    Gasket or gasket maker for transmission pan on 2008 JK?

    Sold, I'm going to order the Locker gasket and be done with it. Thanks everyone for pointing the pros for using a gasket.

    Gasket or gasket maker for transmission pan on 2008 JK?

    I am getting ready to change the filter in the auto trans of my '08 Sahara and have been looking over what I need and how to go about doing it. I have the tools, no problem there, however, I'm seeing two different methods on how to reinstall the pan. Some show the use of a gasket when...

    Phone holder

    Very nice, I like that one also, just not a fit for my '08.

    Phone holder

    I have been looking for a phone holder that I didn't have to put in and take out. Something that would not fall off or come loose. I came across one that bolts behind the grab bar on the passengers side. It fits well, very solid. So far it fits the bill...

    Adding back-up camera and Bluetooth through mirror

    My first reflex when backing up is to look into the rear view mirror, so your are right, it does feel quiet natural to have the backup camera display there.

    Adding back-up camera and Bluetooth through mirror

    Yep, it quick, easy, affordable, and does not change the stock interior look and existing functions of the your stereo.

    Post-inspection: Should I buy this second-hand Wrangler?

    Pick up a kit for checking hydrocarbons in the coolant at a local auto parts store, it will give clear indication if you have a head gasket issue causing overheating. If that comes out negative, then it may just have been a thermostat as mentioned by Anybodyhome with no long term issues...

    Adding back-up camera and Bluetooth through mirror

    Backup camera installed. The mirror has two video inputs for both front and rear cameras, the rear camera is marked "camera", front is marked "video". The power for the camera is from the drivers side backup light, gray/white, and black wire ground. Everything is working as expected, video...

    Adding back-up camera and Bluetooth through mirror

    I have the Mirror installed, however, I am waiting on the backup camera to be delivered later today. So for the bluetooth works well, my phone was easy to connect. I tapped into the 12v power plug under the heater controls (blue/white wire) to power the bluethooth portion of the mirror. For...

    Adding back-up camera and Bluetooth through mirror

    So I wanted to add a backup camera and bluetooth to my '08 JK and was not really looking to replace the stock head unit. Not knowing of any other way except for the possibility of a separate display on the dash, which again not really interested in that option either. I started to do some...

    9 months in storage (is there anything I can do differently next time?)

    This is good to know. I have not stored any type of vehicle for this length of time so this is all new to me. As with most things reading the instructions and in the case application amount would be critical.

    9 months in storage (is there anything I can do differently next time?)

    Thank you for the feedback, I will have to look at it a little closer. Just trying to get the best product for the job. If StarTron does a better job of keeping gas fresh over the long haul I may give it a try.

    9 months in storage (is there anything I can do differently next time?)

    Yeah, fuel stabilizer was the only thing I did not do. It is now going to be one of those key items to be done prior to putting my JK in storage. Even during good time (pre-Covid), the Jeep would still sit for close to 7 months. I have also been looking at Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment, it...

    9 months in storage (is there anything I can do differently next time?)

    That sounds good to me. There could of been some condensation in the tank due to the heat and humidity in my garage over the summer. I'm located about 30 minutes west of Tampa in Largo Fl. So yeah, it's gets really hot here in the summer that's why I head to the Northeast then.

    Okay, now I am aware of someone who uses Sta-bil. Now I will definitely have to give it a try. :)

    9 months in storage (is there anything I can do differently next time?)

    Nope, I did not add any fuel stabilizer, sounds like something I should put on the list. I have heard both plus and minuses for fuel stabilizers. Some folk swear by Sea Foam, others say it's useless. As for Sta-Bil, only know of it from commercials, have not known anyone who has used it. I...

    9 months in storage (is there anything I can do differently next time?)

    That was a very informative article, I was close to doing all that was suggested just not putting the Jeep on jack stands, so far no problem with flat spots on the tires.

    9 months in storage (is there anything I can do differently next time?)

    No, I suspect it is very hot during the summer and possibly humid. I'm starting to think that it took some time for the fuel pump to build pressure causing the hard start situation. Even with that it my not have been a bad thing, giving the engine some time to get the oil pushed up and around...
