It's been at least 5 years. I got more than a few 'no front tag' tickets, but I know there was a bill introduced recently to remove the front tag from being a requirement but not sure if that went through or not. I've got a front tag currently so I haven't paid much attention to it.

Fuel pressure is out of spec, at idle it ranged from 55 all the way down to 35 at some points. Thinking this is a fuel delivery issue that is causing the misfire.

yeah, I would say so. Start simple and so one thing at a time. Pull the fuel rail and injectors and do a really good clean job on them. Test your pressure again. if it's still bad, check your pump/filter. Test again.

I've already pulled injectors and cleaned them up, that's how I know it wasn't an Injector bad.
At this point if I even suspect the pump I'm gona replace it. Found a bosch replacement module for 120 on ebay.
Hope everybody had a safe snow storm, I spent about 5 hours last night on the roads

Went to Pick-n-Pull with a friend today. Got ZJ seats, front skid plate, new driver mirror and some interior parts. Friend got stuff for his MJ, a hood, header panel, 2 grills and roof rack. I tried to get the gas tank skid plate off but the nut strips were broke and I was pissed. Spent 3 hours trying to get an np231 out, we dropped the transmission and transfer case but we couldn't disconnect them from each other.

I need to do the same, I don't know where to go though.

I loved the look of my rolled fenders but I got sick of things hitting me when the window was down, so I got some bushwacker flares and they are awesome.
