It was actually no trouble at all. It took just a couple minutes to tape the vacuum hose to the oil filler neck. Changing out the drain plug with the Funoto prior to draining let me drain directly into the empty container instead of draining to a drain pan and then transferring to an empy...
Installed a Fumoto oil drain valve right before I changed the oil. I used a vacuum cleaner to draw negative pressure (taped the nozzle to the fill neck) on the crank case while I removed the stock drain plug and installed the Fumoto valve. Not a drop of oil- completely dry while I swapped it...
Back when I had my JKU, someone local was selling the Mopar JK8 kit on Craigslist. I found this article that describes it. I think the conversions look pretty cool. Once in a while, converted JKUs show up on eBay...
Finally put on 35s with Quadratec Morphic wheels (gunmetal) that I had bought for real cheap some time ago. I accidentally stumbled onto a small tire shop in Spring Valley (7 Days Tire Shop). Brand new BFG KO2s (315/70R17, C) for under $1,100, with labor and tax. Way cheaper than the big...
I was hesitant about Oracle flush mount tail lights, but I took a plunge after seeing one from another another local JT owner (thanks, Ryan!). Works great, and I think it looks much better than the square "bug eyes" that used to stick out. The gap around the edges could be improved, but still...
My Terra Acoustics front dash speakers arrived today. Took about a month and a half. They look and sound really nice. I had the Kenwood KFC in there previously, which sounded great. There's definitely a different sound through these. The Terra Acoustics description says these are less efficient...
Removed for a lift kit and firmer ride at about 20k miles. Perfect condition. Excellent shape. Includes what you see: springs, LCAs, sway bar end links, shocks, front spring perches, and track bars (front and rear). Shocks do not leak. Sorry, not able to ship. Send direct/private message if...
Yes, for the Alpine "premium" sound system, the two harnesses on each side of the soundbar are split between high and low frequencies. I'm not sure where on the spectrum the split occurs. The cross over is located somewhere upstream of the speakers, likely under the dash and integrated into the...
I went with the Mopar CAI and an AFE dry filter. I did notice a difference, but not immediately. It took a few days for the computer to adjust. Initially, there was a noticeable reduction in performance when accelerating and merging into highway speeds. I could feel a noticeable difference after...
You guys all have serious issues. You need help/intervention. I need to upload some more pictures into my JT album, so I can look at pictures of my jeep from my cell phone (even while sitting in my JT)...
No code available through the website. Just email them and tell them you're a forum member. They will give you a discount. I think mine was a 10% discount, plus free shipping.
That looks great! Unfortunately, the dealers (contracted out to auto glass installers) here replace with the same rear window assembly with the same part as the leaky ones (without any additional weatherstripping). I like the textured weatherstripping on yours. It looks even more "factory". Any...
Hopefully, the pics below show what you're looking for from the side. The weatherstrip sits pretty flush. Besides the rain, it does a good job of keeping dirt and other debris out of the gap. No solution was needed. I just gave it a good washing and let it dry before installing. It helps to do...
Really happy with mine. Very functional (rugged, good steps, fits body contour). Lining up carriage bolts to start the nuts was a bit tough. As others have mention, attaching the carriage bolts to the brackets with RTV would be a big help. I did something similar, except with JB Weld. It set up...
Thanks. I had the Overland steps, which were really practical. They were light and wide (helped keep doors clean and provided a comfortable step). I wanted something more rugged, so I put on the Mopar Performance Rock Rails. Those are really nice, but it was somewhat too high to step onto when...
$700 firm. Sorry, won't be able to ship. In excellent condition. Includes mounting hardware. Send me a private message if you have any questions. Selling because I went with steps/sliders that are more "family friendly". I'm in the San Diego area.
On my third, and hopefully last, set of side steps. Installed a set of LOD Destroyer sliders last night. Makes it very comfortable to step into the truck, especially for smaller members of my family. I really like that the steps follow the curvature of the body, leaving a relatively even gap...
