    Electrical issues

    I have a 2001 jeep tj, 120k miles. I start the jeep earlier and she fired up just fine. When I turned on the headlights it would loose All power. A few minutes later I could turn on the lights. Turn lights off, start jeep just fine then again total loss of power when I turned on the...

    Rusty Frame in Arizona.

    Rust! I have it. In a perfect world I'd replace the frame. One day I hope to. Maybe even the entire jeep. However, today that's not an option. I'm looking for a welder who can do some patch work for me. I recently talked to a local shop who said they can do it but they left me hanging...

    D35 in Arizona

    I'm pulling out a D35 from my TJ. This is a complete system. I'm replacing everything. Anyone out there have a need for a D35. It's a 5 yr old part. Has between 5-10k miles on it. If you want it or know someone who does let me know. I want to put a little cash in my pocket. But won't...

    On the road again...

    I've been in Key West for a few years. The roads are bumpier than the Rubicon Trail. Off roading means driving across the dirt parking lot at the beach. So loaded up my old jeep and decided to move to Arizona. Watch out Mesa, I'm coming for you. I figured it was about time I make some...

    High Idle

    My 01 TJ wants to idle high. Normally (the past couple months) when I start the jeep it runs about 1,000 rpm for 10 minutes or so. Then it falls down to 500 where it should be. This is true whether I drive the Jeep down the road or just let it sit and run at idol. Today it when I started the...

    Almost Seized tailgate

    My 2001 Tailgate will barely move. It takes 2 hands and everything I've got to open and close the darn thing. I've sprayed the exterior of the hinges and worked them with everything from pb blaster to lithium grease to wd40. I've heard a few people say to drill a small hole in the outer...

    OBD 2 plug

    I have 2 different devices (and an extension Y splitter) that I have tried to connect to the OBD 2 plug. The devices have lights when plugged in but quickly go out. I'm going to check the cables later and make sure it isn't a loose connection. On the other hand I haven had doors on the jeep...

    Rear storage: what's your setup

    Forgive the bad pic. I took out my rear seat and put in a box. I attached a couple cables in the back that are locked to the old seatbelt brackets. This way it's easily removed but don't need to worry about it getting stolen. It's worked well. But as I move into more off road stuff...

    ARB Air compressor and TJ's

    Do you have an ARB compressor in your TJ? Let's see some pictures. How did you install it? I'm installing one but still deciding on a single or double. Today I just need it for the rear locker. (Will be doing front locker in a couple years). I know both will air up tires. I'd love...

    Rubber connectors

    Recently I put on new fenders. This required moving the evaporation canister and fuel pressure regulator. I was so worn out that I didn't check the connections when I put it back. I already had the air intake off so I thought I'd add a throttle body spacer that I've had sitting around...

    Rusty Bolts

    I have these stock step bars. The ends are terribly rusty. I want to get rid of it. Turns out I had to unbolt the front to install new fenders. The back is an issue. I have every size wrench there is. I jest couldn't get a good bite. I don't have access to a torch. Any thoughts on...

    Slow windshield wipers

    I attached a 10 second YouTube video. Basically, my wipers are very slow. They are moving at a steady pace... But they are set to High. They should be going much much faster. I don't have a top on my jeep. I don't plan to drive in any major rain storms but I still like things to work...

    Tail lights : Maxxima (M85416R)

    So new lights came in today. Got them installed. These things look great. Still need to do a few tweaks. The right break/tail light has half the power of the other. While the left flasher has half the power of the right. It's odd. All wired up correctly and used butt connections. All...

    4.56 vs 4.88

    What do you have? What do you like? I'm putting in a new D44. Gearing is between the 4.56 and 4.88. Obviously the 4.88 means more power. But is there really that much difference. Yes, I will be off road. Most of my driving will be in the city going to work (gotta pay for this jeep...

    Winches and alternators

    I'm going to add a winch. Every jeep needs one. Right? I have a yellow top Optima battery. And a stock alternator. Haven't decided on a winch yet. Should I upgrade the alternator and go with a high output. (I've been looking at a mean green). What have you guys done ??

    Can you identify these lights

    A WAL member posted this pic recently. However, I can't find the thread to contact this person. Do you recognize the tail lights or the member. These are the exact lights I want but can't find them anywhere

    Can you identify this part

    I know most everything under the hood except these 2 items. I am embarrassed to say I don't know what they are. I feel like it is something simple and very obvious

    Front TJ Fenders

    in a couple weeks I will be removing the front fenders on my 2001 TJ to add on MetalCloak fenders. I will have 2 fenders with flares and lights. Factory paint, Steel Blue Pearl. The flares are, of course, faded. The fenders have no dents or dings. I will post pictures soon. Im...

    Edward and Margaret Gehrke

    I do apologize first. This is not exactly a 'jeep' post. However, regardless of they type of Jeep we all drive or how we use that rig we all have something in common beyond a brand name. We love the outdoors. We love nature. We love getting away from the hustle of everyday life. We are...
