    What did you do to your JK today?

    I don’t really need a spare. I’ve gone five years without needing to use a spare. It’s in a storage unit and I’m not worried. I don’t put my Jeep in situations where I’d need to replace a tire. Five years of data point to my low probobility of requiring a change of tire Plus I’m in my late...

    Factory shocks replacement

    This is a short term fix. I’m considering doing a 2.5 lift some time in the future but need to smooth out the ride now. I presume the OEM shocks are not the first choice but I will ask the forum about that assumption. So far, my research has pointed to the Rancho 9200 adjustable shock. Any...

    ... and be retired too! (y) Indeed, Chief blue is a very popular color (we constantly get comments), it has only been available in the 2017/18 Wrangler ... hasn’t been available since or for years before. Jeep also made a 2018 Chief edition which was the same blue and had a white solid roof...
