    Transmission fluid check

    I've heard some good and bad stories with changing the pan. I dunno at 196k I'd be happy if the transmission didn't die on me first before changing the fluid again haha

    Transmission fluid check

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BOU6UJA/?tag=jkforum-20 it looks like they do. Thats cool to know. My research so far has shown that jeep jks from 2007-2013 used the 42RLE which this one is. Then I guess a MOPAR filter or something is standard with that?

    Transmission fluid check

    yeah we're the original owners. We've had her for 15 years now so not sure when or if we've done it. We have never gone off roading, some hauling here and there but nothing regular. There are some good videos out there with tips. Main challenging part is putting permatex as a gasket on and...

    Transmission fluid check

    Just wanted to check my transmission fluid cuz ya know why not. The engine is cold and the fluid was above the hot dots. Is that a problem? Nothing wrong with the shifting just was curious. And what do you think about the color? When do you think it is dirty? To me it looks red orange and...

    2008 JK 2 door soft top compatible roof rack options?

    Revisiting this again. Anybody else have any roof rack experiences they can share? The Gobi looks good but the rugged ridge one where you can easily tilt it back to take sift too down seems pretty essential. The Gobi one doesn't seem to mention an ability to do that. The ability put a tent...

    The rickety 2008 is back! P0128

    Update! It's been a few days since I changed it Sunday and I've driven a bit and on Sunday I changed the coolant sensor as I had changed the t Stat no long ago. So far so good! If it comes back on though I'll do the t Stat next. Om the original there was slight seepage around the threads.

    Added a Tail Light on the Wheel

    The night time picture is terrible but was the best I could take without taking out my DSLR which would have been a bit extra. But nonetheless, 20 bucks for a cool extra tail light. Not a bad add on if I may say so. And the girlfriend approved because of it "being an extra safety feature"...
