  1. For something completely different -- How is the BT phone call quality?

    I just spent a little time looking into this today, and it seems the call quality got a lot better in the 2021 models. For the 2020s, here's a fix that I'm pursuing with Grand Cherokee mics, as posted by @Sleighman back in 2021...

    Still for sale. Bump.

  4. Rubicon locker sensor.

    Can you get them potted so they're less prone to failure? This is perhaps a shitty question, capitalism being a cornerstone of the USA and whatnot, but are you looking to profit from this buy or are you just distributing cost among the 25 buyers?
  5. Rubi owners, keep your locker sensors from failing! How to pot your sensors

    Really? That's excellent news! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. When I asked TE Connectivity about purchasing a large quantity of sensors, they told me that while the sensor itself was in their catalog, the sensor programming was proprietary and that I couldn't spec a Jeep...
  6. Rubi owners, keep your locker sensors from failing! How to pot your sensors

    I wonder if your intake RTV failed due to fuel exposure. I can confirm that it definitely doesn't like fuel. I'm not saying it is invulnerable to oil, but the stuff is sold specifically as an oil-resistant sealant. Perhaps there's a better potting compound, but the cursory research I conducted...
  7. Rubi owners, keep your locker sensors from failing! How to pot your sensors

    It's my understanding that RTV gasket maker is highly resistant to oil. Regular silicone, not so much. It might not be the ideal potting material but it was on hand and oil resistant. I did a little bit of research into oil-resistant potting compounds but didn't come up with anything...
  8. Rubi owners, keep your locker sensors from failing! How to pot your sensors

    I haven't heard of any fronts failing, but I'll probably do it next time I have the front diff cover off. It's the same sensor, but the front sees so much less use and at lower speeds so I don't think the oil gets hot and thin enough to breach the sensor housing. Or perhaps it's just a matter...
  9. Rubi owners, keep your locker sensors from failing! How to pot your sensors

    Some of us are now painfully aware that the locker sensors in the new Advantek 44 Rubicon axles are prone to failure. Even more annoyingly, the sensors are not available to purchase outside of a complete new axle assembly. You cannot buy this sensor if/when it fails. The main failure cause...

  11. Gator touch up paint code?

    I got in touch with Quadratec and they should be able to get Gator touch-up paint now. It's not present in their online color list yet, but if you reach out to them they can order it.
  12. Gator touch up paint code?

    Thanks, gents. Just to confirm, though, it's PGV, not PVG - correct?
  13. Gator touch up paint code?

    My Gator-colored hinges have taken a few good stone hits now, and they're going to need some touch-ups before I put on some sort of protection to keep it from getting worse. Gator Green is paint code PGV, supposedly. However, PGV is also used by the color Deep Beryl Green (though that color is...
  14. For something completely different -- How is the BT phone call quality?

    I've found that a lot of volume settings on the Uconnect system can only be changed with the main volume knob while the specific event is happening. Try the volume knob while it's actually ringing. I couldn't figure out for the longest time why my navigation voice prompts were so quiet and I...
  15. 37’s with no lift!

    I'm running 37" x 13.5 tires on -6 offset wheels with no lift right now while I'm building up my airbag system. I lost around 1.5" of front suspension height when I put on a bumper and winch, but there's not much travel available before tires touch fenders (high Rubicon fenders). I wouldn't...
  16. For something completely different -- How is the BT phone call quality?

    Mine is unusable at speeds above 60 mph. No one can hear me over the background noise. I have a hard top with Hotheads headliners, riding on 37" Cooper STT Pros. I suspect it's mostly the tire noise drowning out the mic. These are some seriously noisy tires, but I did get them in used condition...
  17. Rubicon spring rates measured

    Yeah, some good info there too. I used my measurements plus the figures in those threads to get an ideal-ish front rate of 149 and rear 187. The stock front spring rate is way too soft once a steel bumper and winch are added, especially if your Jeep came from the factory with a plastic front...
