    What did you do to your JK today?

    While I'm happy to see 20 mpg, this is the only way I can get that kind of MPG!

    Stuck front brake caliper

    I dealt with this also, my driver side would intermittently stick . Replaced both front calipers, pads and replaced all 4 brake lines. Because the lines can cause the sticking problem I just did those as well including the back as I was going to need to do a full bleed. This is also the time to...

    Flat towing 2007 Wrangler

    Flat towing my 2010 manual I do not use key. My JK does not have a locking steering wheel. All my electrical needs come from power I added from 'Always on' circuits from the fuse box. Actually I lock the doors while I tow.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Got back from OBX a couple days ago. First flat towing experience, 850 miles, was a success. Jeep did well in the sand. Saw lots of horses. Heading home Saturday, a line of 40-50 jeeps all heading to OBX. Anyone know what event that might have been?

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Heading down to the Outer Banks tomorrow. We'll be looking for wild horses as well. I'll be towing my JK down behind my motor home. I bought off Craig's list a tow bar, braking unit and tow lights. I have been sweating it to mount a Base plate and all the wiring to support it all. I had to...

    Bike rack for jk unlimited

    So I use a trailer hitch 2 bike rack on my RV. It is easy to put on, easy to put bikes on and lock. It is quite stable. BUT as I writing this, with an RV I don't have to deal with tailgates or back doors. So the convenience just took a bit of a nose dive for my other cars, JK and PU truck. But...

    Blue Ox Flat Tow Baseplate & Aftermarket Bumper

    So your charging your jeep from the RV? My RV's hitch has both 4 plug and the round (not sure if that is 7 or 6). I'm afraid to power the brake sys off RV, if there is a break away and no power will brake systems stop the jeep? I don't know if Roadmaster can do that

    Blue Ox Flat Tow Baseplate & Aftermarket Bumper

    So I'm going to look at a used BlueOx 10,000 lb towbar, Roadmaster Braking system and towmate tow lighting system. This plus a Currie/RockJocks base plate gets me up and towing the fastest and most economically. Concerned about power draw for brake system and lights on the JK's battery. I have...

    Anyone ever tow with their JK?

    I would like to tow my Jeep behind my RV and have the Jeep towing a trailer with my motorcycle on it. I think that is actually legal in some states. I wouldn't do this but I wish there was a way to bring both Jeep and Motorcycle with me

    What does my front end need?

    How much money do you want to spend? Seems to me that there are endless options. Is it for show or go? The Go stuff usually costs much more. PO on my jeep put on led headlight, fog lights and they do light up the road really well You could do the below. PO did that to mine and I like it

    Coolant Rusty or just appears that way?

    Pink is a different type (Some call it lifetime ) and if you mix types they will turn to gel. I have pink in mine as well. Until you have correct replacement type, if you need to do any top off, use Distilled water

    Angry Eyes

    Not a fan. When I was looking to buy, as soon as I saw a Jeep with it, NEXT. But that is my feeling. Obviously there are many that like the look. I don't like cooked broccoli either I like the angel eyes on my headlights (PO added them) but I'm sure there are many that don't

    Which winch?

    So what type of portable did you go with? I don't like the one car aspect of a mounted winch and as you say I could use it on my jeep or my Frontier or even pulling stuff like loading my adv bike into my truck bed.

    Has anyone in PA had issues with these fender flares?

    GmcFarland7 is the one who was inquiring about flare and tire width. I'm running stock everything at the moment. I scratch my off road itch using my Dual sport motorcycle. Though I am thinking of towing my JK behind my rv and doing some off roading with it

    JK Brake Torque Specs

    Working inside the wheel well on jack stands I could only muster a bit over 100 ft lbs for the fronts. Along with blue lock tight I'm ok with that amount of tightening. It sure did not take 120 ft lbs to loosen them. I could have gotten to 120 if I was working from underneath.

    What is the easiest way to reconnect the air dam?

    Mine is a bit loose as well. Hope to remove shortly to add Flat tow bracket. I'm trying to figure out how to better secure my inner fenders. The back of them rest on the frame rail and there is play enough I hear them banging down on the rail as I drive. I'm thinking of somehow zip tying them...

    Has anyone in PA had issues with these fender flares?

    I think in most cases it just gives an excuse if they want to pull you over. Things like smoked license plate covers, slightly loud exhaust. No one cares but if they are following you on a slow day, haven't met the quota for the month. I think that's a pretty standard regulation, even here in NJ...

    Gas tank skid plate replacement

    This is interesting that the tank is held up by the skid plate. I wanted to take my skid plate off and re-finish it as there is surface rust on it. But now it seems this is not that easy

    Issue with brakes after stopping hard on 2008 JKU

    Hopefully they flushed the brake fluid. This is why I DIY, $300 for new front calipers, pads and 4 SS brake lines. It was about a days worth of work. I did Hoses too as I have read that sometimes people replace calipers but still have sticking calipers because hoses were collapsed and that was...
