Diagnostic Trouble Codes
When a late-model, computerized Jeep is having engine problems, one of the ways it communicates these problems back to the driver is to turn on the "check engine" light on the dash. One idiot light isn't very descriptive, so Jeep also privided a method to query the computer for all codes that have been set. Some of these codes are important enough to turn on the check engine light, while others are minor enough not to require immediate attention and therefore will not turn on the dashboard light by themselves.
To query and OBD-I-era computer for these codes, put the key in the ignition and turn the key to run (not start), then off, then run, then off, then run (that's 3 runs and 2 offs). Leave the key in the run position. The check engine light will turn on for a few seconds, then turn off, then (sometimes after 20-30 seconds) start flashing. The flashes are counting out 2-digit trouble codes. Fast flashes count up each digit, with a longer pause between digits.

The definitive History of the Jeep Wrangler YJ
This is a compressed, generalised history of the YJ. Why it was developed, how it was launched and why it should be aknowledged as the best leaf sprung origional Jeep ever to roll off the production line! The Wrangler marked the end of an era for Jeep.

WJ Brake and Knuckle Conversion for YJ’s
For a YJ in stock form, and even with mild lift, stock steering and brakes are adequate on the street and on the trail. Leaf sprung Jeeps obviously aren’t meant to be sports cars, and as such they don’t handle and brake like them (nor do most SWB rigs.) It just so happens that the Jeep WJ’s (1999+ Grand Cherokees) have a knuckle with an attachment point for the tie-rod in the stock location, and an attachment point for the drag-link up higher. WJ’s also have HUGE dual piston calipers and larger brake rotors to match.
