My Alien Sunscreen has been fantastic. Easy to install, cuts wind noise, greatly reduces radiant heat. Supposed to reduce UV exposure 90%, IIRC. A lot of other similar products out there—go get you one!

Nowhere in my argument did I say it is not worth it. Did I say that somewhere?
I did say that without numbers and a true handle on the entirety of the situation it cannot be truthfully claimed to be without a doubt 'better'. I also said the only way to truly stop or reduce polution is to...
Last night I installed a Rough Country adjustable track bar and centered the front axle. I then had to straighten out the steering wheel.
This weekend, I will do a front end alignment, using some brackets I bought off a web site a few years ago. I have to look up the recommended settings for...

The 2023 Gladiator that I purchased in October came with the Factory Hardtop headliner. I'd like to reduce the noise by putting sound deadening under it.
Has anyone attempted to remove the factory hardtop headliner? If so, how difficult was it and what should I look out for?
I was also...
...Wranglers but so far on the Gladiator, it's DIY only.
Likewise there's a Mopar factory option for a simple headliner kit, which helps reducenoise a little. I installed something similar myself, again with Kilmat under the panels, which helped a lot. But the most benefit probably comes...
That'll tear up distributor drive and driven gears - won't "stretch" the timing chain. they don't stretch, they wear. Each pin and each hole wears, causing an effective change in length.
That is normal for 80K miles or so to have timing chain wear.
Because it's a sort of worm gear drive, the...
Haha. Perspective is a wonderful thing, isn't it?
I love my 07 JKU, but with its age, offroading it and 137k on the odometer; she's no cush ride. To add on top of that, it also has the much desired (sarcasm) 3.8 engine and 4-speed transmission. That coupled with 4.10 gears, 35s, steel...
I drove an IH Scout with an IH 4 popper as a shop vehicle for about a year back in the 70s. Talk about loud, clanky, rattles, cold in the winter, and over the years drove and worked on almost everything. Jeeps came into the shop now and then, got used to the metal on metal sounds, lack of...
...turn my music up louder. Problem solved. :) If you want a serious solution, there are liners you can buy to attach to the panels that reducenoise and heat. HotHeads, IIRC.
You didn’t buy a truck, you bought a hobby. Like most hobbies, you can spend as much or as little as you want to...
Few notes for ya.
People view the high running temps as an issue with a modern diesel. The higher temps do a bunch of things, primarily boiling out any moisture, and reducing fuel content due to nature of blow by in a high compression engine (in the engine oil). Secondly they reduce soot load...
I was eyeballing that solution for a while too. Looks great from the outside, awesome that it can switch from white to amber, will have zero wind noise obviously, no clearance issues and offers more security. Points of contention to me though were the obvious potential for glare on the glass at...
I didn’t have that particular light bar, but I did have an overhead light bar on my wrangler. It was obnoxiously loud and also whistled. I fiddled around with it for several weeks. I added little spacers and little fins and different ‘solutions’ to eliminate or at least reduce the noise...
