The lights are adjustable down. Just bring the drivers side down a bit if you want to be considerate.

Cold air does increase horsepower. Cold air is denser. So there is more mass of oxygen (more oxygen) in a given volume of air. So if your throttle is open a certain amount, in the winter it will let more air in and can make more hp. But in order to make more hp, your fuel injection meters...

I hope you didn't get the tires just to get the E rating. The squishy feeling could have been eliminated by simply putting more air in the tires. Your 2200 lb trailer has a max of about 300 lbs on the tongue. Really nothing. The most I've towed with my Mojave (complete with soft springs)...

I've been doing this for a while. The problem is that with my 35s the engine is turning even lower RPM at 70 mph (about 2000) and it does not have enough power to maintain 70 mph with even the slightest hill. So even if I hold it in 8th, if I hit any kind of incline on the highway, I have to...

Above I asked the OP if he drove off road with his trailer. I'm asking this because a full articulating hitch is pretty much the exact opposite of a WD hitch. I'm not an expert but it would seem to me that you can't combine a WDH with full articulation. A quick google of "weight...

The truck will drive better. But to think you are going to get any kind of real improvement in fuel economy with lower gears is kind of fantasy. The transmission is already compensating by running in 7th most of the time. All of your mods will work against getting decent fuel economy. I...

accutune off-road does custom valved Fox shocks. They sell at MSRP, which is more than most discounters, but offer "free" custom tuning. You might want to talk to them. If you decide to go that way, they could build something that replicates the stock Mojave rear shocks except with more...

How important is it that you have an articulating hitch? Is this a trailer you plan to drive off road?

Not quite. The shocks are valved with a given spring rate in mind. suspension tuning 202 is that if you increase spring rate or preload, then you need more rebound damping to keep things working right. By adding the airbags, the OP has increased the effective spring rate. So he is now...

What is your goal here? Are you happy with how it rides and drives now, without the trailer? Just want to be able to tow more with less squat? If that's the case, then air bags are the answer. If you are happy with how it rides and drives but just want to get back to the original ride...

A few times per week for 16 years!! Wow. How many compressors do you go through per year. Ha. Seriously, what kind of compressor do you use? I would consider you to be an expert on this by now? Do you air up all the way when going back on road or do you cheat a bit to make it quicker...

I have used silicone pads like this for a long time. Be aware that despite similar sizes these units can have WILDLY varying power outputs. The one linked to above is 3.5 x 4.5 inches and is 250 watts. This one is 4 x 5 and is only 50 watts. So it's not going to get nearly as hot. I'm not...

Ha. I just remembered that I bought a Femco Valve before I got the Gladiator. I've used Fumoto for 20 years, but worry about how much it sticks out. I got the Femco Compact. And it comes with a drainer that I run right into the jug. Femco is another well known brand that is used by a lot...

This looks just about perfect. Can you stand it up on its side when you aren't using it and its got 5 quarts of oil in it??

Bump

Thanks

Hi all, My 3rd Jeep Wave oil change will be happening soon and I'll be back to changing my own oil for the first time in 15 years. Two factors came into play here. 1) the jeep is so tall its easy to get under it. 2) I am cheap but like to take care of my stuff. Prior to paying people to do...

Yes. But people overstate the need to get the trans fluid warm. The AT is a sealed system. If the fluid gets warm great. If it doesn't get warm it's not such a big deal. There's a big difference between the engine oil and the ATF. The engine oil suffers from ring blow by so you end up with...

When I was younger my dad and I used to autocross a fair amount. Every weekend there were some first timers bringing their 60,000 mile Porsche or Miata or Mustang to compete for the first time. A couple of times per year someone would break a ring because the cars had never spent any...

4xe would be great, but buying a $60k Jeep to best manage a short commute is insanity.
