    2008 JKU "Argenta" Build Thread (plus an Islander side project)

    That's a sweet one! My son, much like me (and totally independently, as his fascination with turbo AWD cars is somewhat new) loves everything about the 2004-05 STI S10 WRC: Those are hard years to find in decent shape, and especially at a price I'm willing to spend on a 16 year old's first...

    2008 JKU "Argenta" Build Thread (plus an Islander side project)

    Well - I fuc%ed up... I stumbled across JCR's "Project Crusader" and then Offroad Power Products "Ultimate JK Build", and now I want to build a 2-door JK with a Jeepworks JKL kit next (well, next-next... my son is heart set on doing a STI/WRC replica project for him next) :ROFLMAO: On an...

    Flow valve to canister hose discontinued

    Glad you got it fixed, though admittedly that seems like a lot of work when a rubber hose, brass “T”, and a couple hose clamps would have done the same (and is what many who relocate their EVAP do anyway).

    Oil change and new ticking

    I would love a body-on-frame FSJ replacement... Wrangler-inspired capabilities, Ram 1500 cabin size, V8 powered, smaller than the new Grand Wagoneer (maybe close to Durango sized but with better dimensions for off-roading).

    Electrical connector that dropped down from under dashboard

    There's no way to be certain without tracing it back to where it goes. It could be a multitude of things: GPS-enabled vehicle monitor, aftermarket gauge/readout (like ScanGauge II), or even an aftermarket radio interface. The plug does look a lot like the iDatalink connector, so that would be...

    Flow valve to canister hose discontinued

    There does not appear to be a electrical port in the hose # you provided. I have a 2008 and have mine torn all apart right now and it looks similar. I believe that Chris is right in that you should be able to just use some cut to fit hose here. You may need to get a brass "T" and use that...

    JKU Hemi Swap - Reference Guide & Swap Info

    A/C Compressor Fitment As discussed in one of the earlier "info" posts, there are differences in the water pump and accessory length, which itself is dependent on what timing cover is used. Truck timing covers are different from LX timing covers. Adding further complexity to the mix, is the...

    JKU Hemi Swap - Reference Guide & Swap Info

    Update to PSC Motorsports High Flow Pump Install Got the PSC bracket (MB392K) in today and it seems like it will work: The bracket comes with Allen bolts to secure to the block, and then two hex-head bolts to secure the pump. One of the bolts is actually longer, and is meant to go through the...

    2008 JKU "Argenta" Build Thread (plus an Islander side project)

    After what feels like a month, my KBD flares showed up! I took an hour or two before making dinner to get them installed. Yesterday was one of the coldest of the season so far, so when I saw that they got delivered, I threw them in the garage next to the heater. This certainly helped with the...

    2008 JKU "Argenta" Build Thread (plus an Islander side project)

    Prepping for my front locker and future accessories, I figured that while half the engine bay is apart and since I'll need to run new battery cables in the near future, it makes sense to start thinking about wiring. Truth be told, I have already started working on wiring, but ran into a few...

    Is my tie rod and drag link bad

    Rotation is normal, but those look looser than normal, which likely means they've reached the end of their service life.

    2008 JKU "Argenta" Build Thread (plus an Islander side project)

    I'm generally in agreement - but I saw this one and really liked the shape/style (the GC versions are slightly different than the car styles)... then the fact that it says "JEEP" on it sold me. With a little silver touch-up paint on the "HEMI" raised sections and then some engine detailer, it...

    2008 JKU "Argenta" Build Thread (plus an Islander side project)

    Had to do an unexpected 5 hour round trip to pick up my daughter 4 days earlier than expected (her finals were mostly cancelled or exempted, and she now only has one to do online), but I was able to meet up with a lady selling this… This fits nicely and will help with the “look like it came...

    Magnuson Supercharger Tune Issue On 2015 JKU

    This would be a good call, especially if there is a custom tune to support the supercharger. I can't say for certain since I don't have much experience with this side of things, but it sounds like something to do with the torque management may be having an issue, potentially tied to some...

    Hello From Phoenix, AZ

    Ol' Bleu was a good rig - I certainly miss the simplicity at times. And same here - the YJ was the first Jeep I thought was cool. When I lived in NY as a kid, I recall, vividly, seeing one for the first time where a guy basically drove off the highway and only the beach dunes (back when you...

    2008 JKU "Argenta" Build Thread (plus an Islander side project)

    I'm waiting for tons of parts to show up, so I'm trying to find things to keep me busy... I'll need to clearance the firewall to allow me to use the steering shaft pillow bearing relocation bracket, which would be easier with the booster out of the way. Since I need to update the master and...

    Hello From Phoenix, AZ

    Welcome and nice find! I'm back on the east coast, but spent 16 years in the East Valley. Although I'm happy to enjoy my summers and have seasons again, I do miss wheeling in the desert. There are lots of fun trails and lots of places to explore. If you snoop around on the TJ Forum and various...
