    Steering stabilizer - Old Man Emu?

    I’m looking for something that will help sturdy up my steering wheel when driving on I70 in Colorado. I have a 2017 JKU with a Metalcloak 2.5 in lift (looks more like 3.5), and 33x12.5 KO2 E rated tires. You can definitely feel the wind in the mountains of Colorado and bumps make it a little...

    Weird ear pressure going over bumps

    So last week I did a long 8 hour drive out and back and notice a change since being home. Going 50/60 mph over a mildly bumpy road creates the same weird ear pressure sensation as when you’re on the highway with just one window cracked open. This is happening with the windows closed. Any idea on...

    Soundbar speaker help

    I have the 9 speaker alpine system in my jk 2017. The overhead speaker on the driver side is starting to make a rattling noise when there’s a certain level of bass. When I put pressure on the middle of it with my finger it goes away. Tried tightening the screws because I thought it might have...

    Door Hinge caps

    I ended up buying some rubber washers from ace hardware. Seem to fit just fine. I think they’ll wear from the door rotating eventually but a super cheap fix for that gap

    Marking your bolts...actual technique or BS

    So I just took my Jeep in to get my lift kit tightened down and adjusted and feel I might’ve gotten screwed. Jeep came back worse than before. My front drivers side was crooked going in and still is. The passengers side spring was crooked and still was when I got it back, and my steering wheel...

    Door Hinge caps

    Recently I put in some new door hinge inserts and knocked out the old rusted metal ones. Works great for easily putting on/taking off doors. However now my door hinge nuts won’t screw in all the way leaving a gap. I’m ok with leaving the nuts out for the summer time, but the winter driving in...

    Time for a lift...

    So it’s time to upgrade from the stock JKU lift and shocks. I have some KO2s that are 33s and 12.5 wide. Looking for a good 2.5 in lift that would be great as mostly a daily but can also handle trails like Fins N Things. I’m set on Fox shocks. My brother in law has a lift from metal cloak he’s...

    Door water leak after changing door inserts

    I recently got some plastic inserts to replace the rusted out inserts in my door hinges. Of course, this involved quite a bit of hammering and having to adjust the hinges several times. Eventually got it right, but I’m noticing the plastic inserts are a touch thicker than the middle ones so it’s...

    Help on new tires

    I’m finally getting some upgrades on my JKU. Recently got some new rims and now getting tires. Curious what people’s thoughts on E rated tires. I’m really in love with the BFG KO2 at 33x12.5x17 but it only comes in the E rating. My brother in law as the same tire and has no problems. I like the...

    Door hinges

    Does anyone have recommendations on how to keep your door hinges fluid for easy removal? Mine have gotten stuck twice now and I had to use wd40 to get them out and not sure if that’s the greatest way. I’m putting them back in tonight Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

    Clutch less shifting

    Does anyone have a good resource/YouTube video on how to do clutchless shifting? Even with my clutch replaced, seems to make a little creaking noise when it gets hot after 5000 miles and the mechanic is telling me this is normal with Jeep clutches. Just trying to find ways to extend the life on...

    Wheel/Tire size question

    I’m looking to upgrade my wheels this summer in my 2017 JKU sport S. I’m looking to get a 17x9 wheel and trying to figure out backspacing. I’d like my wheels to pop out a little bit, so I’m thinking maybe 4.5 or 4.25 backspacing. Would I be able to fit a 12.5in tire on either of those? Looking...

    Help with noise on take off

    I have a 2017 JKU manual transmission with about 30k miles on it. It’s recently made this weird kind of clunk/shift noise from the undercarriage when I take off in first (inconsistent). I think it started when I drove around a 16ft trailer attached to the hitch. Every time I took off, sounded...
