    Oil cooler install is failing

    We swapped my son’s badly leaking cooler for a doorman, and still had a slight leak. Swapped for an OEM and all went well. The doorman looked ok when we pulled it out, so I’m thinking maybe a seal or maybe installer error. That was on a 2014 JKR with 150k. That was not a fun job for us...

    Lift kit (did I get bamboozled?)

    My bad. That was a typo, they are 17"

    Lift kit (did I get bamboozled?)

    OK, thanks to everybody that reached out to help on this. The coils that were installed are for the 3.5" lift. This was verified via Rock Krawler's fast and friendly tech support. The shocks are correct for a 2.5" lift. The install shop couldn't explain how this happened, but they have...

    Lift kit (did I get bamboozled?)

    I didn't ask that specifically, but there is a new front JKS adjustable track bar on the front. There's a new Readylift Bolt on Track bracket on the rear- pics attached

    Lift kit (did I get bamboozled?)

    I was quoted a Rock Krawler 07-18 Wrangler JKU 4Dr 2.5" Adventure -B51 and a Rock Krawler Bump Stop Front/Rear kit (1"-4"). I have a 2017 JKU Rubicon HR. I got it back and it looks really high and the steering seems to be much looser than before. I'm having to make way more left and right...

    How can I access the heat shield without removing the muffler?

    My heat shield broke away over the small nuts. I just added some thin, larger washers under the nuts and it’s been solid and quiet for 4 years now.

    Rubicon Red Accents

    Looks nice. What paint did you use? My son did the opposite to his JK Rubi and grayed out the silver pieces. I suggested he accent color (darker gray or black) the “Jeep” & “since 1941”, but he didn’t think he could get the lines sharp. Not sure how that could get done.

    Check TPM System

    I have a 2017 JKU Rubicon with 80k. My son has a 2015 JK with 130k. Both are close to stock and do occasional light off-roading (trail riding). They have been very reliable and mostly trouble free. I think you’ll enjoy your Wrangler.
