    How to Blow Up Your Jeep

    How about the bore driver/passengers just behind the exploding Jeep. There was probably a whole line of cars that got flat tires pulled to side with the RV. Oh and I think Gorilla Tape may be needed here

    Brake Caliper Recommendations

    Too new to know. But they are shiny new silver now. I thought of doing a painting but being cold and not doing both frt/back I'm just going with whatever coating they have on them.

    Brake Caliper Recommendations

    Had similar issue with sticking frt caliper. I replaced front with stock single piston but they were new Rabestos, not rebuilt. I did new pads and new SS powerstop hoses (frt and back). I did hoses in case my sticking problem was hose issue. The calipers came with new brackets as well, new crush...

    Looking for opinions on a 2010 JK Sport

    I'm only about 1500 miles into my 2010 JK hardtop, manual. Bought with 46k miles on the clock. I'm the 3rd owner. I just finished replacing the front calipers and SS brake lines all around. The front driver would randomly stick and drag. So that was a buzz kill. I don't have enough seat time yet...

    Phone holder

    I just order the Rugged Ridge tray with Ball mount. That is where I will put my GPS. I bought from Walmart a couple years ago one of those windshield mounts with the long flexible extender. With this I can position my phone inline with my left A pillar so it is close at hand and doesn't...

    My first Wrangler: What sort of things do I need to be aware of?

    Brake fluid Flush. I'm in the middle of replacing front calipers and decided at the same time replacing all (4) brake hoses with SS. When I Turkey bastered out brake fluid from the reservoir It was dirrrrttty. What I'm bleeding is also dirrrrttty. The new in is Clear. The old out is Black. I'm...

    Snow in the south

    Unfortunately my blue JK looks like yours except it's Salt that covers the poor thing. Not getting the incredible cold you guys are but cold enough NOT to melt the 18-20 inches of snow everywhere. Also to cold to run it through a quick car wash rinse off plus driving it back home would cover it...

    Soft Top or Not?

    I am also in the same boat. Only have Hard top and I started looking for a soft top. Then I started thinking is it worth the $$ for a soft top. I did get to remove the freedom panels a couple times.

    Is this used 2010 Jeep Wrangler Sahara a good purchase?

    6 owners would scar me (as previously said if they were quick turn overs) and from the mechanic inspection there is a bit of pain to pay to square those issues. I think prices are moving up though in general. When I started looking several months before I bought, Inventory was disappearing...

    Brake line replacement

    So I will be replacing my front calipers due to a drivers side sticky caliper. I thought I would also replace all 4 hoses with SS hoses. I don't have a lift but maybe in the future. The hoses come either as a 4" lift or stock height. So for potential future lifts, can Brake hoses for a 4" lift...

    Should 150k miles deter me from buying this 2011 JK?

    Everyone says go for 2012 and above. Problem with that is that everyone goes for the 2012 and above so the $$$$ follow. I think it depends on what your going to use it for. A daily driver that your wife and kids will be using everyday, maybe not such a good idea. I was all about getting a...

    Driver side front brake sticking

    That was my thinking. I am typically of the mind set that if I have to do something like this, what other components can I replace? I certainly don't like to spend money but when you prep to a certain level then sometimes, in my mind, it makes sense to replace some related components while I'm...

    Driver side front brake sticking

    Fluid came out but I could not really turn rotor with any more ease. Wheel/tire were off. I was using a piece of wood between the lugs to get leverage to rotate the rotor. That was the only way to turn rotor.

    Driver side front brake sticking

    Seems to happen when car sits for a few days. So I used 'C' clamp to move piston in and it took some effort, more than I was expecting. Moved it out with brake peddle. Caliper centering pins work freely. I cleaned up the pad slides. Drove it around a couple days and then feel rim for heat...

    New Jeep owner with questions about maintenance, tires, and lift

    Man right hand drive jeep, that has to be a rare bird. I took a trip to Paris many years back. Rented a car in England (Right hand drive, drive on the left side) that was a lot to adjust to as well as being a manual that I now how to shift left handed. We drove to France where you drive on the...

    What do you think of my black accents?

    PO did the grill inserts, I like them. Being a Sport there is plenty Black counter to the Blue, including my hard top. I have thought about plastic coating parts of the aluminum wheels black to add accent there as well. Not full as I like some shiny aluminum at the wheels. It's your jeep, do...

    New (to me) JKU & NE Snow

    Well the above is good info (longer wheel base - makes sense). I can feel the JK does rotate quickly and thought - would this be good on slippery situations? I guess when I need to drive in the snow, I'll leave the JK in the garage and use the Frontier Pro4x

    Should Jeep Wranglers wave to Gladiators?

    Should we wave to other Wranglers at Night? I'm trying to teach my wife to do the wave. She curses me that she is trying to concentrate. She has started. She waved to a Renegade the other day. I had to scold her, you only wave to other Wranglers. I had a Porsche Boxster for years. Porsche's...
