Changed the thermostat out since the original one was stuck closed. That is the easiest thermostat change I've ever done on a vehicle.

I called at least 20 dealerships today and everyone told me they are showing 5/20 as an estimated ship date, but that it's been pushed back weekly for the last 3ish months. One dealer even said they had a handful of JK's & JL's setting waiting for them. I usually will snatch up NOS Mopar parts...

Bought the only Mopar thermostat in 3 states around me, from a dealer 3 hours away. Was told at several dealers that they have been on backorder for 3-4 months and no end in sight. Mine decided to fail closed yesterday.

These bags had tools put in them and then taken out. They are in like new condition. Price is for both bags shipped to the lower 48.

Swapped the factory speakers for a Kicker set up from Bantam Overland. These are a massive improvement over the OEM infinity, even with the factory amp. Granted, I have a radio with an excellent equalizer in it. The fronts are a mid-bass with tweeter and the rears are full range. They really...

Lost some more weight today. I would never use the hitch, so off it came.

That is about right. That is a shop charging $150 for a full days worth of work.

It really depends on what you are doing with the JK. A lot of people who off-road theirs will switch to a soft top because of the ease of getting it off and they are easier to replace IF they damage it on the trail. On my TJ, I took the hardtop off for a soft top for these reasons. Also, living...

Installed the Hot Heads headliner and their sound deadening strips. The install was very easy. It only took me about an hour by myself from start to finish. Going to be interesting to see over the next couple of days how much improvement there is. I've got about 3-4 weeks before I pull the hard...

Installed the DV8 door pockets inplace of the cheap Amazon ones. These are much sturdier and mount much better. Now I need to find a good holster for my pew pew that will mount to the molle panel. Also installed a flashlight mount to my seat. It was must laying beside the e-brake handle...

Never had this Jeep off road. I'll keep a watch on it. I don't think changing the oil pump would be hard, just time consuming.

My 2012 is throwing P06DE code intermittently. The oil pressure sensor was recently replaced with a Mopar unit. Oil pressure, according to Torque Pro, is between 25-80 PSI depending on engine load when the engine is warm. Upon a cold start, oil pressure is up to 90-95 PSI. It seems like the dual...

I can't figure out how to get the recording to post. Here is the link where I got the muffler idea from. The picture is the part number.

Mine lost and rebalanced weight. I ditched the large, heavy, and plugged up OEM muffler last week. I've driving it this week with just the resonator and it was too loud for me. I wound up installing a 4" round Magnaflow straight through muffler today. It sounds really good. When I removed the...

Not all Rubicon's got 4.10 gears. I'd pull your VIN to verify. I wouldn't put a lift on without adjustable control arms. Your ride, ground clearance, and alignment will be much better. Don't skip out.
