What’s Wrong with my Jeep This Time??? Common TJ Wrangler Issues

My 2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has some issues.... Lets fix them!
I hope you guys are having a great weekend. Owning a Jeep Wrangler is more than offroading, modifying, and having fun. There are times where its going to have some issues, and its important to be able to fix those problems.
In this video, we fix my clogged catalytic converters and the failed 4x4 shift linkage.
Parts used in this video:

Now that the Jeep is up and running, its time for some major upgrades.
If you watch till the end, then you probably saw the sneak peak! Super excited about that upgrade.
Ive been doing alot of upgrades to the Jeep in order to get ready for bigger tires. And its funny because ive actually had them for a few weeks now, waiting to fix the jeep before install.
With the JK dana 44 axles and 5.13 gears, these tires will be a good fit. But we will see about that in the next video!!!

Thanks a million for this. My 06 Rubicon is doing the same thing but was throwing codes for a cylinder one misfire. After replacing what feels like everything it was still not running correctly. After weeks of trying to track down the issue and watching what seems like a hundred videos, yours was the first to show you actually driving the Jeep and exactly what it was doing. Also love seeing a fellow Jeep chick who works on her own ride! Thank you much!

Always so many comments about her looks...can we all just appreciate an awesome Jeep channel that feels way more genuine than

What timing! I just got an '01 TJ from another state that doesn't require emissions testing. He cut off all the cats, which I now have to replace. I'll definitely be referring back to this video!!

Great stuff! Always a fan when women can turn wrenches and aren't afraid to get dirty! Keep it coming guys 👍

Oh to own a TJ/LJ, We are averaging some type of breakdown every 3 weeks on our ‘98. But I’m never getting rid of her! I’m just glad my wife has the mechanical knowledge to keep her running!

Am I the only one who saw the "unbroken foundation" on her shirt and looked it up ? it's definitely a pretty cool organization

[floydstowe]

It's nice to see down to earth peaple who are not afraid to get their hands dirty like some other people on YouTube like lite something you are the real deal

After Super Charging my TJ both pre Cats burned out and clogged the main. I pulled everything apart until lastly checking the exhaust. 28lbs of back pressure at idle. Definitely wiser now, but seems like it's more common especially with Turbo/Super charged 4.0L. Keep spreading the Good Word with the Videos. Wish you made the 3 years ago! Cheers!

I finally get it! People who buy Jeeps are those who like to fix broken things. So many jeep fix it vids on YouTube has to mean something.

I have an 06 LJ Rubicon and I had this same problem with the cats about 2 years ago. Glad yours is up and running smoothly again.

I have a 2014 wrangler. Had the same issue I sped a lot o money in sensor, crankshaft, abs, etc. The real problem was the oil pump and oil sensors, besides I also had to change the ECM because it keep damaging the sensors. No problems since

You guys are great together! I don’t have a Jeep, but I do rock crawl in the Power Wagon . You guys give me motivation to continue working on the sweptline all the time . Thank you from Dave (Spokane, Wa)

2000 TJ 4.0 of mine same problem . Installed new stainless steel system. Runs like a champ. No more check engine light. Blown cats like yours. 230, 000 miles on it.

[joshuatyson]

you two are Awesome! keep it going and love the positive attitudes you guys brings to your channels

[appathejku]

Looks like those old cats used all nine of their lives. 'Meow', it's good that you replaced the exhaust.

[erickeasling]

You might want to check with a local shop but i'm almost certain you cant leave the exhaust dumping in front of the rear axle, it needs to be past the rear axle this is to keep exhaust fumes from coming back up inside the vehicle and casing you to pass out while driving. I could be wrong but worth a call happy jeeping:)

[philipklinkenborg]

Great video! No apologies necessary for the theme; I have an '06 LJ and love to learn ALL of the mods/repairs/upgrades that you all are doing. Keep up the good work!

The auto TJs especially the 04-06 are pretty notorious for issues. Those who have the 42RLE know the struggle is real.
