I got into my parking brake problem today. It's pretty obvious why the parking brakes weren't holding. The shoes are worn out at 50,000 miles. The lower shoes in particular were just almost gone. I don't drive with the parking brake on, so the only explanation is abrasive mud hole muck swimming...

The official JL procedure for the parking brake seems to be to tighten the cables via the access inside the console. I'm at the upper limit of travel on that adjustment, and my parking brake just barely holds. In my research, I've discovered that these parking brakes use the same hardware as...

SOLVED: Thanks @Roky, it was the frame side track bar bushing. Changed that, and 100% improvement. Original post follows: I have a '21 JLU Wilys with a TeraFlex 2.5" lift kit, TeraFlex 9550 shocks, and Rock Krawler track bars fore and aft, running 315/70R17 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ P3 tires...

I went to run some errands Friday evening, to hit everywhere before stores started closing for the holiday. It was 0°F at the time, and the Jeep had been sitting for about eight hours. I didn't give the cold much thought with a 2021 JLU with the Pentastar. Modern, fuel-injected engines have been...

I was on the trail yesterday, enjoying a wonderful Thanksgiving afternoon. I picked a bad line through some ruts, and emerged with a clunk, whump, pop, chunk, shudder, creak, groan, scraaaaaaape! As soon as I got beyond this obstacle, a chime went off, and Low Fuel flashed on the dash! It was...

It's unclear which sub-forum is best for a clutch pedal discussion, so I decided to post here. I came back from my wheeling trip yesterday, pressure washed the Jeep, and went to the store to buy groceries. When I parked, I shut the engine off with the transmission in gear, and then released the...

My '21 JLU is in the shop getting a set of 4.56 gears. I got a call from the guy telling me my rear brakes are shot. I hadn't even really paid attention to the condition of my brakes yet, as the Jeep only has 12,000 miles on the clock. The factory brakes on my Ford truck lasted 100,000 miles. I...

The area right below my doors is taking a lot of trail rash. While researching something to bolt there, I discovered bolt-on rocker covers. There are offerings from Hammerhead, DV8, Metalcloak, ACE, and Fishbone Offroad, among probably others. The Metalcloak are thinner and lighter and require...

I lost track of the thread where someone wanted photos of the autoLynx at their extremes. I happened to get into that situation today. I actually jumped out to see what I just dragged, and how badly I scraped up what. While I was there anyway, I took these photos. These are the 10.5" or whatever...

I finally got my Jeep stuck today, and contemplated slogging through knee deep rancid muck water to hook my winch to a tree. I thought I would share the solution I came up with in the field (or in this case, the puddle) so that other people might be more likely to hit on the winning solution...

I went over my tires to see how they've been doing, and I figured I would report my experience for posterity. I installed the tires at the same time as a 2.50" TeraFlex spring lift. I just hit the 2,000 mile mark, and I'm going to rotate them this weekend. I ran them at 38 psi for awhile...

I can't find a way to delete the thread. I got tired of tripping over my Rubicon takeoff springs and shocks, so I threw them away.

I can't find any way to delete the thread. I got tired of tripping over these, and threw them away. They did not sell.

I have a set of 5 '21 Willys wheels and tires available. The wheels have some chipping and trail rash. The tires are 255/75R17 32" Firestone Destination MT/2 with white letters out. TPMS sensors included. Tires have about 5,000 miles on them, and were rotated in a 5-tire pattern at least twice...

I was talking to a buddy on the phone when I got into my Jeep after work today, I described my irritation at how the climate control works, and he wondered if I didn't have a bug. I have no basis of comparison, so I thought I would ask the forum is this is normal. So it's transitioning into...

I was a big fan of Turtle Wax Ice from the beginning of its life to its end. My truck looked brand new after 125,000 miles thanks to that stuff. I used it on paint, plastic, everywhere. I did up my new Jeep with the same stuff back in spring, and it's about time for a new treatment. I just tried...

Some of you followed my regear thread, where I spun my mental wheels for the longest time, and finally settled on 4.56 gears. Now I'm asking myself if I should do lockers while I have everything apart. If there is any chance I would ever wish I had lockers, there is no better time than while...

I had to change my front turns signals at the last minute, because my old ones wouldn't fit my new fender flares. I haven't researched these issues at all, and I'm busy working in the rain trying to get my lift finished. I'm being lazy and just asking what is probably a redundant question. I...

I'm installing the TeraFlex 2.5" base lift with Rock Krawler track bars, the cheap shocks, the plain Falcon jounce bumpers, and I'm reusing the Mopar lift LCAs I installed with my Rubi takeoff lift. I got the front mostly finished today. I still need to torque the track bar and the control...

I threw the new 35" spare on the bone stock Sport tire carrier, and it's going to work fine. I would like to extend the rubber bumper thingies so they continue to make contact with the tire. I killed about 30 minutes digging around on parts sites and old threads, and I've turned up nothing for...
