    Internal Battery failure

    Hey Guys, Sorry I've been such a stranger lately... Been busy hiking. I've decided that life's too short to work on things forever - it's time to have some fun before I get too old. I still have the Jeeps (my 05 TJ and my 50 M38). I still drive the TJ every day, doors off - windows out -...

    TJ windshield glass

    Hi All, My defroster has just broken my SECOND windshield glass. The original one cracked a couple of years ago when I left the Jeep running to warm up (with the defroster on) . This one cracked while driving. I put on the defroster and within a couple of minutes I had a crack starting at...

    TJ instrument cluster beeping

    Hi everyone, Any one else ever have this happen??? I was driving along and my instrument cluster started beeping (same as it does for the parking brake) . No lights were on and the gauges all were reading OK. I kept going until I found a safe place to pull over and when the Jeep got down to...

    Stuff you've carried in your Jeep that made people look twice

    What things have you carried in or on your Jeep that made people look twice? Here's a 400 pound soapstone sink. I removed the tailgate (I miss the early Jeeps with the lift off gate! ) . I loaded and unloaded it alone using a come-along on the roll bar. -John

    Is the airbag computer (ACM) waterproof?

    Does anyone know how well protected the airbag computer is? I've hosed mine a few times but started being more careful after reading about airbag horror stories. Has anyone submarined theirs? Does anyone else hose out their TJ and spray the computer? It's prime hose-out-the-Jeep weather (get...

    Death Row

    :xI can see five or six nice Cherokees and Grands sitting in the Cash for Clunkers section of an auto dealer I pass every day on my way to work. The Jeeps, along with all of the other vehicles in the C4C section, are waiting on Death Row to have their engines destroyed before they go to the...

    Pinging gone

    Hi all, I've been having a pinging problem with my 05 Wrangler (w/4.0 and 6 spd). It has pinged for a couple of years now if I push it too hard. This made driving on the highway nearly impossible since I don't want to destroy the engine. I have talked to lots of people about it and most...

    driving soft top without rear windows

    Hi all, OK... I've been doing this since the Jeep was new and I think it might be a bad idea... Has anyone damaged their top by driving without the rear windows? I'm thinking it puts a lot of stress on the rear corners. I like to leave the windows out for the early spring and late fall...

    cool engine design

    Not Jeep related at all but other gear heads out there might like this... Check out the Deltic engines that have just been retired in the UK. There is a lot of info on Youtube about them including a cool 3D model. I have seen engines made with two opposed pistons (submarine engines) but never...

    Pinging ("spark knock")

    Hey guys, this is my first post here... I've been around the forum for a little while replying to posts and reading, though... Just thought I'd throw this out there and see if anyone else has had this problem. I have a 2005 TJ X (so 4.0 L) and it has been pinging for some time now. I don't...
