So the issue has been discovered!! About 2 months ago I was pretty rough on it in the snow and noticed a loss in power afterwards. I didnāt think it was connected to this most recent issue but now believe it is.
Finally the day of the dealership appt. has rolled around. I am less than 3 years...
So the issue has been discovered!! Only took 2 monthsā¦I decided to ignore the loss of power and sum it up to a rough day in the snow. Since then Iāve gone out quite a bit and got it pretty muddy. Anyways..I was driving to work and it went into limp mode less than a mile away short trip to auto...
May have figured out a solution for the time being! I took it to a parts store to have the codes read and it drove just fine there and back and only showed the check engine light. The codes were P0017 and P061A so one for the camshaft position and the other for the ICM torque performance...
I was driving to work got on the freeway so I was going 55-80 for miles got off at the exit drive about 2-3 miles going 35ish then I hear the service auto start/stop light come on. Ok thatās fine itāll probably clear. Then as Iām slowing down to turn left at a light the throttle control light...
I think Iāll go with the Lynx adjustable arms and the Teraflex front and rear adjustable track bars seem to be the best option. On quadratec the only dual rate springs I see are 2.5ā by super lift so Iāll have to keep looking
Alright so Iāll take the spacers out put new dual rate springs, adjustable front and rear track bars, get a control arm kit (adjustable, fixed, or long?), shocks for a 3.5ā lift and I think thatās it unless I want to upgrade the steering components I guess.
Sounds good! I like the idea of putting together my own suspension lift rather than buying one with parts I donāt like. I have the Teraflex quick disconnects which fit a range of lift sizes so those should be good for a little while. I just donāt know how much of a lift keeping the 2.5ā spacers...
Thanks for the info! Iām hoping for a 3.5ā lift in the future so if itās around there with the 1.5ā springs thatās great but it sounds like that requires me to get a track bar and adjustable lower control arms. I say 3.5ā because it it dragged so much in deep snow I had a friend strap me and...
I havenāt even looked into it yetā¦ I just know I need dual rate because I drive it daily and need it to be pretty capable off-road. It really depends on what I need to go with the shocks and if itāll work with the 2.5ā rough country spacers I have
I guess Iāll call a few shops to ask them if they have an idea of what to do. So far Iām thinking of getting lightly used rubicon shocks and buying new dual rate springs and keeping the spacers in so the lift height shouldnāt change too much unless the springs are much longer I guess..The point...
Just a little side note I got in my Jeep this morning to a puddle of waterā¦
And thatās the carpet flooring not my mat..Iāll be pulling the drain plug if I can find it. I hear thereās a cutout in the carpet and itās underneath.
Donāt you mean lady? Haha
Thatās pretty impressive I wish I had the space and knowledge to build one myself! A lot of my family were/are machinists and I work for a metal cutting tool distributor so I definitely have access and maybe one day š¤
Looks pretty serious! I still have to drive mine to work daily and afford food so I canāt get too crazy š Once I upgrade the suspension a little and order the bumpers I finally found (less than 100lb each!) then get inner fenders and fender flares Iāll be done for a little while š
Thanks! Now is that 1.5ā in addition to the 2.5ā I already have from the spacer lift? Sounds like springs and shocks are all I need so maybe Iāll just take the guys shocks since I hear the JT springs are too long for the JL. Iām thinking Iāll have to find some dual rate springs but Iām not sure...
This was really helpful for me to see! I have to ask.. why did you get springs for a 1-1.5ā lift instead of a 2-2.5ā lift since the rubicon is about 2ā? Do you have any idea where he got the adapters so the shocks could be mounted?
I have a 2.5ā spacer lift from rugged ridge so Iām thinking...
