OK, TSB done on Monday, they said my steering is pulling to the right and need an alignment, but it was more like the Steering wheel isn't centering after they changed out the steering gear. Fixed easily myself by adjusting my Drag-Link. My Jeep is tracking a lot better now, but then I...

Thanks, I actually read the SAE J2807 here: http://www.trucktrend.com/how-to/towing/1502-sae-j2807-tow-tests-the-standard/ , but I am unable to find a breakdown on what preventing the Wrangler from obtaining a higher than 3500 lbs tow capacity rating. The brakes, acceleration?. I feel like the...
I've read many posts about towing, and there are many reasons stated on why the JLU has such low towing capacity, but don't necessary find them all very convincing.
The JLU is rated with tow capacity of up to 3500 lbs. There are many theories and here is my summary, and let me know that you...
It will be my first time towing anything. I am still doing my research, but has started prepping my Jeep for the task. I upgraded my hitch with Draw-Tite Hitch which I don't even have a clue how this going to help, but it is a class III rated with a higher TW. My Brake controller should...
I use SpiderTrax Spacers which as far as I know, have never been reported to have any issue ever
. At least nothing found through google. http://www.spidertrax.com/products/spacers
I just came up with the idea. Anyway, the reason is that I plan on doing some towing, and people are suggesting to put in some Air springs helper to prevent sagging. So, I am thinking if my front end is already lower than the back, then might be able to get by without without installing these...
Hi Everyone,
I have a 2.5" EVO lift on my JLU Rubicon, but the only other major mod which would affect it's weight would be my heavier bumper and winch at the front? So, my assumption is my front is probably sitting slightly lower than the back. Anyone have a suggestion on a reliable way to...
As I continue to do more research, the tow capacity continues to confuse me a little.
Some Youtube channel seems to suggest that some countries outside of US have tow capacity set as as law, over it, and you are off the road, but in the US, it's not a law, and because people tend to speed, so...
Suggestions for a complete newbie who has no experience with towing. I've been doing tons of research for years. At this point, I've narrow down to the OPUS OP2/4 and the Intech Explore Flyer.

Hi Everyone,
I just spoke with Bestop on the phone with my concern on the Submission date of their rebate where the postmark should be on or before 6/30.
Anyway, I was told if their items are out of stock and don't arrive until sometime after June 30. They will still honor their rebates. I...
I have been wanting to setup so low profile but convenience location for my Element E50. Then I came across this flashlight mount which is use for flashlight that has a larger diameter. The mount arrived this afternoon, and while it isn't a perfect fit for my E50, I just put 2 layers of foam...
I understand that jacking from the axle side is what you do when swapping out tires, etc. Don't people jack the jeep up from the frame when they are working on the suspension, etc?
Hi Everyone,
I have one of those CB Antenna Mounts right next to the spare tire. Anyone know if I can still use that existing Antenna Mount with a GMRS Radio? Maybe I just need some other type of Antenna?
