  1. Need lift advice, truck rides like a wagon

    These seem to be of good quality and decently priced, and from a good name. Since you moved the axle down (by installing a lift), you changed the geometry of the front control arms. A lot of companies get by this by selling you a pair of bars with a different length, but they're only tackling...
  2. Need lift advice, truck rides like a wagon

    Going back to 17's would hugely help, as well as some geometry-correction brackets just in case you wanted to go a few steps further.
  3. Why can't I install my spacers?

    Problem: The tension in the bushings are keeping it from lowering down any further. Solution: Push that mother down.
  4. What plug would plug in to this?

    As a diesel tech that works on a wide variety of different vehicles and machinery, I absolutely love that site.
  5. What plug would plug in to this?

    Someone sap a pic of the wording on the connector itself and maybe I can identify it. Also, you can probably buy it here for way, way less than the dealer.
  6. 4200 miles before it started marking its territory

    I know the wait sucks but just bear with it. Dealer tech here to hopefully smooth things over. When repairs/issues are addressed under warranty, the technician usually has to follow a strict process or procedure with full documentation to prove to the manufacturer that A) the issue is due to a...
  7. Flat Tow

    See my post above. It is NOT OK to flat tow with the manual transmission in neutral. Keep it in gear, it does not matter what gear it is.
  8. Those complaining about the steering... get the Fox Steering Stabilizer

    Just because It's a conventional stabilizer doesn't mean it only works one way.There's fluid on both sides of the piston and valving that prevents the fluid going to and from either direction unit it reaches its opening pressure.
  9. Those complaining about the steering... get the Fox Steering Stabilizer

    TF do you mean it only works in one direction?
  10. Shift points after regear

    The PCM uses engine speed, turbine speed, output speed, and wheel speed to calculate shift points. Change any of this and it could throw the shift points out of whack. Get a Tazer mini because it's quite literally one of the most useful mods you can buy. It'll let you reprogram tire size and...
  11. Ordering a Base Sport, question about manual locks and windows

    Gotta know when the door is closed, I'd be shocked if there weren't wires. Manufacturers hide a lot of stuff in the doors these days (door open switch, ambient temp sensor, air bag sensors just as general examples).
  12. North Carolina

    Would it be possible for a non-Jeep-owning Raleighite to attend? Possibly for a ride-along? The only time I go to Uwharrie is when I take the bike to some twisty roads nearby.
  13. Flat Tow

    It's because when the engine is stationary, neither the input shaft (red) nor the countershaft (blue) are moving. Only the output shaft (green) would be moving. The reason this is a problem is because the transmission is either splash lubricated via a submerged countershaft or lubricated by a...
  14. On Board Air: Pre-Fab’d mounts/DIY & Chucks (Where & Why)

    Diesel truck mechanic here: There's a lot of things to nit-pick here. A lot of the pictured compressor setups are just generally undesirable or have some no-no's pictured. Electrical connections that aren't water-tight, poorly-routed air lines, bad air chuck placements (seriously, on the frame...
  15. Welp that was quick....

    They did this run-around with me when my Miata got backed in to. I asked for the hood and they came back with the good ol' "Insurance might ask for it back" line. Through shrewd negotiation, I was able to convince them for me to keep the old damaged hood, which is now hanging on the wall in the...
  16. Do you consider the Jeep gladiator as a first Gen vehicle

    The ICE is not going bye-bye for a long while. Despite all the hype around electric cars, they're not going to be the world-dominator that everyone thinks they'll be. An all-electric future is still decades away for numerous reasons. Will there be hybrid options in the future? You bet. Will...
  17. Do you consider the Jeep gladiator as a first Gen vehicle

    Yeah, that's not happening. Jeep is going to make this as long as it keeps selling. By the time a few years rolls around the JT will be printing money for FCA, and you'd bet your booty that they'd want to keep it going.
  18. Do you consider the Jeep gladiator as a first Gen vehicle

    I would consider it a first gen, strictly because it's used under a new nameplate. If they just called it the Wrangler Pickup then no. It's not like we're going to be going by generations anyway. We're all just going to call it the JT. By the time the next one comes out, we're all going to be...
