In April I had a shop install a steer smarts track bar and drag link. I do like to collect mfg stickers but received none from the shop. I assumed had I purchased the items directly there would be some stickers included. This past Saturday I sent steer smarts an email asking if they could send...

At the dealership this morning hanging around the service area. This wrangler is riding on 40’s so I thought I would see how they have built up the suspension. Not a pretty sight. I don’t know how this person is not having issues. Zero adjustable control arms.

Does this need to be addressed? Several weeks ago a shop installed a steersmarts drag link as a measure to stop death wobble issues. I now have 1500 miles or so on this new drag link. I don’t recall the end looking like this when originally installed. I’m guessing I would need to twist the end...

Visting some family in Arkansas and hitting Hot Springs off road park Monday 4/21. I'm staying roughly 2.5 hours away from Hot Springs but plan to be there around 9am. Not brave enough for much more then mild to moderate trails.

What’s the best practice for slow speed off road trails. Let the transmission decide the gear or manually select?

Long story short I went to a highly recommended specialty off road shop to diagnose and fix death wobble. Shop was a hour and a half each way trip. I purchased a steer smart drag link and steer smart track bar from the shop. I also brought in a falcon steering stabilizer new in box that I...

My drivers side bilstein B8 5100 shock is leaking. The shock has been on the truck for about ten months. Northridge has issued a warranty replacement. The question is what limits droop when a jeep is suspended on a lift. I noticed the failed shock after getting new tires installed at Costco...

Looks like I have coolant leak showing up at the reservoir/hose connection. Not 100% show though as maybe the reservoir is cracked and that’s just the point where the liquid gathers to drip.

I might be the first Jeep owner to downsize back to factory size tires. Changing out my worn 285/70/17 Wildpeak a/t take offs back to Willy’s factory 255/75/17. Figured with the weight I have added with steel bumpers, winch plate, winch, recovery gear and tools acquired over time it makes sense...

Never serviced a differential myself. I’m looking at front and rear differential covers. I want to add some armor without adding a skid plate. What should I be doing besides pulling off cover, replacing with new cover, and fluid refill? I have seen some people using chemicals for cleaning out...

I have not seen any threads about these tires. They are a mid range tire, around $250 each for 285/70/17. I'm mostly concerned about how they would hold up to sharp rocks. The forestry service roads I frequent sometimes will get a fresh cover of rocks for maintenance. Some of these rocks get...

I swapped out my aux battery and main battery today due to “avengers” start/stop service light. Also the truck is hitting year four and I felt new batteries are a worth while investment. I changed the aux battery by going in trough the top. I could not for the life of me get the aux battery...

I recently raised my front end with two inch synergy springs. The overall lift amount after settling seems to be inbetween 2 inches and 1.5 inches. When looking at Bilstien shocks there is a 0-1.5 inch lift option and a 2-3 inch lift option. Is it better to go with the 2-3 option which could be...

Installed two inch front synergy springs today along with synergy bump stops and Mopar extended LCA’s. Two inch springs were a good choice for weight of bumper, winch plate, winch. Went from 21 inches measured from center hub to outer bend in fender to 23 inches. I’m sure they will settle a bit...

The first time I swapped out my springs and shocks I used a hodge podge of tools that were not ideal. Some were borrowed, some were old/sketchy, and I lacked all the ease of life items. I got the job done but probably spent twice as long compared to having the correct tools. Slowly I have been...

I'm adding the 2 inch synergy front springs, synergy bump stops, longer mopar control arms. Goal is to compensate for steel bumper, winch plate, and winch weight while providing a small lift to level the truck. Not planning to touch the rear and planning to keep the rubi take off shocks...

There is a small area of bubbling paint on the edge of my hood. A little over a year ago that same spot was repainted due to the same issue. The fix looked perfect. Why would the exact same spot bubble again over a year later? Can issue the issue be permanently fixed or is there inherently...

Today I picked up a Facebook marketplace find. Rear rubicon steel bumper with bed sliders, bed slider brackets, and a plastic front bumper for $100. I don’t care about the front bumper. With a lot on my mind I installed the bed sliders then the steel bumper and found a nasty situation...

This fell onto the driver side dash this morning while driving. I have never lowered the windshield or attempted to. The item is a square clear plastic with a black sticky backing.

What you do? The handful of times I had a flat along the interstate I pulled over and changed it. A young person that I know was just killed while fixing a tire on the interstate. The car was fully on the shoulder and the tire happened to be on the shoulder side. He was rear ended. Changing a...
