Mud + water usually means your Throttle position Sensor got uh... messed up. :) $53.00 or so at autozone and 10 minutes later you'll be on the road. Autozone or any good auto part store should be able to read the code and have it tell you what the issue is. I messed mine up wheeling in mud. Died while driving 55mph on the highway back to the hotel --- WHILE CROSSING A BRIDGE! ... Read More...

I own a 2005 2-door Unlimited. There are a lot of Jeeps in the Chicago area, but I see VERY few 2-door Unlimiteds. I like the fact that I own a model of Jeep that very few others seem to have went with. I am kind of surprised, actually, that so few bought it. I think it's the perfect combination of getting some extra cargo/seating space in back without having to drive a ... Read More...
