    New speakers sound punchy

    If you went to a stereo shop the sales men would have said adding bigger speakers wont change the volume. To get better sound it needs a new stereo and amplifier to increase the volume and to get better sound. Changing the speakers is at the end of the line and can get a better sound than stock...

    Teraflex ST1 1.5" kit

    I have the 2017 JKU and did the Leveling kit which I think is the same as yours. I dont notice a sag in rear and have replaced the bumpers. But thats what make a jeep a jeep, do as you want to it.

    Leveling kit with stock tires

    Bilstein 5100 Series Fronts are 1.5-3 inch lift and rear are 2-3.5 inch lift I did just the leveling kit. Here is the rub, for Illinois they would not ship me the front shocks, they said the state would not allow it, sent to daughter out of state.

    Leveling kit with stock tires

    I have a 2917 JKU and just installed the Teraflex Leveling kit that replaces coils and front sway bar links. I also replaced the shocks with Bilstein 5100 shocks . Tires at that time where stock rims with KO2 265/70R17. They worked well with the leveling kit. I have replaced tires and rims with...

    Aftermarket fenders?

    Do you have the inner fender liner (replace or original) or did you just pull them off and not use an inner fender? I like the look.

    First time JK owner

    I would have the engine pressure checked at each cylinder. I could be you dont like the power output or it could have a real engine issue but parts swapping is not the answer.

    Axle Breather Tubes

    I just did a leveling kit and my breather tube to the axel is a little tight. Should I get some extra tubing and a connector to make it longer? What do the big lifts do? 2017 Jeep JKU Sport.

    Paint recommendations

    If you go to a profession paint shop, they can match the paint and put it in spray cans instead of buying little spray cans. You could also just buy a new front grill of the same color. Try the paint , if it is a fail buy the grill. Look on youtube for painting grills and see how they do it.

    How to get to gas tank top (fuel pump & evap connectors) in a 2018 Wrangler JKU without dropping the tank

    I agree, drain tank, then drop it..it will be a lot lighter. Who wants to cut open the jeep floor to get to the tank..more work.

    2017 1.5-2 inch lift

    Wanting to level or a small lift on my 2017 JKU jeep. If I do get a Teraflex (1.5-inch sport S/T1) kit that comes with Springs but no shocks, what shocks should I get? I might just go with the spacers. I am old UPS guy who jumped out of the truck to much, bad knees. So I did not want to lift it...

    2012 JKU out of fuel at 1/4 on Gauge

    The Jerry can and run it till it's empty and fill it up with 5 gallons is a smart idea. At least it will tell you how many miles you can go on a full tank. If it's your daily driver style driving then it's not a big priority. Once you get within 100 miles of that empty refill it. It's not a...

    Very upset that car wash damaged my Jeep

    Oil changes are the easiest thing to do and I am sure we all have heard horror stories about a screwed up oil change at places.
