    What did you do to your JK today?

    Wow, $700 to $1000 per axle. That shop must have a monopoly in your area. I already have 4.10s in mine but really no desire to swap my D30 to a D44 in the front. The off roading I do just doesn't justify it.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Just ordered a Motive master install set in 5.13 for my (automatic) JK. I'm excited for this thing to finally stop being a pig. What is the average price to get these installed since I'm not doing it myself. I'm guessing around $1000.

    2008 JKU "Argenta" Build Thread (plus a 2010 Islander side project)

    A quick look at listings shows about $4000 for two doors and two tops. Shipping varies to included in price or about $100 per door. I'm assuming these all come unassembled as well. By the way, I was mistaken; I have the Element doors and shells, not the Core...

    2008 JKU "Argenta" Build Thread (plus a 2010 Islander side project)

    eBay is probably going to be your best bet for this. I ended up with Bestop core doors because of sticker shock with the OEMs.

    Transmission cooler upgrade and problem solved

    What did you replace the radiator with? I've always been under the impression anything except OEM is a waste of money because they all break eventually.

    New alternator and power door locks / alarm

    It's apparently a thing. I didn't believe it either when people told me about it but yea, leave your battery disconnected for like 15 minutes to an hour. It apparently does a purge of the electrical system.

    Baseline 4x4

    Yea the 3.8 can do it, it's just slow going. I just engine brake going downhill, honestly. Why destroy my brakes unnecessarily? When I was a kid we lived in the Poconos in Tobyhanna but I can't remember it well enough to describe the driving. I remember my dad sent a few deer to heaven with his...

    Baseline 4x4

    Yeah, I do have the automatic trans. The 3.8 wouldn't be in such ill regard if they had mated a different transmission to it I feel. They don't have grade signs on roads out here but it's very up and down and it can last for many yards and it's almost like a roller coaster. If I want to drive to...

    Baseline 4x4

    I don't do rock crawling, mostly trails and overlanding. My '07 Sahara is factory stock with no lockers, etc D30/44 with 4.10s and it performs fine. I'm also on 285/70/17s. I plan to regear to 5.13s this year but that's only because my Jeep is a dog at the altitude I'm at (over 5,000 ft)...

    Baseline 4x4

    I've gotten all kinds of miscellaneous things from them and never had an issue. Never something as major as axles though.

    BF Goodrich K03

    I don't mind discussing politics as long as it stays civil. I know its a highly emotionally charged topic, especially when it comes to things like ACA and taxes (and how they were going to charge you for NOT registering for ACA). Granted I was still barely an adult when ACA passed so I really...

    They didn't even read it before they passed it. It was a rush job for a feather in Obama's nose bone. I remember my dad's insurance skyrocketed so much after ACA that he couldn't afford it anymore.

    Working out the Bugs

    Make sure you check out all the grounding cables too. I replaced mine this year and the ribbon was barely held together.

    Mounting rack directly to hardtop

    Thank you. I have the RR mirrors too but mine are round. Do yours stay in place?

    What covers are those on your OEM side mirrors on the door?

    Glad you raised her right and she has her priorities in order.
