    JK high school build

    For a 2dr, you might need them because of the shorter wheelbase but I'll defer to others that have the knowledge. You have to remember, 75% of JK's sold were JKU's, so there seem to be a LOT more 4dr builds out there.

    JK high school build

    Totally agree. On a 2dr, I don't feel you "need" more than 2.5" for 35". Might want to do a fender chop or get aftermarket for greater clearance. Once you go higher than that, as @Danarch said, the add-ons can add up. Also, I absolutely concur with getting proper rims. I'm one of those that...

    That is very true, too. 😁

    JK high school build

    I believe going easy on the skinny pedal and learning to drive with finesse is directly proportional to part longevity. ;)

    Bolt size

    Likely much cheaper than the dealer ;)

    Bolt size

    I'm not sure, but I do know it's a 10mm head. Shoot, you could probably grab any 10 mm under the hood, see if it fits, then take it to the hardware store and match up with a couple new ones. Or possibly call up a dealership and get the actual part number and order it from them

    The Official Jeep Wrangler JK Oxygen (O2) Sensor Thread

    My wifes cousin has fainting goats. Those are the weirdest animals, but I digress :D The only caution I would have for you is to secure any extra cable. You don't want to have to replace it a 2nd time because the cable rested on the hot exhaust. I just checked the pricing and see that the...

    The Official Jeep Wrangler JK Oxygen (O2) Sensor Thread

    Looks like harness length. If you look up those part numbers on the ntk site, and then look at the specs, the 61 is 14 inches in length and the 62 is 10 inches in length. I don't know if there are any electrical differences, but I doubt it. If you are handy with a soldering iron, might work to...

    The Official Jeep Wrangler JK Oxygen (O2) Sensor Thread

    I wouldn't trust the database from advance, AutoZone, even Amazon... (especially Amazon), that's why I linked to the OEM website. The chart below is for a 2016 which is kind of interesting and reinforces what you posted. This shows a sort of cross compatibility but not an all compatibility. Jks...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    I had one of those in my old Cherokee! I scrounged it off of a chevy pickup, IIRC. Did you have this around or purchase new? That might be something I have to copy ;)

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Yeah, the passenger side was a b****. I had to pound it out from the top because of my rock rails not allowing a good swing and I messed up the alignment. No biggie, just added insult to injury. :) All good now. I'd recommend all Jeepers do this.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Well, yesterday, but I finally got around to replacing the door bushings with Delrin ones from TMR. this is probably the 4th JK I've done this on. Usually makes removing/opening the door much smoother.

    2012 JK skid plate part number

    There are skid plates that are in addition to the gas tank skid plate. As MacGyver said the gas tank skid plate is actually what holds it in place. If you find a gas tank skid plate that replaces the existing one, and is cheaper, post it up. Most that I've seen are in addition to the existing...

    Alternator & Winching

    Yup. I sometimes miss the simple stuff. That also gives you a working spare. Maybe not at the same performance level, but usable until a new one can be had.

    Sorry, I didn't see #22 before I posted. S'all good. 🍻

    Brake Upgrades

    Perhaps I should clarify and say contact area. Hey, I'm not the engineer ;) And we can agree to disagree. My view is anecdotal to others but based on my experience. I would be interested in reading anything that can prove a slotted, drilled rotor is superior to a solid rotor for typical...

    Brake Upgrades

    I agree that surface irregularities can increase surface area, but a slot isn't an irregularity, it's removal of mass and material. I try to avoid don't mud now, but I have had crap wedged in calipers behind them dust shield lots of different crannies around the rotor. It seem to be worse when...

    Brake Upgrades

    Slotted rotors are great for a race car where you're developing high heat and you need to exhaust the gases. I haven't really had that need on a Jeep, and my experience has been to have mud and gunk get in the slots and chew things up more than normal. I would rather have the increased surface...
