Your manifolds may have a design different than stock. Those - often called “exhaust donuts” are typically used on those manifolds with straight output collars. They would go between the manifold output and your downpipe.

You could easily use a 3/4" or 1" spacer to give it a bump in ride height. More importantly however, are you happy with the ride when fully loaded? You may want to consider getting a spring with a higher spring rate if you're constantly riding when fully loaded and especially so if you're often...

Crayons are too 😂

Do you have a photos of the gaskets? From the factory, on a 3.8L, there are only gaskets between the block and the exhaust manifold. All other connection points are either ball-and-socket style (like between the exhaust manifolds and downpipe/cats) or slip-joints like the pipes to mufflers or...

Spending a few days in LSD (Lower, Slower Delaware), so per my normal MO, I scoured the local Marketplace listings before I left. I found a set of super nice (albeit very dusty!) Bestop soft half doors for a killer price. The frames are in perfect condition and with a decent scrub, these will...

"build thread, build thread, build thread, build thre..." Okay you get the point - you should make a dedicated build thread for this beast to document what you do and some trail rides :) #makebuildthreadsgreatagain

That's a little surprising to hear, I would have guessed quite a discount compared to something similar in 2023... Around here, JKUs are ~30% below of what they were in 2023 (I know this intimately, since that's when we started looking at one for my daughter). Even more, "big JKU builds" and...

Sweet rig! Big Jeeps seem to be on a discount as of late. Even V8 swapped rigs are being had for nickels compared to what they were just a few years ago… good for buyers, not so much sellers, but hey, that’s life!

I have JScan and 2 fresh quarts of DOT 4, only takes 10 minutes… I’ll just need the battery box back in place first.

I'm still waiting on some parts before I can drop the engine and trans in place, so I'm working on what I can. In preparation for the Motobilt Rear Gas Tank, I went through the installation instructions from their website. I haven't ordered the tank yet, simply because I don't want to be...

We certainly could, though at the moment, the single member LLC offers the best "bang for the buck" thanks to PA being very LLC friendly. We are looking at getting into some real estate investments (residential and commercial), so that would be something of potential in the future. That said, I...

Given the age and my experience, it's very possibly a small leak at the top of the tank (the seal under the fuel pump sender), a cracked emissions hose at/near the EVAP canister, or a possibly, a failed purge valve. These usually throw a CEL though as it should be doing the EVAP tests under...

Agreed... it would be awesome! My property is in blue, the one we want to buy and add to it is in orange. My driveway sucks (very steep!). Long term, I would convert the front half of the garage into a first level office (it's currently upstairs above garage), and keep the back half as a...

I already have an LLC for my side business (I’m a fairly busy photographer), though it would be way cheaper in the long run to put that parcel on my personal property deed. My issue is still that the property owner won’t sell the plot… his hold up is that he doesn’t want to go through the...

I have a decently modest garage but would go absolutely insane for a proper shop... I keep trying to buy the 0.73 acre lot next to us but the owner simply won't sell it. It would absolutely turn into a 0.53 acre mini-farm, with a 0.20 acre shop smack in the middle :) This reminds me of one of...

I don't think it's so much the $$ saved vs $$ spent, since I think (based on comments in this thread and a few related ones), shops are charging $1100-2500 to regear nowadays. You'll spend ~$600 for a decent 12T press, bearing puller, dial indicator, and some other small stuff you may or may not...

Fixed it for you! lol

How did they balance? The reports seem to be that they *can* be problematic, similar to the KO2s, and have convinced some people to stay away from them. I'm still leaning towards getting a set of their 39"s KO3's as my winter set of tires when the time comes...

A lot of gear companies used to get their forgings from “Circle K”, but even then they were responsible for matching, finish work, etc. Nowadays, it seems to be a crapshoot (thanks Covid!)… The last two sets from Yukon I got were either from India or Pakistan, and looked nothing like they used...

I wonder how hard they’d be to setup for a JK not originally equipped with LED’s…
