  1. Lift Kit Brand preference

    I have tried many different spring including Factory Rubicon, Mettacloak and others. After installing EVO PLUSH RIDE SPRINGS I found what I was looking for. I first went with 2.5 and now running 4.5 with Fox 2.5 shocks and 38 Milestar Patagonia tires. Every time I drive my Willys I am amazed at...
  2. The 3.6 Tick Bites Trail Recon at 31,000 Miles

    Most motors have the filter located at the bottom of the motor and always full of oil. Let your 3.6 sit over night. Remove the oil filter cap. Remove the oil filter. What you will find is a completely empty oil filter housing and the oil filter isn't even dripping oil. All the oil from the...
  3. The 3.6 Tick Bites Trail Recon at 31,000 Miles

    Because I am not aware of any manufacturer that run there engines as hot as 235 to 240 degrees. The jeep fan only come on at 15% fan speed at 221 and 75% fan speed at 231. To little to late. Just ask the jeep owners with trailers and or heavy rigs about limp mode.
  4. The 3.6 Tick Bites Trail Recon at 31,000 Miles

    Than I guess my tundra and f250 6.2 are doomed to fail. My Tundra with 370k miles ran at a constant 190 to 200 degrees . My 2020 f250 also runs at 190 to 200 degrees and only hit 212 when pulling my 9000lb jeep and trailer up a long uphill grade a 7000ft. elevation.

  6. The 3.6 Tick Bites Trail Recon at 31,000 Miles

    Here is what I did that I hope will avoid the cam / rocker issue. 1. Installed the RPM Extreme JL fan controller. This has lowered my coolant and most important my oil temps by 25 to 30 degrees. 2. From the very start I ran Valvoline 5w30 oil and now running Valvoline European 5w40 oil. This...
  7. OIL, 0-20 or otherwise (couldn't find the other oil threads)

    I have been running 5w30 from first oil change. I am now running 5w40 Euro. I have seen on difference in MPG / performance or oil collected in my oil catch can. The motor seems to run a little bit quieter.

  9. BR6 Brakes and Power Stop

    I tried the Baer Brakes 13" SS4 Rear Brake Kit on my Wiilys for about 6 months. I was not happy. 1. The way the mount the calipers is not to my standards. 2. Did not do much to increase braking. 3. The squeak was ear piecing and when I called Baer they had no solution or better brake pads...
  10. Coolant Temperature

    I have posted this many times how I struggled with getting my coolant temps under control. The way your cooling system works is. The thermostat starts to open at about 190 and is fully open at about 212. The problem is with the radiator fan and when it come on. The fan comes on at 221 at about...
  11. Easter Jeep Safari starts this weekend, April 12th!!!

    WOW. I just won (5) 38'' Milestar tires at the Easter Jeep Safari raffle. I was one of the last numbers to be called and was thinking of leaving early. Glad I decided to stay. Still can't believe it.
  12. BR6 Brakes and Power Stop

    The Z36 along with anti knock back springs in the front calipers on my wife's Rubicon work great put on my highly modified heavy Willys I needed more. Teraflex Delta brakes use Toyota tundra pads and anti knock back springs witch give you that superior brake pedal.
  13. BR6 Brakes and Power Stop

    When I was looking into different brake systems I call Powerstop and ask what different between your calipers and stock jeep calipers. I was told they are jeep factory calipers rebuilt with jeep parts and painted red. I did try Z36 pads and yes they helped put with 37 tires I was not happy. I...
  14. How does this happen?!

    I think they are Dana gears
  15. Easter Jeep Safari starts this weekend, April 12th!!!

    Arriving on the 11th. leaving on the 19th. See you there.
  16. How does this happen?!

    I have rebuilt 100s of diffs and when I hear a wine when coasting or decelerating it is almost always a loose pinion. There could be many reasons why you have a loose pinion. Bearings / crush sleeve or the nut back off.
  17. swap out 37 inch tires for a better ride

    I have a 2020 Wrangler and had tried many different spring set up including Metal cloak factory Rubicon and others. It wasn't until I installed the EVO Plush ride springs that I was happy with the ride both on and off road. I am running 4.5 plush ride spring with Fox 2.5 adjustable shock 37''...
  18. 2020 Rubicon Axle Shaft Questions

    Go with the RCV axles. You will never brake one and a lifetime warranty. Rory at Trailmater explains why he likes them and the benefits of the RCVs in one of his videos.
  19. Pcv valve

    You can go ahead and replace the PCV valve with the updated one. In my case it may NO difference in the amount of oil vapors that the PVC system picks up. My UPR oil catch can separated the same amount before and after the new valve. Your best defense is a good oil catch can like the UPR.
