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!

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!

Nice article and great pictures to illustrate!

Okay. Thanks for the input. I will give some of these apps a shot and see what happens.

With those mods did you see much change (for good or bad) in your fuel mileage?

Thanks Terry. I will take a look at that app.
