What did you do to your JK today?

[mrjp]

Well dam if I was home we could have met up. O well next time. Sounds like you had a great time.

I installed a real oil pressure gauge.

I installed a real oil pressure gauge.

That was one of the first things I did on my Jeep also, easy to do on the 3.8's.

Did a trans fluid & filter change on my 2016 & rebuilt & reinstalled the front drive shaft (cv joint) on my son's 08.

Gotta say the topside vacuum pump is awesome. Minimal mess.

Swapped my subwoofer into a new sealed box, sounds SO much better than the ported box it came in!

I drained the gear oil in my axles after the break-in peroid was over. I had Yukon Limited Slip differentials put in both axles and Yukon recommended adding this friction additive.

Oil pressure gauge on the 3.6 eng. not so easy. But do-able.

You just need to buy the TEST oil filter cap with the fitting in the top.

Wasn’t what I did to it but what I did with it. Top down , doors off surprised my son by picking him up from school. The other kids were telling him how lucky he was to ride in a cool Jeep . He was king of after school pick up today ! Lol!

Haha! I've been doing this with my daughter recently. Doors off makes dropping them off/picking them up nearly seamless. Even had a parking lot monitor yell out, "Cool Jeep", which was kind of fun at 6:45 in the morning.

Also, it's kind of fun when the friends comment on how much you suck when you show up with doors/tops on.

My daughter LOVES when I pick her up with the tube doors on and top off! The teachers and kids tell her how cool her dads Jeep is and she just has the biggest smile ever. You know who isn't smiling? The dad behind me driving the minivan. He always glares at me.

I bought a spare filter cap and drilled and threaded it and used an electric oil pressure sender, works great.

Sucks to be that dad

Painted the calipers this morning.

 

[SteveF]

I like that, I should do mine yellow

 

[Danarch]

Finally got these put on today. Went for a drive and seems like they will be a smoother / quieter ride then the previous tires.

 

[mrjp]

Rotated the tires yesterday. And then some help showed up

Do you use that Dewalt Impact to do your lugnuts?

 

[mrjp]

Just to take them off. Good old click type torque wrench to 100ft pounds when they went back on

Yea I figured you'd use a torque wrench to make sure you don't loose the wheels driving down the road. What model no is the Dewalt i've been thinking about getting one.

I`ve got the 1/2" and 3/8" and drill motor. They seem to work good I have no complaints.
