    Changed the oil & filter this evening . Noticed dent in filter when I removed . Not sure if oil filter wrench caused it? Mechanic put on to tight when I had head gaskets changed etc . Or if a dented filter was put on at shop ? Hope not . Either way got a really good Fram Ultra Synthetic...

    Carobotor vs Stinger

    Carobotor vs Stinger

    Which unit do you have ? In doing some research I found some Boss units overall have positive reviews where others not so much . So for whatever reason some units fair better than others . The head units I’ve been considering are all under $500 CDN. Double Din, Apple Car Play , non CD ...

    Overheating on 2015 JKU

    I went with an aluminum Cold Case rad about a year ish ago . Started leaking after 2nd off road trip. @Cimmerian was bang on when he said they don’t flex as well . The aluminum with plastic tanks are more forgiving due to ORing sealing the the tank to rad . It allows some flex . The aluminum...

    Thanks for the pics . Often don’t get to see damage done . 5K USD would be $6900 CDN today . Ouch Thankfully the service warranty worked out . Power & Torque aside that would be a down side of the 3.6 double over head cam compared to the simpler designed 3.8. Long term price of...

    Well mmmmmm. You’ve replaced thermostat & pump . You can smell coolant . Coolant test negative . You mentioned possible leaking rad ? @BLACKJKU suggesting locking Torque Converter possibly heating things up. Man this is a tough one . Part of me still thinking head gasket issue even...

    Overheating on 2015 JKU

    Everything @BLACKJKU has mentioned is spot on . Just went threw this with my 2008 Sahara . It went on for awhile . When engine pushed on the hwy it would start to fill up reservoir. Once enough fluid has been pushed into reservoir it starts to over heat . My Jeep was fine in the city . It was...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Thanks for posting pics . Was wondering in the past how body lines would look compared to bumpers with a body lift . At the back you can see where the bumper relief is in the body but looks normal Turned out really good . Is it just the 3 main bolts between wheels on each side that have...

    Roof rack on a soft top?

    I’ve never seen a setup like that either . Maybe they rigged up a metal frame support structure on the inside . If they want top down just take off the rack and leave it at home . But I imagine there still must be some holes in the top to secure it making rainy days kinda wet on the inside .

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Glad it’s all working out @Danarch without you having to give up any vital organs . I recall if one oil change is missed or goes way long between changes can void the entire power train extended warranty . It’s their way out . As they know people often don’t change oil regularily. So it’s...
