    I bought a Grand Cherokee... I had to

    I quickly learned why the Teves/ATE brakes have a bad reputation... they hung up on me about ½ mile from home. I ordered the Akebono conversion.

    I bought a Grand Cherokee... I had to

    Recently, my fiance's coworker was wanting to scrap her 1999 Grand Cherokee Limited (157k mi) because she was afraid it was going to blow up & the motor was bad (no oil pressure). My lady suggested to her that I look at it & that it might not be as bad as it looks. After code reading turned...

    '05 TJ no start

    Yeah, the 2 security T10 screws that hold the ignition actuator up were easy (no hassle) to remove but the one security T10 that hold the ignition switch was in there so tight, I stripped the torx bit I had & had to run to get another one... They can't make anything easy anymore, can they?

    '05 TJ no start

    Jeeple, I'm in need of tech help!!!! My '05 TJ is dead in the water. It won't start. I just replaced the starter but that wasn't it. I tried to jump the starter, it turns over but won't start. What do I do. It's my only vehicle. I have power to the fuel pump & it primes for pressure but when I...

    in need of All Terrains

    I go through hub bearings about every 6-8 months :'( but it was the rear tires that got eaten... I figured my mud tires would wear even faster

    in need of All Terrains

    I had Goodyear A/Ts on my Jeep at one point but they seemed to wear so quickly... even more so than the KM2s I have on there now

    in need of All Terrains

    The BFGoodrich KM2s that I bought have lasted 4 years (2 are still good) but with the Jeep doing less trail & more grocery getting, I've decided to start the switch to all terrains. I like the BFGoodrich T/As ($165 for 33x10.50x15/$190 for 33x12.50x15)) but I'm on a budget... anybody have any...

    TJ electrical gremlins

    Ok, my buddy's TJ is acting up in that it's popping the running lights/dash light fuse... like as soon as he replaces the fuse with the key in the off position. He said the front driver turn signal socket looks like it got heated enough to melt the Chrysler emblem off of the socket. I'm at a...
