  1. Rubicon rear bumper end caps misaligned

    That could probably be adjusted out by loosening the bumper bracket bolts and shifting the bumper to align it. It would go much easier with 2 people, and if you attempt it, park on a level surface.
  2. Jackstands on front or level ground for oil change 3.6L?

    PS: Prior to the oil change, the level was right at the full mark after sitting overnight.
  3. Jackstands on front or level ground for oil change 3.6L?

    My 3.6 JLU pan looks like it would drain very well with the front wheels raised any reasonable amount. There may be other spaces in the block valley and heads that would drain better if the vehicle was level. I've never seen a disassembled 3.6. I'd check the oil, and top it up to full if...
  4. 2018 3.6L JLU charging voltage question

    . It could be, and it could be either battery or some other issue. If your battery set is original in an '18 model, I'd strongly suspect an issue with one or the other battery. If you have a trickle charger, you might use it overnight or longer, and then take a drive of a few miles and see...
  5. What would a used 3.6L motor and trans fetch?

    Dunno, but one of those interconnected wrecking yards could probably give you a retail market price. I think many of them have online sales and you can get a feel for what, for instance, a right rear door for a 2012 Silverado, or a late model Jeep power plant goes for. They won't pay that, of...
  6. Car/Jeep Swap

    ...Wouldn't go there.
  7. Jeepers unite to extract Jeep stuck on cliff of a bike trail

    Best stay off designated bike and hiking trails in any motor vehicle, dirt bike, Jeep, e-bike, whatever.
  8. V8 Wrangler Rubicon 392 Concept drive review by MotorTrend

    Smokey Yunick did some work years back, attempting to build an engine that could run at very high combustion chamber temperatures. He was attemping to use ceramic pistons, among other things. Apparently it didn't go anywhere. But with better lubricants and DI, something along that line might...
  9. Jeep JL/JLU water fording question

    Not likely. Even if the seals kept water out, which they probably would not, water would enter through the drain holes at the bottom of the doors and taillgate and perhaps around the lower door hinge attachment point. Some water gets into these spaces when washing the vehicle and driving in rain...
  10. Steering Service Bulletin Denied - Advice Please

    A dealership has substantial ongoing costs that accrue whether shop space, employees, and equipment are generating net profit or not. It's very easy to go broke running an auto dealership.
  11. Steering Service Bulletin Denied - Advice Please

    Shop rates are not tech pay rates.
  12. Unknown electric plug

    If everything works on the vehicle, I wouldn't worry about the plug. Unused plugs are not uncommon on modern vehicles. Some have dummy plugs to protect them from dirt, and some don't. If the location you pulled the 30 A fuse from has no wires, it may be that that fuse is a spare. A spare fuse...
  13. Back window won’t stay up

    I used to have an 04 Dodge diesel. On a cool morning, you could raise the hood and go about checking the oil, washer fluid, etc, and the hood/grille would slowly and silently descend until you found yourself almost trapped. I'm fairly tall, and was able to lift the hood/grille off myself and...
  14. TACTICAL URBAN VEHICLE. Thoughts?

    Take a perfectly good Jeep.... and spend a fortune morphing it into the Crossover From Hell.... why?
  15. Jeep Accessories - Any that are NOT made in China?

    The chain store model is very hard on local, individual and family owned business. That's been true since the days of Big Bear, almost a century ago.
  16. Jeep Accessories - Any that are NOT made in China?

    A lot of those slaves are getting rich. Luxury cars sell very well in China.
  17. Rust by left door hinge

    Yes. It's very common.
  18. Bubbles in Paint at Door Hinges

    If they don't, that's a serious problem. I'd take one of mine off and look, but I can't do that without damaging the paint around the bolts and where the hinge meets the door skin surface. I don't have any bubbling, yet, but that's probably due to my location and vehicle history. (2018 red JLU...
  19. 10 days old 2021 Rubicon with check engine light! Please advise!!

    It could well be that the gas jockey may have not tightened the cap enough. I had issues with the CEL coming on every few days on an old, high mileage Chevrolet pickup. The gas cap felt worn and loose. I bought an aftermarket replacement cap and the next time the CEL light went off, it stayed...
