The Trail Rated badge has got to be the stupidest gimmick I've ever heard.
Is the Jeep the only vehicle to survive a Nevada Auto Testing Center
off-road trail?  Now, if the NATS distributed this as an annual reward to
the vehicles most worthy, like Motor Trend--or something like ...

All Solenoids are functioning properly and distributing power according to
the schematic.  http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/8274/  Now my only
conclusion is that there is a problem with the motor.  Here is my
question....Is it cheaper for a rebuild or to buy a rebuilt one?  ...

I just saw the video Drive for the first time..and in the last part of the
song he mentions his daughters learning to drive for the first time in his
old Jeep...and what do they show...a damn old Ford Bronco....and of course a
close up shot with the Bronco emblem in the picture big ...

  Since when does the dealer go by miles in determining scheduled
maintenance, and not months? My '02 TJ has very low miles-12,800m from
date of purchase(8/02). For that reason, a lot of the time I go by month
rather than mileage in determining oil/filter changes. If I went by

....with that keyfob thing. It would have been a wasted $250.00.
The receiver in the car went dead so I am having the whole thing
ripped out. Good riddance.
If that would have been one of the modern immobilizer things I'd have

Hey all,
   Guess what I did yesterday...Oh yes, that's right.  For
all you young Jeepers, a lesson to you.  All you old heads,
be impressed.  Yet another fine example of the craftsmanship

We are moving, Tried to get a u-Hall,  and the SOB's don't rent trailers to
folks driving Explorers any more.  Did you folks know that?
Why is it?
Guess i Need to find a Ryder truck, I am sure as hell not going back to U-hall.

I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited,  76,000 miles.  I had a weird
problem today.    The engine would start very quickly with no hesitation,
run for about 3-5  seconds, and then abruptly shut off. After about 2-3
starts/stops like this, I gave it some gas immediately after ...

I just recently bought the above mentioned vehicle from a friend with
the wiring problem made clear at time of purchase. The jeep runs fine
99% of the time but every once in a while I need to jiggle one of the
wires that connects to one of the injectors. The injector wire in

They're both dark, the time LED though works perfectly. I checked the ground
strap and it looked OK. It wasn't frayed or broken anywhere. Any ideas anyone?
Blown fuse maybe?

 I was just offered a killer deal on a pair of 74 CJ axles for the
'FrankenWillys' including a front with disk brakes on it. $100 for the
complete pair (being driven around daily as I write, they're in great
shape) is actually cheaper than what I'd intended with just adding a

Before the NYC Auto show D/C held a press conference and announced it would be
available in Nov. 05; on their web site it says early 05.  Does anyone know for
certain when the dealer can deliver it to a retail buyer?

I think tomorrow I'm going to install the oil pump rebuild kit for my
304.  I picked up my Chiltons manual a few minutes ago to see what I
was going to be in for and it looks SUPER easy like I just have to
remove the piece that the oil pump screws onto and the gears of the
