    Spurious emission on 146.400

    I run a ham radio and our simplex channel for the weekend was 146.400 MHz Apparently my 2013 JK transmits or somehow causes interference in or around this frequency. Boosting squelch on my HT didn't seem to help much. It seems to be an issue particularly when I open the doors. Any thoughts...

    Daystar A-pilllar pod on 2013?

    Looking for alternatives to above the rear view mirror... Would this a-pillar pod fit on a 2013 JK? Description says 2007-10. :\ http://www.quadratec.com/products/97015_0000.htm

    NSG370 Capacity

    Changed my fluid at 29k. Fluid had a bit of life left, but not a lot, so I was glad I did. I pulled out about 1.5 quarts, and then inserted 2 quarts. The dealer said I'd need less (and only had two quarts to sell me). The two quarts didn't overflow out. So uh... what's the NSG370 *optimal*...

    Competition/Rock Crawler Line of Winches - Input Please

    Newb question time! How many pounds pull is a bad spot? Can I (with some effort) find myself in a situation which maxes a 12k lb 2-1 pull? Any idea roughly how much force Evo1 to the mirrors in mud would be? For me it would be weight savings, but I'm sure many would consider the cost...

    Competition/Rock Crawler Line of Winches - Input Please

    So assuming you're proficient in z-rigs, and MA systems... Why not get a lower capacity (cheaper and lighter!) winch with double the rope length? (and perhaps some more in the cab)

    DIY Spod- Waytekwire

    Pulled the trigger on parts. I'll try to mention any issues with the writeup I come across. :) Am I looking for any particular *quality* of wire from the car audio store? Heat resistant, brand, etc? Any decent quality Amazon suggestions so I don't have to leave the couch? :D Here's what...

    Never rotated till now + drivetrain?

    I see folks selling "4 50% tires and one NEVAAR touched the ground!" all the time. How bad for your drivetrain is adding that 100% tire to rotation at that point? (I'm a diligent rearward-cross guy, just thinking about buying some used tires)

    Least modifications to fit 35s?

    Stock JKUR. I'd like to move up to 35's. In the long term I'll be looking at a (subtle) quality suspension setup... but in the short term I want to slowly work in that direction while keeping my center of gravity low and changing the vehicle dynamics as little as possible. Change one thing...

    2013 JKUR manual - Cruise and ESP issues?

    Am I the only one experiencing these bugs/features? Cruise: I'll be cruising along a nice boring flat/straight/level freeway at 79mph and cruise will suddenly disengage for no reason. Thoughts? It sure wakes you up! Traction Control: I've been able to kick in the ESP/TC protection doing two...

    "Easy" electrical questions

    I've searched and searched but I'm not having any luck. Maybe I'm just not using the right terms and you guys could point me to some definitive information? I'd like to hardwire power for both my iPhone (5 volts x 1 amp = 5 watts) and a dash-cam (presumably slightly less consumption) Since...

    On owning a jeep - the stuff your parents never told you

    If you're haunting forums (like I did) prior to buying a jeep, this is intended perhaps to set your expectations, or at least attune you to the quirks of Wrangler ownership Setup: I bought a 2013 Unlimited Rubicon 5000 miles ago, I came from a 1991 Towncar, but spent many moons in the desert in...

    Freeway of doom, uphill, with a manual

    Anyone ever snap, mumble "Screw it!" then grab for low range? One day I just might go for the granny... gears be damned. How bad would it be... really...? What's your strangest/stupidest application of low range?

    Cerro Gordo / Death Valley conditions?

    Taking the new (stock) Rubicon for a little desert exploration... Solo vehicle. I need some guidance getting from The Racetrack in Death Valley up to Cerro Gordo: 1) Do you think Lippencott Mine Rd would present any problems or should I stick to Hidden Valley and exiting through the South...
