    License plate light not working after LED pulled

    07 JKU: Last night we took the kids for a ride (doors & top off). Out of the corner of my eye, I see flickering, which ended up being the licence plate LED bulb (cheap Amazon one my friend gave me. When I pulled into the garage, i fiddled with it. Stopped flickering for a second, but started...

    Yukon gears: increase viscosity when towing?

    Greetings all! I just had a thought and I emailed Yukon gears for their thoughts. I didn't get a straight answer. I had 4.56 Yukon gears installed about 8 months ago. We bought a 1400lb/1700lb loaded pop up camper that I've hauled twice since we bought it. These 4.56 gears pull awesome w/...

    2017 gear shift lever on 2007

    Feel the difference! May want to try this if you don't want to spend $700 on a B&M short shifter. So, I went into the Jeep dealership to get a PCV valve for my 2007 JKU. The local/well-known to the local Jeep community parts guy helped me. He used to have a 2010 JK manual and we got to talking...

    Front crank seal? Easy mechanic job?

    First: I love my mechanic. He's been doing a good job and treating me well as hell for 15yrs. I even consider the proximity of his shop when I look at a future house to buy. He's been around for at least 25 yrs, with another friend going to him for that long. But, he said he hasn't done a front...

    Front crankshaft seal brand

    Going to replace the front crank seal in my 07 JKU/3.8. Has anyone used this Felpro 46194 for their front crank seal replacement? I've used Felpro in an intake and oil pan on a different vehicle with good luck, but wanted to make sure this was a good brand for our Jeeps. It's on the...

    Ninja Grille?

    Just browsing thru the local classifieds and saw this 2015 or 16 Wrangler listed by the local Porsche dealership. I don't want to be mean, because to each his own... But it's at a dealership - so, game on. NEVER SEEN THIS KIND OF GRILL BEFORE - this takes the Angry Eye grills to another level...

    Shafer Trail, Moab - gotta try if you haven't

    If you haven't done Shafer Trail in Moab, UT - it's a must. Did a family trip w/the little ones and this trail was just right (couple of hours w/ a stop for lunch). The YouTube videos don't do it any justice. They say you can do it in a regular SUV, but without 4lo to slow you down some...

    4.56 too much for 3.8 and manual?

    Hi all! I've searched on here and Googled what I'm looking for. Maybe no one has shared. Found a guy with my same question 10 yrs ago on a JK forum and he never posted his results. My Jeep: '07, 6speed manual, 3.8 w/ 285/70r17's (just under 33"). I just put a deposit down and waiting in...

    Toquerville Falls Trail in Southern Utah

    If you're ever in the area in Southern Utah and about 1.5 hrs from Las Vegas: Toquerville Falls (trail). Rated moderate to difficult (your choice) and you can get to the waterfalls either way. It's a decent climb and the views are badass... you can even see the back end of the Grand Canyon from...

    Do you have a faded or dirty soft top? (Not an ad)

    I ended up buying a soft top last year, just because I wanted the tinted side windows for my soft top. I didn't think I needed it, but got a small tear in my soft top a couple of weeks ago and thought I'd swap it out. This new/used soft top was from an 09 and was used only a couple of times...

    Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada

    If anyone is in Vegas, NV or St. George, UT, it may be worth taking a trip 45 min north from Vegas or an hour south of St. George and head to the Moapa Valley/Logandale area to Valley of Fire State Park. We went on a whim today from St. George, due to rare shitty weather. We got lucky. There...

    Newbie, lessons learned on a road trip with the 3.8 with 6-speed manual and soft top

    Just completed a 300 mile (each way trip) with my '07 JKU X with the 3.8l, 6 speed and soft top. Here are the lessons learned if you were like me and studied the Wranglers before you bought or just bought yours. Bought my JKU with 118,500 mi used as a 3rd vehicle to putt around on weekends...

    08 Unlimited X with Rubicon axles

    Hi! Searched some Jeep forums, as I'm preparing to buy a JKU (if I can find a decent one or they don't sell so fast), I like this forum the best so far. I'm going to look at an 08 Unlimited X that's clean and the owner has put Rubicon axles in it and a manual anti-sway bar disconnect with...
