I'll just take my lumps and buy the cat. I've already got s buddy with some leftover o2 sensors he said I can pick through anyway so I'm already a little ahead anyway. No sense tempting fate.

Don't be a douchebag, you're only giving all of us that own Jeeps a bad name.

On that year no affect. the rear O2 is only used to check the cat.

Off Road use only. Do what you want!

Don't ask, don't tell.

DUDE! we are talking about an off road use only mod. So therefore it's not illegal.

A sensor simulator basicly sends a false signal to the ECM to fool it.
I found O2 simulators on line a couple years ago for $40-$50. They are not leagal for street use.
