I'll make it right soon. It's not my daily driver. I got this jeep mainly to off road it. Fishing and to haul my kayaks. I put a cheap autozone muffler on it and dumped it before the rear axle. It's pretty much obnoxious lol.

South Florida kinda sucks for the off road scene. I'm from Kentucky and had a different place to off-road for every day of the week. Hills. Trails. Rocks. Mud. Ali see here is pavement. :/

So...
Bad idea about trying to adjust pinion angle...
Made it worse! Now it's too far forward also installed new steering and now it's drifting too much to the right and I have nasty bump steer! I'm tired exhausted and can I jump the jeep into a river? Maybe
That's if it doesn't take me there...it's really unsafe to drive right now...

So. I drilled a hole. Welded a bung. Put a brand new Bosch o2 sensor. Doesn't run any different. Runs like poo. I guess I'll change the other one next weekend. It runs the same as when it was un plugged :/

I tell ya what. I'll pull yours to the river and we can do a tandem jump. Mine steers perfect now after a couple hundred dollars of front end parts. Runs like frozen poooo

Kinda had a miss to it. I mounted it exactly where it was factory. Only difference is there isn't a cat there anymore.

I changed the "down stream" sensor. I reckon I'll change the up stream next.

The upstream O2 is the one that adjusts the A/F ratio. The downstream is there to monitor the Cat function and further adjust the A/F ratio. Sorry, should have mentioned that earlier.

Haha. No big deal man. The up stream one I'm assuming is the one the previous owner said was bad when he owned it and the check engine light was on. When I bought it he had told me the o2 sensors were bad. Ima change the up stream next weekend. I'm beat man. I changed the oil in a sonata. A Sentra. A hummer. A liberty. And a grand Cherokee. Put an exhaust on the Cherokee. Changed the o2 sensor. Turned my dining room into a bedroom.
