How do I find out if the nutter bypass is legal to do in my state (NC)?

I just bought a 2004 Grand Cherokke with the 4.0 engine. I have only about
1500 miles on it. I am only getting between 11-12 mpg. Mostly around town
driving with some highway. This seems low. My v8 Durango did better then
this. Anybody else with the 6 cylinder getting better ...

I put a new serpentine belt on my 97 Cherokee and it is adjusted properly,
but when I turn on the air conditioner when the engine is cold, the belt
squeals for a while then goes away.  Is it possible my A/C compressor is
going bad?  It cools just fine.  I tried some wax on it and ...

After reading a couple of articles on resolving driveshaft vibration it
seems I can get away with using shims rather than getting a CV Shaft if I

After adding my lift kit my shaft has an angle coming down from the transfer

I hope 31's are big enough!
I hadn't been considering MTR's because of the price, figured I would go
with BFG AT/KO. Went to Just Jeeps in Toronto today and they had a "show

when it comes out (the Diesel powered Liberty that Jeep's apparently

The vibe I get is that this vehicle will not be sold in California.

Hey Everyone,
 My Scrambler needs some help on the pitman arm.  It's got 2" shackle
lift/reversal kit, 2" springs of some variety and 33's.  The linkage on the
Jeep when i bought it (stock shackles) was bent with a torch and made to fit.

Evening,
What is the depth of the pinion seal supposed to be on a rear Dana 35?
Flush with the housing or until it bottoms out?

Installed an aftermarket hitch and wiring harness on a 2004 Grand Cherokee,
manufacturer recommends swapping the flasher relay out for a heavy-duty
flasher relay. I'm looking around the fuse box (under the dash) for the old
silver can lookin' flasher relay but don't see anything ...

Anyone in the Southwest purchase one of the Canadian military trailers that
recently became available?

Well, my catalytic converter died (per my post last week) and luckily the
dealer replaced it for free without giving me a hard time.  It took them a
week.... but hey, what's a little patience, right?  Anyhow, in the process
they "discovered" that the heat shield on my muffler had ...

I am buying a skyjacker heavy-duty tie rod, but would like to know
after you install it do you need a wheel alignment? Is there away to
mark it so you do not need to get one done or is there a trick to it?

Buddy of mine contacted me today, asking if I knew what was going on
with his Jeep. I'm at a loss, hoping someone here might have a
suggestion. Here's his description:
"i was driving home from work yesterday, when all of a sudden WHUMP -

I have a 1996 Jeep Cherokee that makes a loud screeching noise whenever
the clutch is depressed.  I thought this was the only time it made this
noise, but we had the hood opened the other day and it was making the
