#192 of 196 Re: 2004 WRANGLER X - NEED TIRES [hiker2023] by mac24 Sep 25, 2009 (7:22 am)
Replying to: hiker2023 (Sep 24, 2009 10:56 am) I'm looking for tires that are good on the highway, bad weather and some mild offroad. Has anyone heard of Cooper's American Prospectors or have a suggestion for a good median priced tire?   Can't help with the Coopers, but FWIW I've just replaced my 31x10.5 BFG A/T KOs after 60,000 miles with an identical set. These are an excellent all condition highway tire, and very good offroad on all surfaces except deep mud.   I could easily have pushed them another few thousand miles before the tread became too low to be safe, but I like to keep a good margin. As with any tire though, you need to keep on top of rotation, pressures, and alignment to get the maximum mileage.   They're widely available and I paid $135 ($150 -10% coupon) each plus tax and add-ons at Sears.

A company called Quadratec at one point right after Jeep switched back over to round headlights from rectangular.. offered a headlight bezel that actually gave the round look to the older YJ rectangular headlight. Go to quadratec.com and contact them. Not sure if they have it anymore as the round lights have been around for a few years now, but if not maybe they can tell you who made them. I bet the mfg has a few pairs left. They have EVERYTHING for jeeps. tjd

The Jeep has 220,000 miles on it. All around town or being towed by class A RV. Recently I have a strong odor of HOT gear oil when driving on the parkway at 60-65mph after a 40 mile drive. The Jeep is performing excellent as normal - just a very strong odor of hot gear oil. The odor is at the end of the trip - not the beginning or during the trip. Any idea on what to service ?

Replying to: sonofadocker (Dec 01, 2009 5:36 am) Docker ... in my experience a gear smell from a jeep driven that consistently would be differential gear oil. I'd check the front and/or back differential seals first. Seals are fairly inexpensive to have replaced. Good luck!

Replying to: sonofadocker (Dec 01, 2009 5:36 am) Any idea on what to service ?   Inspect the differentials, transmission, and transfer case for signs of leaks, and check to see that the breather hoses haven't come off the top of the diff housings.   Whether you find leaks or not, check the fluid levels of all the above.
