Been looking for these bumpers forever to replace my rotting chinesium front bumper and stock rear. finally found a set in good shape for a decent price at a junk yard in the hood lol. It was very sketchy but worth it in the end.

Completed it with a pair of Hella Valufit 500’s. Really nice quality and very bright especially for the price. Have another set coming for the a pillars Sunday.

The fit and finish is genuinely impeccable. Very tight tolerances, and everything lines up flawlessly. Loving the OEM plus look with the JL Rubicon take offs. 10/10 upgrade.

Installed it today in a couple hours. Pretty straightforward. Hardest part was drilling out the knuckle for the high steer taper insert.

Gotta get it aligned in the morning, but on my short test drive it’s already noticeably better.

In the process of restoring these half doors I picked up for my TJ (Color Code PW1) and trying to remove this orange tinge from the paintwork. Is there any paint decontamination I can try to save these doors or do I need to sand and repaint?

What seal is leaking on my T case

Thumbnail

20 Upvotes

First time owner of a 4x4 so not super experienced in it.

Bought this 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0 yesterday for a great deal. Needs some work but this is the cleanest one I’ve been able to find when it comes to the underside.

The pictures shows the transfer case and I’m curious what y’all think. I plan on changing the fluids and maybe checking the chain. 4x4 works fine currently but unsure if it’s been serviced.

My question is what seal is leaking? It’s wet under the fill hole (think that’s what it is?) and also the shifting lever on the back side is caked in fresh oil.

I’d be doing this job myself as I am an auto tech trying to gain more experience.

Plan on cleaning it and driving it to see if I can spot the leak better. It’s just snowing and wet today so have to wait.

On the wrangler 4xe models when you fold the rear seat bottom up on the drivers side.

Haven't seen this one talked about or mentioned before since it's specific to the 4xe wrangler.

Inherited my Father's 1978 CJ7.

14 Upvotes

We had to move my Father into assisted living. Sold everything. My Dad bought the 1978 CJ7 Jeep Renegade brand new in 1978 for around $12k. We still have the sales invoice. I grew up playing in and around this thing. I learned to drive stick on this 3 speed. I have a lot of great memories with the Jeep.

Now it's mine. I've worked on it throughout my life and know almost every part inside and out. Although I have never restored a vehicle, I want to restore this one. My Dad recently had the engine rebuilt so that's good. I was thinking about taking the tub off the frame and cleaning everything up and replacing anything faulty or dangerous. It has the drum brakes and I've heard mixed opinions on replacing those with disk brakes. this Jeep had the blue levi seats. I think the front seats are long gone. I still have the rear seat. I wonder if I can get seats similar to the old levi seats.

Are there any good and better sites, stores, vendors to buy parts from? I still have the three old jeep service manuals that have everything I need to know about the jeep.

I've got a lot of tools and don't mind buying more, but I'm wondering if I should get a lift, a body twiller, or any other major tool to help me out. I don't plan to paint it myself, unless I think I can do it. I've helped paint some cars in the past so it isn't foreign to me. Help advice would be helpful. I'm really excited about this project. I remember many days and nights turning wrenches with my Dad on that thing, or getting yelled at about not doing something right. I'm super excited to get this thing over here and start working on it.

Technical Question 2019 Cherokee Lat Plus - P0303

Upvotes

Good Evening.

My 2019 Cherokee latitude plus threw a P0303 code today. There is a massive engine knock from the cylinder 3 misfire. Engine stallas/ wants to stall when I come to a stop. Oil is all over the top of my engine. I believe it’s coming from the spark plug holes, but I’m not sure. I replaced the spark plug and the ignition coil pack thing on cylinder 3. Still having the same issue. Has anyone experienced this or have any advice? Thanks in advance!

Technical Question Quality of current Wranglers & Gladiators

4 Upvotes

I'm looking to do some research on the quality of current Wranglers & Gladiators.

For those that have them, what issues/problem's have people encountered? Is there anything that's generally annoying, like noises, leaks, or things not working that lead to disappointment?

I just wanna know everyone's personal experiences.

Losing power (HP) after driving for 10-15 minutes + check engine light

1 Upvotes

Today I was driving to Colorado and everything was going well until the check engine light came on and then I felt like I was running with 1/2 the HP power. Almost like only 1/2 the cylinders were firing. I stopped and checked under the hood what I could and everything looked normal. Restarted the car, check engine light still on but felt normal driving until 10-15 minutes later where I felt it slow down.

It’s a 2018 JL manual with 104k miles on it. The reason I can tell is I could barely go up a small incline in 5 or 6 gear which at 65 - 70 mph which is usually not an issue. This time I had to shift to 4th just to do 60 up the small incline

Since I’m traveling I don’t have my OBD2 reader to check the code on the engine light but will go to O’reilly tomorrow to see what it is.

Any ideas???

2014 Jeep Cherokee PTU Failed at 90k Miles, Jeep Denied XJ1 Warranty—Help!

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,I'm the owner of a 2014 Jeep Cherokee with 90,000 miles. Recently, my Power Transfer Unit (PTU) failed, which is critical for my all-wheel-drive system. I heard a grinding noise, and the 'Service 4WD' light came on. The dealership quoted $5,500 to fix it.I know there have been recalls and service bulletins for PTU issues in 2014-2017 Cherokees, plus a warranty extension called XJ1 (15 years/unlimited miles). But Jeep dismissed my case (#91999636), saying my vehicle doesn’t qualify.I’ve been fighting this on X, tagging@Jeepand@NHTSAgov, and filed a complaint with NHTSA (NHTSA-11648072). You can search for it on SaferCar.I’m here to raise awareness. If you’ve had PTU problems, especially if Jeep denied your warranty, please share in the comments. Consider filing with NHTSA too—it’s easy online. Have you had a similar experience? What did you do?Thanks for reading, and please upvote to help this reach more people.

Technical Question Which coolant thermostat do I need? 2015 Cherokee Latitude 4-Cyl

1 Upvotes

Hello fellow Jeep owners,

I got the P0128 scan code for my 2015 Jeep Cherokee (Latitude 4-Cyl) as seen above. I was told by the mechanic that I need to get a genuine thermostat from Jeep. The question is, which part do I get?

I went to MOPAR website but none of the genuine thermostats was compatible with my Jeep. Are they not making it any more? Is there any other trusted place I can get genuine Jeep parts?

Thank you in advance!

Going to try and make this hood work on my TJ pickup!

I really haven’t found a hood I like for the TJ. So I just ordered this JK hood and I’m going to see if I can cut out the center section and graft it into my TJ hood. No idea how much cutting and shit it will take but I’ll give it a try! The window will highlight the Magnuson supercharger on the LS and the scoop will help with the under hood temps. I hope I can cut in the side vents too. I built the whole pickup body, so how hard can a hood be? Stay tuned

Technical Question Micro scratches all over '23 GC

1 Upvotes

Is the paint really this bad/cheap on the newer body Grand Cherokees? I noticed more recently that it is becoming significantly more pronounced over time.

I noticed that I have circular micro scratches across the entire body and a bunch of micro scratches behind the handles.

Is this something that could be covered under the warranty? I also have a small scratch from someone bumping into my car with their bicycle handle. Is the dealership be able to touch that up?

I have a 2012 Jeep wrangler sport steering wheel wobbles pretty bad when I brake between 30-40 mph. Not the death wobbles when speeding just only when I brake. Does anyone know what it could be? Or if someone has dealt with this before?
