You can't expect the crappy OEM amp to magically output MORE power, definitely not 30w per channel more power. Get rid of the crappy oem stuff and do it right. Expecting aftermarket speakers that require 10x the rms wattage to perform AT ALL on 3 watts is absurd. Remove the OEM sub, and mount an...
Another viable option is to get a usb drive and rip all your CDs to it, then plug it into the USB port and use it like an mp3 player you can leave plugged into the truck at all times. It won't draw power since it's just a memory chip and without a UI to request data, it won't do anything until...
The way the Auto climate system works is based on an outside temp sensor and an inside temp sensor. Until the inside temp is close enough to the request temp, it will either focus on heating or cooling that area as fast as possible. I learned this by testing as I also don't like being blasted...
Update:
Warranty does NOT cover batteries. Whatever, the AUX battery isn't really worth dealing with. I'll just delete it and remove the cables/fuse for safety and cleaner wiring on later projects.
We're going on 3 days now and I haven't had another AUX battery related issue, yet. The light...
1) Yes, but not for performance, it's to protect the catalytic converters.
2) Waste of money. Two real world reasons/examples: A) the ECM is tuned on the most common octane in the region and that's 87oct in the USA and using higher quality is not getting you anything. B) I've personally tested...
THIS is exactly the type of response we need to technical questions when there's people who have the same parts being asked about. Hope this helps the OP too, with how detailed we've tried to be.
I don't see any tire poke OR the fender flares from the "wide-track" option. NICE!
Other than the higher fenders vs the sport variants, @Jaxmax do you ever notice rubbing? And have you/can you check how much clearance you have at full lock and full articulation with those tires? I'm highly...
Check your oil every other fuel fill, after filling up. Some engine consume oil, not much but more than others, sometimes.
Change your oil every 5000 miles, not more as the manual/dealer tells you. They do this to "reduce emissions" and "save you money" until you need a $10k engine. An extra...
Went out to start the JT and it was DEAD. No nothing, just the needles tweaking backwards. Tested voltage and was 3.5v. Got it jumped and had the Auto Start-Stop warning. Ran the truck down the road and back and it starts right up. We will see if the AUX battery is dead again in the morning...
Yeah, I know I'll need to regear for the weight increase and larger tires form 3.73 on the manual. But I'm trying to do the regear and diff upgrades at the same time. I know I'll be adding weight before the regear and have 32s that probably won't wear out before the 34s are needed, so I'm asking...
Built a small igloo with a shovel a last weekend, decided to drive the JT through the snow for fun, not remembering the tree buried underneath. Just added more fun to the mix. I have some video but need to edit it, here's a pic until then:
You can sleep two people or one and a large dog with...
I'm still on stock Firestone MTs on my 21 Willys, they haven't gotten louder and they're almost half worn. I would NOT buy them again unless I couldn't afford what I really wanted at their customer service is garbage, and they don't have any techs on the phone (forget an installer) that can...
Do you plan on removing the rear underseat plastic/box, tools/jack, and bolt tray? You may need to remove the seats too as the center bracket at the split is less than the length of that enclosure. I've been having a hard time finding a good downfiring 12 that fits myself.
You may want to...
Not in 4L it won't. Took the JTW out the other night with a couple of the boys, went to a light off-road trail and normally I can do it in 2H most of the way. With 2 feet of snow we started in 4L, and learning the hard way that someone came through and rutted up the trail from a previous storm...
The concept of changing struts/shocks around 30-40k miles isn't anything new people, it's actually a common maintenance mark for multiple items on vehicles: struts/shocks (valving starts to show less control over bumps/holes), tranny/gear/diff oils, brakes (yes, brake fluid every 1-2 years)...
Super thankful I don't have an automatic, all those nannies are a nightmare. The fact the engine "shutdown" or potentially stalled is not normal. I could see it doing it's ESC/TC thing and cutting all throttle response and applying the brakes, but the engine doesn't shutdown or stall even with...
Try to avoid non-touchless washes. Rednecks and ignorant dicks will drive their trucks through these with mud/rocks and they get stuck in the brushes, even though there's signs telling them not to.
My 21 Willys goes through a local chain here, Delta Sonic, and that's only because there isn't...
