    Do you have a faded or dirty soft top? (Not an ad)

    I ended up buying a soft top last year, just because I wanted the tinted side windows for my soft top. I didn't think I needed it, but got a small tear in my soft top a couple of weeks ago and thought I'd swap it out. This new/used soft top was from an 09 and was used only a couple of times...

    3rd gear clicking sound

    My mechanic squeezed me in the other day before he left town. I have to bring it back for a full eval in a week. Couple possibilities: 1. Throw out bearing: I told him to put a National brand in last year when he put a Luk clutch in. He said he checked out the Luk and National one, side by...

    3rd gear clicking sound

    Did you ever figure this out, or did you fix it with turning up the radio?😀 I had a slight clicking sound underneath last year under low RPM, moderate load in 1st gear. It sounds like someone tied a zip tie on my drive line an didn't cut the slack off, hitting the undercarriage every time it...

    Throttle response booster (off-brand Pedal Commander for 2007 Jeep JK 3.8)

    I saw that on Amazon and was considering it to save some money. But, was concerned about it being made in China (and I'm Chinese! Haha). I hope it lasts a long time, but yes, it makes a difference, especially getting around town and turning it up on a longer freeway drive. Helps a lot on the...

    Newbie, lessons learned on a road trip with the 3.8 with 6-speed manual and soft top

    UPDATE: 5 months later. Just took the same trip with the PEDAL COMMANDER. It's like night and day difference for the same trip with multiple steep grades going up 500 - 1000 feet in elevation at a time (estimated) for a mile or more. I was able to maintain 70-75 up these hills in the right...

    Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada

    If anyone is in Vegas, NV or St. George, UT, it may be worth taking a trip 45 min north from Vegas or an hour south of St. George and head to the Moapa Valley/Logandale area to Valley of Fire State Park. We went on a whim today from St. George, due to rare shitty weather. We got lucky. There...

    Throttle response booster (off-brand Pedal Commander for 2007 Jeep JK 3.8)

    That's awesome! Glad you got it. It makes your jeep more fun to drive. Keep us posted on how it holds up. I hope it lasts forever. I actually eyed that before I got the Pedal Commander. I got my Pedal Commander for $250 (sale) and the size is actually about the same. It just looks bigger in the...

    Leveling kit vs. lift

    It would’ve on mine. I’m 1” higher in the rear right now with all pucks installed. My friend at the shop that installed it at the time prior to install that installing this 2” Terraflex BB would do that. Hind sight, I don’t load down or pull a trailer much, part of me wishes I told him to leave...

    Where is the best place to buy touch-up paint?

    Helpful hint. That’ll last you a long time. It’ll goop up a bit later in life. Don’t toss it. Put a VERY small amount (2 to 3 drops) of lacquer thinner in it and shake it up good. It’ll be as good as new.

    Leveling kit vs. lift

    After MacGuyver's response to my post, he has a point that I should've thought of. Know how much you need to get level and research or inquire about the particular kit you're gonna get. When I told my install guy that I wanted a Terraflex 2" leveling kit, he knew the kit and did tell me that...

    How to change spark plugs and spark plug wires on a Jeep Wrangler JK 3.8

    I was wanting to put anti-seize, but this write-up is not the first time I've heard not to put them on these Champ double platinums. However, if it makes you feel better... mine appear to have been in there for 122,000 miles and change - AND they took minimal force to loosen them after I got...

    Leveling kit vs. lift

    They put all the pucks (2 front/1 rear) in mine. I still have a rake (which I don't mind) that's 1" higher in the rear.

    Leveling kit vs. lift

    You could get a Terraflex 2” leveling kit and don’t install the rear spacer. It’ll sit level on a budget ...OR get a 2.5” Overland lift from Clayton off-road!!!

    Winter tires and tire size change

    I second this motion on BFG KO2s or even KM3s (mud). You won’t have to swap. Or, get another brand M/T that’s rated for snow. You can sell those current ones to someone when spring or summer comes for probabaly $200-350 easy (if you have 50%) and make up the money you spend on the new ones.

    How to change spark plugs and spark plug wires on a Jeep Wrangler JK 3.8

    Great write up, it gave me the courage to tackle this today... after a couple of months of stewing over it, wondering if the PO changed the plugs (I bought the Jeep from a dealer at 118K mi/now has 122k). A guy bought factory Champion plugs for the JK and Amazon sent him a double order and told...

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

    I second the plugs and wires. I bought mine last summer in July '20 w/ 118K miles. I just finished replacing my plugs a few minutes ago (122K miles) and the engine idles about 50% smoother and the acceleration is smoother and improved. Looking at the plugs, the PO did not replace them at...
