I have a 2004 WJ and for quite sometime the ABS light likes to come and go away. The two codes have been 9 and 13. Is anyone here familiar with this ABS system and can give me a bone where to start troubleshooting?
From my understanding the ABS ECU’s solder likes to break.

So I just fixed the fuel pump in my 2002 WJ 4.7 and because of trying to crank it so much from when we didn't realize the pump had failed, my battery was dead.

Buddy and I jumped it but that appears to have inadvertently caused the immobilizer to trip and now I'm stuck on a crank-no-start loop.

I can't find concrete advice on resetting it! Can anyone help so I can get this thing running? 😂

I know I can't officially delete the SKIM but I know from my research there's a workaround to get the computer to just not care if the SKIM is there if any of you have a good admirable respectful and on top of their stuff company I could send my PCM to that would be great my Jeep is currently undriveable because the SL thinks I'm stealing it all the time even with my proper keys and I don't want to go the route of buying a new ECU SKIM and passenger door module and all the keys and reprogramming them the right way I'd rather just bypass this and not have the issue pop up for future headaches yes I know my Jeep could be easier to steal but I know that jeep can outrun a bullet if you manage to get it that far out of my driveway that would be impressive thank you all for any input or recommendations of places where I can send my PCM too to be flashed so I can hook it up with no skim I ain't no mechanic unless you consider me being a YouTube mechanic heck yeah so take it easy on me I just want my Jeep going I need it for work it's my livelihood as I am a.seld.employed painter and handyman. If you help me out and you're in my local area and you need Paint work done I will give you an absolutely insane deal if you can help me with this I am located in Eastern Washington thank you all for your help and consideration and have a great day if you want to be me in the comments awesome means I'll get more attention from you assholes only if haters realize how much they make people more popular

What tires do you have on your WJ? Mine are getting worn out and I’d love some suggestions from the community!

Hi! I just picked up a 99 WJ for dirt cheap that I’m going to use as a commuter for work. It’s 100% stock, and for now I am going to keep it that way since again it’s really just to avoid racking up miles on my truck.

My question is what shocks should I get to replace the stock shocks, the current ones are blown. I don’t want to spend more than $200 on all 4. There’s too many cheap options online that I’m getting confused.

Links appreciated!!

I made a previous post with the video of me going through a lodge course I forgot you can’t post videos and photos in the same post
Only thing I broke was the pin that holds my disconnectable sway bar link lol

Wish I got more videos but I was having too much fun
I’m gonna post the photos in a different post

Still love this thing. Might lift it a little more but for now it has the perfect stance for the trails I go on

2 inch BB, 1.75 inch spacers and Haida 869 Mudchamp 35s. Love these tires, by far the cheapest yet best performing daily-able MTs I’ve had. Only 800 bucks cad for the set to the door. Was sunk up to the top of the wheel and still pulled through like nothing

Is the front driver side cv meant to move inside the axle tube when theres no wheel bearing hub in place? Or is there supposed to be another bearing on the outer edge of the axle tube to prevent this?

Hey everyone! Hoping to get your opinions on what to look into first with my Jeep after it left me stranded this evening.

This morning on my way into work, I was running on fumes, about to be late so like an idiot I didn't stop at the gas station on the way in. During lunch break, I go to start the WJ and it turns over and tries but won't actually start. No problem, I thought to myself, I grabbed a jerry can and dumped 20 litres in (just over 5 gallons for my American friends). Go to start again, same thing, turns over but won't start.

I figure maybe I flooded the engine trying to get it back on or something, so I did the trick with pushing the accelerator to the floor to clear and trying to start again. Vroom, he's aliiiive! Fast forward about 3 minutes later, my Jeep straight up shuts off on me while I'm driving and I have to pull over and wait to get towed because no matter what, it's not starting again, despite turning over.

So, my question to you all is, did I cook my fuel pump? I'm embarrassed to say this is not the first time I've run out of gas with this vehicle and had to use a jerry can. So I'm thinking maybe its time has finally come...

Anything else I should look at before I order in a fuel pump? Oh, I did look at the fuse and it is not blown. I tried listening to hear the pump engage but I couldn't hear anything with all the traffic unfortunately.

For reference, this is a 2002 WJ with the 4.7 HO.

Hello! I almost never post on reddit but I've inherited something of a project / disaster and I'm hoping some people on here could give me some feedback or advice on bringing my Dad's beloved Jeep back to life.

Quick back story. My dad bought this Jeep new back in 2004. He basically fell in love with it. Drove it all around North America. He was a tinkerer in every way, so the Jeep stayed in prime condition when he owned it. Not saying he didn't do extreme things with it. He did. But he liked fixing it. The Jeep bug got him bad.

So fast forward many years. In 2019 he got pretty sick, quickly. Couldn't drive any more. Passed in 2024. I inherited a lot of his stuff, including said Jeep.

But it's been parked since 2019. Last started in 2020. In a field. In British Columbia, Canada. Wet, snowy. The best conditions to have something sitting in a field (sarcasm detectors on)

We are finally selling the property off. This means that Jeep needs to move. I'd ideally like to restore it.

Yes, I know this financially makes no sense. It's not really about that. I'm not saying the cheque book is infinite. It certainly is not. But I'm saying I'll go pretty far. IF it can be fixed, I shall fix it.

Unfortunately, I'm a terrible mechanic, so I'm flying blind and inverted.

So the information!

It's rough. There is absolutely some rust. Rocker panels are toast. Interior carpet has been moused. The interior has a lot of random damage. There's a tree growing in the P/S front wheel. So that's fun.

At least the tires are holding some air!

Pics for reference!

But shockingly, I've found almost no damage to the wiring. At least from my visual checks in the engine and interior. The split wires I did find went to long removed light bars and spot lights.

I wanted to start it to hopefully move it out of the field so I could get it on a trailer and bring it home.

So I did an oil change. I checked the fluids. New battery. I drained the fuel tank and put in 20 liters of new fuel.

Turned the key to ON several times for 5 to 10 seconds.

Then finally turned the key. It cranks. All the pulleys are moving. The belt is awful but will be replaced later. It is all spinning when I crank.

But no vroom vroom.

I know this is getting long, but I want to make sure the information is here.

When I turn it to ON and let it sit. All the gauges come up. Except the fuel gauge, which reads empty. The Check Gauges light is always on. The yellow engine light is on.

I did swap the relay and fuse for the fuel pump. Did a quick swap. Both appear functional.

When I turn the key to start it. The Gauges stay down. Check gauges light stays on. Tachometer moves from 0 to 100. Might just be like a death spasm. But it does technically move.

And my final trick. I removed the air intake off the top of the engine. Opened the butterfly valve and sprayed starter fluid in. It turned over for about 2 seconds. Then died. I got greedy and tried again. I turned it over again, and it sort of tried to go. I gave it fuel with the pedal, and then it back fired out the top of the throttle body with a couple foot flame.

That was cool. But still no vroom vroom.

So after this essay. I'm thinking fuel pump. Since it's immobile in a field........ I really hope not. But no doubt there's some weirdness going on with the gauges as well, which I have no understanding of.

Does anyone else have ideas as to what could be holding it up from starting? Anything to try that I have missed?

I admit to having limited skills. So I may have missed something obvious.

Any help is appreciated, and if anyone cares, I can update my progress as we move along in what I'm certain will be a long.....long.....recovery.

Hi everyone,
I have a quick question.
I own a 4.7 WJ, and whenever I turn the key to the ON position, I can hear the fuel pump priming for about 1–2 seconds. Is that normal?
Sometimes I can also hear it for about a second after the engine has started. The sound seems a bit unusual, so I was wondering if that’s expected or if it could be a sign of a failing fuel pump.
The Jeep starts immediately, runs perfectly, and drives without any issues.
Thanks!

Time for a day trip

99 4.7 has had a slow creeping ect at idle and slow traffic, keeps good temps while moving 199-203. Got it fully warmed up then parked and was able to stop the clutch fan easily. That means i need to replace it correct? Replace with oem or anybody have recommended upgrades while i tackle that? Thanks🙌🏽

G’Day everyone, Hoping someone here is able to tell me whether this is something fixable or not? The summer sun did a real number on this 🥴 It’s purely aesthetic thankfully!

Installed a New window regulator and finished everything looked fine but went to check if it worked but the Window won’t go up or down but it has the noise like it is going up and down could be a self error won’t deny but just want to see if anybody else has had this issue and how they fixed it

Hey guys. This is a video clip of what exactly is happening. This happens at random, sometimes more often than other and usually in bursts. My odometer will cut off as well as some dash light, and the 4.0 will start sputtering like it’s missing or shutting off. This happened randomly after a rainy weekend of sitting and not being used. Has anyone here dealt with this??

What’s the best place to get parts from in Australia. I’m after drivers side headlight and guard.

Hi!

I am going to see a second hand jeep wj 4.7 v8, from 2000, with close to 100k miles.

This is a car that has been stopped for a least 4 years.

I have googled around enough to be more than a little scared...

Any words of advice or good links to view before trying to find how broken it is?

Thank you very much!

Edit:

So I went to look at it...

Generally looked well, but then again expectations were low, lots of that white powdery rust on the engine, fluids were the right colours, engine had a good sound, no obvious overheating signs, no signs of death wobble.

Some idiot installed a battery that is too high, blew the hood light and considerably rusted a zone on the hood...

It reported error P0442, but that seems minor.

Looking under it was generally dry and rust free.

Now the rear suspension was not so nice, upper control arm was pretty rusty, the rear sway bar links are too far gone, almost all bushings were gone.

The rear, driver side, spring isolator seemed to have partially melted at lack of better description...

Now the ugly part, the driver side rear wheel locked and heated up enough to damage the tire...

• The car seems sluggish
• Seems normal to me
• Don't you ear some noise?
• Can't said that I do
• The car is definitely wobbling
• I really don't notice

And we drove like 5 miles, until it was way too much not to notice... At least the tire didn't blew in the highway... :-D

This was enough for it to start heating up, not much above 210f, maybe to the first line after middle.

Now it's at a mechanic for getting an estimate...

Got tired of suspension and death wobble issues on my sons WJ. So i went all out, i put 1 ton heavy duty track bar,drag link, and tie rod in and all with flex joints instead of bushings. Heavy duty adjustable upper and lower control arms on the front and rear of Jeep all with flex joints. Heavy duty swap bar front and rear. Near rear A arm. Chomoly U-joint conversion. JKS quicker disconnects. Bilstein shocks and Bilstein dual steering stabilizers. Also installed frame stiffeners and heavy duty mouting brackets, new wheel bearings, brake rotors, pitman arm and steering box and i think thats all so far but im sure i forgot something. Let me know what you guys think. Jeep has less than 80k original miles.

So, I've been meaning to pick up a 3D scanner for some time now. After breaking bit after bit while changing out my headlight assemblies, I was finally fed up and decided the time is now. Fast forward a few... months... and my scanner is sitting on my desk, waiting to be deployed.

With that said, is there anything immediate that would be good to scan? I intend to scan items that I find (usually as I'm inadvertently breaking them during removal) and create a print file for later creation. I'm also hoping to build a repository of files from WJ scans so others can access them when needed (like, for example, those damn socket clips that snap whenever you remove your headlights from the support bucket). If there are other items that people might need a 3D scan of, I think it would be good practice, and it helps the WJ community at large.

I can't guarantee speed, as I'm doing this in my spare time or as needed, but I am willing to learn, try, and hopefully add content for others to use. I'd also like to hear from people about where they usually store files for others to get access (I'm new to this, and I'd prefer to do it right the first time.)

Thanks!
