Well, here's hoping it's something simple like that. I know I tried so many things before I finally gave in and got a new fuel pump/module. To think of all the money I tossed at it. Good luck getting your issue ironed out. Blasted Jeeps. lol

Kinda makes me mad yet happy. Got out of work, started the jeep to warm it up. Started talking to a friend. Jeep idled for almost an hour without even a hickup!

Wonder if the draw was messing with the motor because it was charging at 14volts wich it never has before. It also started right up with no hesitation.

Il start over because after reading it my problems confusing lol.

i have 2 problems. My dome lights dont shut off and at idle it was running like crap.

Yesterday i pulled the fuse for the lights and now it runs and charges normal.

The previous owner pulled all the dome light bulbs but the key ring and floor lights stayed on all the time. It must have been like this for a long time because the battery terminals were destroyed from jumper cables.

Have you checked the door sensors? If any of the door ajar sensors are tripping, staying always on, then it will have those symptoms. Same for the issue with keyless entry/etc.

lovin it. almost 700 views and yet barely any input! c'mon guys! stop being stalkers and add ur input! i like constructive criticism!

in a totally sweeeeet note! was just talking to the gf about jeep-ness stuff. she knows that the more i hang out with the guy that built my bumper the more i want to just build the white wonder into sumthing stupid amazing. she's slowly coming around to letting me do custom front radius arms. i have to take it slow explaining it to her and use pictures but she's starting to get the concept of long arms. to prove my point i went to the clayton site. theres the one pic of a forklift picking up the rear tire and its like 7-8ft in the air. yea she understood then.

and then i mentioned trimming to clear 33's and leave it the height im at. she blew the **** up at me! she dosnt want me trimming because we always see xj's with ****ty trim jobs.

so for christmas she's buying me iceland flairs! i told her the sooner we order them the better becasue of how long it takes them.


so in the back of my head im starting to think.

hp30/8.8 4.10's
MM front radius arms
iceland flairs
front and rear MM bumpers
35x12.5 km2's?



but its just a though until i get a few bills payed. then parts come!

well i kinda had an accident. on my way home from my parents house i decided to take the back road. end up hitting a deer. no major damage. bumper covers broken but it already was. fog lights smashed and the bottom turn signal has a hole in it.

time for a new header pannel and matching MM front bumper

Just picked up a pinion yoke and drive shaft for $50. Also noticed that the zj I pulled it out of was an upcountry so I'm getting the coils out of it for my dad

So far I've gotten the back done. Needed a little break so I decided to put one of my swampers on sum rims my dad had.

I payed $100 for 33x12.5 swampers
