coloring you did to highlight the different parts. How about doing a follow up on bleeding the system!
According to the Chilton Manual for a 1992 YJ 2.5ltr engine the cylinder head cover has a "cured gasket" which is part of the cylinder head cover. Chilton says that if the cured gasket is missing that I must replace the cylinder head cover.
I know that when I removed the cylinder head cover...
Do you get enough travel out of the hydraulic jack to replicate what you get with the hi-lift? I imagine that it can't be the same as a hi-lift but as long as it is enough to get you unstuck. I like this option a lot better than carrying the hi-lift around as it takes up so much less room and...
My son and I are rebuilding his 1992 YJ with 2.5liter engine after the engine suffered a catastrophic failure (very impressive damage). We just got a rebuilt block to start putting the used parts back on but I don't know where the lifting eyes should go. The Chilton's Book just says to hoist...
I good place to start is at Tahuya ORV park (Washington State Department of Natural Resources land) just outside of Belfair. It is easy to find and only an hour away from STW. Tahuya has mostly easy to moderate trails. If you don't want to beat up your Jeep this is a good place to go. Let me...
I went to Walker Valley in December and it seemed pretty good. We only had a couple of hours to play but it looked like there was some good exploring to be done!
Terry,
The PLX and Rev is along the same lines of the Torque app but your setup was much less expensive (bummer for me!). One of the main things I am interested in is the hp/dynometer functions. I want to do some performance mods but also want to know if they really help or just sound and...
I was wondering if anyone has a PLX Kiwi Wifi connected to the iPhone app Rev or any of the other OBDII apps.
If you have what features/functions work? Any issues with connectivity? How is battery life?
For anyone that doesn't know this is a device that plugs in to your OBDII port and then...
I have to agree with Jason4x4. I haven't been on this forum for nearly as long but I am always impressed with how friendly and helpful everyone has been. I have received some extremely useful advice here at Jeepz. I tried out some of the other forums and was not pleased with what I saw there...
Bounty Hunter I am curious if you built an air dam/heat shield for the filter or is it just sitting under the hood? I was wondering about fashioning an air dam out of light duty aluminum (just light enough to be able to work with it without any special tools) with some heat resistant insulation...
