I read that after the order was in. How bad is it?

 

[oscar the grouch]

Its not terrible but ill probably going to cut my own are some point

This beauty came right along at a quick pace! Nice work.

just bought some overland rails

Are you using these for a step or actual protection? I would not lean on them very much as they are more of "nerf bar". I agree with your opinion of JCR, but there sliders are very nice and compliment the WJ very well. And YES, they can take a beating!! I've been thankful more than twice that I have them.

The overland rails were cheap and they have no real step to them. I just needed something to protect the pinch seem. A little. I won't be rock crawling with this jeep. I have another one for that

So today was the first cold day since ive owned the jeep and lets just say it hates cold.

this morning was 15deg and yesterday I changed out the TPS.

So I started it up and let it idle a little bit (5min) and went to take off and the power steering is non responsive. open the hood check the level and its a little low. no worries reved the engine and it worked so ill fill that up as soon as the auto parts store opens.


Then I get to the first stop on my check gauges light comes on and my oil pressure is at zero. Rev the engine a little and it picks back up some. Drive on does it one more time before getting to work. let it sit and idle in the parking lot and it doesnt drop much below half way again. Im confused.

Bad sensors? I read somewhere that 4.0L have a issue regarding that. Can't remember where I read it.

 

[oscar the grouch]

thats my assumption at this point. it didnt do it again when i just ran to lunch so im going to let it be for a bit and see what it does. not an expensive part but still not in a hurry to change anything. Having 2 vehicles is great.

Not sure if you have the 4.7 but this should get you started.

 

[oscar the grouch]

Yeah its the 4.7 and im assuming sending unit aswell.

Check your oil pressure sensor. My 4.7 did the same thing to me, "pressure" would be good and then it would just dip out randomly. Easy to fix to.

Gleep with a waggly tail


Plus I had the issue where one brake light doesn't work with the headlights on. Swapped a set of the.sockets around and good to go again

 

[Ranger Steve]

I need to install me cb. Was thinking of putting the antenna on the passenger side. Not sure yet.

 

[oscar the grouch]

i had that side light out already fixing a brake light issue. the other side will likely get a 2M antenna when I finish my ham training
