Half the plugs require part of the intake manifold to be removed.

Definitely covering something with the bed. That rear bumper is bent badly

Not necessarily true. If oil leaks past the rings or pools in the intake it can hydro lock the engine. This in turn can bend a rod or worse. Best habit when firing a motor up after a prolonged time on the roof is to pull the plugs and turn over. Stand back as it’s a mess. This of course is a...

So I needed a new fire pit for the house and wanted something I could pack away when not in use. While browsing the ol’ eBay app I found scratch and dent rough country collapsible ones for 49.99. Sure enough chipped powder coating that is going burn off anyway saved me $100. Fit and form is good...

Enjoy. After that owning Jeeps continuously for the past 22 years, should have kept the Chevy, it would be less of a drain on the wallet. But no where near as fun. Those pics bring me back to February of this year. And what it looks like now ??

Another option you may want to consider is JTRD front springs. They will give you a nice 2” lift and help with the overly soft ride. Mine is has 2” spacer front and rear plus JTRD springs up front. The ride is so much better in my opinion as the stock sport springs just couldn’t handle the...

Spent my afternoon washing all three. Had no intention of waxing the JT but the towel left some odd hard water residue. So it got waxed. Oh and grilled a chicken for dinner.

Me three! Most noticeable when cold though. Oddly don’t think I have ever heard my JLU with the same transmission do it. Sometimes I almost feel like it alternator whine…

Thought fouling cats was normal, it just like cleaning a litter box

So you shouldn’t retorque suspension bolts occasionally either? It’s normal maintenance to anything bolted together. And honestly I doubt much is going to loosen if you aren’t running lots of weight on top. Either way not a big deal to me, do it once in the spring and once in the fall. As...

Well other toppers aren’t modular. This is just common sense for anything bolted together. As for lubing the locks, also pretty normal maintenance.

It’s like 10 minutes max guys

Well it lists out the tools. But not sizes. Not worth the cost to me. My vehicle tool kits are generally cheap HF except the ratchets. Hurts the pockets less when they get wet or stolen.

I kept leaves on the rear of the XJuggy for a reason, they worked. Did I add traction bar after snapping a center pin on a steep hill climb, absolutely. That trail fix required three winches and two hilifts to stabilize the rig. ? Never could get the Waggy leaves in the front to stop bending...

Yea i see it going the same way. Just food for thought at popped into my head. At times I really miss the simplicity of leaf springs. This is not a major issue, just people out there doing stupid things and blaming manufacturer.

oh I sure have. Thuren makes some awesome stuff. I had every intention of blowing a bunch of money on his stuff for my third Gen. Once again he doesn’t do that crap severely overloaded or with 700lbs hanging of the hitch. So one thing to consider, would this be a problem if we had leaf springs...

Yes at face value, possibly no long term. I would believe the area being plated was designed as the intended frame flex point in the JT. Remove it and the frame will have to flex elsewhere. In this case it will probably move to the rear end twisting much more under the bed. This could be an...

I agree it would be great to get some actual pics of a bend. Again the shock thing is a theory.

This!

So you think a harsh metal on metal contact would be better than some soft foam absorbing some of the impact. FWIW that foam has never even been touched in the rear. I won’t be your proof because I am not going to jump my truck with hundreds of pounds hanging from the hitch. I plan to use it...
