Nothing in the resources section on the go to spark plug recommendation for the 3.6. Go a 2012 JK and a Dorman oil cooler should arrive tonight... seeing as how I will have the intake off I might as well do plugs...talk me into new coils if you want... Just did the clutch at 156k miles and...

Finished the clutch job on our '12 JK. Man that double clutch heavy flywheel is smooth. Centerforce. Wife loves it. Crawled up our steep driveway with no gas pedal. Took it for a shakedown cruise on some mild Forest Service roads...up 1817 and down 1833 in the Willamette National Forest outside...

My Jscan would do this occasionally. You just have to reset everything to stock...set the tire and axle ratio back to normal. Might take a couple of clears and programs but it will work. The Jscan Facebook group is an excellent source of support. Never did get it to set the speedo right...

Depin the connector...slide on some epoxy heat shrink... -Mac

If you're going to spend $10 on oil spend $80 and get the HF synthetic rope. It's lighter...might be miniscule gas savings...safer...easier on the hands. Also... don't leave your shackles on your bumper. By the time you need them they'll either be gone or rusted solid...never mind the noise. -Mac

Most states won't let you put an older engine into a vehicle. Newer one is just fine. Best advice I've ever seen is the hardest thing to do is Jeep parts into other Jeeps. I'd get a reman 3.6, rebuild yours, LS or Hemi swap it before I'd even think about a 4.0. And I love my 4.0 in my...

Almost to the clutch. Oil cooler is leaking... gotta order a Dorman. Front 1350 Adams driveshaft ordered. Wish I had the coin for a rear driveshaft, new exhaust and some skid plates.

Got back from snow wheeling and watching the clutch smoke waft through the HVAC vents. Ordered a Centerforce dual clutch and flywheel kit from Amazon. Pulled the driveshafts...front is gone... factory shaft and was expecting it since we have a 4" lift. Going to order a Adams 1350 tomorrow after...

Found a Hook Road bumper at the junkyard for our JK...

We're just south of you in Fall Creek outside Eugene/Springfield. Our 2012 JK was leaking through the freedom top right on the radio. We bought new Mopar seals for the middle, then the windshield top seal...that moved the leak to the doors and on to the floors. We just bought new door...

I trussed and sleeved my Dana 30 on my TJ. To do it right you're going to have to completely strip the housing...heat it up to 350 degrees...weld the truss on in small controlled passes to prevent warping...and then wrap it in a fiberglass blanket and control temperature so it cools slowly...

Reason manufacturers say no to antiseize is it throws off torque values and they don't want the liability. That and idiots can get it all over the electrode. I use it...but I also typically use copper high heat. Dialectic grease is good inside the boots. Pull the plugs and post pictures...

These folks are all over the PNW and will ship everywhere. I was in the Eugene yard yesterday and they just brought in a 10' JKU. https://www.autowrecking.com/ -Mac

Fun road with a fresh coat of snow out of Crescent, OR with my wife in her JK and me in my TJ. -Mac

Welcome to death wobble! I'd definitely look at replacing the tires. I'd jack up the front and feel out the wheels. Should be smooth. If you're lucky it's tires. Could be rims. Hubs. Bushings. Links. Lots of things. Bent axles. String works good for eyeballing alignment...get a string just...

Luk or Centerforce. Don't over clutch your Jeep. Too much clutch...things to make it handle high HP like multiple disks etc ... can compromise driveability. Just say no to AutoZone. I bought my Luk for my TJ on Amazon. A pilot bearing puller is also cheap but I've always used white bread...

I betcha I could fix that in about 20 minutes with a heat gun. Maybe 30 because it's 37 degrees out... -Mac

Hi guys, wife and I are thinking of making a trip to Vancouver Island next summer from Oregon. Curious if we need any special permits or registration. Tips for offroading on the island? Recommended areas? Thanks!

I'd check engine grounds and wiring in the area you worked. Wiggle plugs. Any hidden codes? -Mac

I'd take 100k and rock chips over angry eyes. To each their own... More opinions about parts just increases the diversity of what's available...and that's good for everyone... Angry eye grills makes decent used takeoffs cheap...as evidenced by the post. I'm good with cheap parts! -Mac
