Rotten egg smell
I have a slight rotten egg smell. Not full blown. I don't have any engine lights or anything. I have a cat back exhaust. I don't think it's my cats since I have only 59k. Is it possibly a bad O2 sensor?

If inside the Jeep, could be the battery being over charged.
If at the back, it's probably the cat.

I can smell it outside the jeep but yes also in the jeep. If I put the heat to recirculate then I don't smell it. I only smell it in the winter and it's not all the time

Im leaning towards this answer as well. have you checked under the seats for an egg or two that accidentally fell out of the carton?

Not to be critical but why at 59k could a cat be a problem. I've driven multiple high milers - like into the hundreds of thousand miles. Even owned a small fleet at one time. I live in a high winter road salt area as well. Never ever had to change a cat and only rarely any other exhaust part.
Any fuel or oil additives in this equation? Just wondering.
