Dark side convert completely. I sold it about 2 years ago. Could not reconcile not having a rock crawler, so I found my current rig. It was a rotisserie build in 2009 for the 2010 SEMA show by the owner of discount tire. It had 27k miles on it when it was done at a shop in Phoenix. The PCM has...

Great write up! Thanks for taking the time to detail this build. I bought a 2007 JKU with a HEMI swap already in it. I had no idea what I was doing. I just knew I wanted a Jeep that was 90% built already to avoid the severe losses I have endured over the last three builds. My build has a 345...

Probably nailed it.

The top link is a self closing shield, it could be used on each line, or the second link is a adhesive sheet, it could be wrapped around all the lines. Not sure what would be best. https://www.amazon.com/13mm-aluminized-protection-Harnesses-Automotive/dp/B09MVYN2YY/?tag=wranglerorg-20...

I know it's an old post, but I am having some issues on my Hemi swapped 2007 JKU. Crawling, trails, local runs, flat freeway, no issues. As soon as I start a freeway climb, temps go from 200 to 230 in just a few miles. I do have a cramped engine bay and a huge Warn powerplant mounted in front of...

Yes, that is normal for 4H on pavement. Your axle U joints are loading then unloading (or proper term "binding") when turning tight. Leave 4H off when on dry pavement. It accelerates wear.

Any details on the Genesis dual battery system? Is it simple to install?

Good point, wet harness connectors are usually sealed fairly well compared to the head unit. OP, if you have compressed air, maybe a little low power blow in the head unit vents/holes could remove some rust or corrosion flakes that might be causing the intermittent issue. It is free if you have...

Try Kroil, it seems to work better than PB blaster most of the time. From what I hear, Kroil is a trans fluid and acetone mix. Don't floor jack too much, maybe lift 3". So measure resting height and go up from there. Do this in about the 45 degree door open spot, then wiggle the door slightly...

If it blows again, put a 30 amp in and call it good.

The leak is minimal but also very recent as no dust or dirt stuck to it. Any new play or wear could cause the seal to oblong/deform and let a little fluid past it. Does the noise change with acceleration? If not, then it is probably just a dry or worn seal starting to weep. If the noise does...

Just re read your post, I missed the Tow hook mount part of the post. Do you mean under the hook like a bolt on?

Good looking and "shows" well.

Not much to add here but a few years ago on offerUp, I bought 3 Warn i9000 winches that were "used" and a little sun faded for $500. All worked great. The winches were from some agency in AZ that automatically replaced them after X amount of years. I would guess from inspecting them, they were...
