If you wait long enough on the : Bleed ABS and brakes again (since the J8 install), they may self bleed (unless abs was evacked). Twice now (on two builds) I have been lucky or at least surprised to find no air in the system. To be fair, I did remove the abs on my 2000 TJ. The other was a '72 CJ5

Buy it under your name and rent it to your company. That way it is not tied to anything on the company side. BIG or full right off there. Use that LLC to your advantage. Even better is to incorporate, this would provide the corporate shield or veil. Love the plans! I will be stuck with a simple...

I had an address just in case. but they did not need it. For insurance I gave them an address in Williams that the vehicle would be "stored" at. All paperwork from both insurance and DMV were sent to my home address in kali.

That looks like a chat gpt response. I use gpt, but always double check with a known source. Often gpt will confuse years and other details. Actually, it always gets something wrong on this type of stuff. Re ask and tell it to focus on the years you need and switch to longer thinking. I bet you...

Smog only if you have it registered in Phoenix. Yes on the insurance. Much cheaper than kali. I do not have a AZ DL. they did not ask for any DL.

Ya, hindsight says the emissions tests were not complete. No one would say it though. Not even the ref. He said I had to drive it to clear some codes and then bring it back for the rest of the checks. He was measuring distances, cross referencing OE specs, etc, it was not going to be fun . I did...

Are these Cerakoted'? I notice the Bronze looks like "burnt bronze" and Titanium is also a Cerakote color.

Seconded on the Jscan. I live in Kali and have not had a problem (yet). I did have a issue on my TJ with some other odd thing that I never did figure out. I went for a normal smog check (it had passed the previous check) and the technician stopped the check mid inspection and asked if I had a...

Agreed. I have used stacked plate coolers for a while now. It is possible that back in 2009, that was what they ran with, but I suspect one of the new owners (there were 4 total, I am #4) had a less than professional shop install it. It was the type that has the push pins that attach it to the...

All of my info is second hand from the previous owner. I had never heard of Ron Davis before this Jeep. The po said the cooling setup was part of the package. I believe it was rebuilt in Phoenix or maybe Gilbert az (2009) The main swap hardware and computer was from hemiswap.com. They are out o...

Those of you with ADHD will understand the joys of a good "side quest". It is a curse! But gets things done. You managed way more room than I thought was possible on the ABS harness. All said, the booster swap is more than worth it.

It had a Ron Davis kit in it. The radiator was from 2009. After it was sold by the original builder (the owner of discount tire) it sat for long periods of time by the ocean. The OE radiator would not be able to cool the Hemi. It is a very expensive system as I found out. The whole kit with...

Right at the start. Grille and old cooler pulled, it was about 12 x 11 inch and sat right in the center of the condenser. I laid a new stacked plate cooler on the bumper to get fit up. I made a couple of mounts to hold off the two new coolers. I welded the bottom mounts and bolted the top...

I tackled a problem I was having with coolant temps running hotter than I like. This has been been plaguing me since I bought the Jeep. I replaced the (Ron Davis $$) radiator due to a hair line crack about a year ago. My hopes of that fixing the problem did not come to fruition!. Next, I thought...

I decide to not touch those fittings, I cut the tube closer to the engine front/oil pan and used a -8an to compression fitting adapter on the tube, far enough away that I can support the hard tubes with a bracket and then route the -8an hose to the front grille area.

I treat my JKU fairly rough. Mostly crawling so cal trails. I did a easy ish trail over new year weekend, it was wet and slick. This week, I intended to install a pair of new trans coolers. Switch from one big fin and tube monstrosity to a pair of smaller stacked plate coolers. I crawled under...

What are the chances my 545rfe has 1/2” npt threads? I see some (what looks like) teflon tape hanging out. Usually, tape is used on taper threads like npt. The tube is confirmed 3/8” tube. OD is 0.0378”. Close enough considering dirt and oxidation

My 545rfe has the same M22/1.5 (metric ??) and the clip to hold the tube in. Do you know if the tube is metric or SAE? I am redoing the trans cooler lines as much as possible. The fin and tube cooler was blocking too much airflow, going with "stacked plate" type. I bought two 13 plate coolers...

do you know if JSS can make copies (backup tcm) of a already working tcm? I like to carry spares when off roading (kidding of course). These JK's have electrical gremlins. Most of my self repairs have been electrical of some sort.

Mine works great. In fact it is a game changer. No issues with mine other than it being a pain to install. I think the install is where most trouble starts, plus the non oe parts. It was my understanding the J8 kit was not really a kit but an option for the military and government JKU's. The...
