    TJ to JK, I have questions

    Agree! Hidden Falls Adventure Park in Marble Falls, TX here is pretty fun, they have some creeks and waterfalls and you go through, just gets that white dust wet and it slings it up everywhere, so I guess "mudding" isn't the 100% accurate term, considering I grew up in Houston and it's a...

    Good info....I own a 2005 TJ and 2008 JK both with the NSG370, the TJ 4.0 and the JK the 3.8...and yesterday got a CJ5 again like my first Jeep in College. 1. Engine alone, the TJ in my opinion. 2. Driving....the JK started the phase that these are now SUVs. The TJ is still a Jeep. That's...

    Coolant Leak on 2012 3.6L

    It sure if this is your original 2012, but 10 years hoses can go, so can water pump. I always start simple. 1. You’ve got to work this, so don’t put any more coolant in for now. I’d put in distilled water and fill it. 2. Run it and follow hoses. Hoses to heater core and to water pump...

    H13 to H4 wiring change for Headlights?

    So, the H13 passenger was all coming apart.l inside, so I unpinned the 3 and then took them off the wire mostly, as to not lose any (there is literally very little to work with) I left the crimp on front the connector. They are on super tight. I then put a larger blade connector, and crimped...

    H13 to H4 wiring change for Headlights?

    Has anyone else just taken an H4 pigtail connection and cut off the H13 headlight connection? These H13 suck in my opinion, and both on my sons 08 the dam clip no longer really snaps in, etc. so I’m changing them either way, just figured why not switch to H4 while I’m cutting, crimping and...

    2008 Jeep Wrangler JKU won't crank

    Got ya. My 08 do the exact same thing 3 weeks ago. Son drives it home from Army, and just nothing, proper voltage everywhere. Pulled that blade connection, used needle nose to squeeze the connector down, and it was tight to go on, but bam, zero problem. I’m not sure that’s a common issue, but...

    New Axle Shaft won’t go in

    Isn’t there a deal where there were Rubicon’s that had the Dana 44 HD which meant a 32 spline count? I don’t know if that meant a different shaft on the front or not, but with that big of a difference in a part, that is the place to start. I’d pull the diff cover and se show it goes in etc...

    2010 JK Sport won't start, won't crank, won't even click

    Curious if you made progress here. If I read correctly, here was your status: 1. The battery is new, so you have full cold cranking amps 12.4V+ 2. Your starter works, it engages if you take it off and have it bench tested (although, I have had one that passes at Autozone but won't turn a car...

    Brake Caliper Needed

    Got my boys 2008 JK replacing rear brakes. The passenger caliper is toast. Just reading I should make sure it bleeds, sounds like a rubber hose issue is out there. I’ll do that, but is this a “Mopar” only part for some, or aftermarket?

    2008 JK Starting or Dead Battery Issue

    My son's 2008 JK has been a pain. I replaced the battery in December, so it's not the issue. If I leave it a few days, it won't start. I've pulled everything but the cables to start it. The issue that I'm seeing is that my son is driving it, I'm checking the battery and it looks to be...

    Battery Bleed Suggestions

    Have a 2008 JK 2 Door. I replaced the battery a month ago, and went back out and dead. Anyone have a good process to figure out what is drawing and draining the battery overnight? I had the Jscan OBD on there, and took it off. Anyone have any pointers to possible draws? It has some extra...

    2008 JK Timing Cover Oil Leak

    Yeah, I was finding that today too. It was one of those nights I just was under it looking, trying to see what exactly is the issue after what I've done to work it. The bottom of the filter is pretty wet, but it's wet all up behind the harmonic balancer. I cleaned it all once, and I think...
