    Question on Next Improvement

    I would say it really depends on how you want to use your Jeep. You don't say what model you have or if you have a lift or plan on lifting it. For someone just getting back into it, I would say diff skids, lower control arm skids, & an upgraded gas tank skid plate would all be good for basic...

    Suspension Recommendations

    Yeah, I have the AEV 2.5 and I have their front bumper w/a warn winch and the rear bumper & tire carrier. As outfitted, it was a lot smoother than the stock 2dr I had with Rubi springs. I new set of shocks may help, but I agree the suspension seems to like a little heft on the 2dr.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Okay, not necessarily done to my jk, but I use it with my JK and it's jk-adjacent, 😁 Scored a set of Moab hikers. Friend of my daughter works for Wolverine World Wide and gets these not-for-resale samples. She saw these and thought of our family. I got to them before my son did 😂. I've had...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    I have to add, mine had the AEV 2.5" lift when I got the jeep at 22k miles. At 98k miles, here's my observation. It's got 3.73 gears &35s ‐ regear highly recommended but elevation and terrain play a big part... i plan on doing it, just hasnt been a priority. I'm done doing really technical...

    Recirculation door 2014 JKU

    Oh man. I just did some searching and found that the baffle is part of the housing (2014-2018) 68232367AA and it's not cheap. I'm seeing $659 online. I would suggest using car-parts.com and going used or attempting a repair. Looks like a pain to replace, too. Good luck.

    Freedom top seals or leak fix

    Sometimes replacing seals, sometimes just cleaning things really well. I searched the resources area and didn't find it, but I've attached the "Jeep Wrangler Diagnosis & Repair Manual - Water Leaks" pdf that I got some years ago off the web. I've battled leaks on some of my JK's and others have...

    Torque Pro users

    I have a 2016 with the factory evic that shows individual tire pressure. I think that's the requirement, but if you can see TPMS data in jscan, it seems you would be able to display it in torque. All I can say is the values above are what I used in my torque app and it does work on mine.

    Mishimoto or Dorman oil cooler?

    I don't recall how much coolant loss was involved. I usually use vice-grip hose clamps to minimize loss. 50/50 is more convenient but concentrated coolant is cheaper (just use distilled water to mix). For spark plugs and sensors, I go with oem. Just because the plugs are such a pain to get to...

    LED low beam headlights too bright for oncoming traffic

    Some inexpensive led headlights just don't have a a good pattern. Even aimed properly, they can produce a lot of glare. Also if the light is colder (more on the blue side), our eyes will perceive them as brighter, even if they aren't. Personally, I wish Cibie still made the halogen headlight...

    Is this the correct coolant?

    Last time I replaced a radiator, I got the best price for coolant on Amazon. The 50/50 mix costs more, but it's nice not to not have to deal with mixing. I would also consider getting this as it makes burping the system almost fool-proof.

    Android radio users; what apps do you find useful or necessary?

    At the end of the day, it's as functional as your phone is/as functional as you want it to be. I use my phone as a hotspot to stream spotify/iheart, maps, etc. I like having the ability to bring up web info (parked only, thankyouverymuch) for destinations - especially when out of my home area...

    Android radio users; what apps do you find useful or necessary?

    I've had an android head unit of one type or another for about 8 years now. The whole point of getting full android was to use any app I wanted, not just the ones available via car play/android auto. I eventually settled on a custom rom which got rid of the ability to have Android Auto (I'm an...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Her recirculating door (accordion like baffle) was clicking loudly. Searching YouTube will get some hits on what it sounds like.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Replaced the passenger side recirculation actuator on the daughters '12 JK. #@$&@%! What a HUGE pita. Doable, but criminy. I could've used a flex joint in my forearm and an extra eye in one of my fingers. Maybe a ratcheting 7mm fingertip, too.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Put the hardtop and full doors back on & stored the soft top & half doors. Sigh.

    Stinger HEIGH10 Issues

    I don't have that android head unit, but if I were you, I'd get a refund from TW and go somewhere else (if you can't do it yourself). Once is a fluke, twice though?
