Not sure what you mean by "at the expense of". Adding a shock extension will increase full droop by the amount of the shock extension. The shocks control full droop. You need to add bump stop spacers to prevent the shocks from bottoming-out at full suspension compression (up travel).

Lots of CAIs come with 'high flow' air filters that don't do as good a job at filtering the air as the factory air filter. Letting any contamination into the engine above what the factory filter allows is not doing the engine any good. EDIT: You were posting as I was typing. We're on the...

If you are concerned about the engineering behind the CAI, then just get the Mopar cold air intake. They were actually available as a factory option, so no worries about warranty impact. The only thing to remember is to use the factory paper-type air filter and not the 'high-flow' washable...

If shock extensions are added to stock shocks, you need to add the same amount of bump stop spacer to prevent the shocks from bottoming out. It's as simple as that.

Yup, dealerships order what sells. Many people just figure that the JT has 'four wheel drive' so that's going to be good enough for them, not even realizing that Selec-Trac exists. My dealership story: Back in 2019, I went to the local Volvo dealer to order a V60 wagon with a silver exterior...

I frequently wash my Jeeps and cars in the garage. I use a garage curtain that I got from Akon to keep water out of my 'clean & dry' bay. I also have semi-polished concrete floors so I can use a floor squeegee after I'm done. My floor has a nice slope to it, so I just keep the middle bay door...

Indeed. I really enjoy my Mojave, but I'd enjoy it a whole lot more with another 100 HP. Once they actually start building the 2024 Ranger Raptor, I may just have to get one.

IMO, the problem is that lots of people 'buy' a vehicle with a bank's money. This makes it way too easy to overpay because "it's only another $100 on your monthly payment". My position is that I never buy something that I can't afford to; 1) pay for up front, and 2) take a complete loss on...

Not all load range E tires are created equal. The 255/85R17 BBAT tires are very flexy. IMO, do some experimenting with the pressure. These tires seem to have a very convex tread profile. On my JKRX (I know, different animal, but full steel armor, winch, and a ProRock 44, so she's heavy), I...

Also remember the 35x10x17 option, which is the 255/85R17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT. They measure 34.6" actual diameter, and they are an excellent all-around tire. I run them on my JKRX and love them.

I'm glad you mentioned this. I have a JK and I am also on the Wrangler Forum. There are a lot of reports of oil filter housings leaking on JKs. People are quick to say that the plastic housing cracked, but I don't think that I've ever seen anyone post proof of an actual housing crack. I have...

Officially, it is called a "Tire Deflector Bracket":

Sounds like it's time to pick up a set of new take-offs to use as snow tires and run the existing set during the summer.

At least that's how I read it. Maybe it isn't.

I like this poem.

Hey Bill, did you ever find out anything more about this code? I got a new code reader that does more than just CELs, so for fun I hooked it up to my JTM and did a full scan of all modules. I currently have no issues or check engine lights on, I just wanted to play with my new toy. It came...

Sorry, I'm not exactly sure what size I ended up using since I had several different sizes 'in stock'.

I can honestly say it is one of the best things I've ever bought for my garage. I got creative with 'sealing' at the top and it keeps my old Camaro essentially dust-free. It works so well that I actually run a dehimidifier in the closed-off section during the summer. It also protects from...

I use a garage curtain from Akon and it works really well. https://www.curtain-and-divider.com/garage-divider-curtains/?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqaDs_pzfggMVA_fICh2OZQ_1EAAYASAAEgKyZfD_BwE

Are you comparing the regular Command-Trac t-case with the Selec-Trac t-case? If so, what you have stated is not correct. Selec-Trac in 4H AUTO uses a variable clutch system to vary the amount of power sent to the front based on a lot of factors including detected slip. It is not a simple...
