    Shift ! Shift! Shift! Aaaggggg !

    My TJUR was a 6 speed and in normal driving I only used 1-4 and sometimes 5, but never 6. I just never found myself in a position where 6 was needed or wanted. In my JK, which is an auto, first I have ever had in a Jeep, it moves fast enough down the highway that I am pretty certain I would use...

    No rear washer, wiper, or defroster controls

    Based on this Mopar kit at Quadratec, I think it may be doable to make the upgrade in your garage. Seems to be fairly plug and play. I had to remove and replace the aftermarket rear camera on my JK when I bought it. Because panels and carpet are easy removed/replaced, getting everything apart...

    New to the Wrangler world and the forum with questions about the 3.8

    First, welcome to the JK, Jeep'n, and this Forum. Personally, I am on my 4th Jeep (CJ, YJ, TJUR, JK). Like SteveF said, it is an addiction. I finally convinced my sister to get a JK and now she is far outpacing me on mods and time in the woods. She simple cannot get enough! The 3.8L was the go...

    Car Keys Express

    Here are the keys side by side (new on left), just in case anyone was curious.

    Car Keys Express

    Hey guys, One topic that comes up a lot on these forums is keys/keyfobs. For reasons that have to be a cousin to losing socks in the dryer, those of us who buy used Jeeps often only end up with one set of keys for our rigs. I was at Sam's Club today and there was a mobile key company (Car Keys...

    Roof rack mounting without rain gutters on the rear half of the hard top

    As promised, finally, here are some shots of my Rhino Rack. All three rows are drilled through the top and reinforced inside. Looks like the top needs to come off for the work to be completed, I would assume this applies to any roof rack system.

    Roof rack mounting without rain gutters on the rear half of the hard top

    If I am not mistaken, this is the the system that I have (link below). It is drilled and reinforced inside the top. My wife took off in the Jeep this morning, so when she gets home I can snap some photos. I would assume you could install it yourself and that it comes with a template for getting...

    Roof rack mounting without rain gutters on the rear half of the hard top

    My Jeep has the Rhino Backbone system and it is pretty stout. My wife is driving it today, so I will try to those some photos up later. You have to drill through the top to mount it, but the inner frame spreads the load well. I realize you have your own set of crossbars you want to use. Have you...

    Anyone have a solution for rock rail gap?

    My Recon came with the factory rock rails, which have been great. The problem is they collect more rocks than they seem to protect from. I am about to take them loose so I can clean out the accumulated rocks and wondered if anyone has ever found a solution for keeping the rocks out. I was going...

    TJ to JK, I have questions

    I just recently made the switch from a TJUR to a JK Rubicon Recon. I caught a lot of flack for selling the TJUR (except from the guy who purchased it), but I am really glad that I did. My JK is a 2nd vehicle (as was the TJ) and I have found myself driving it more often than I ever did the TJ...

    Is there an aftermarket radio that actually fits the dash opening?

    The only one that comes to mind is Insane Audio. Their units are 'vehicle specific' in design, so the JK unit will swap out seamlessly for the stock unit. https://insaneaudio.com/products/jk2001/

    License plate mounting issue

    We don't require front plate in Arkansas, either. However, I have seen plenty of Jeeps that have them. Most Jeep sites have the front plate mounting brackets, but I think you have to screw them into the bumper. I like this one that uses existing mounting points...

    Needing new tires for JK

    My Jeep has KO2's (came with them) and they are really great tires. That being said, I have Yokohama Geolander A/T's on my F-150 and they have been historically the best all around tire I have owned. I have run them on several different vehicles and I have never been disappointed in their...

    Price Opinion on 2018 Golden Eagle

    CarGurus says it is a fair deal, meaning that it is just below market. So, they are going by the $32K number from KBB. Make them an offer and see what they will do. When I bought my JK a few months back, the dealer came off the price $2,500.

    Lifetime powertrain warranty buyout

    Having dealt with warranty claims, in another industry, Jeep's position is going to that the LPW has zero monetary value. It was provided to you free of charge and, thus, there is not depreciation schedule to show future (current value). You are an anomaly, in their minds, as the warranty was...

    I’m going broke and insane (and need help diagnosing my Jeep)

    I hope they make it right...on all accounts. I have somehow made friends with two different guys over the years, who's family owned an AAMCO franchise. Both were super solid dudes who knew transmissions in and out. I am not defending AAMCO, but I really hate to hear that you have been getting...

    I’m going broke and insane (and need help diagnosing my Jeep)

    You said the fuel pump is fine/replaced/tested. The engine demand under load (in gear) would be greater than in park/neutral, so it would make sense that it doesn't bog at WOT when there is no load. Are you running an aftermarket throttle relay (Pedal Commander)? If yes, unhook it or turn it off...

    Pedal Commander Review

    I have mine hidden away/mounted under the dash (see photos). As the Pedal Commander can be controlled using the app, I have no need for it to be accessible on a daily basis.

    Pedal Commander Review

    I have had the Pedal Commander for a few months and it really does make a difference. However, from time to time, you will want to turn it off and drive for a few minutes without it. You forget just how anemic the stock throttle response is over time and may even wonder if the PC is even...
