When I had a U-HaUL HITCH INSTATED ON MY 1999 SR5 everything went very smoothly. The key is holding the part that fits to the frame while bolting it in place. The '99 has the electric plug a play installed and walking on the left rear wheel well. A little tight to get to but not a big deal...

My 1999 SR5 is slow to start also. most likely problem is ignition key/ignition lock wear. I. can't I to crank gently turning the key until I?hit the sweet spot and d=then it craNKS. "KIT TAKES A FW TRIES AND NWEWER KEYS HAVE LESS FAIL TO STARTS. JUST SAYING.

Do you have anything for 1999 T4R?

Some time back I asked about oil pan leaks inn response to a shop that diagnosed my '99 T4R as an oil pan leak and repairable at $3000. After talking to two franchise repair shops, I decided to have it repaired. Franchise 1 said that they would not to the work themselves but would farm the job...

oil pan gasket Thanks again for your reply. Is it possible for the oil pan to loosen? Would the rear main seal leak show up on the clutch? At 333,000 miles I guess anything is possible. Are there any ways to narrow the problem down? Given the price of new cars I prefer keeping this one, if...

A little background: I am 85 yoa and drive a 1999 T4R, SR5. I recently noticed oil drips and puddles on the garage floor. Replaced valve cover gaskets for the first time ever. This lessened the drips but not completely. I appears that the oil pan is leaking. Is there a way to remove the...

I drive a '99 SR5 and am interested in changing out the rear bumper also. The Jeep bumper you referenced looks like an $800 DIY to me. Potential issues include rear deck clearances and alignment with the under carriage. My reaction is, There has got to one a better option.I will follow your...

ouch!!!

!999 with 330,000 miles and just beginning to use/burn oil. Original engine with no rebuilds and ditto for trans--on the 5th clutch.

FS: 3rd Gen OEM running Boards Are these still available. I am located inNorthern VA/DC Suburbs Ken Schafer 703-819-8446

BAD LUCK nailed it--so I'm looking for Gen-3 brackets and maybe a couple of 2x8s. A couple of days with no rain and warmer temps would help right now.

Very sorry about the loss of your Gen-3. Hope your recovery is swift and complete. Do not waste ll of your accumulated knowledge--if not a Gen-3 at least a T4R.

All hands--just an update--The seller gifted the boards. Great family retiring to Hilton Head, SC. And local garage that I do business with agreed to take a look--keeping my 83 year old body from crawling under a vehicle on jack stands. BTW, the T/G boards are about half of the weight of the...

KANOE--ingenious--I will keep that in mind. REPO--My eyeball estimate is that one mounting hole may work as is and additional holes can be drilled. Drop is iffy. The mounts on the boards are "U" shaped allowing some fore and aft adjustment with shims. I have the boards but they are...
