I wanted to wait until I was sure and have been going thru Mar and now Apr of our rainy season here and my Jeep has remained dry as a bone. I saw a YouTuber use this and I can't remember who it was unfortunately. You have to put it in your door seal a certain way. I couldn't remember which way...

I talked to the people at Torq when I was ordering my lockers (I have a 2017 Sahara Unlimited as well) and kept noticing on all their lockers they had front for me all years but no rear for the last number of years unless it was a manual. I called them directly and was told I couldn't put a...

A level at least 2' long is really helpful measuring the tires.

I've got stock 17" wheels off a 2020 Gladiator Rubicon on my 2017 JKU Sahara with no issues, they are 285/70/17. The only issue is on a trail that causes one tire to push up high I will get a tiny rub at FULL lock on the high tire. I would say 70% of the time I never went full lock enough to...

I will say the miles until empty, and mpg calculations on my JKU are the most accurate of any vehicle I've ever had, before and after JScan. Never more than .1 off.

LOL! That may have been my problem. Since I brought up JSCAN do you guys leave the doohickey plugged into the OBDII full time or remove it when the engine is off. Not sure what type of battery draw it has but when the engine is off it still has a green, red and blue light and I know that takes...

I think I have a weird duck anyway. I bought a bluetooth OBDII and JSCAN and when I measured my tires to make that change (went from stock 18" rims to 17" rims w/ 33s) plus lowered my TPMS from 32 to 28 PSI - I lost my speedo and it started popping CELs all beginning with "U" letting me know I...

Well I guess I learned something today. I wanted a manual but only because I like shifting gears. I'd never owned an auto until I was 35. After I gave my son my '04 Rubicon I bought a Gladiator and only had it a hot minute before trading it for a JK but no manuals to be found. The Gladiator was...

I just got off the phone with TORQ because after putting my vehicle info into their website all their rear lockers were only for 2007-2011 - UNLESS it was a manual transmission. If it was a manual the locker was good for all years in the rear. He said I could run an Aussie locker in the front no...

I happened to change my oil in my JK yesterday. Like a few above I use Mobil 1 Synthetic 5W-30 and change it about every 6k miles. I check it pretty regularly and it never loses oil but starts getting pretty dark around 5k. I changed my wife's as well but took hers to an oil change place. I've...

That was originally what I was going to do but being in tax season until 5/15 I didn't have time to take out seats, center console, tape everything off, etc that's why I was going to let someone else do it but no one wanted to. LOL! I might revisit it in June when things calm down. My time is...

I was really ready to do that until I started looking into it and seeing how much work it was. LOL! I contacted LineX and he said it was too much trouble for him and they did too many truck beds. I called a second one and they told me the same thing but to call this other location and that guy...

I did some new weather seals, etc after getting the Jeep back Monday. It rained everyday for 2 weeks and we haven't had a drop since I did the new seals so it may work, may not. My question is I bought some new floor mats with great coverage. I'm iffy on the brand Rough Country but I really do...

Yes this was at a CDJR dealership, the one I bought the Jeep at. I called this morning and the way it was explained to me was they already ordered my radio which is a refurb from a 2012 Jeep Liberty and it apparently happened as Chrysler was programming the new radio to switch everything on my...

I got my Jeep back just before they closed tonight and the weirdest thing. Everything is fixed but the water leak and radio. I’m on my own for water leak and they said it would be two weeks before my new programmed radio would be in. I opted not to just leave it there in the meantime. So I get...
