Changed the fluid and filter a couple of weeks ago on my 2-dr. Overall, just follow the directions and everything will be fine. Be patient, and accept that it might take half a day, including removing any aftermarket skids and making sure everythingās at the correct temperature. The pan on the...
If you can remove your upgrades and replace with stock, thatās great. Check your policy- I know mine wonāt cover my āupgradesā unless I declare said value of those upgrades and pay the appropriate premium. If theyāre gonna cover everything you put into it, let āem have the Jeep and start fresh.
I didnāt explore too thoroughly, but thereās at least gotta be passage for the battery connections. I was thinking the same thing- great place to tidy up wires. Pretty clear shot up to the main battery from the box. Removing that fender liner really exposes the firewall nicely if you need to run...
So itās time to replace the batteries- getting the āAux switches unavailableā message at start-up. Peeled back the fender liner, easily removed the three 10 mm bolts, dropped the unusually light battery tray and behold! Thereās no aux battery! No wires dangling, just a nice empty cavity great...
Great info throughout. Thereās been plenty of discussion regarding the fill plug access on the 2dr- has anyone actually tried any of the methods described? Creating a short 8 mm or some other method that has actually worked? Waiting on parts and Iād like to have a solid game plan if anyone has...
After receiving weekly emails encouraging me to purchase the Mopar extended warranty, I decided to call them. I really wanted to purchase an extended warranty. I specifically asked about lifts, and their response was it will void coverage. That knowledge, combined with a nasty local service...
Don't feel bad- I was hearing the same little clunk on my Sport. I was planning on re-torquing everything under the front end, until I had an unscheduled off-road trip. Sure enough when I got to the driver side quick disconnect, the pin was obviously loose. No clunk while disconnected off-road...
First application of ādesert pinstripingā was within my first two weeks of ownership. Just part of the territory in my neighborhood. No soft and fluffy vegetation. Bright white tends to hide them pretty well. I even managed to pinstripe the hard top a few weeks ago. Thankfully I didnāt kiss the...
Awesome build thread. Ideas, info, and humor. Very fun to follow. Then just when I thought it couldnāt get much better, it did! Itās comforting to know we have the same security system for our Jeeps š.
Kudos to āthe lowly 2-dr Sport.ā Iāve been making some runs with Rubicons on some pretty challenging trails, and the the sport has hung in there with the ābig boys.ā Even without lockers or 37-39ā tires, it performs like a champ. Itās also kinda fun being the underdog on a trail run.
Always trying to protect the vulnerable stuff. Installed Rusty's 2.0L engine skid and the frame-side LCA skids. The pinch bolt on the passenger side LCA skid is a bear because of limited clearance with the fuel tank skid. Engine skid is a really easy install.
I've been using the Staun deflators for about six months. Always accurate and I've been very happy with them. The initial cost stings a little, but it's been money well spent for me.
My primary concern would be rubbing the LCA's at 5" backspacing. Personally I would make sure I clear the suspension components, then if wheeling the fender liners or fenders are an issue, that's easier to correct.
According to the diagram, if you place the 20A fuse in the #43 position, the 12V socket should have power even with the ignition/acc off. In other words, there will be power at the fuse box and the socket in the "always on" setting.
