    Upgrading Axle Components

    3.71 stock gears, I'm thinking to go 4.88. Also, I don't plan on going to 37's in the near near future but I just want the option to run them eventually. If I can get by with an upgraded front D30 and 35's and maybe even run 37's for a little, I'll be happy.

    Upgrading Axle Components

    How much could that axle replacement cost me? I know there's the option to buy a used D44 and swap that in. I'm just unsure of what else would be required to do that. On top of that I'd still be looking to re-gear and replace the rear axle shafts because one of the seals is leaking. Maybe...

    Upgrading Axle Components

    Hey all, SO my 2015 JK currently has a rear axle seal leak on the passenger side. Originally I thought of just replacing the seal under warranty, but I might not be covered and I am also having a hard time finding available labor to get that work done. I'm hesitant to try a new mechanic for...

    2015 JKU Undercarriage Protection

    Well wouldn't that be fantastic, unfortunately everyone can't just go out and buy a second vehicle...especially me lol I'm aware that rust is inevitable but there are several products out there that greatly reduce the spread and protect it down the line. I posted this to get people's opinions...

    2015 JKU Undercarriage Protection

    Do you have any issues with road debris build-up? I drive on the beaches alot and am concerned about stuff sticking to it and making general maintenance a hassle because of the oily mess. I'm also curious as to how well the FF sticks to the surface. Can I powerwash down the undercarriage and...

    2015 JKU Undercarriage Protection

    Hey all, As winter approaches here in the Northeast, I am looking to get my undercarriage treated for already formed rust and protected from further rusting. I was originally planning on going to a local shop (RMS Offroad - Long Island) to get NHOU (New Hampshire Oil Undercoating) applied. I...

    Buying a new Jeep soon, need some clarity

    I don't think I'm enough of a jeep guy to understand what you just said lol! I apologize for being a newbie! I edited this because I saw you mentioned it would cost $15k for the parts, do you mean for a 3.5'' lift and wheels?? I mean if I wanted a 2.5'' and 35s how much do you think I would be...

    Buying a new Jeep soon, need some clarity

    Like I said, I am very new to this and I am trying to do my research to really learn what I need and what modifications I should do to my wrangler. I'm not looking to fully transform it in a few months and I know it will be a slow process and I am in no rush to do anything. I just want to learn...

    Buying a new Jeep soon, need some clarity

    They have a really clean Rubicon at the dealer I've been talking to with 39k miles. I'm definitely going to try and see if I can fit that in my budget. Thank you for the help though, I appreciate it. Hopefully I will be posting a picture soon!!

    Buying a new Jeep soon, need some clarity

    Thank you for the quick response! So I guess re-gearing will be something I have to do down the line anyway. I'm a recent college grad so unfortunately I don't have a ton of money to spend on mods right away. I understand the ride might not be great with the 3.21/3.73, but will I be putting any...

    Buying a new Jeep soon, need some clarity

    Hey all, I want to try and keep this as short and clear as possible but I have some questions. So, I've been looking at Wranglers for a while now and I am weeks if not days away from purchasing one. I am looking at a 2016 Sahara with 31k miles on it. However, I looked up the build list and I...
