    Bumper Identification

    This bumper is a major pain in the ass. It looks okay, for an older JK, but the design of the bolts is horrible. Nearly each one is hidden, and you have to remove about 12 just to get to the back of the front 8 that hold the bumper to the frame ends. On top of that, only 1 side of the bolts is...

    Belt Squeal—Tensioner Arm?

    Good Afternoon Guys - Newbie to the Jeep 3.8 V-6 here and have a question. Background: I just purchased this 2007 Wranger JK 4-door Sahara. It has 170,000 miles on it and a rebuilt engine. The car runs strong and aside form a few ABS codes about steering wheel position, it's pretty solid...
