    2008 JKU "Argenta" Build Thread (plus a 2010 Islander side project)

    I have JScan and 2 fresh quarts of DOT 4, only takes 10 minutes… I’ll just need the battery box back in place first.

    2008 JKU "Argenta" Build Thread (plus a 2010 Islander side project)

    I'm still waiting on some parts before I can drop the engine and trans in place, so I'm working on what I can. In preparation for the Motobilt Rear Gas Tank, I went through the installation instructions from their website. I haven't ordered the tank yet, simply because I don't want to be...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    We certainly could, though at the moment, the single member LLC offers the best "bang for the buck" thanks to PA being very LLC friendly. We are looking at getting into some real estate investments (residential and commercial), so that would be something of potential in the future. That said, I...

    Smelling gas after filling up

    Given the age and my experience, it's very possibly a small leak at the top of the tank (the seal under the fuel pump sender), a cracked emissions hose at/near the EVAP canister, or a possibly, a failed purge valve. These usually throw a CEL though as it should be doing the EVAP tests under...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Agreed... it would be awesome! My property is in blue, the one we want to buy and add to it is in orange. My driveway sucks (very steep!). Long term, I would convert the front half of the garage into a first level office (it's currently upstairs above garage), and keep the back half as a...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    I already have an LLC for my side business (I’m a fairly busy photographer), though it would be way cheaper in the long run to put that parcel on my personal property deed. My issue is still that the property owner won’t sell the plot… his hold up is that he doesn’t want to go through the...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    I have a decently modest garage but would go absolutely insane for a proper shop... I keep trying to buy the 0.73 acre lot next to us but the owner simply won't sell it. It would absolutely turn into a 0.53 acre mini-farm, with a 0.20 acre shop smack in the middle :) This reminds me of one of...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    I don't think it's so much the $$ saved vs $$ spent, since I think (based on comments in this thread and a few related ones), shops are charging $1100-2500 to regear nowadays. You'll spend ~$600 for a decent 12T press, bearing puller, dial indicator, and some other small stuff you may or may not...

    BF Goodrich K03

    How did they balance? The reports seem to be that they *can* be problematic, similar to the KO2s, and have convinced some people to stay away from them. I'm still leaning towards getting a set of their 39"s KO3's as my winter set of tires when the time comes...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    A lot of gear companies used to get their forgings from “Circle K”, but even then they were responsible for matching, finish work, etc. Nowadays, it seems to be a crapshoot (thanks Covid!)… The last two sets from Yukon I got were either from India or Pakistan, and looked nothing like they used...

    Best LED Headlights

    I wonder how hard they’d be to setup for a JK not originally equipped with LED’s…

    What did you do to your JK today?

    I’ve had nothing but good luck with Motive gears and install kits. My most recent (my 14B) is untested but they patterned nice and I don’t expect any issues. They’re considerably better in fit and finish than Yukons anymore…

    Has anyone installed JL brakes on a JK?

    Make sure you make a solid "How to" for it... all too often, YouTube links go dead or can't be updated easily, so very few actually do make updates. It's nice to have a full list of part#s and what you did. I'll be considering this for my daughter's Islander if we ever bump hers up to 35"s...

    I’m gonna tie them on to the same circuit as my rock lights… should be handy for trails, camping, rescue missions, etc.
