  1. ZF8 50K Mile Transmission Service -- DIY How-To Instructions

    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 everythingā€™s at the correct temperature. The pan on the...
  2. Crashed and rolled. Ugh. Looking for some advice

    If you can remove your upgrades and replace with stock, thatā€™s great. Check your policy- I know mine wonā€™t cover my ā€œupgradesā€ unless I declare said value of those upgrades and pay the appropriate premium. If theyā€™re gonna cover everything you put into it, let ā€˜em have the Jeep and start fresh.
  3. Aux Battery Lesson Learned

    Apparently. Replaced the main battery yesterday and no messages this morning.
  4. Aux Battery Lesson Learned

    I didnā€™t explore too thoroughly, but thereā€™s 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...
  5. Aux Battery Lesson Learned

    So itā€™s time to replace the batteries- getting the ā€œAux 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! Thereā€™s no aux battery! No wires dangling, just a nice empty cavity great...
  6. ZF8 50K Mile Transmission Service -- DIY How-To Instructions

    Great info throughout. Thereā€™s 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 Iā€™d like to have a solid game plan if anyone has...
  7. Real world, loss of warranty due to modifications.

    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...
  8. Let's see those 2-Door JL pics!

    Itā€™s always a happy day when the JL is in its natural environment šŸ˜.
  9. Solved: Clunk in front end when sway bar connected

    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...
  10. Do You Mind Getting Trail Scratches?

    First application of ā€œdesert 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 didnā€™t kiss the...
  11. 2021 Rubicon XR mods and stuff

    Awesome build thread. Ideas, info, and humor. Very fun to follow. Then just when I thought it couldnā€™t get much better, it did! Itā€™s comforting to know we have the same security system for our Jeeps šŸ˜‰.
  12. The Lowly 2 door Sport Club!

    Kudos to ā€œthe lowly 2-dr Sport.ā€ Iā€™ve been making some runs with Rubicons on some pretty challenging trails, and the the sport has hung in there with the ā€œbig boys.ā€ Even without lockers or 37-39ā€ tires, it performs like a champ. Itā€™s also kinda fun being the underdog on a trail run.
  13. What did you do WITH your Jeep today.

    Great day. Kabba Mine, Moss Wash, Gold King Mansion.
  14. What did you do to your 2dr today?

    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.
  15. Tire Deflators

    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.
  16. Will my tires rub?

    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.
  17. HELP... Tapping in an aux light - fried something?

    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.
  18. What did you do to your 2dr today?

    Good day for a few simple projects. Rustyā€™s rear LCA skids, Metalcloak 1ā€ bump stop, muffler delete.
