Hi guys, When I purchased my Rubicon about a year ago I noticed that the front was sagged and dipping to the right. So I thought I'll by OME springs like the ones that were already in there and are 2" lift. After installing, it had leveled the car and lifted it slightly, but now only six months...

Hi guys, I have an issue with my front springs touching the bump stops on approaching full compression or when I drive into a pot hole while off roading, it makes a terrible sound like the springs binding up but have found evidence that the right side spring is in fact hitting the bump stop the...

Hi guys, Thinking about up sizing from 33’s to 35’s has anyone done this and what was the difference in your fuel economy? Currently my unlimited rubicon auto with 2” lift and 33’s averages at 12.5ltrs/100 combined driving city and Highway. Thanks in advance Steve

Hi guys, I’ve narrowed my tire brand choice down to 3, since I’m in Australia we’re limited to what we can get😒 Yokohama Geolander M/T 003 or Toyo Open Country M/T or Falken Wildpeak M/T? I noticed that the Yokohama tire is the lightest of the 3, which I guess don’t want anything too heavy...

Do the 35’s hit the inner guard when at full flex?

Thank you very much

Hi guys I’ve got a 2009 unlimited Rubicon bright silver metallic, could anyone please provide me with the paint code for this colour? Thanks in advance

Hi guys, I did search for this but couldn’t find info on it…I want to do a 2.5” lift on my 2009 JK Unlimited Rubicon as my 2” isn’t enough for my 33’s and want to go up to 35’s. 2 questions: Do I need to do anything to the suspension components to take a 2.5” lift? Will the 2.5” lift cater for...

Hi guys, and happy new year! A little while ago I made inquiries about a wired exhaust rattle sound that came on around 2000rpm etc. well I finally got a chance to get under there when I was servicing my auto and started to tap around the exhaust with a rubber mallet to isolate the problem...

Yes, in and out movement. There’s no noise or oil leaks, just odd that it moves like that, unless of course if it’s normal then that’s ok I guess

I wanted to remove mine too but worried about insurance issues if in an accident (here in Oz) but have discussed whether or not sway bars are good or bad for axle articulation. The guy I chatted with reckoned that having them on was better for articulation, still don’t know how that is possible...

Hi all, I just replaced my right rear wheel/ axle bearing because the seal was weeping and had a bit of movement. When I checked the movement after I finished the job it still has movement, and when I checked the left side it also has movement, is this normal? How come the left side isn’t...

Just let me know if you need any further info.

Thanks for you reply, today I asked the question to a mechanic who knows a bit about tow capacities etc he said that the main difference between say a Toyota Hilux and a Toyota Fortuner is the rear suspension. For eg he said that both these cars have identical drive lines and engines yet have...

Regarding towing capacity for my 2” lifted with 33’s auto trans, 2008 unlimited rubicon my manual says the tow limit is 2100kgs. What limits how much I can tow? What would happen if I were to tow 3500kg

Hi guys, could anyone tell me what spring rate to get to replace my sagged ones out front. I currently run 2” lifted Old Man Emu springs on my 2008/09 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon auto soft top, with a winch bar and winch out front. I specifically need a spring that will flex for off roading. Are...

The right hand front is definitely lower than the left side. You can even see the coil spacing is different :/(

The noise starts to happen when the engine warms up

2008/09 and the noise only starts when the engine is warm

Interesting that, the noise only comes after it’s warmed up
