  1. TJ Technical Discussion
    Hey everyone! I just got my TJ today, and I was driving it down snowy roads when I went to put it in 4hi for better control. The shifter was moving extremely loosely, and there were no clicks when u moved it. I then promptly spun out and landed in a ditch. I crawled under it, and I wish I had...
  2. YJ Technical Discussion
    Hi all, 1989 YJ, 2.5L 4 cyl, manual trans. After tracing troubleshooting my 4WD dash light, I found a few broken vacuum lines. Looks like I'm running 3WD instead of 4WD. I'd like to replace the vacuum harness, as it's never been replaced over the life of the Jeep. I can't seem to find any new...
  3. YJ Technical Discussion
    Hi all, new to the forum! My dad bought this '89 YJ (4 cyl, manual transmission, pretty sure its the base model) new a few years before I was born. I grew up in this thing. I inherited it last year and it had a host of issues, chief among them the thing wouldn't start! I had a mechanic friend...

    About 3 months ago my jeep wrangler 2018 unlimited sports jk was in a small collision. we decided to fix it ourselves and bought everything new from suspension to even a new differential, upgrading it to a DANA 44. It all works beautifully but when taking it out, we tried to engage 4wd but the...

    2015 Jeep Wrangler JKU. Shifted into 4hi the other day and the 4WD dash light didn't come on. 4 wheel drive is definitely working. Tested today in a muddy field and the light came on after switch from 4lo to 4hi, but then turned off again. Light acts like it has loose connection. I...

    Hi all, My JLUR is my first off-road 4x4 and I am new to 4WD. I have been wheeling a couple of times already, and my way of shifting from 2H to 4H is taking my foot off of the brake and pulling the shifter down to 4H. I thought on the manual, you can shift it while parked or rolling, so I think...

    I have a manual 2012 Sport Unlimited and got stuck in the mud today. It has a 3.5 lift and 35’s. The person who helped me get out burned my clutch to the point where there was an intense amount of smoke coming from the bottom. After he couldn’t get me out through that he just pulled me out. Now...

    I know it’s pretty unpopular to stick with the CAD system that comes with the YJs but I really want to keep mine ask stock as I can. I recently replaced the 4WD actuator in my ‘95 and got the 4WD working again but have noticed it takes a while to engage and the light to turn on. It takes...

    4WD dummy light on the dash hasn't worked since I bought the Jeep. 4WD works great, but I'm a dummy, so I would like to have the light. I've done a fair bit of reading on the stock 4WD set up and believe I have followed my wiring to the end of the line (literally). If I follow the wires plugged...

    Hey peeps hope you can help. 2012 JKU, manual transmission, lifted 2.5, When I shift into 4wd I get this consistent knocking sound seemingly coming from the front somewhere. But it only happens when in gear. When I push the clutch in the sound goes away. The 4wd still works and pulls hard it...

    My new 2018 Sport Unlimited JL manual transmission , which is 3 months old, has never been able to shift to 4H from 2h. Basically there is a lot of resistance to the shift to the point I was afraid to break it. It has been at the dealer for more than a week. The dealer confirms it is not working...

    So I was having fun in the snow the other day and ended up putting Jeep in a ditch. It wasn't to bad but I still had to get pulled out as it got stuck. I had to put her in 4WL to get it out and now my traction control light will not go off and I can't use my cruise control. It is a 2016 Jeep...

    I accidentally tried to shift into 4wd low while in reverse instead of neutral. I though I was in neutral, but it was really in reverse. I tried to shift it multiple times before I realized it was in reverse. Do you think I did any major damage?
  16. General Jeep Discussion
    Hello all, My Jeep is my first 4WD vehicle. As such, I'm not entirely sure how to make the best use of the 4WD with winter coming. Here's what I'm hoping to get some help with: When is it appropriate to use each "gear" of the 4WD? 2H, 4H, N, 4L. Some tell me to run the 4WD occasionally...

    Has anyone ran into the issue of the transfer case cable kinking near the shift lever? I bought a used 2013 JK and noticed that it would not shift out of 2wd. I removed the center console to reveal that the cable was kinked. When the lever is moved back and forth, the cable just folds like an...

    First off, I'd like to say I'm hugely relieved that this forum exists, because I've got a lot to learn. Thanks in advance for all of your patience with the stream of questions that will surely be coming your way. History: '78 Ford Mustang was my first car. Then a 1970 Nova. For almost one...
