Here's some things with links for you
For the bed I ordered - The Tuff Viking Convertible 3 compartment SUV Trunk organizer. It's under my tonneau cover and it's been a great addition. What I like is that it is easily removable. Here's the link...
I've got no dogs in this fight but at least at first glance it appears the Armorlite would be significantly better at sound reflection and adsorption compared to stock as well as Bedtred, even with butyl/alumn. sheets.
Without too many words, since there are a lot of caveats even to my POV, a...
i Took mine out today, a little more swoosh sound for sucking, however I have the husk off-road snorkel kit and that gave me more sound from airflow as well. So not exactly sure how much more sound you will get from stock box/intake pipe. You will have to break the stock clamp to remove the boot...
I can't believe I've been driving around with this camper for 5 months! This is my daily driver as well as my camper and toy. Here's my good, bad, and ugly report.
The Good:
The truck's HVAC works fine to heat and cool the truck in 100 degrees F to -10 degree F, driving or parked.
The...
Jeep does not offer a 2 door Wrangler 4xe in Europe because of going hybrid and electric. The 2 door cannot house a system with range and emissions that justifies it in the market.
To build vehicles that are up to current emissions and safety, you will naturally have to go larger and heavier...
A 2-fer
Finally with an evening free I managed to get back to BB. Two things to get done, one purely for convenience and the other an absolute necessity.
First the necessity
1. If you suffer leg pain while driving long distances do yourself a favor and jack up the front of your seat about...
When I was young I was an audiophile dork, not so much a bass head but I obsessed about dynamics, staging, pressure etc. It would be hard to reproduce consistency with audio cabin intrusion reduction via db reader on a Jeep. I find it impossible to believe that any hard square panels adhered to...
The head liner can reduce some wind noise, perhaps, but it also absorbs instead of echoing the reverb effect off the roof panels. When talking or listening to music, it sounds less like sitting inside a box. More to the point, I am able to talk to back seat passengers at highway speed without...
The foam is strictly for sound abatement. Long term you should eliminate the K&N filter. The oiled versions pass larger particle size and not good for compressor wheel life. If you have a cone style, then it is also pulling in hotter air from under the hood, this will reduce fuel economy...
Edit: I think I recognize the problem. I’m using the term GVWR. Really what I mean is the load rating which isn’t the same thing. I think you can carry more weight in the JTRD than the ~900 pounds under the right circumstances. That’s not necessarily the same as exceeding the GVWR. Jeeps...
No, they can't - not the tick, and not all misfires.
Oil leaks would only cause issues if the oil hit the O2 sensor and through the readings off. Otherwise, external oil leaks won't do anything but make a mess. The only way a misfire could be caused is by "shorting" a sensor (and it wouldn't be...
Finally got the rest of the hardtop finished wrapping with Killmat and the Coverking Topliner. Wanted to get it done before my long drive from Houston to Ouray so that it would help reduce overall cab noise and it did an amazing job. Don't get me wrong, it still has wind noise like every Jeep...
Yeah found that. Also called them they can do just a half front roof rack which will fit my needs perfectly. I have an OVRLND Camper on order so I hope it will also act as a fairing to reduce wind noise and make the flat front of the camper less of a wind catcher. Thanks
People need to stop looking at the static calculated compression ratio.
These are FINE with 87 and hundreds of thousands of them on the road with no ping, no issues, is proof.
Further, a little detonation, if these are actually even doing that, isn't killer.
These have VVT and VVL not to...
Links are always good. So thank you.
But my assessment of the A-pillar noise is not like there is a window open or a leak. Its also not a whistle or anything like that. Its a low pitched sound of wind rushing around the outside of the pillar/roof junction area.
Its just the sound of the...
Tires for sure, the crappy stock Mojave AT tires are LOUD and only at 20k miles. I’ll be swapping them onto my teenage son’s Pathfinder soon and upgrading to BFG AT, which in my experience stay pretty quiet as they wear. Second for me is definitely the hard top, I rode in a friend’s JKU...
Hey Everyone! Hope you guys had a great week and weekend! I finally got a little time squeezed in to during the week just to do a couple minor things to the gladiator. First thing I started messing with was fixing my driver's side visor. Apparently some jeep have an issue where the "arm" of the...
With summer here in full force, I've had my top off and doors off A LOT. Does anyone else notice a rattling noise out of the tonneau when hitting bumps? Sounds like it's just shaking in it's track or bouncing lightly. Thinking about running a thin strip of a soft material along the lip to...
