Mine have faded some, and my former Wrangler had the same issue. But, functionally, it doesn't change the way they work. And, really, where I like to drive it, I don't see anyone having opinions about the way the ride looks. The trouble is that most restoring treatments (all the ones I'm...

One other thing to look at, considering that you have a sense of fishtailing, is the rear track bar adjustment, if it's adjustable. Mine isn't. If the rear axle is off center, the vehicle might want to travel down the road a little sideways. You might find your self trying to correct that.

Your original post indicates a serious concern about controlling the jeep at higher speeds. Among other observables, you mention around two inches of play in the steering wheel. That two inches of play also translates to two inches of no sense of what the front wheels are doing...

If the drive from Sacramento to the Bay Area was as shaky as you described, then "the shop" is utterly wrong. Jeeps do not just "drive" as you describe. You need to have someone who knows what they are doing look at the geometry of the linkages, including not only the attachment points, but...

No vehicle should behave as you describe. One thing that jumps out is the play you mention in the steering. My own wheel has less than an inch of play.

This sounds like a used-car issue. It might be why the vehicle was traded in. Look up "death wobble." There will be extensive discussion. You might want to watch this: They offer some causes they isolated that can contribute to it. Under California law, you might also be protected by lemon...

Wranglers all have solid front axles. Apparently the camber is not adjustable in stock vehicles. There are front ball joint replacements that add some camber adjustability. These can vary wildly in cost. You might want verify that the front axle isn't bent a bit. The just one tire out...

You say that you found out the cause of the code was a bad fuel injector. How was that discovered? The initial code says cylinder 1 was misfiring, while the second, P0300, indicates the problem has spread, and now is happening randomly among the cylinders. Do you know how many miles are on...

Lot's of luck with that.

The Lightening Bolt indicates a problem with the electronic throttle control. Are you getting a check engine light? Your gas pedal and the throttle connection are managed electronically, instead of through a cable connection like older vehicles. Theoretically, it saves fuel for the lead...

One thing you might do is to pull the plug that is allegedly misfiring, and another, which isn't, and compare them. The fact that a specific cylinder is being reported suggests that the problem is at the cylinder. The injector, coil, or spark plug, or possibly the wire. I've always kept the...

Your caps-lock key is stuck.

DId you check for vaccuum leaks? Also the wires for the O2 sensors, check that they are carrying proper current. There is unfortunately a broad range of things that can cause something like this, but you have hit the parts cannon pretty good already. Did you have any belts replaced or do any...

Five-tire rotation is the way I would recommend, though if the spare tire is a different make, that might be a little bit irritating. I have four Firestone Destination M/T2a's on the road, but the spare is BFG Mud Terrain T/A KM2. My suspicion is that all five matched, but the dealer swapped...

Mine has no decals. It is a '16 Rubicon Hard Rock, but the previous owner did some customization that included removing the "Rubicon" decal. It seems to run just as well as my former Rubicon, which did have the decals

That probably depends on which generation of TIPM you're dealing with, and if it uses any mechanical internal relays. One thing you can say about the TIPM is that it can simplify diagnosis. Parasitic drains - at the least the two I ever dealt with - were fiendish hard to isolate.

My first 4X4 was a 1990 Isuzu Trooper which could climb trees if necessary. I bought it new, and carried out regular PM, and even took it in to the dealer while under warranty. It did not leak fluids, over heat, or show any signs of other problems. Then one day, I and my partner were out...

No. Jeep does things pretty much correctly on the Wrangler. No worries about having to notify the system the battery is a replacement or any of the other nonsense that some of the "smarter" vehicles require these days. Just, as the others say, pay attention to the order of disconnecting and...

"Extra five minutes," there you go, just like I said. Us old guys don't even know whether we can buy green bananas or not.

There are lot of mods for the rear license plat holder. The tricky part is that many either disregard a light over the plate which, at least some, states require - California does. Many also assume you'll dismount your spare. You can find them everywhere from eBay, Rugged Ridge, and Extreme...
