    What did you do to your JK today?

    That used to be true but I thought that the business now has to show some revenue? I haven't looked into this for years, though, so maybe it has reverted back to simpler times??

    Has anyone installed JL brakes on a JK?

    I was thinking the same thing.

    2008 JKU "Argenta" Build Thread (plus a 2010 Islander side project)

    I've debated getting a set for my truck. I've had the same feedback from people who have actually used them - nothing but positives.

    The battle against the dreaded P0300

    I replied in your other thread so won't repeat myself here other than to say lean bank 2 is consistent with the valve seat recession issue on these engines. Post in thread 'The Crna Utra JKU from Aus' https://wranglerjkforum.net/threads/the-crna-utra-jku-from-aus.32797/post-472198

    The Crna Utra JKU from Aus

    Great progress thus far! It will look (and perform) even better once the AEV lift goes on. Keep us posted when you get to that. What model year is this? Some of the early JK 3.6 engines had issues with valve seat recession which would show itself thru misfires once it progressed. I see...

    Bronze wheels on firecracker red?

    I have the 75th anniversary wheels and I've really grown to like them. They're a bit different take on bronze all together:

    LED Headlights

    Welcome. I had the same thought as @JeepJeezy - the headlight connection.

    Grand Caravan 3.6 Swap

    Yes, I'm beating a proverbial dead horse... I was watching some discussion on the local news regarding the Auto Show and North American Car/Truck of the year. Recall I'm in SE Michigan so it gets a lot of attention around here. Truck of the year is the Ford Maverick Lobo and one of the...

    Grand Caravan 3.6 Swap

    I was thinking more like .5s - from your 6.2s to something like 5.7s. I'm totally pulling #s from the air here though. Like I said, just a fun discussion. The tires I grabbed for the example above probably represent about a 25lb save per corner. That's not insignificant for rotating...

    Not a JK, but here's some inspiration for you:

    Grand Caravan 3.6 Swap

    Agree! Just for fun I'll expand a little... Wranglers have respectable power/weight with the 2Dr and the 3.6L. 285Hp and 4000lbs puts it at .07 power/weight. Expressed as a percentage for the graph below (from Reddit using data from 37k vehicles) it would be 7% The trend line at this...

    I'm not going to say it's all bad as there are certainly some good aspects to it. However, at a high level it's just another attempt to implement a program via higher taxation, which, as the famous quote goes... won't lead to prosperity. Most will debate that, however, it's essentially an...

    We are in the same position and are very grateful. 🙏 This issue with this "Act" is that it focuses on the insurance provider side and I don't think has any legislation to impact the actual cost of healthcare, which is the real root cause. Insurance companies have their ROI targets, just like...

    BF Goodrich K03

    Unfortunately, it happens on both sides of the aisle. We have paid ~$5k-6k more every year for health care since Obamacare was implemented. It was like flipping a switch from one year into the next that couldn't be flipped back off. If only the legislators that vote these things in had to...

    Aftermarket Backup Camera for 2015 JK (2025 version)

    For mine I used the power feed for the reverse light from the passenger side taillight.

    Aftermarket Backup Camera for 2015 JK (2025 version)

    I went with the Brandmotion from Crutchfield. I think it was this one which includes the adapter for the factory radio. I used Jscan for the programming. They were great with troubleshooting a few issues, including a bad adapter harness...

    If you had this hardtop all you would need is a bottle of Windex. 😂
