My TJUR was a 6 speed and in normal driving I only used 1-4 and sometimes 5, but never 6. I just never found myself in a position where 6 was needed or wanted. In my JK, which is an auto, first I have ever had in a Jeep, it moves fast enough down the highway that I am pretty certain I would use...

Based on this Mopar kit at Quadratec, I think it may be doable to make the upgrade in your garage. Seems to be fairly plug and play. I had to remove and replace the aftermarket rear camera on my JK when I bought it. Because panels and carpet are easy removed/replaced, getting everything apart...

First, welcome to the JK, Jeep'n, and this Forum. Personally, I am on my 4th Jeep (CJ, YJ, TJUR, JK). Like SteveF said, it is an addiction. I finally convinced my sister to get a JK and now she is far outpacing me on mods and time in the woods. She simple cannot get enough! The 3.8L was the go...

Here are the keys side by side (new on left), just in case anyone was curious.

Hey guys, One topic that comes up a lot on these forums is keys/keyfobs. For reasons that have to be a cousin to losing socks in the dryer, those of us who buy used Jeeps often only end up with one set of keys for our rigs. I was at Sam's Club today and there was a mobile key company (Car Keys...

As promised, finally, here are some shots of my Rhino Rack. All three rows are drilled through the top and reinforced inside. Looks like the top needs to come off for the work to be completed, I would assume this applies to any roof rack system.

If I am not mistaken, this is the the system that I have (link below). It is drilled and reinforced inside the top. My wife took off in the Jeep this morning, so when she gets home I can snap some photos. I would assume you could install it yourself and that it comes with a template for getting...

My Jeep has the Rhino Backbone system and it is pretty stout. My wife is driving it today, so I will try to those some photos up later. You have to drill through the top to mount it, but the inner frame spreads the load well. I realize you have your own set of crossbars you want to use. Have you...

My Recon came with the factory rock rails, which have been great. The problem is they collect more rocks than they seem to protect from. I am about to take them loose so I can clean out the accumulated rocks and wondered if anyone has ever found a solution for keeping the rocks out. I was going...

I just recently made the switch from a TJUR to a JK Rubicon Recon. I caught a lot of flack for selling the TJUR (except from the guy who purchased it), but I am really glad that I did. My JK is a 2nd vehicle (as was the TJ) and I have found myself driving it more often than I ever did the TJ...

The only one that comes to mind is Insane Audio. Their units are 'vehicle specific' in design, so the JK unit will swap out seamlessly for the stock unit. https://insaneaudio.com/products/jk2001/

We don't require front plate in Arkansas, either. However, I have seen plenty of Jeeps that have them. Most Jeep sites have the front plate mounting brackets, but I think you have to screw them into the bumper. I like this one that uses existing mounting points...

My Jeep has KO2's (came with them) and they are really great tires. That being said, I have Yokohama Geolander A/T's on my F-150 and they have been historically the best all around tire I have owned. I have run them on several different vehicles and I have never been disappointed in their...

CarGurus says it is a fair deal, meaning that it is just below market. So, they are going by the $32K number from KBB. Make them an offer and see what they will do. When I bought my JK a few months back, the dealer came off the price $2,500.
