Yeah, the power grid, gas industry, water supply, you name it, it's probably controlled wirelessly via SCADA and most likely insecure. Aint life grand? Y2k is kiddie poo poo compared to this. I love how some new guy realizes this every few years, panics, tries to get everyone to care, and everyone else pretty much yawns and goes "we said that when we got hired too and management still doesn't think it's a priority. Have fun arguing about it though."

I cannot for the life of me find any nearby or online. You need one for an LHD 87-94 IIRC. I have one in my 98 since crash repair was done with panels off a 92 and there's no hole for the 97+ washer fluid tank opening in the fender, if you feel like driving down to Woburn it's all yours, just warn me a day ahead so I can pull it.

The one I have for you has a custom "feature" I added, BTW. I warmed it up a bit (it's just polyethylene) with a propane blowtorch and reformed it so it'll barely clear a double diaphragm late model XJ brake booster. Has been holding water fine for years, so no worries there. So now you have no excuse to not swap to double diaphragm A 95-96 without ABS is probably your easiest swap candidate but I'm not sure it'll line up with your brake pedal box and brake light switch now that I think about it.

2012 JK Sport, 3.6/auto. No other noticeable symptoms, no identifiable trend. Happens randomly, sometimes multiple times per day sometimes there are a couple of days in between. Wheel speed sensor? If not, what the gently caress? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zftve5GwSo Actual speed ~65 probably.

I have a 1999 XJ 4.0, np242 t-case, 2 inch lift with 1 inch drop spacers. I am about to take this vehicle on a 3000 mile road trip in 9 days and it's having two maybe related problems (related to me being a dumbass and trying to fix poo poo). I noticed the engine mounts were severely warn so I went to change them and decided to do the transmission mount. While doing this I heard a couple lovely noises back toward the transfer case while lifting the motor and may have lifted it slightly too high. The new (Brown Dog) motor mounts went in but the passenger side one is pinched pretty severely. I sent pictures to Brown Dog and they say it is within spec and I also had a guy at Hooligan Offroad look at it he said it looks okay. Here is a pic of the motor mount in question, I feel like it is pinched severely. I can't tell from any visible angle whether the metal on the bushing is bent but I think it is:  gently caress up number two: I was doing a transmission fluid drain and flush and it turned into a loving nightmare. The drain bolt was stripped so I had to drop the pan and retap the hole. I had the transfer case supported on a lovely harbor freight hydraulic jack while I had the crossmember off to drop the pan. A bunch of stupid poo poo ensued that caused me to spend the rest of the afternoon cussing and removing broken poo poo with ez-outs and drilling and tapping threads into my transmission. I ended up having to leave the transfer case on the jack over night before I could put the pan back up and reinstall the cross member and when I woke up the jack had kindly lowered itself and the drive line was hanging by (I guess) the driveshafts. I panicked and got the poo poo back up on the jack immediately but who knows how long it hung there. After all this bullshit my Jeep now has a severe vibration while sitting still and moving at very low speed (<5mph) that it didn't have before (I don't think, I didn't get much of a chance to drive it on the new motor mounts). This vibration only occurs in drive gears (drive, reverse) and not at all in neutral or drive. Also, intermittently and only at low speeds I will feel a clunk under or in front of my feet when applying the throttle, and sometimes when letting off the throttle. The clunk also sometimes occurs when braking from low speed coasting. Also, it will sometimes clunk in reverse. However, sometimes I can't get it to clunk at all. In the parking lot at work it clunks its rear end off every time I apply or let off the throttle but in my neighborhood on the way home it didn't do it one single time. Neither of these was happening until I did the motor mounts and let the drive line hang so I'm worried I hosed something up, please give me some advice. I have to leave for this trip in 9 days and if my driveline explodes on the side of the road somewhere in middle America my wife will likely kill me. pics of bullshit:

XJ's have this problem a lot too--the airbag light will come on, all the gauges drop to zero, etc. and you just need to push in the upper right corner near the connector to fix it. Try pushing the cluster to see if it makes everything snap back to normal.

Am I crazy for wanting to trade my 08 honda fit for a 2000 wrangler? has about 20k more miles, 4 cyl RWD but worse on gas. 2.5 inch lift, 33" tires. I love the fit's gas mileage but it's not a 'fun' car by any stretch.

Don't get a 4 cylinder Wrangler, they're dangerously slow from what I hear. Swapping a 4.0 into it won't exactly be easy, either, as you'd need a transmission to go with it.

Yeah, a 6cyl swap is not simple. Engine, trans, new mounts to weld to the frame since the frame horns are different between 4/6cyl wranglers, transfer case input gear, both driveshafts (at least as far as I know), entire engine compartment wiring harness, power steering and AC hoses, all engine accessories, ECU, possibly the radiator, definitely the fan shroud, it's a pretty involved swap. I don't know why anyone buys 4cyl wranglers, TBH. Every one I have ever ridden in was underpowered stock and criminally underpowered when lifted. It's shaped like a tall brick, making it a taller brick with larger tires will never improve that. I am glad they do though because every 4cyl 5 speed wrangler that gets bought means another 4.10:1 geared set of axles in the junkyard eventually

I drove a 4 cyl wrangler for a while. It was _intensely_ slow, but it was a ton of fun throwing around. It was practically massless. I care too much about the 6cyl wrangler I drive now to drive it like I did my 4cyl. red19fire posted:Am I crazy for wanting to trade my 08 honda fit for a 2000 wrangler? has about 20k more miles, 4 cyl RWD but worse on gas. 2.5 inch lift, 33" tires.

No no no no no no god no. quote:-33 inch mud tires bull-loving-poo poo. That specific wrangler is almost guaranteed to be a basket case. Find a stock-or-mildly-lifted Wrangler with a 4.0 liter 6 cylinder engine. Also, it's not RWD. It's got part time 4wd. The owner is a guaranteed chuckle-gently caress.

Try to get a sport, or at least check the rear end for a Dana 44 if you plan on 'froading it more than a little bit.

red19fire posted:So would it be better to remove the lift & get stock tires? It seems like a decent deal with the hard top included. Stay away from that Wrangler, look for a 97-99 or 2002+ model year with a 6 cylinder. 2000 and 2001 were bad years with head casting issues, and the pre-97 Wranglers are a bit too rough for most people. Don't be afraid of high 100k+ miles, but do look for a competent owner that has kept up on maintenance. Don't expect it to be anywhere near as maintenance-free as your Honda Fit though. It shouldn't strand you but expect little Jeep issues every now and then. Also your gas mileage will be much much lower--expect 15mpg or so in the city from the 6 cylinder (the 4 cylinder isn't any better--they're just old engines designed in the 70's and with little care for fuel economy). mod sassinator fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Jul 22, 2015 |

The 4-cyl doesn't even give any MPG advantage over the 6 because it struggles with the weight of the vehicle, especially with a lift and larger tires. It's completely pointless.

No swaybar disconnect. This thing's a stripper model with AC and a hardtop. I thought about a moisture issue, but I think we had the driest winter in recorded history and until this week it's been hot as balls since like March. I'll agree with everyone else on that TJ, skip it. The never-offroad Jeep that has a picture on the loving beach. Nobody buys mud tires for use on the road. They ride like crap, they're really noisy, they're mediocre in bad weather, and they're not cheap. I had the same engine in my YJ. It's a loving pig. I got 13 mpg out of that 2.5L/5-speed with a top speed of 60 mph. To compare, my '66 Corvette got 13 mpg out of its 327 with a 1:1 4 speed.

My dumbass 88 XJ that passed smog a year ago when I bought it (clapped-out and leaky) just failed miserably, apparently running rich as poo poo. In the intervening year I have touched almost everything and replaced nearly every sensor so this is gonna be a bitch to figure out. It runs great and is no longer polluting the ground underneath it, but go figure. The smog dude even said it didn't smell that rich. First I'm going to swap back in the old stock injectors because I put in neon 703s and that's my main culprit. Only other big change from stock I did was a bored TB and a lift/31s Graaaaah
