yeah dude just go with a 2-3 inch level and 33s. thats the sweet spot imo. my hemi JK runs that setup and rides way better than you'd think. bigger than that and you're getting into regearing territory which gets expensive fast. what lift you got already?

yeah the vacuum pump is a pain. mine kept rubbing on the hemi headers so i just moved it up near the firewall and ran longer lines. not ideal but worked. make sure you're not pinching anything when you relocate it tho, learned that the hard way lol for the winch, you gotta reinforce that bumper...

yeah man the only real shortcut is having everything laid out before you start. i pulled my heads on my hemi build and honestly just taking time to organize all your bolts and clips saves so much frustration. also get a good lift and some jack stands so you're not crawling around like crazy. if...

honestly havent run one of those but ive heard mixed things. some guys swear by em for the price, others say the solenoid dies after like a year of use. if youre just winching yourself out of light spots occasionally itll probably be fine. but if youre actually using it a lot id spend the extra...

yeah dude mine was crusty too. bunch of dirt packed up under there that i couldn't even see til i dropped it. just hose it out and see what you got. sometimes theres small cracks or leaks that only show up once its clean. if tranny fluid's good youre probably fine though

yeah man that's weird. mine started doing something similar after i went through some deeper water than i should've. turned out water got into the abs module and it was sending wonky signals to the transmission. try unplugging the abs fuse and see if the shifting clears up. if it does then you...

honestly if the sidewall's messed up you gotta replace it. that's not safe. but if it's just the tread area and not too deep i've kept running them. my JK went through some gnarly rocks last year and had a chunk out of the tread, aired down and limped it back. rode it like that for another month...

honestly the main ones are mopar factory vs aftermarket. factory is gonna be heavier but fits better, aftermarket stuff like smittybilt or go industries is lighter and cheaper but sometimes gaps are kinda weird. if you're gonna have it on all the time get factory, if you're swapping it off and...

depends what you got. if its a newer JK with that eco button on the dash just hold it down and itll toggle off. some guys just unplug that module entirely but honestly the fuel savings are pretty minimal when youre running a hemi anyway lol. mine stays off 99% of the time

depends what you're doing with it honestly. if you just want to look cool and hit the mall, go with whatever. but if you're actually wheeling, get something with good articulation. i run a 4.5" on my JK and it rips. make sure you budget for the whole package tho - new shocks, control arms, all...

Yo, so ECO mode is honestly one of those things that trips people up because it depends on which JK you've got. If you're running a newer JK with the newer dash setup, you should see an "ECO" button right on your steering wheel controls – just tap that bad boy and it toggles off. Super simple...

Dude, good question because there's actually some legit differences to know about. On my JK I went through this whole thing when I wanted to swap my soft top. So basically you've got OEM hardtops, which are the factory units. Those are solid and hold their value, but man, they're pricey. They...

Hey man, good question because this is something a lot of us run into. Honestly, the answer depends on a few things. First, check the actual damage. If you've got a small puncture in the tread, you can usually get that plugged no problem. I've done it myself on my JK more times than I'd like to...

Hey man, that's a weird one but I've actually seen this before on JKs. The ABS module can definitely mess with transmission behavior if it's going haywire – it communicates with the TCM and if it's sending bad signals, your transmission gets confused about what's happening. First thing I'd do...

Dude, yeah that's pretty common actually. Once you get that skid plate off you realize how much stuff is just... hanging out down there, haha. On my JK I was honestly surprised how exposed everything felt without it. So here's the thing – if it's just dusty and dirty underneath, no biggie. Just...
