  1. Looking for the best 2" to 3" lift for the money

    I have an AEV lift and its great. Supposed to be a 2" lift but it raised my JTR about two and a half inches. Great ride and handling. Quality products and no regrets. Bilstein shocks are great.
  2. What's your take on aftermarket aluminum oil filter caps

    Both halves of the part are plastic. There is nothing wrong with the plastic cap as designed as long as it is not over tightened or cross threaded into the bottom half. 18ft/lbs means 18 ft/lbs. I see no reason to use an aluminum cap here unless the bottom half was the same material. Just don't...
  3. I've Been Ducked!

    Got one in a Safeway parking lot. Saw the woman walking away from my JT. She had three shades of colored hair and the duck had a pink head. It's probably still laying in that parking lot someplace.
  4. Just got quoted $3700 for 4.88 regear. Getting my chain yanked?

    China bearings and parts don't cost as much. Don't buy junk stuff this important.
  5. Tell Stellantis what you want..again

    I have told them repeatedly. I want a vehicle that doesn't have body panels that are oil canned and look like it was painted with a Windex spray bottle in a windstorm, right from the factory. I want one that doesn't have electrical codes regularly. I want one that has an electric back window on...
  6. Can’t decide which wheel size to go with. Need help!

    18" arer somewhat oddballs. Go with 17's, way more options for tires down the road.
  7. AUX battery my 2 cents - had to vent

    Ok to vent to the choir here but to get anything to change you need to direct your ire at Stellantis directly. Nothing will change for the better if not.
  8. Do our trucks get software updates?

    I was told by a Jeep service department that the system updates on a random basis via satellite. My system seemed to be failing and acting erratic and they said I apparently disrupted the changes in process and to just park it outside and let it resend and install them. I did and it fixed the...
  9. My friend's Gladi had a minor crash

    Always sounded a bit too "British Feminine" to me but maybe I am suffering from toxic masculinity syndrome. /sarc
  10. low oil message 2k miles after oil change

    Agreed. The oil life remaining is irrelevant to me. I change the oil/filter at between 3,500 and 4,000 miles. Might not be the most economical way to do it but have been doing so all my life and it has worked well for me.
  11. How much weight on front end is ok

    Okay, difference of opinion. But for my purposes, spacers suck.
  12. Rat in glove box - How?

    Well, then MB is wrong because they have tons of bulletins out regrading mice damage to wiring and they specifically cite soy. But it doesn't matter. The little shits are terribly destructive and the only way I have stopped them is with bait blocks. Works everytime.
  13. Rat in glove box - How?

    Short answer is they can squeeze thru just about any opening. Mice are even worse. Try some scent deterrents and do not eat in your rig. They can smell it great distances away. I put a couple mice bait tabs under my hood when I go visit my son at his ranch. They work. One bite and that's it...
  14. How much weight on front end is ok

    Answer is probably 100 lbs or less. Don't fool with spacers. If you like the ride height, get some aftermarket springs that are stiffer than the current stock junk. My Rubicon was so sloppy when I drove it home I almost turned around and took it back to the dealer. And that was empty. With...
  15. Temp gauge. Cold to normal in minutes?

    Ever get the feeling that keeping it simple never crosses the designers mind? If things don't change for the better at Jeep, this JT will be my last vehicle from them. Besides poor management, Jeep is following other brands into the dustbin due to federal regulations. I hope for Jeeps sake they...
  16. Temp gauge. Cold to normal in minutes?

    Agreed but you can't watch the actual engine gauge ap if using the navigation system very easily. My wife does the same thing with her car, she just turns up the fan or turns the temp setting to the hottest setting. Good grief! Guess that's why they keep us around :))
  17. Temp gauge. Cold to normal in minutes?

    Yes, that is correct. I knew that the newer Jeeps had the ap to show all critical gauges on the screen as well but if you are using your navigation it is a pain to keep switching back and forth in aps. There are various methods of getting accurate readings on engine and trans conditions but I...
  18. Temp gauge. Cold to normal in minutes?

    Just because the gauge says it is normal does not mean it is up to operating temp. I installed an LS3 in a JK a few years ago and wanted to know exactly what the temp, oil pressure, trans temp, etc were. Got an AeroForce gauge and was very happy with it. Link: AeroForce Technology, Inc...
  19. Bad Oscillations at 65 mph

    Interesting issue. I get my 37's balanced and rotated every 8K miles. I have AEV wheels and twice I have had the glue on weights come off after balancing. Never had the issue before on any vehicle but had it happen twice this past year. So if your Jeep drives nice for a while after balancing and...
  20. Warn winch install questions

    Not sure. I have a Warn Zeon 12K winch with Warn mount and it fit well but snug. The winch is extremely tight but it fits like it's supposed too. You have to be methodical about it and leave all bolts loose until everything is in place. The fit is tight but it fits nonetheless. I watched a few...
