Took my wife's 2008 JK 2-door in to get inspected after registering, and it failed spectacularly. It passed last year, but this time; bad drive shaft u joint upper steering knuckle play bad u-joint on front right axle leaking transmission cooler lines leaking rear main seal leaking...

JA mouse ate part of the passenger side quarter light window zipper, which is making it hard to go from top to topless and it's summer! It's a Bestop Supertop in black twill. phone calls and emails to Bestop have gone unanswered. Does anyone have a source for the replacement zipper? I will...

Got our soft top out for the season yesterday. A mouse got into the bundle over the winter and ate a couple of millimeters out of the middle of one of the side window zippers. Not on the window, which I could replace - but on the top. Other than sending the whole thing back to Bestop for...

the orange circular running/parking light on the right front fender stopped working. I replaced the bulb. I checked the continuity in the wire between the connector and the bulb. I replaced the turn indicator/parking light bulb that is in under the headlight. Fuse is good. What else could...

I installed these small LED lights from Amazon and rigged them up on a manual switch under the hood so that I can turn them on if I need to see better under the hood when it's dark out. Surprisingly bright.

I am trying to wire up some H4 headlights for the wife's jeep. I am putting in sealed beam halogens and have put together a wiring harness that runs from the battery through a set of relays, and uses the original passenger side headlamp socket connections as the trigger. My wife did not like...

2008 JK 3.8 2 door. my wife was headed home tonight from school - check engine light came on, running rough. checked oil - low about a quart. also topped up coolant. transmission oil level was full. I have a JScan and plan to check for codes in the morning. I also have plugs and wires...

My wife's 2008 JK 2 door has a leaking hard top - mostly from the in the middle-rear of the freedom panels. I bought a kit with all the weatherstripping pieces and installed it - many of the originals were missing. I also cleaned all the seals on the hard top itself. I think I put the kit...

Wife has a 2008 JK with a hard top that I put back on this weekend - it's 70 degrees today, but winter is coming. We noticed that the soft top, which is black on the inside and outside, was a more comfortable driving experience than the hard top with the bright white interior. It may brighten...

have been painting my house, but finally got back to doing a little something with the Jeep. It was too hot to paint on Saturday (100* in New Hampshire is damn hot for us folks up here), so I pulled the wife's jeep into the garage and changed the oil for the first time since owning it. pretty...

2008 JK 2 door - 3.8L - 155K wife reports 2X now that she smells "a rubber burning smell" when she is driving. first time I opened up hood and did not really smell anything, though my nose is not as good as hers, and the jeep had not been overheating or anything. Brakes seem fine, not pulling...

i recently installed Sunpie LED halos - they work awesome, nothing wrong with them...except that my wife thinks they look too modern and wants the "classic" headlight look back. OK - back to the drawing board. I am now going to have to go back to making a new lighting harness powered from the...

I just changed the coolant that came in my jeep (orange, that is all I know) and replaced with Zerex G-05. I drained, filled with distilled water, run engine, drain, repeat - five times. I was only able to add about 7/8 gallon of water each time, and the fluid that drained got lighter and...

I don't have the pad under the hood of my 2008 JK. I also don't have the underhood utility light. Anyone else have them? was the pad supposed to be there or is it optional? worth it? what light do you have - LED? incandescent? Was the MOPAR one incandescent? best aftermarket option...

the belt chirps. Squeals if I spray a little belt conditioner on it. I am guessing time for new tensioner pulley. But, look at middle pulley in photo. Belt overhangs outboard edge by about 1/32”. Pulley misaligned?

Trying to drain rad o 2008 JK. Turned the petcock and it won’t drain. Now I can’t even tell which way is closed. You’d expect closed to be with the lever horizontal but I think closed might be vertical? Do you have to turn and pull? How to fix if clogged? Thx.

Have some quarantine-time and want to tune up my wife's new-to-us 2008 Jeep Wrangler JK 2-door. Nothing really wrong, just want to go through it to make sure everything is OK. For all I know, all of this service was done by the PO and I will be wasting my time and money. I just got it...

If anyone has replaced their OEM carpet and still has the back middle piece (the floor area of rear carpet, not the wheel wells), mine is missing/cut up, and I'd like just that piece. 2008 2 door JK - black. Thanks! I am in NH

While I have some time to spend on the Jeep over this weird time in everyone's lives, I am hoping to work on the lighting issues. Yes, the stock units are very dim. But though I have read a bunch of posts, I still haven't definitively answered this - can you put H4 bulbs into the stock...
