    Post-off roading preventive inspection / maintenance

    Assuming diligence with respect to Jeep's recommended maintenance schedule, what are additional inspections and maintenance that it would be wise to do to a vehicle driven off road? In my head I'm thinking of the following categories: 1) Immediate inspections post-wheeling to make sure nothing...

    JK/JL bumper compatibility

    Quadratec has front and rears specifically for the JK. Not sure if there are less expensive options out there, but they sure do look nice.

    Over-revved engine: what have I (potentially) done?

    Noted! I'll be adding this to the maintenance schedule... *scribbles into the margins of the owners manual* Regarding a rev limiter, it didn't sound like it was bouncing off anything, and I would expect any rev limiter kick in before 7000 rpm since redline is something like 6400 I think. But...

    Over-revved engine: what have I (potentially) done?

    Yeah, I did try to replicate the issue, so far without success. We do have those chunky rubber floor mats, so I could see the pedal getting stuck, but it's really just a guess at this point.

    I'll check out that book. I'm currently using OnX to find suitable trails, so it will be good to have an actual book to look through as well. Did a couple trails this past weekend that OnX has rated as 3/10. It's been fun to feel from the driver's seat what the Jeep can do and make seem easy!

    Hello From Phoenix, AZ

    Thanks for the tip about the TJ forum and planned rides. (y) Bleu Belle is a nice looking Jeep. I'm an 80s kid, so square headlights have some nostalgia for me:cool: Yeah, I'm finding the amount of trails out here in AZ is amazing, should keep me busy for a while! Recently found out about...

    Hello From Phoenix, AZ

    New to the forum and Wranglers (owned an '87 and '88 XJ back in the day). Been looking for a bit, and contemplated a YJ or TJ (even posted in the YJ forum about that), but ultimately went with a 2012 Rubicon, 41000 miles, manual, all stock as far as I can tell. I'm new to off-roading in...
