    Jeep weight.

    Does anybody keep an eye on this when doing mods or loading up for a trip? I recently went on a week long camping trip and began to wonder how much my jeep weighed. No scales handy, so I added up all my mods by either using the manufacturers claimed, what I could weigh and best guess. Then...

    Muffler and resonator from other marques?

    Let me explain. I have a '15 JKU and every once in a while wish that it had a good sounding exhaust. I know it will never sound like a Hemi, but I haven't heard very many V-6 engines that to me sounded good. I have heard a few Ferrari Dinos that had V6 and sounded darn good and then there are...

    Heating food on your engine.

    Heated a pie for dinner on our last camping trip. Who else does this and what are your secret reciepies? It was wrapped in foil before we put it on the enging right after we parked and set up camp. Didn't want it crunchy from dust or smelling like oil or gas.

    Hot floor in the back of JKU. Reloacate muffler?

    So, on a recent camping trip I noticed that my ice was melting faster that I thought it should and found that the floor was really hot. Some of it will be from the heat from the engine, but a lot seems to be coming from the from radiant heat from the muffler. The bottom of the ice chest quite...

    Two way radios?

    My brother and I have CB radios in our jeeps and on our last camping trip it became clear that the CBs just don't have the range or clarity that we needed, so I am wondering what you guys and gals are using? I have started looking at UHF/VHF and some Ham stuff, but am wondering what works best...

    Increase fuel capacity on '15 JKU

    My brother and I spent 5 days camping in the Arizona Strip in our 2015 JKU Sports last week and one of the issues we had was running low on fuel and having to make the 60 plus mile round trip into Fredonia to refuel in order to continue our trip. So I am wondering what everybody here is using to...

    Painting the hard top white?

    It was 114 here recently and the inside of the roof right above my head was almost too hot to touch with the back of my hand. So I am looking for ways to help cool it down inside. I already have the materials for making an insulated head liner, but was also looking at the enormous black solar...

    2007-2016 Jeep Wrangler Mopar Heavy Duty Ball Joint Kit - P5160059

    Does anybody know who makes these? I am beginning to think that my bjs are getting worn and am beginning to look for replacement/upgrades and ran across these. Price is about $200 or so and I might be able to get a discount so was wondering if they would be worth it, or should I just keep...

    Differences between 08-11 and 12-18 JKU fuel systems?

    Like the question says, what is different. I found a Long Range Aux tank kit locally for the 08-11 JKU and I have a 15 JKU Sport. Any info on what is different and if the kit for the earlier JKU would even fit, or what I might have to buy to get it to work? Thanks for the info. Steve

    Who manufactures the Oscar Mike bumper for FCA?

    This one is metal, and I am guessing that you mean the plastic bumper like on my sport.

    Who manufactures the Oscar Mike bumper for FCA?

    Like the title says, who makes the bumper for Jeep? I have a 2015 JKU sport and want to put a winch on it and have found a take off from a 2018 OM JKU for a decent price and was wondering if it was worth the price. Might be able to get it with all mounting hardware and LED fogs for between 2-3...

    Differences between 17" JKU Sport and 17" Rubi wheels?

    So, I am thinking about getting new wheels for my '15 JKU Sport with the 17 Alloy wheels and have seen quite a few Rubi wheel sets for sale on CL and it got me to wondering if they would be any kind of an upgrade. Are their dimensions different or they any lighter than what I have on the Jeep...

    Back seat removal?

    So on my last camping trip I realized how much space the back seat takes up in my '15 JKU. Has any body removed theirs and come up with some kind of storage solution for better utilization of that space? In my '97 TJ I was able to build something that had shelves and also had a flat space for...

    How long did your stock shocks last?

    Like the title says, how long did they last? I have a '15 JKU Sport that is 18 months old with 16.5k miles and a fair amount off road on mostly fire roads and some sand and rocks. No mods and the 17" rims with the Goodyear Wranglers. Last month I noticed that my left rear shock body was wet with...
