An update:
After hours of research and over 500 miles of driving and completing every Jeep/Chrysler/ Ram drive cycle that I could find, I finally got all but two monitors to reset, which is all I needed to pass the smog test. I read that the final two could take anywhere from 1000-3000 to reset...
So I went on Tuesday and had the DEF flash done.. no big deal. What I forgot was that an ECM flash erases all of the emissions monitors that are required to be set to pass smog. The reason for the smog is I’ve sold the truck and it has to be done before the title transfer.
So after reading for...
That’s exactly what I wouldn’t do. You understand that 99% of dealerships use the least trained “techs” that they have for lube work right? There ain’t no way I’d let them touch my rig. I buy Mopar filters and the Quakerstate oil and do it myself.
I’ve had a set of Gen 3 steps on for a few months now. They have worked perfectly. Yes, they are expensive but worth every dime in my book. The Gen 3 install is worlds simple than previous versions. Get the LED lights too. I have a friend with a set of the Gen 2 and they have been working...
Sure.. as I’m interested in both items and can’t tell exactly how the battery system mounts vs yours, can I do both of them, do one or the other and add the battery to yours or the ARB to the battery box? Being able to wire the ARB straight to a battery under the seat is a no brainer and would...
I’m gonna wait a bit and see how this plays out to the end user.. the “pros and cons” stuff. And the big question I guess for me.. If I were to use the 813 Fabrication ARB under rear seat package, how would this blend in as far as mounting them next to each other or whatever would work best.
I used the Valvoline Synthetic 75/140 for my rubicon. You can get it in the squeeze bags (which is the best idea for a differential oil container in 100 years). It’s easier to do than changing the engine oil..
I do my own oil changes, and as long as the motor is under warranty, it’ll be Mopar filters only. If anything happens and there’s not a little “M” emblem on the oil filter, you’re done. I keep receipts and take pics of the oil(showing the MS 12991) and just deal with it. It ain’t worth the...
Well, I’d say it helped just a touch actually. I did it to see it it really would make any difference. I figured it was simple to do and couldn’t hurt. The biggest improvement by far was the Kilmat and the headliner. I’m very happy with the results there.
Yes.. he replaced a set of generic off the shelf, non adjustable, decent (when compared to anything else offered from the factory) shocks with some of the best performing shocks available. Add a set of the Fox hydraulic bumpstops ( yes, again much preferred over the factory offering) and it’ll...
All finished and came out well. The Uniden R7 is mounted to the 67 Designs rail with a nano sized arm and the G3 mag mount. I removed the screen and drilled a hole near the mount and ran the power wire to the Auxiliary #4 switch under the passenger side. The excess wire was zip tied up and...
I’d do the Nitto Ridge Grapplers for your uses all day long. The Trail Grapplers are a great tire, but for mostly highway, they are not ideal. I have a friend who drives tons of miles.. he put a set of 35 inch Ridge Grapplers on when he bought the truck new and I’ve seen the truck weekly.. he...
They have been perfect so far and I expect them to be that way for a long time. I’ll say that this is some of the best money I’ve spent on the JT. I have zero complaints and do not expect to.
So I’m going to try something.. I already have the 67 Designs rail system with dual phone mounts and an extra center ball mount. I’ve ordered their shortest arm (nano) and another magnetic mount. The plan is to mount the R7 on the center rain ball mount and then hardwire it to one of the low amp...
