Recently traded my ZJ in for a 2002 WJ. Going from the straight six to the 4.7l was an eye opener. My ZJ had experienced the dreaded CKP sensor failure (randomly stalling).
ZJ:
WJ:
Last Sunday I found out that one of my drivers side exhaust manifold bolts snapped. I picked up a exhaust manifold gasket and set of bolts from the dealer and was disappointed in the bolt quality. I do not think they are even graded bolts (i.e. less than grade 2). After much searching online for alternatives to the factory bolts without any success (still using the factory heat shield). So I decided to make my own brackets that would allow me to use metric grade 10.9 bolts on the exhaust manifold. Has anyone else done this? Have photos they would like to share? I will not get them installed until next week as I am still waiting for a new exhaust manifold to arrive.
Bolts:
Hopefully these will last much longer than the factory bolts.
I will have pictures after they are installed as well.
I also completed the 4 light mod to the rear taillights.
Lights on, no brakes:
Lights on with brakes applied:
