Great. As far as I know (or don't), that hose and the gas cap are the most notorious for that code to pop up.

Not bad! Looks like they cut a lot of cancer out. When are you getting the other side done?

That might be a bit more important to do :shock:

Right now I'm going through everything wrong with it and replacing and fixing everything before winter. Next up is the front crank seal then the rear driver axle seal. Debating on whether to do both at the same time along with the bearings since I have to take the diff cover off to get the axle shafts out.

Update on my tires:

They're Definity Dakota A/T2's from Pepboys. they're made by Cooper so they're not that bad. In all honesty they're great tires, good in snow, rain, dirt, sand, mud, pretty much anything I can throw at them.

I've got about 10k miles on them (that's being conservative I don't really know how many I've put on them probably a few thousand more than that) and there a practically no signs of wear at all

Hi Alec, good to hear your KJ is still doing well! You've certainly done a lot for her to work out the bugs. :JEEPIN:

Current plans for the Jeep are Tomorrow to fix my leaky rear axle seal at work, I'll be replacing both rear seals and bearings since I have to pop the diff cover over to get the shafts out.

After that I am going to be building a custom front bumper and eventually a rear bumper as well. I am going to use 3/16" rectangular box tube for the center section and wings and use 11 gauge to fill in the gaps, mounts will be made with 1/4" angle shoved in the frame rails and bolted on. Same with the rear, except the mounts will be bolted with the same location where the trailer hitch is. I'm extremely bad at sketching things so I'm not gonna supply one because it won't represent the finished product at all and will look terrible lol.

After the fronts done I will swapping out my headunit for a new one along with new speakers. I'm going to use a component system up front and midwoofers for the rear doors.

Any comments and/or suggestions are always welcome
