    Thoughts about Gladiator towing capacity

    This year we bought an A-Frame pop up trailer to tow behind the JK or LJR. Recently been toying with the idea of getting an older truck to tow it instead. Nether the JK or LJR has a ton of power, one reason @Dirty Dog got the 392. No desire to get a Gladiator, one that isn’t an older truck...

    B1B02 is this due to clockspring?

    Does anyone know if code B1B02 indicates a bad clockspring? All the code description states is “driver open circuit”. I know there is an extended warranty on the clockspring. Problem is I made an appointment at the dealer to have it looked at. My wife takes it in the next thing I know she...

    2015 OEM 4-pin to 7-pin tow connector

    Going to admit upfront, I am being lazy. The wife’s 2015 JKU has the Jeep OEM Tow Package, 3.73 gears. It has a 4 pin connector, does anyone know what is involved to switch it to a 7 pin connector? Do I need to find a place to tap into power for the battery port? Will all the wires...

    Exhaust cross member heat shield

    Replacing my son’s catalytic converters. The existing system has a heat shield on the cross member. The new one does not and comes in two pieces and joins up at the Y into the exhaust pipe to the muffler, so certainly need to install it all then have the heat shield welded on. Do any of you...

    Catalytic convertor replacement on 07 3.8

    My son has 07, 3.8L and finally ordered replacement cat’s. The parts go from the exhaust manifold to the about mid point back. From what I can tell the system simply bolts up to the exhaust manifold. On other vehicles they have had some sort of “gasket ring” where the exhaust mounts to the...

    JKU seats: what years fit?

    The front seats in my son’s 2007 Sahara JKU need to be replaced, they don’t slide nor does the back adjust. Does anyone know if the seats are the same from 2007 through 2018 for JKU’s? I am looking for replacements and need to know if I need to limit my search to specific years. I believe...

    Parie City SVOP

    We went out to Parie City SVOP for some wheeling. First time the 16 year really got a chance to try a few things and learn. Dad did a lot walking. Let the wife do a few more difficult obstacles but was busy moving rocks and spotting.

    CataClean

    So my son has a 2007 JKU, 3.8L, I think around 60,000 miles. A little over a year ago CEL came on. Based on the codes I told him it might be a O2 sensor and we could look at it. He endedup taking it down to a mechanic we use, they got the light off but said the cat’s are bad and needed to be...

    Switch at hood, anyone have one of these?

    So the wife’s JK (2015) has this switch at the drivers side hood area. My JK same year does not have one, neither does my son’s 2007, nor do I think my daughters 2017. The bracket says PCM and TIPM, the switch is at the TIMP slot. No i haven’t tried tracing the wires, guess I should do...

    Transfer case shifting linkage bushing upgrade

    I know a lot of people have had issues with the plastic bushing breaking and wanting an upgrade. Highly recommend this part from Novak. My son replaced the bushing at the shifter location, still need to crawl underneath and do the one at the TC, but it’s the same part. You can see in the...

    Anyone else have the interior lock trim break?

    A couple of months ago I stop at the store to pick up a few things and come back out to the Jeep, open the door, hop inside and see the door bezel trim is broken out of the door panel. I think ”that is odd, someone try and break into the Jeep with a hanger or something. But I don’t see any...

    Is Bosch OEM for Ignition coils

    Did a little checking and couldn’t find the answer. Does anyone know if Bosch is OEM for ignition coils? Had some warranty work done and since her jeep just hot a 100K had them change the plugs and coils while apart. Plugs are NGK so that seems fine. The mopar has a different part number...

    Does anyone use a Boss radio in their Jeep?

    Look at replacing the factory 730N radio. The Jeep has the Alpine with subwoofer speaker system. System for sound is fine to me, but the radio is acting up and does odd things. Crutchfield seems to have a fair amount of “Boss” radios at a decent price, but I don’t know much about them. Do...

    To switch to a soft top from hard top

    For those that saw my post, four-wheeling this weekend I busted the rear window and damaged the hard top. I am considering getting soft-top instead of replacing it with a hard top (if not covered by insurance most likely will get a soft top). I like the idea of being able to just retract the...
