    Bought my first Jeep

    JK Newbie, Do you know what differential gears are in your Jeep? Downsizing from 37's to 33's will increase your engine rpm's for a given speed. If the previous owner installed gearing to match the tire size increase, you may not like the extra rpm's the Jeep will be running at while at...

    Snow chain recommendations for 33" KO2 tires

    I remember those days working storms before I retired, but not 3 days straight like you. My longest shift was 40 hours straight on the clock, then home for 8 hours rest, then back for another 40 hour shift. No sleep on either shift. I was rummy for several days after until I got enough rest...

    Snow chain recommendations for 33" KO2 tires

    Yeah it's nuts there. I can't stand the place anymore. It's always an adventure going over Donner Summit (I-80) during a storm.:rolleyes:

    Snow chain recommendations for 33" KO2 tires

    California has what they call "R3" conditions, that require chains on all vehicles including 4x4 vehicles. But they will shut down the roads if the conditions get to that point. All vehicles are required to carry chains during winter if travelling in an area that could have chain control...

    Snow chain recommendations for 33" KO2 tires

    Tire chains such as Pewag Chains that have the cam lock tighteners are probably the best ones. There are also other brands out there that have the cam locks. I've used them for many years while working for the major California Utility and working in the Sierras. And yes, even 4x4's are required...

    Overactive Key Fob

    If you have two working key fob's, you don't need J-Scan to program a new fob. With two working fob's you can program a new fob with key on ignition cycles. If only one working key fob, then yes you'll need J-Scan to do it yourself.

    Will suspension from a 2021 Gladiator fit my JK?

    It depends on what your budget is for a lift. Less expensive way to get a small lift is the spring spacer lift such as the Teraflex 1.5" lift, or if your funds allow it you can go with the AEV 2.5" lift (the lift I'll be going with next year), or another brand of your choosing. Take into...

    Parie City SVOP

    What size are your tires that you are running with the AEV 2.5 lift? It's most likely the lift I'm going to use on my stock '16.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Thank you for this. I messaged them to see if they have a bumper.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Thanks. I've been looking for one, and notice there are aftermarket knockoff bumpers, but finding a nice used 75th Anniversary isn't easy.

    Cold Air up through center Console/E-Brake

    My 2016 JKUR has a lot of cold air coming through the center console area behind the shift lever and comes out below the E-Brake lever. Is there a seal under there that has maybe failed? Trying to figure out where to start checking before removing the console. Right now I have some rags...

    What jump box are you using?

    I've got the NOCO GB150. Got it for my Diesel pickup but put it in the Jeep for trips.

    JK Buying / Inspecting Advice

    See if there is a Carfax on the Jeep to show if there has been any repairs/maintenance done that has been reported. Yes, things can be done to the vehicle that are not reported on the Carfax report, but if the vehicle had regular maintenance done by a dealer it will show up. Also can show how...

    Just wanted to say hi. I'm a new JK Rubicon owner, but not new to Jeeps. Still a member at Wrangler TJ Forum, and look forward to learning all about my new to me 2016 Wrangler Rubicon 4 door that I just purchased today. Rich
