I like my Diver Down covers from Quadratec. Had a set on my JK and now on my JL. They clean up nice and are perfect for my dog but as others said about neoprene, they get warm, especially in the summer.
Also important to know, some cover up the armrest build into the backseat. I don't have...
If you just want to run 35s and just drive it on the road mostly, you could get away with a set of rubicon style fender flares and some wheels that have less backspacing and not have to worry about ride quality changing too much. If you want a bit better performance off-road, a lift is a better...
I think it would work, there's a bit more room to go up. the top of the tent is almost level with the top of my jeep, that would probably be the highest it could go but that's just a guess. Rightline uses an elastic band that secures the tunnel to the jeep that goes around the body. In my...

the website i used to determine what gears to go with my tire size. Select all options that apply in the drop-down menus and out in your current gear ratio and tire size then play with the ratios and tire sizes.
I like my 5.13s with 37s. I live in a hilly area so the little bit of extra gearing helps me personally. That and I plan to run bigger tires when my current tires are worn.
Yeah I feel that, my friends made fun of me when I ordered my lift kit and bumpers before even having my JLU and then regearing it with 1000 miles on it...
Its still goofy in a rubicon with 4.10s. When I was stock, I never used 6th, when I ran into any grade I would have to immediately downshift. I "fixed" the gear spread issue by going to 5.13s with my 37s which is a bit of over grearing for the tire size (I have plans for 40s later on)...
Thanks man. I went with the 2.5 mainly because where I wheel the trails are tight mostly and have a fair amount of low branches so a bit lower helps me personally. Having the rubicon fender flares is also a plus for running bigger tires later since they can be disassembled (fender chop) or run...
Been chasing down a steering issue since July...factory tie rod ends and drag link ends were a bit sloppy, now upgraded to Rusty's steering system which eliminated the loose steering for a week or so. Found the track bar mount on the axle side was wallowed out, grabbed a teraflex track bar...
I'm definitely interested in your long-term experience with the Dana ball joints, I went with the synergy replacements personally and am installing them tomorrow. As far as wearables, there's so many factors that go into how long the part last, I'm just hoping to get more than 6k out of the...
UPDATE: 250miles into the gear break-in period (500miles, nothing above 60mph). Current fuel mileage is at 16.8mpg which is what I was getting stock. As far as rpm, 2nd through 4th is a bit higher but it makes driving around town at 30-35mph a lot nicer and not lugging it around in 4th or...
So from my experience driving the JL in my area, I anticipated the hills were going to be an issue with gear selection. That being said, I've only used 6th a handful of times on the thruway, which leads me to the one problem I have with the Asin 6 speed FCA elected to use over the old NSG370 in...
Regear, truss, and gusset install was finally done last Thursday, got the time to install the axles over the weekend. Overall, I'm very happy with choosing 5.13s over 4.88s. Defiantly make driving hills a bit easier with the slightly deeper gear rather than matching the stock ratio. The next...
