    What did you do to your JK today?

    Did some googling after reading your initial post . Brake , back up etc lighting . Great idea . Was wondering if available with just white lighting cause would be perfect for extra back up and perimeter lighting when wheeling at night or for around camp . Doesn’t look like that’s available ...

    Jeep sputters and shakes between 30-45 mph

    That’s a good question . Before I got mine done seen comments on a couple diff forums stating that a flush can cause blockages etc . The comments were never first hand experience but did give me a moment of pause . Went to a couple legit Trans shops here and asked that very question ...

    Jeep sputters and shakes between 30-45 mph

    Do you find when close to 1200 RPM, step on gas to switch to lower gear it goes away ? Next time you take it out . While driving at the problem speed & RPM manually put in in 2nd . If it goes away than it’s the same problem I & many others had . I got trans fluid flushed and filter...

    I’ll be doing my front hub / bearing next week. To replace axle universal joints you have to remove everything including hubs . You will have to remove axles as well. Here is a link showing how to Since you have hubs off would be a good idea to replace if haven’t been done in a long time

    Transmission fluid check

    The 42RLE trans doesn’t come from factory with a drain plug. Don’t think most auto transmissions come with a drain plug. So most crack a corner of pan seal to drain bulk of fluid . OP. The fluid capacity of the transmission is 8.8 quarts or 8.3 Litres. It’s a much better idea as @Dirtydog...

    Transmission fluid check

    Yes , I would suggest to do both. It takes 2 US quarts. Just fill till starts seeping out fill hole. There is no dipstick or pan on the transfer case . It is a separate component behind the transmission . It’s what allows you to use 4WD. To access drain plug just unbolt 4 screws that...

    Rear Suspension Bushings

    If you do go poly route it will firm up the ride . Some Jeepers don’t like poly as it firms up to much . When I switched from Core “poly bushing” to Steer Smarts Yeti “rubber bushing “ trackbar ride smoothed out in a good way . Def as a couple other members mentioned possibly need a press ...

    Battery replacement

    Think it’s wise to always be prepared for a possible breakdown . We can practice all the preventative maintenance in the world but shit does break or stop working with zero warning on occasion . That said chances are better you can drive out of trail rather than hike if aging components are...

    Transmission fluid check

    Since you’ll be underneath . I’m guessing transfer case fluid hasn’t been done ? That’s a pretty easy , quick job . It also uses ATF +4. TC has a drain plug . It also has a fill plug . Just fill till it starts creeping back out of fill hole .
