I've read the truck shocks are a bit "floaty" when used on the Wranglers. I'm willing to risk it. The front's were a huge improvement. I can always change back. 👍
I've already removed the old bushing. The new bushing is a double-flanged rubber shock bushing with no snap ring. Hammering the new one in would likely damage the aluminum shock housing--the bushing is tough. I already tried pressing it in with a socket and a vice.
I have a set of Fox shocks for a Gladiator Rubicon that I'm installing on my Sport. My Sport already has Rubicon springs so the shocks are the correct size. I have to replace the upper shock bushings on the rear shocks so they fit. I already have the bushings. What's the best way to replace...
I have both a 6 speed JK and a 2019 JL. The clutch is weird on the JL. I can't get a feel for it. We changed to a rock crawler exhaust so we can hear revs better to compensate.
The JL shifter is much better than the JK. I just installed a B&M shifter in the JK and the JL is still better...
Yes. The steering on our 2 door sport was terrible. It's mediocre after the TSB. Mediocre is a huge improvement! I also swapped to Rubicon LCAs which seemed to help. I added an upgraded track bar and track bar brace but I don't know that it helped.
After the TSB worked I swapped the springs...
Folding windshield. It whistles at highway speeds and most Jeep owners will never fold it.
Two-stage clutch. It's horrible.
FAD. I'd pay extra for manual hubs even though they'd actually be cheaper to build.
There's no wrong answer for this question. There are too many variables with mud, plus personal preference and driving styles. I've almost always used 4H in mud across a broad range of vehicles.
I was not happy with ours after the TSB. I saw someone's post about power steering fluid levels so I checked ours. The fluid was barely visible in the resevoir. I ordered the $20 bottle of Mopar fluid, added to max, and cycled the power steering lock-to-lock a couple of times. Fluid level...
Were the bolts silver before the TSB?
This is good info. I checked the bolts on my steering box (the new one) and there is no thread protruding from the box with a track bar brace installed. I'm not happy with how mine steers after the TSB. Mopar lift LCAs, Rusty's track bar brace, beefy...
I switched to 5W30 in my son's JK with 116k. Oklahoma consumption went from 1 quart per 1,000 miles to a half quart per oil 3,000 miles. I've read the non-USA versions ahipped with 5W30 but can't confirm.
Conceptually the JL is the best. Best suspension, best automatic transmission, best engine choices, etc. Unfortunately, the vehicle's detail engineering is sloppy. Sloppy steering box, terrible manual clutch, poor aux battery design, etc.
Per the title, how does one identify the correct bolts for the steering box TSB? I've heard the correct TSB bolts are a black. Is that true? I have the TSB but my bolts are silver. Thanks!
An unlimited is only rated for 350 lbs tongue weight. Taking the spare off drops around 70 lbs of weight which will help. If it were me, I'd borrow or rent a trailer--it's risky.
