My 2005 TJ has started having a high idle. I'll start it up, and the idle will be normal for two seconds, then shoot up to about 1900. Once warmed up it will idle at 1200 RPM. My code scanner said that I've got a bad TPS. My question is, do I need a new Mopar unit, like this one...

My neighbor was doing a spark plug change on his wife's car, which I believe is a Hyundai. The threads actually broke off of the spark plug. We talked about it for a little bit and I ended up getting a large easy out and we were able to twist the threads out. I was wondering is there a better...

I took the family to the 2025 Jeep Jamboree in upper Pennsylvania. It was a blast! I was able to get two Jeep badge of honor badges, one for Barney Rubble trail and one for Fern Ridge trail. The trip started off on the wrong foot. I had made it 2 hours out of Virginia when the temperature began...

My owner's manual doesn't specify what fluid to use in my transfer case. I've done some google / youtubing and it looks like I should put about 2 quarts of ATF+4 in it. I haven't changed the fluid in my tcase in about 10 years, so I imagine it's time. Anyone able to verify this is correct...

I'd like to get a bottle of threadlocker to throw in my offroading bag, but it looks like there a bunch of flavors out there these days. Essentially I'm looking for a single threadlocker that will do most of what I'd want on my Jeep. Does anyone have opinions on which one is easiest to use? I...

You guys did such a good job diagnosing the "laughing monkeys" that I'm back with another. Driving down the road in my 2005 Jeep TJ 4.0L automatic. When going around 50 mph, and with a wall or car next to me, I'll hear what to me sounds like a paper flapping in the breeze. It only happens...

Hopped in my 2005 4.0L TJ and drove halfway down the street before I noticed a weird noise. It was engine speed related, and would occur in neutral as well. I went back home and took the below video. I turned the Jeep off and back on again and the noise is gone. I've made two trips without the...

I remember hearing somewhere that I should change the drain plug gasket on my TJ every time I change the oil. I'm embarrassed to say that I've never done this. I went on rockauto to grab a couple, but it looks like there are quite a few options, manufacturers, as well as materials. What's...

Two weeks ago me and the boys went on our yearly offroad trip. This time we went back to Burning Rock offroad park and had a great time. It was off season, so we had the park pretty much to ourselves which was cool - it was also really wet. One thing that I noticed is that my TJ had a much...

Been driving the Jeep most of my life and I'd never received a duck before. It finally happened this weekend. Coming out of harbor freight with my daughter., I saw this little guy wedged under my door latch. My daughter was really stoked and already talking about paying it forward. Guess I'm in...

My TJ's rims are pretty beat up, and my 33s are getting warn down - I'm probably a year away from some new rims and tires. I'd really like to get a set of take off JK or JL rubicon take off rims (the ones with the little Jeep on them). I'd be going from a 4.5x5 lug pattern to a 5x5 lug pattern...

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas this year! Hopefully things are going well at your house - we got hit with some sort of bug almost two weeks ago. We're about 80% better but still on the mend. I think we'll be right as rain for New Years. Anyone looking for some good Jeep related gifts?

I noticed a little bit of lean toward the passenger side of my Jeep. After crawling under and looking around it looks like the passenger side spring isn't positioned correctly. In the spring bucket. I've got 3.5 in lift springs so I gather that things are not going to line up perfectly. Is there...

I don't normally follow corporations, let alone wheel corporations, but I have heard of Hoonigan in passing. It turns out that Hoonigan is 1.2 Billion dollars in debt, and has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. Normally I'd shrug my shoulders and move on, but the list of companies that Hoonigan...

I need to take apart a section of exhaust on my mom's Ford Escape - it's only four nuts, and they don't look too bad. I've been hitting them with PB Blaster for a day or two, and I'm about to the point where I want to take them apart. I've got a hefty 1/2 inch Dewalt impact that would likely...

I changed out the bump stops on my 2005 Wrangler. I think it was about time. These old ones are pretty crusty Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

I went from 2.5 in Rough Country springs to some 4-in Rubicon Express springs, and lengthened both my front and rear upper control arms quite a bit during the install. I found that my Jeep handles much better now. Steering is much more responsive. Previously. I could move the wheel left and...

My TJ has a washer on the oil plug / bolt. I remember hearing somewhere (I'm guessing youtube) that this should be changed at every oil change. I've personally never changed my washer. Does anyone change this, or is there a need to? I searched Amazon for a replacement oil plug washer, but...

I see several websites with Rubicon Express springs forsale for really cheap - as in $100 for the rear set and $75 for the front set. My first (spacer) lift was Rubicon Express, and I was really happy with them. I've also heard good things for others, so I'm tempted to buy these springs. My...

Is anybody here bought used parts off of Amazon? I've been having really good luck lately. I just picked up these teraflex shock extensions for 25 bucks instead of the normal $55. Looks like they're brand new and never installed. My guess is someone purchased them and change their mind. I...
