  1. Power steering fluid.

    JL & JT Jeep manuals state "...we recommend you use Mopar electric power steering fluid ". Read this thread: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/power-steering-fluid.30770/page-4 The Pentosin CHF 11S is available at the chain auto stores and can be mixed in with the original...
  2. Is there a market for a 36in tire?

    If Amsoil made a tire it'd be a slick.
  3. What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

    Love that blue. 👍
  4. Big Bear Run 3X BoH April 13 & 14

    Put me in for a GM JB for sure. Maybe on the HC. My spotter is dealing with some issue where he can't raise one of his arms. Old age thing. I can do GM and JB without him, but he's my main man for HC. I was just about to re-install the fenders after some work, but this trip is a reason to...
  5. What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

    Adjusted the Apex power steering boost kit to 2000 psi and topped off the res. Put the final pieces on the engine after a oil filter housing change and drove it. Changed the oil 3 times today driving a total of 60 miles, to flush the coolant out that contaminated the oil from a bad cooler...
  6. Ditch the 0w-20 before its too late.

    I dunno. I'm just not convinced it's all about the rollers themselves. This stuff is old hat. Even flat tappet V8s with big valves and heavy valvetrain and super heavy springs didn't have this much of a problem. Let alone roller lifter big engines with heavy springs. These tiny 4 valve...
  7. Coolant line came off, need help identifying part

    Looks like the heater tube with the valve on the end. 68280784AB HOSE/TUBE-Heater Supply
  8. Metal Cloak ball joints vs Dynatrac?

    After looking at the Metalcloak design cutaway, I prefer their design over the Dynatrac balljoints that I currently have. But, unfortunately, they came out about a year after I replaced mine with the Dynatrac balljoints. But, if I had to buy balljoints today, I'd go with the MC. Metalcloak...
  9. Making it so doors do not unlock with interior door handle pull

    Looks like they have more purchase for the vicegrips than the OEM nuts. If the thief resorts to vicegrips, he's not going to give a rats ass about the side panels of you Jeep. I'd just put some blue loctite on the OEM nuts and be done. That'll slow him down. A thief hates slow.
  10. Can I exercise the 4WD?

    It really isn't that fragile. Dry pavement is fine. Avoid tight turns while in 4wd. Any parking lot will do.
  11. Spiders

    It's not the recluse I'm worried about. We have them and BW spiders here. It's the giant Wabujitsu spider. I can't even imagine what I'd do if one of them crawled up my neck and sat on my head while driving. But it'd be in the papers...Florida man in jeep....
  12. Ditch the 0w-20 before its too late.

    And that too, along with electric chonies.
  13. What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

    👍 Speedy. I took over 3 weeks. But, I also put in a Mishi radiator and trans cooler, 850w fan, steering boost kit and cooler. Still, I'm slow these days.
  14. What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

    Finished putting the essentials together on the engine after a oil filter housing/cooler change and a bunch of mods and 3 weeks of being down. Fired it up. Added coolant and pwr steering fluid (mods to these systems). Good oil pressure and temps.
  15. Spiders

    And here I was thinking of moving to Florida.
  16. Spiders

    Many decades ago, I had a flea infestation in my sheep skin seat cover. Girlfriend put a flea bomb in it sized for a small house. That crap was dripping from everything. But, no fleas no more. 🤣
  17. Ditch the 0w-20 before its too late.

    If I lived in Alaska (no way) I'd have a block heater, oil pan heater, trans heater, transfer case heater, diff heaters.
  18. Spark Plugs - To Anti-Seize or Not

    I'm looking at one of the Champion plugs (2018 OEM) I removed and it appears to be a zinc coating. Silver (Ag) has a different look. Zinc makes sense for aluminum heads.
  19. Spark Plugs - To Anti-Seize or Not

    People that live in the rust belt should use something, whether anti-seize or grease. Reduce torque 20% and it's about equivalent.
  20. Spark Plugs - To Anti-Seize or Not

    A little perspective; the spark plug thread in my 3.6L is 12mm dia x about 1 inch long. There is not a chance that the threads could be stripped with torque under 100 lbs/ft. The shoulder of the plug where it seats to the head will provide the conductivity.
