    What did you do to your JK today?

    My TJ only gets driven on the road now between the cabin/hotel and the trail and occasionally to dinner after a day on the trail. I haul it from home to wherever we are going. It is still capable of road driving, but I don't want to take a chance on getting a ticket because of not having the...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Changed the passenger front soft brake hose. It would pull to the driver side when softly hitting the brakes, but brake straight when hard on them. I changed the caliper and it didn't help, even to the point last weekend of almost locking the front passenger side. Changed the hose and it seems...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    It would be a great spot to mount a GoPro. I've got my phone mounted to the Bulletpoint on top of the dash.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Yes, it is a 1" ball mount. It will work with RAM or the Bulletpoint 1" to 20mm mounts.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Installed my CMM grab handles. Got tired of the wife and kids complaining about getting in a stock height JK with 33's🤦‍♂️

    What did you do to your JK today?

    3.6? Probably either a bad oil cooler if it's original or the temp sensor. They are also known for damaged wiring under the oil cooler. Honestly, I'd replace it all if you're going to have the intake out already.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Got the Bestop Trektop on in place of the hard top. It's an older top that my brother had. It should be fun to see if it has any leaks tomorrow at the car wash. If it does, I'll get the replacement top, sides, and back from Bestop retop.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Changed the thermostat out since the original one was stuck closed. That is the easiest thermostat change I've ever done on a vehicle.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    I called at least 20 dealerships today and everyone told me they are showing 5/20 as an estimated ship date, but that it's been pushed back weekly for the last 3ish months. One dealer even said they had a handful of JK's & JL's setting waiting for them. I usually will snatch up NOS Mopar parts...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Bought the only Mopar thermostat in 3 states around me, from a dealer 3 hours away. Was told at several dealers that they have been on backorder for 3-4 months and no end in sight. Mine decided to fail closed yesterday.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Swapped the factory speakers for a Kicker set up from Bantam Overland. These are a massive improvement over the OEM infinity, even with the factory amp. Granted, I have a radio with an excellent equalizer in it. The fronts are a mid-bass with tweeter and the rears are full range. They really...

    Lost some more weight today. I would never use the hitch, so off it came.

    Should I replace the CV axles?

    That is about right. That is a shop charging $150 for a full days worth of work.

    Soft top downsides?

    It really depends on what you are doing with the JK. A lot of people who off-road theirs will switch to a soft top because of the ease of getting it off and they are easier to replace IF they damage it on the trail. On my TJ, I took the hardtop off for a soft top for these reasons. Also, living...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Installed the Hot Heads headliner and their sound deadening strips. The install was very easy. It only took me about an hour by myself from start to finish. Going to be interesting to see over the next couple of days how much improvement there is. I've got about 3-4 weeks before I pull the hard...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Installed the DV8 door pockets inplace of the cheap Amazon ones. These are much sturdier and mount much better. Now I need to find a good holster for my pew pew that will mount to the molle panel. Also installed a flashlight mount to my seat. It was must laying beside the e-brake handle...

    Never had this Jeep off road. I'll keep a watch on it. I don't think changing the oil pump would be hard, just time consuming.
