    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.

    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...

    AEV 2.5” DualSport Review.

    General 4WD Driving Question with automatic tranny

    I’ve always wheeled in a manual, currently have the 6sp. My wife and son each have a auto. The son has the 3.8 with auto, which has D, 1, and 2. It actually has 4.10‘s in it. While he is learning I am thinking the jeep should get better traction then it is with minor rock crawling. Then it...

    FVP AGM Batteries

    Does anyone know about FVP Batteries? I am not sure I’ve heard of them myself. They have them on RockAuto for a good price, 48AGM battery, 140 minutes reserve, 760CCA. While I want a reliable battery at the same time don’t want to spend a fortune on one either. We each carry portable...

    4Low Information

    Feel a little dumb posting this but here it goes. Is there any risk of increased wear and tear, increased temperature on gear oils etc when using 4L for extended periods of time? The reason I ask is I had YJ for about 9 years, four wheeled a fair amount and used 4H and 4L depending on the...

    Any trick to removing 2015 JK Stock Axle

    I’ve the four nuts off, dust cover is loose, diff cover is off. Seems like with a little pressure on the end of the shaft the axle should pop loose / slide out but it is budging and don’t want to ruin anything in the diff. Any thoughts? Doesn’t seem like there is a pin or anything that holds...
