1053823 Yeah, I had never had a vehicle painted before that so I had no idea at the time it was a good deal... I uploaded the pics to Reader Rides (had to do it one photo at a time) I'll let you guys know when they tell me they're up... Cooper. Yeah, Bahrain had some perks... but it had a...

1053827 Sound like the lever may be stuck. Look under there for a metal pad about 1" square. It should be 3-4" behind the front edge of the seat and 3-4" to the right of the left edge of the passenger seat (as seen from sitting in it). Trace it back and hit it with WD-40. Also hit the rails...

1053949 It sounds to me like something is wrong. I have a 97 2.5L but with manual and I get about 20mpg. Since I took the air restrictor out, if I romp on it a lot, it'll go down to 17-18mpg. Is there anything else funny about it? Is it sluggish? What mods have you done? Cooper.[addsig]

1053964 Is your fuel pump in the tank? I had the same problem a year or two ago with my TJ. Uphill, hiccupping, etc. Ther was a leak after the fuel pump inside the tank. When in high throttle it would leak more. When the gas sloshed (shifting gears) it would open the leak more. In both...

1053987 Sounds like your halogen fluid is a little low. Take it to the dealer and ask them to refill it. It's a similar process to recharging the A/C... :-D Cooper.[addsig]

1053999 Way to go, sergeant. Your lance corporal is now embarassing his unit and his corps by asking wayward civilians if his alternator was installed bassackwards... :evil: :-O Okay, on the level. check behind the dash around the switch for your lights. It could also be a weak...

1054044 Okay guys, we need to help this poor soul... read the "headlights cutting voltage" thread. Me and BigTlilODD were joking with benjlever cause he said he didn't want bad advice. Sorry bout that dude! :-( Cooper.[addsig]

1054110 You have to really careful with this. Look around online for a prebuilt setup. http://www.sleeoffroad.com/technical/tz_dual_batteries.htm http://www.rightcoastcrawler.com/billaVista/dual_battery/my_dual_battery_setup.htm Check that out. Not sure if it applies, but it will probably...

1054168 It sounds like any time the load on the alternator increases, it fails to maintain voltage. eg: Lights on (increase load) = voltage drop clutch in (decrease load) = voltage normal Maybe the belt to the alternator is loose. When you say the alternator tested fine, do you mean you...

1054236 fuel pump may be going bad. When higher pressure is needed and it can't supply it, the jeep will "stumble." When you let off the gas (because it stumbled) it returns to normal because the fuel pump can deliver the lower volume. HTH Cooper.[addsig]

1054300 Okay, I'll jump in... Maximum horsepower: What a given engine is capable of producing in an ideal world. Actual horsepower: What the engine produces in the real world. Typically measured on a dyno. Is always smaller (assuming you haven't changed the block itself) than the Maximum...

1044377 I ran across a hint the other day that you could increase the capacity of the TJ gas tank by adjusting the fuel pump assembly (making it hang about 4.5" lower in the tank) has anyone done this or know of better instructions somewhere? Google came up dry. Has anyone tried the new...

1047495 okay, I did this a month a go, and it kicks ass. I did it to my 97 TJ w/ 2.5L and "15gal" tank. It takes about two hours, and it costs me five bucks or so to put real hose clamps on (optional, but a good idea). I'll provide step by step here for those interested. ** Make sure...

1048828 Okay, who watches it? Who wants to see some jeepsters on it? Who hates it? I like it, but I get a little tired (okay, I watched five hours in a row) of the "Jesse James" showcase. Admittedly, the guy has a lot of talent, but it gets old fast. And it would help if there was an...

1049104 Okay, I've changed the rotors on my TJ (due to chrysler using thin POS rotors). Now I have a new problem. My mom's 99 Grand Cherokee is doing the same damn thing (warped rotors). So I found rotors were available, but I can't find any online info on how to put them on. I think...

1053796 hey terry, After trying to insert images in to a post, I thought I would add some photos of my Jeep to the Reader Rides section. It dumped five or six error messages to my browser (you might want to catch those) from upload.php Did I do something wrong or is this feature "under...

1058883 My friend has the above stated vehicle. I have never seen it. She would like me to teach her more about it (how to change oil, filters, etc). She said she was told to lock the hubs when putting it in to 4wd. This doesn't make sense to me. I thought all CJ/YJ/TJ were on the fly...
