    emissions test

    1048661 Okay, had some time on my hands. Here's what I came up with. Check this link: http://www.dmv.dot.state.nc.us/enforcement/emissionsinspections/pdf/CR435NCDOTEnforcement.pdf If you're on a modem, it may take a while to get, but it's worth it. Basically, here is what it says...

    Climb on in... if you can

    1048778 I agree with hunter, take the back seat out if you need more room. I left mine in California somewhere two years ago and haven't missed it once. Cooper.[addsig]

    Frame Paint???

    1048798 I've heard a lot of good things about POR-15. Stands for "Paint Over Rust" I haven't tried it yet myself but plan to shortly. The only thing I'm holding out on is how well it handles road salt (important for those of us up north). I suppose I could look it up, but since I don't...

    1994 JEEP CHEROKEE STALLING

    1048888 I have a friend who had a similar problem with her 90 cherokee. I don't know if it applies to the 94, but her problem was stalling for no reason at random. She said her temp guage would sometimes spike right before it died. Apparently the cherokees have a problem with air in the...

    TJ dash access

    1048915 Take a flat blade screw driver, and pry the defrost grate up starting at one corner. Work your way down the length prying a little as you go. Don't know about the bit size for the seats. When you remove the center console it takes a little pulling before it'll come loose. Not...

    $#@^%$ rotors!

    1049134 does the transfer case have "part-time 4wd"? It seems like rotors are readily available for 98 and older grands, but 99 and newer is really scarce. I'm guessing this means they are different somehow. Hopefully nothing major. My concern is how they perform the "part-time" bit...

    gas mileage stinks!

    1049633 keep in mind the gasoline is "winterized" is some states. This causes a lot of folks to drop 2-3mpg during the winter months. I wonder if a drop in efficiency was taken in to account when they started that crap. Is it truely environmentally friendly if everyone then uses more gas...

    YEEAARG!! Need help with torx!!!

    1049639 1.) Fire up plasma cutter. 2.) With a smooth, continuous motion, run the plasma cutter from the driver's side to the passenger side at the junction between the windshield frame and the body. 3.) Allow windshield to crash to the floor and shatter. Don't worry, this is supposed to be...

    Is there any way to get wax off of my fenders!?

    1049661 stiff bristle brush and some dish washing soap. small circles. Wax on, wax off. Very good, Megan-san. you may want to use a piece of cardboard or something similar to protect the paint from the bristles. oh yeah, don't use a metal bristle brush. A thought passed my mind about...

    YEEAARG!! Need help with torx!!!

    1049730 I have a pair of KC Daylighters mounted in the same spot. I just drilled a hole through the lower half of the hinge (and the body...). It comes out right behind the dash. Make the diameter the diameter of a two conductor connector, thread it. Apply some anti-sieze compound to the...

    Warranty Questions?

    1049910 Also, if the dealer gives you crap tell him/her/it you're calling the Better Business Bureau (did I spell that right?). There are some cases where the dealership may be right. For example, a few years ago my dad put a tighter suspension on his ford exploder. Within a month the...

    97 tj gas tank

    1047496 OOPS. Sorry guys, didn't see this thread. I saw the YJ gas tank mod and posted the detailed (damn I ramble) TJ mod on a new thread. Check it out if you want step by step. Haven't had my coffee yet. jcooper.[addsig]

    FREE bigger tank for TJ too (little more work than YJ)

    1047498 Thanks, common sense prevails. I wish I had thought of that when I did mine. I think I smelled gas for two days despite several showers. jcooper.[addsig]

    FREE bigger tank for TJ too (little more work than YJ)

    1047509 Raven, Yeah, I saw that when I originally asked about a month ago. I though about it (being an over-analytical engineer, could you tell?) And decided the minimal-damage approach should work. The relief tube ( is that really the right name for it, I'm not sure), when covered by...

    increase tj power

    1047515 Hey, thanks! I just went outside (it's a balmy 48 in Baltimore) and pulled that sucker out. Put the jeep back together and drove it around. Definitely more responsive. Will keep an eye on the gas milage and see how it looks. btw - the "insert" is about a foot long and ~2.5"...

    increase tj power

    1047524 I'll admit, I'm at a loss as to why it may affect emissions, but I also kept the part just in case. The only thing I can think of is California doesn't like the K&N for whatever reason, so opening up the flow even more may cause other state emissions tests to fail. Does...
