I cannot see your lower control arms in your photo, but if they are round tubular then they are not stock and are probably part of a kit. What I'm thinking is you have the ReadLift 69-6041 kit. That kit comes with spacers for the rear, which would explain the OEM rear coils. Not paying...

I am more concerned about what the Jeep electronics might think of it when charging with the battery connected. It is probably not a concern or else CTEK would have dire warnings in the user manual, but automobile electronics seem to be more finicky and fragile than they used to be.

Might be something to do with the CAN bus. Could be a module flooding the bus with junk or a loose connector or broken wire or a bad star connector. This is something a dealer can diagnose much easier than an owner can, unless you have a way to monitor communication bus traffic. So, good choice...

Thanks. What do you think of the desulfation mode and 15.8V spikes at some unknown frequency?

I was looking at the CTEK MXS 5.0. Two things I was wondering about: 1) The desulfation voltage/process. It spikes it up to 15.8 volts at "high" frequency. For the experts out there, is this process okay for the Jeep electronics when charging with the battery connected? 2) I wonder which mode...

How did they prep the fenders? Did they sand down the texture? I've been thinking about this for when my fenders start to fade from the sun. I already had to Cerakote the black plastic insert in the cowl. It faded after only 2.5 years of ownership.

As much as I despise buying stuff from China, truck caps are far too expensive for what they are, by a factor of 4 or 5. They are an absolute rip off. If they are going to rip me off, I have no problem going around them and buying from China instead. For a price of $700 vs $3500 for "Made in...

That brings back memories. There was an oil-related spiel that went along with that where you entered some numbers and multiplied by 5. Something about arabs.

In my experience, cruise is too slow to respond to changes in road slope. It can't see ahead and predict. I see a hill coming and can start pressing the gas more before it slows down versus cruise waiting until it notices the vehicle slowing then giving it more gas than it should and causing an...

I never use cruise. For many hills I'll give it more fuel, just shy of what would make it downshift. I can tell when it is getting close to causing a downshift and can let off a little if I have to or let it downshift if that's the better choice. It might slow down a little up the hill, but so what.

Back when I used to drive a 4x4 that had battle scars and was always covered in mud, I used to scoff at drivers of shiny new 4x4s that appeared to never have been off pavement. Now I am one of them, but I'd feel foolish outfitting my Jeep as an overland vehicle. 4wd is now just for snow and...

If it holds 8th when you do it, whatever works for you. It is hard to believe it would hurt the transmission, the engine torque is low at the lower RPMs. The downside, though, and it is a big one, is when it finally determines you are lugging it too much it will downshift on its own, several...

Maybe this would help:

A full size 4wd pickup is great until you need to drive or park in the city or park in (or enter or navigate) a parking garage. Length, width, height, and poor turning radius make full size trucks less than ideal in these and other situations (and on trails, too, but that doesn't seem to be the...

It is programmed this way, it is not a dirty throttle body. Chopping the throttle is a high emission event so they programmed it to slowly back it off. I think they overdid it with the hanging throttle. I hate it. It is not only annoying, it can be dangerous. Situations can change in a split...

It took Max Tow rear springs in the rear to balance the suspension of my Rubicon and get rid of the wallowing. Shocks, which I tried first, didn't solve either problem, though they helped a little. Rear Max Tow springs + Bilstein shocks all around was the answer for me. It drives on the road...

Except they'd steal it using wire cutters, a sawzall, and pry bars. The damage caused by thieves often exceeds the value of what they stole. This is why you don't lock the doors on a convertible.

I would think since the front wheel are not slipping/spinning, the computer would think they have full traction so no brakes would be applied to the front wheels.

I can't shift from 2H to 4H until I slow down to nearly stopped. I've tried it in Drive and in Neutral, no difference either way. I've leaned on it pretty hard in my attempts but I'm afraid to put too much force on it when it should be slipping in easily. I don't use 4wd that often so it could...

Anyone heard of cam oil galley plug bolts coming loose? The video is showing a previous gen 3.6 without VVL. Not sure if it applies to the VVL version. I haven't heard of this as a problem but it wouldn't hurt to check on them if you're in there already.
