  1. Spark Plugs - To Anti-Seize or Not

    I've learned something new today. Never knew that NGK recommends no anti seize - I'd have to check other manufactures, but I'm guessing they might be similar. Also good to know about not using dielectric grease on the boots, but a teflon bases grease is recommended instead, well at least for...
  2. What Grease Are You Using?

    I assume these are aftermarket pieces as I don't recall any zirc fittings on the OEM components. Anyway, years ago I bought the Lucas red 'n' tacky grease to repack CV joints, driveshaft splines and general zirc fitting for ball joints and tie rod ends. I have no complaints with it - and back...
  3. Toyota guys be like…

    Haha! Those solar guys turn away when I tell them we have a 75 year old tile roof that I have no intention of replacing.
  4. JEEP JLU Rubicon Power Steering Fluid

    The Mopar power steering +4 is compatible with their ATF +4. CHF electric power steering fluid is not compatible with any ATF, so my vote is to flush and fill with the correct CHF fluid. @Bandit59 brings up a good point, if you are having to frequently top off, then find the leak as these are...
  5. To Dealer or Not-to-Dealer. That is the question.

    This bolt was intended to be removed as the hardtop is a factory removable piece. Therefore the bolts that hold the hardtop down are subject to repeated removal with the OEM supplied tool. Just tell them you wanted to remove the hardtop and discovered the stripped bolt. Don't even bring up the...
  6. Emergency brake popping sound

    Where does the sounds seem to come from? From the video it almost sounds like under the center console. I ask because I had a popping sound which was from the outside but still loud in the cabin. I traced it back to the parking brake lever that comes out the back of the right rear rotor. It was...
  7. Do I Need to Regear a Manual Sport for 33's?

    I feel that the 3.45 gears are too tall for *any* tire size on the JL. They Willys comes with 32" and while it is drivable I think it would be better paired with at least the 4.10. But with that said, it would certainly be drivable on 33". You probably would only use 6th gear at 75mph going...
  8. TO WINCH OR NOT TO WINCH

    If you can't commit to a full winch system, you might consider something like the Wyeth-Scott puller. It can also be outfitted with synthetic rope. If you get a couple pulleys, rig up a double pulley system and it will haul most anything a winch can. Since it is not permanently attached, you can...
  9. Doing my first 19a Clutch recall today

    I'm in agreement that Luk knows how to build a clutch set. They build them for many OEM applications, but have to follow the manufactures' specs. That is who built the one in my GTO, and when I replaced it at 150K miles for a worn pilot bearing, I chose an OEM Luk clutch set over an aftermarket...
  10. Question about interior heating...

    As Flip mentioned, I would check coolant level first. If it is low enough it won't circulate well enough through the heater core. If the level is fine, I would consider a coolant flush even though you don't have that many miles on it. While you are doing the flush, I would also backflush the...
  11. Purpose of Euro bumper inserts

    @azwjowner Now that I think about it, I think it was just the Willys that did away with the inserts, but the Sport retained them, as you mentioned having those on your 2022.
  12. Purpose of Euro bumper inserts

    At first I thought it was an efficiency thing for better airflow and MPG (or L/100KM). But then I read later, as others have pointed out, it is a regulation that in many EU countries there cannot be any exposed areas around the wheel - the fender to bumper clearly violates that and so the insert...
  13. Windshield rests/washer nozzles - denting or cupping in hood at mount points

    I always thought the indent was from when my wife stepped on the hood rests... ...let me explain... The first year we got the Jeep we went up to the Bantam Festival. We participated in the parade ride that goes through Butler, PA, so while we were staged out in a field with all the other...
  14. Mopar Tailgate Integrated Air compressor

    This reminds me of the old 9C1 Caprice with the option of having a gasoline nozzle under the hood for cars stranded that ran out of gas. A lot of Ohio state patrols ordered this option, but mine from PA did not. It was an interesting feature, but I guess nowadays with gas prices as they are and...
  15. Right or Wrong?

    I'm going to take the stance and say it is not the fault of these 4xe units that were handed their lot in life as rentals. They deserve a duck like any other Wrangler.
  16. Gladiator in top 10 safest pickups

    Oh how I wished for GM to bring the Holden Ute to the States, but sadly Holden is no more. I assume the Gladiator has those additional anti-roll brackets that have been added to the Wrangler within the last year or 2?
  17. Mopar All weather mat drain fitment

    I actually wrapped the plug on the mat with electrical tape, though if I had friction tape I'd probably have used that. The extra width from a few wraps seemed to make a tighter fit when I pushed the plug into the floorpan.
  18. ~7 seconds before idling wastes fuel?

    The goal wasn't meant to save the individual owner much, it was set up as an entire fleet savings and emission reduction. I normally turn this off, but will turn it on if I know I'll be at a long light or stopped for considerable time.
  19. Offroad tires going away? WTF! [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    I can't believe you brought this up! I can't stand those "safety" gas canisters either. I still use my 20+ year old cans with a normal spout. The only way I use the "safety" can is by unscrewing the entire nozzle and pouring the gas straight out.
  20. Jack Stand Choice for a Stock JL: Safety vs Money vs Convenience

    I have 2 sizes of the first style you showed and have not had any failures with either set. The biggest problem with those is that the feet will sink into asphalt on a hot summer day. The bottom pair you showed have much larger surface area and less likely to sink into soft asphalt. I just put a...
