  1. Do I need new ball joints?

    This is what I've done for my YJ. I presume it's the same technique for the JL since a ball joint is a ball joint.
  2. My Jeep hates gas pumps

    I have this issue with my YJ. I noticed that sometimes you need to push the nozzle in for it to go. I heard that there's an extra actuator that needs to be pushed in for it to start pumping. Maybe try that?
  3. i thought i was safe (corrosion)

    Yeah, those bolts that hold the hinges on have to drive into something. I presume there's a jiggly plate on the back of the door with threads or a nut welded.
  4. i thought i was safe (corrosion)

    What about the nuts? I know I'm going down the rabbit hole here... I guess you can use anti-seize on the bolts...
  5. i thought i was safe (corrosion)

    How big of a deal is it to wire wheel the paint off and use some touch up paint? I'm at the point of wondering if it's worth my jeep being in for service for a month vs me spending a few hours doing it.
  6. Silver Lake Jeep Invasion 2024

    Bringing your kids is safe but you need to be smart. I bring my 9 and 12 year old and never had an issue. You just can't have your kids roaming around on the dunes while vehicles are flying around. The beach area is roped off so you don't have to worry about vehicles down at the beach. You...
  7. Anyone going to Silver Lake Michigan Jeep Invasion this year??

    I'm skipping it this year. I went last year and it was just OK. To me, it was like any other weekend except they had vendors selling stuff. It was also confusing on what the invasion fee was for because you still had to have the stickers to get on the dunes and there was still everybody on...
  8. Looking for fellow off-road people in Indiana

    I'm over in Illinois and there's not a whole lot out here besides Redbird and the badlands. Occasionally a group of us from the Chicago area will spend the day at the badlands. We all met through a facebook group. If you want, PM me and I'll send you the name of the two groups that...
  9. Differential oil change

    The TDS for 592 says for maximum solvent resistance allow the product to cure a minimum of 24 hours. It also says it's immediate low pressure sealing, which I would say the diff is. Is gear oil a solvent? When I think solvent I think paint thinner and such. Maybe gear oil would be...
  10. Differential oil change

    I don't know if it's 592 I used or the Permatex 59235 one that I used. The problem I have with them is that there's a dry time involved...in particular, I think it was 24 hours before filling. So I have to drain, apply the liquid thread sealant, wait a day, fill, apply the liquid thread...
  11. Offroad Beginner "Training" in WI?

    I've never been, but I've heard about Tigerton. https://www.tigertonwi.com/campground-atv-park The other closest place is probably Badlands in Attica, IN, but that's going to be a drive for you. You can also probably hop on a ferry and visit a few in Michigan. Silver Lakes Sand Dunes are...
  12. Steel Steering Box Question

    Doesn't the swap to the steel gear box require a PCM update? I thought I read that in the TSB but maybe not. Something to look into...
  13. Power steering fluid

    Do you have any references for this? I haven't seen this anywhere and 2 years/40k seems a bit early....and I would be overdue. I would imagine nobody changes the fluid in here as well.
  14. Jeep Connect Is High Priced - Does Anybody Really Pay This?

    ~$15/month is kind of pricey for the app so I don't subscribe. However, if you think about it, the jeep would require a cell connection. *MOST* cheapest cell service connections are between $10 to $15/month. Just a different look on the price. Maybe it's less Jeep's fault and more AT&T (or...
  15. Oil Filter Torqueing Question

    I'm not exactly sure how that will benefit our situation. I believe the part that cracks off sits lower than the cap. If anything, maybe the plastic bolthead that you put the socket on lasts longer...but that plastic is pretty hard. I would also be afraid that the aluminum would heat up the...
  16. When did Wranglers start getting fuel injection and computers?

    I have a 1994 YJ that's fuel injected. As others have said, 1990 was the last year for a carb. It's common for capacitors to stop working on the YJ computer. There's many repair services out there that will swap yours out or replace the capacitors on them. This may be your issue if you are...
  17. 3.6L V6 24V VVT eTorque Curious

    I love mine, but who knows what happens after 80k or 8 years. I think it's a bad sign when the refill reservoirs can't be opened without some finagling. I'm starting to get the feeling that vehicles are only meant to last 100k miles and we're paying subscription fees in terms of the loan or...
  18. Best Pressure Gauge?

    A lot of the ones at big box stores are incredibly WAY off. I was surprised. I have a Joe's Racing analog gauge that was expensive for me but seems to be pretty accurate. I also have an AstroAI digital tire inflator with digital pressure gauge. The AstroAI one is pretty close to the Joe's...
  19. Loose Steering - Vehicle Wanders On Hardtop(2024 Sahara) - gimme your likely fixes in order…

    Hello! I was wondering if you have any updates or if you brought your Jeep in.
  20. MEK magnetic body armor kit?

    I have it. Overall, I'm happy with it but it was a lot of money. The owner was responsive to work with and was really down to earth. I'll be honest here... Yes, I am glad I bought it. I do drive through some tight trails that would had scratched the jeep. I ended up scratching the MEK...
