I have had it with my drive by wire on my Jeep. I've never had it on a vehicle before, and it is impossible with a manual transmission. Perhaps it would be better without the 'dead' spot, but i'm not happy with it. If i have the 3.8L engine, and no electronics not even cruise control, and i...

Running the soft top in the winter has its' drawbacks, but I'm happy about it today. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

I just got my ham radio license over the weekend and i have a Yaesu FT60-R mobile transceiver. I am looking for advice on the best mobile antenna for the VHF/UHF bands to get mounted opposite my CB antenna on the spare tire mount. Trying to avoid the magnetic mount since it couldn't go on the...

I am trying to install a new head unit in my jeep, and i had to buy that ridiculously overpriced harness that came without the SWC, VSS control box. My question is, if I do not have Steering Wheel Controls, nor a premium sound system, do i need that control box? If I need that control box...

In my never ending struggle with keeping my jeep salt free, i have decided to go get some factory splash guards. I am very impressed with them as they are very large, especially the front ones. And the performance is great. Before i installed them, the BFG Mud Terrains would throw salt all...

Jeep Sticker Smaller Than I Thought I ordered some AMC Jeep logo stickers to put on my coffee mug or laptop and they have arrived. This is the first time this has happened to me, but i ordered these stickers believing they were around 3 inches or so across since the picture in the ad was very...

Found this video last night that describes some of the most fascinating engine designs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRHDqwj8OpE Tinkerers are those who can think about old objects in new ways, improving, testing, and evaluating. Just like working on a Jeep.

I recently purchased a 23" light bar that has dual color, amber and white, and wanted to wire it into my Apollointech Overhead Switch Panel. But i wanted to wire the different colors to different switches so one switch would activate the amber and another would activate the white LEDs. The...

Just curious if anyone uses a towmotor to lift their jeep onto jack stands by putting the forks under the axles? The jack points seem to be on the axles anyway, and the jack stands only have a small surface area compared to the 6" widetow motor forks. Was planning on lifting the front and rear...

Hello, I'm still familiarizing myself with the forum and i couldn't find a search function, so if anyone can link to a thread about this i would appreciate it. My 2010 JK has a soft top, will it go through a car wash without soaking me? Also, does the car wash molest the fenders with the...

Hello all, finally found out how to wave on this forum. I just traded by '04 WRX for a 2010 Jeep Wrangler JK 2dr 6 spd 2 weeks ago and I absolutely love my Jeep. The 3.8L seems simpler and the NSG370 6 spd is very smooth. However, i would have put reverse where BMW puts theirs, next to 1st gear...

Hello everyone, I wanted to document my experience with this industrial anti corrosion coating called coal tar epoxy. I bought a JK 2dr two weeks ago, and then drove it to my warehouse and parked it. Then i spent a week underneath it applying this epoxy coating to the frame and up the rockers...
