TL;DR: What is everyone doing for parking brake w/ Manual Transmission?
Issue: Parking brake is not holding on an incline, and now the Jeep slowly creeps when in gear on an incline w/ parking brake. The only way to stop it is wheel chock, or park it in 4low.

Anyone know anything about the kick panel/ rocker panel in the middle of the front door of the JLU’s? How do they attach? Can it be pulled and replaced easily?
Reason:
I found a piece of paint flaking off while doing my inspection/ clean up today after a weekend trail ride. Put a little...
Long time poster, first time in this forum. Howdy!
Some of you may know me or have seen me lurking in other forums over the years. For those of you who don't: Daily driving and wheeling Wranglers since 2003. Jeeps/ stats are listed in my sig and I have a build thread you can check out for...
Time for new tires for the big orange Jeep! I'll be moving on from My Milestars cause while they were good for the first half of their lives, the second half was more challenging to find a good tire pressure where they didn't wander and also wear the middle tread block super fast.
That said, I...
TL;DR: Has anyone ever mounted a spare tire hoist (like they have under the tail of pickup trucks and other SUV's) on their tire carrier to help lift a spare? Something similar to this, maybe...
I store some tools and my HiLift jack under the rear seat. Thinking about keeping them contained when running with the doors off, or with tube doors on in the near future. Has anyone ever used this or something similar for Wrangler:

So for the first time since 2016, my wife and I are loading up my Jeep and heading to Cape Cod for a week- except this time, it’s my JLUR and we have our 2 kids.
We did the ORV corridor at Race Point 3 times before- in fact,we got married there! So I’m familiar with beach wheeling and...
This is the second or third time this has happened in the last few months: I’ll go wheeling, on a harder trail, mostly rock crawling northeastern US forest trails, so lots of hard turns and turning the wheels against rocks to get the proper line- and when I get off the trail I notice my...
I've been reading this forum on and off for a bit, as well as the documentation from Z Automotive and wasn't able to find the answers to these random, specific questions. I have not had the chance to get out on the trail and test these. If I've missed it, please link me.

OK, coming to the forum experts on this one:
I read this on Google and had never heard this before-
" In a bucket, mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with a 1/2 cup of automotive wash and a 1/2 gallon of water. Stir the mixture, and apply the mixture to the undercarriage and any other areas of...
This works for the 3.6L. Not sure about the other engines. My pics may help you decide though.
I stumbled on this while researching temporary solutions while waiting for my actual mounting bracket from MORE to arrive.

I’ve been trying to match the fitting size so I can use it with my 4 tire air up system. It’s been such a pain in the ass finding the right fittings. Haa anyone converted one of these to a...
This is an easy one. I did some reorganizing of the Jeep recently to save some space, and ended up with some tools that wouldn't fit into my Fat 50 cans under the rear passenger seat: A breaker bar, several wrenches, and a dead blow hammer. I can't leave them loose in the Jeep as they'll rattle...
Ok, so I used the search and couldn’t find a direct answer. If I’ve missed it, please direct me to the thread.
Please excuse my ignoranceStupid question: Are the Factory Aux Switched grounded? I know they have fuses (two 40amp, two 15 amp) but does this mean they’re grounded, as in- I only have...
Has anyone wired a remote battery terminal to the rear cargo area of the JLU using the Aux switches as a power switch? What is their load capacity?
here’s my idea:
I want to take a remote battery post kit and install it in the rear of my JLU so I can hook up and run my compressor from the rear...
So, I'm about to pull the trigger on some 4" KC Gravity fogs and the appropriate jumpers to work with my OEM fog wiring harness.
Has anyone mounted these lights (or similar) on a Motobilt Crusher? Wondering if it would be easiest to drill mounting holes just inside the bull bar, and keep them...
Has anyone installed any additional heat shielding in the driver/ passenger footwells? If so, what did you use? I've read up on this and it seems this is due to the exhaust being right under the driver/ passenger footwells, and there is minimal heat shielding. this isn't the "heat blows for 30...
So, I have a chance to pick up some Body Armor Trail doors from my buddy who sold his '16 JKUHR.
Has anyone ever modded doors like this to be these doors?
I'm thinking you could get a local marine upholstery shop to make door skins out of boat cover material to keep it water resistant, with...
