on a related note - if i buy a 1 year membership, can i edit my posts? i seem to recall reading that earlier but didn't see it mentioned on the membership page.

Tim_MN: I haven't tested fuel pressure - the problem happened over Xmas in TN and I wasn't able to replicate when I got back to DC with my tools. I do have a OBDII reader that shows live data. I spot checked for loose wires and grounds, but I more thorough check is probably in order. What I...

A week ago, my XJ (2001, 4.0, AT, 4WD) started running very rough on *every* hot start - so rough I could barely coax it through a parking lot. It did not go away if I gave it gas, like it would with heat soak. However, if I disconnected the battery for long enough to reset the ECM (~5 min) it...

Follow up: I ended up getting the base model Viper alarm installed for 380. Super happy so far - keyless entry is a nice plus and we have much greater peace of mind leaving it on the street. Not going to bother installing a kill switch, but I'll be pulling the relays any time its left for an...

Yeah. Definitely looking into alarms. Might do a kill switch, or at the very least, pull a relay or fuse before leaving it over night. It's not our DD so the extra effort isn't an issue.

We did!!! Just got the call from the cops an hour ago. It was parked a few miles from our house. Minimal damage (all things considered). Need to replace the steering wheel (they cut it to get around the club), looks like we need to locks etc, and they broke the tail light. The door is a bit...

Hope it's kosher to post this here. My girl's 2001 Amber Pearl XJ was stolen this morning from in front of our house in DC. It's a very rare color, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to post here in case anyone on the forum came across it. Funny, I went out this morning to get some pics of the...

perfect - 4.5 it is. Thanks everyone!

After searching some more it looks like they're commonly called Moab wheels. Pulled this off of Jeep Forums: "What Jeep called the "Moab" rims on the Rubicon model are the same style as the Mamba model MR1X wheels and the Quadratec Moab wheels. The original Jeep wheels came with Jeep logo...

different offset, backspacing isn't indicated. a lot of these websites don't even bother to list the offset.

I'm trying to figure out the specs for my wheels so I can buy a full sized spare to carry in the back. I'm under the impression that these are Wrangler wheels. I found this, which indicates that they're 16x8 with a 45mm offset. But a quick search for the part number on that site (5H923TRMAA)...

correct me if i'm wrong, but won't a 255/75R/15 and 255/70R16 have the same diameter (30.1")? https://tiresize.com/tiresizes/255-75R15.htm https://tiresize.com/tiresizes/255-70R16.htm i thought the only difference could be the weight (both rotational and stationary). good to hear that these...

Hi all First post here. Wanted to thank everyone involved in this forum, it's been incredibly helpful over the last few months with a number of repairs and issues. I've recently run into one I can't find any previous threads about. Back in August, the lady and I bought a 01 XJ Sport. The...
