  1. Wheel/tire jack

    I use a harbor freight flat pry bar under the tread to lever it up into place.
  2. 2024 Mojavicon to be

    When choosing between Mojave and Rubicon, I drew upon my experience with JKU Rubi's and the JT max tow. I found the 2.72 transfer case to be better for my use on Nevada hunting trails, and appreciate the Mojave upgrades to frame, knuckles, shocks, seats, steering wheel. I figure if I later...
  3. Unable to remove Axel

    the way a life ball joint video shows bolts inside the spindle also.
  4. Drop in bedliners

    Get the shop to guarantee the thickness of the liner they will spray. Some places spray it thinner to save money. And, I agree with the above posts that spray-in liners, whether Line-X, Rhino, etc. are the way to go.
  5. "Jeeps are the most overrated and terrible cars there are"

    I am reassured to see the hate from "people" who don't deserve a Jeep.
  6. Check Your Rear Stabilizer Frame Bracket Bolts - Mopar New Bolt Length

    I used these bolts Amazon.com: Omix-Ada Bolt, Shock to Axle, M12-1.5X70, 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK : Automotive with flanged nuts and the stock pressed nuts in the factory bracket Amazon.com: 5 M12-1.5 Hexagon Flange Nut - Non-Serrated Class 8 Zinc. DIN 6923 / ISO 4161 : Industrial & Scientific...
  7. Transfer Case Skid bolt spinning

    Mine did not have any loctite but were tight. The factory really tightened some of them and either almost cross threaded them or the threads in the nuts were tighter than normal spec. I put high pressure chassis grease on the threads when re-installing the bolts. My daughter's JK had...
  8. Freedom edition tire question

    If you don't have max tow, the diff is narrower and I would recommend a narrower 33" like the 255-80-17. I have them in Falken AT3W and prefer them to the wider stock Mojave tires.
  9. Hail bashed my hood - 392 replacement?

    Mine has black springs but steel hood. August 2022 build.
  10. Large wire crimpers

    I have used a metal-working chisel that has the cutting end blunted to hammer a crimp, and then solder using rosin core solder and a propane torch for heavy cables. I use the size connector that is as close as possible to the actual wire diameter--which sometimes says it is for 6 gauge (as an...
  11. Soft top to Hard Top

    Those brackets also need to be properly adjusted so the freedom tops are tight enough that they don't leak. Plastic trim panels need to be flexed out of the way or removed to install the brackets.
  12. Soft top to Hard Top

    I made that change on my 2020 max tow.
  13. Battery powered air inflators

    I like this one 12V, 125 PSI High-Performance Inflator (harborfreight.com)
  14. Arcus or RR HD front bumper

    I have the Arcus and posted on other threads how I minimized the weight increase on my Mojave.
  15. Well....F$%K

    You may suffer "Diminished value" at trade-in time.
  16. Steps or Sliders....hhhmmm

    Rock Hard work well as both sliders and steps.
  17. Does it make sense buying a Mojave?

    I find that the 255-80-17E Falkens ride as nicely as the 285-70-17C stock Falkens, both at 40 psi.
  18. Does it make sense buying a Mojave?

    After two Rubi's I found that I preferred the 2.72 to 1 transfer case. 4:1 was too low for the trails I use. I like the Mojave frame, knuckles, seat bolsters, steering wheel, suspension/shocks. If I wanted to do a lot of rock crawling, I would choose a 2-door Wrangler. As others posted, if...
  19. Did You Know that you can set the incline of your tailgate

    Yep, my manual is in its wrapper also. I do refer to my downloaded copy fairly often. Good info about features such as offroad+ etc. As for plywood, I have a Ram and a utility trailer. . .
  20. 28,000 mile Rear Diff Fluid Change

    Here are the insides of my covers with 1/8 NPT plugs installed:
