I hadn't seen discussions about using spacers. Why are they needed? Granted, it's been a few years, but the info I saw didn't discuss the need for shims. I did read a suggestion of trimming the non-threaded parts of the mounting bolts to give clearance when installing. I watched this video a...

This is from my kit I still have in the garage. I really do want to install it, but I have an underhood air compressor that I need to relocate or just put in a little tool bag. The kit number is P5160050

quadratec.com has parts diagrams and can assist, too

Changed the hard top and full doors to the soft top and halfsies on Monday, then a cold front moves in and rain today. Tuesday I did have the uppers off and the Sunrider part flipped back. I really like the height of the factory half doors. Still need to do spring cleanup from the winter salt...

Retrofit carries these, but they say out of stock

I would say it really depends on how you want to use your Jeep. You don't say what model you have or if you have a lift or plan on lifting it. For someone just getting back into it, I would say diff skids, lower control arm skids, & an upgraded gas tank skid plate would all be good for basic...

Yeah, I have the AEV 2.5 and I have their front bumper w/a warn winch and the rear bumper & tire carrier. As outfitted, it was a lot smoother than the stock 2dr I had with Rubi springs. I new set of shocks may help, but I agree the suspension seems to like a little heft on the 2dr.

Okay, not necessarily done to my jk, but I use it with my JK and it's jk-adjacent, 😁 Scored a set of Moab hikers. Friend of my daughter works for Wolverine World Wide and gets these not-for-resale samples. She saw these and thought of our family. I got to them before my son did 😂. I've had...

I have to add, mine had the AEV 2.5" lift when I got the jeep at 22k miles. At 98k miles, here's my observation. It's got 3.73 gears &35s ‐ regear highly recommended but elevation and terrain play a big part... i plan on doing it, just hasnt been a priority. I'm done doing really technical...

Oh man. I just did some searching and found that the baffle is part of the housing (2014-2018) 68232367AA and it's not cheap. I'm seeing $659 online. I would suggest using car-parts.com and going used or attempting a repair. Looks like a pain to replace, too. Good luck.

Sometimes replacing seals, sometimes just cleaning things really well. I searched the resources area and didn't find it, but I've attached the "Jeep Wrangler Diagnosis & Repair Manual - Water Leaks" pdf that I got some years ago off the web. I've battled leaks on some of my JK's and others have...

I have a 2016 with the factory evic that shows individual tire pressure. I think that's the requirement, but if you can see TPMS data in jscan, it seems you would be able to display it in torque. All I can say is the values above are what I used in my torque app and it does work on mine.

I don't recall how much coolant loss was involved. I usually use vice-grip hose clamps to minimize loss. 50/50 is more convenient but concentrated coolant is cheaper (just use distilled water to mix). For spark plugs and sensors, I go with oem. Just because the plugs are such a pain to get to...

Pics or it didn't happen :P
