You are making too much logical sense, especially when I can get a new one pretty and powdercoated lol. I like your thinking but I am slowly upgrading the jeep and making her a little more "flashy" (radiator hoses went out so I got matching blue ones)

Great point

Da, thank you very much. Right now everything seems to be going great. I have an intermittent voltage drop to 9 like every 5th time i start the car. I think the alternator is going out (although my tests with a multimeter does not indicate that since I have not been able to verify while it was...

So I don't really have the option to do a rewind on the jeep and my alternator is going out. I have a 2000 jeep cherokee with about 200,000 (and still original alternator). Any suggestions on which "off the shelf" alternator I should look at. I have a big stereo system but the stock 117 seems...

So i have a rattle that is pretty consistent, I feel like I have checked everything but cant find anything. It sounds like a wooden ball is rattling around in the front. Does not do it in idle, only when driving. Does it even if I tap the brakes (so assuming not the brake pads rattling), checked...

Do I need 17 inch wheels for that?

So I want to do a “big brake” kit for my new since I haul my boat with it. Cost isn’t an issue. I have 16 inch rims on 4 inch backspacing. Can anyone point me in a direction? Should I go with 17 inch rims first?

Does anyone have any part numbers or locations I can buy a new CCV (the breather line near the driver). I busted mine this weekend changing the valve cover gasket. I already replaced the actual vents but I demolished the actual hard plastic line that connects the manifold to the valve cover. I...

Thought it would be fun to have a thread for Black Friday deals.

Thought it would be fun to have a thread listing any Jeep Black Friday deals that we find.

Solid advise. It did get better for awhile after cleaning the iac and only happens sporadically 2 in 10 starts.

It happens both hot or cold and only sometimes. It got better when I cleaned the iac but started happening back again after 2-3 weeks after the cleaning session. Only happens sporadically and once I'm past the rough start never gives me any issues.

So my jeep is lately having an issue where it will not really want to start. If i give it a little gas it will start up fine. Right now its like 30% of the time this happens. I removed my throttle body 2 weeks ago and cleaned everything, including the IAC. The problem seemed to quit for about...

Thank you very much!!!

Guys I am going to be buying a crate motor soon. Any recommendations between Golen, Precision, or another company? I really am just looking for a little more power and the same durability as the original 4.0. This will be my DD but I also use my jeep to haul a 21'ft boat.
