Jeep Rubicon Project -- Flitz
Flitz "Ball" system was designed to polish wheels, but its buffing attachment and polish works great on plastic and plexiglass windows of a soft top.

You may want to look at getting a 2" receiver instead. The receiver racks work good and some of them are raised. I think they have adapters to go from 2" to 1 1/4 so you could still use your bike rack and whatever else you already have.
I would take your hardtop and doors off on a nice weekend and see how you like it first hand. I use a bikini top here a lot because of the heat and it keeps the wind down also. I even drive doorless with the full top (softop) on sometimes and I really enjoy that.
I could be as simple as the gas cap not having been tight at one time, and, if that is the case, the light will eventually go off.
The fuel systems are closed loops on vehicles made after some point in time several years ago. The idea is to prevent any gas fumes from escaping to the atmosphere.
A periodic check is made by your vehicle to test for pressure leaks in the fuel system, and when one is detected, the check engine light is triggered.

Have you hugged your Jeep today?
The tops over those model years look identical to my untrained eye. But replacements for '02 model is about three times as expensive as later years (according to Mopar/dealer). Dealer told me the later, cheaper years should be the same, but would promise it.
Catalogues always list tops and parts for 97-02 models, and then 03-current, suggesting there was a change in 03. But I can't see what it is.
A. The code 51 is: "Lean O2 signal. Oxygen sensor signal indicates lean fuel/air ratio condition during engine operation".
This does not indicate a bad O2 sensor. It's saying the O2 sensor is detecting a lean condition beyond it's ability to compensate. Basically the O2 sensor did it's job in trying to compensate and reporting the failure to do so.
Since the 2.5 doesn't have banks, I assume they replaced the Front and Rear sensors. (Also known as Up- and Downstream, relative to the catalytic converter.) The downstream O2 sensor should be detecting rich fuel after the converter, since the engine is going rich to try to cure the "lean" information it's getting. So you might go back to the repair shop with this information. I have actually unplugged the upstream sensor on some vehicles to diagnose issues, and it seemed to help, as the o2 sensor quit reporting, so the mixture would thin back out.
You don't mention the mileage and is the jeep still under warranty?....I had a 2003 ranger that had the same problem as your jeep.....I took it to the dealer....they listened to it and made an appointment to drop the tranny and replace the slave cyl...no questions asked....but it only had 15000 miles on it.......
If I were in your shoes I would try another dealer BUT before doing that...stop in and see your sales person and explain that if you don't receive some service on this pronto...you and your friends and family will be taking your business elsewhere in the future....though be nice at the same time
doing some research on speakers and I noticed in some of your older post that you have some knowledge in Infinity speakers?...I have a hearing problem but can really tell the difference in factory and Infinity speakers....my question is this....I have a 2002 sport with sound bar ....what size speakers would you go with and whatever else I might need to know?...Just looking for some nice sound....nothing booming...
by the way...I have a JVC radio/cd player.
thanks....Lew
I have 5.25" MB Quart speakers in front and Kicker 6x9's in the soundbar and want to stuff both things with polyfil, but worry about having polyfil just hanging around behind the dash.

While we are on the subject of stereos does anyone have one of those Tuffy center consoles with a sub in it? I'm thinking of putting one in this summer with a small Polk sub. Where can you put the amp for it?
do you recall what size the stock speakers were...and did you run into any difficulties installing them....(may sound like dumb questions but I'm not much with sound equipment) :confuse: .
Last question;;;;Ball park figure on the cost end?
Thank you !!! really appreciate it.
Lew
I DO have a Tuffy console with an 8" Kicker in it. My amps (yes I have 2) are mounted under where the back seat would go. I have a trunk covering the back half of my TJ that holds nearly double my weight and is a PITA to get off. I secured with turnbuckles to the seat mounts.
My Kicker amp runs the front/rear speakers and the Alpine is a single channel running the sub.
If you have any other questions, just ask.
-Paul
Raingler offers options like racks, Onboard air carriers, etc to mount to the carrier as well.
CB antenna and hilift mount points are standard.

Anyway, I can provide pics if anyone is curious as to what it looks like filled.
Here's some more experiences from jeepforum
I believe that happened around the 2000 model year, but I could be off on that. For me, the adapters just screwed right into place, no modification necessary.
What I'm looking for is a good all-around tire that will do well in Buffalo, NY snow and also the old logging roads in the Alleghany National Forest during the wet springs.
I also want to have a tire thats a little bigger than my current size, maybe even rounder.
I have no clue about purchasing good tires and the last thing i want to do is waste my money. Thanks again for your help.
The Mud Terrains (BFG again) would be good on the logging roads, depending on how muddy they are when you run em.
I currently have TrXuS MT's and they have worn well so far on the road, though they do have SOME noise (nothing major). They grip like crazy offroad too.
-Paul
However, I think you may have a problem finding a tire that's rounder than your current ones! :surprise:
The lists: Lowest TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), Highest Residual Resale Value and of course the Best Offroad Vehicle list.
I wasn't surprised by Residual value, I already knew the resale value was great, but the TCO was a little surprising, but I suppose that goes hand-in-hand with the residual value...
