will my Comeup Seal slim 9.5 RS fit in the stock steel bumper? I had to sell my JLU Jeep quick last year and loved the VKS Informant top winch mount bumper with hoop. I didn’t have another bumper to swap on before selling. Unfortunately, the owner closed VKS down to pursue other ventures. It...

O2E1-Review of Clifton Road on the Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway

I’ve had dozens and dozens of vehicles. I’m a formerly trained high performance automotive machinist and former aircraft maintenance tech in the Air Force. I’ve been a car guy since a teenager. Dipstick reading is elementary but this 2.0 dipstick is sloppy and keeps me guessing. What’s so...

I don’t usually ask opinions but this minor cosmetic emblem thing is something I need another point of view on. See pic below. So I’ve got a 19 Sahara. The emblems and the Wrangler decal have always annoyed me, not individually, but all three don’t match from the factory. The Sahara emblem is...

I have a Genright Aluminum Bumper/winch plate I just took off. All hardware included to install. Due to space constraints on my install, you may want to order new nut plates as I had to modify but it’s not required. Per GR recommendation, if you want to refresh it, they say to use a scotch brite...

Budget Platform for sleeping in the Jeep. I’m 5’11” tall and with a Trailgater tailgate table, my head hung over the top of the folded down back seat in my JLU. Here’s what I’ve come up with. I threw down the 2” thick Thermarest and it was good to go. And it folds up out of the way. It all...

I may be late to something here. I came to look it up and it’s no longer there. It had all the bolt torque specs. The only thing I wasn’t sure of was the 2.0 engine specific fasteners as I suspected it was, by default, for the 3.6.

Anyone have leads on these for a JLU? I’ll be sleeping in mine for the time being and I’d like to block the light out decently.

It seems the torque spec thread is missing or I’m unable to access it right now. I went to Fastenal’s site and used their chart to arrive at 70 in lbs for a 6mm major diameter 8.8 bolt but I’d rather have the official spec handy. Anyone have it? Thanks

For those who have some first hand knowledge, I could use your feedback on which way to go. I have a new VKS bumper coming in and it’s bare steel. I had a painted steel bumper on a Dodge Dakota RT once. Like fascia’s, the paint chipped but then the rust comes soon after and then you’re chasing...

I’m thinking I’ll go ahead and buy some since I’m at 52k miles. Any pointers for this particular engine? Thanks

I’m looking at this one. https://www.artecindustries.com/nighthawk-bumper-front?gclid=Cj0KCQjw8_qRBhCXARIsAE2AtRZVWEDtjoDQS6D7KP3cQgTnQcs_agvnOAWo2b8VYk-BdS1pIow-9SQaAuoNEALw_wcB I like that the winch is more accessible and a little higher up to enable that. I do want to try to call to get one...

I’m considering one of their winches. Chris Shontz of Venture4wd seems to infrequently use his since he purchased it, which is a plus if it’s deployable when you rarely need it. Other than a YouTuber, does anyone have first hand knowledge of them?

So one of the only parts installs I farm out besides the locker and gear installs, they screw up and obviously either forget to install them or they backed off due to no thread locker. Anyone have one of those bolts laying around to measure so I can run to Fastenal and do it right this time...

Going though some muck this weekend, it’s a packed mess and hard to clean out the recessed winch that failed me. Since I need to replace the winch, I’ll swap the bumper too. A short bull bar would be nice just in case I just need to hang some lights or even the line temporarily. (Until I can...

I re-spooled at the end of July. At the time it acted up a bit like it needed to be worked loose. We fed it back and forth engaged and it cleared up. After a rollover that happened in front of me, the dead controller was resolved by plugging in the charging cord but after the winch was...

https://rebeloffroad.com/next-venture-motorsports-jeep-jl-flush-taillight-housings/ I have the basic lighting. I’ve never given a thought to changing them until I happened across these.

Rubicon suspension up front with 3/4 spacer. The rear has “1” Synergy springs. I do carry considerable weight on our trips and the Jeep appears to have a factory rake when loaded so in that circumstance, I’m unsure if longer than stock shocks are needed. Correct? Really, I’m looking for a...

Progressive says they only have a contract with Safelite auto glass and they do not source gorilla glass. They wouldn’t even let me speak to an adjuster to even offer to pay the difference. I prefer to shop for a company that did not need any additional money to pay for the difference in the...
