Something even better came in the mail: This is a more easily reversible version of the Spicer FAD delete kit. Evidently, it's installed in lieu of the FAD unit on certain trims of the JL/JT (Willys, Rubicon, 392). Anyway, I managed to get a hold of one, but now I have to figure out what to...

I'm weighing my options on dealing with FAD on my Gladiator. I've already got a Spicer FAD delete kit, but I'd imagine a single piece axle shaft would be stronger overall. Is there a known option for a single piece axle shaft for the right hand side? My thought is, if I'm going to have to pull...

My Spicer FAD delete kit (10045078) came the other day, which I'm honestly surprised at, because it sounds like stock is spotty. I mostly bought it just to have it in case I want to do away with my FAD. I'd have preferred the OEM actuator cover with integrated fork (68547745AA), but it looks...

I'm enjoying my new '24 Gladiator Sport in Anvil Clearcoat. I've had a number of Jeeps over the years, the most recent being the '12 JKU I sold before this one (also YJs, ZJs, XJs, WJs, even a Commander). I like the updates, particularly the drivetrain, but handling and daily drivability are...

Hey folks, I'm looking to lean on your collective knowledge and experience again. I'll try to be as succinct as possible. Long story short, I bought my 2012 with a 3.25" RC lift kit I didn't ask for. Since then, I changed it to the following: - Removed the coil spring spacers (0.75") to reduce...

A few weeks back, I had my 2012 JKU brought in for an alignment. The tech there was recommended by the local 4x4 shop as "the guy" for this type of thing, especially for a lifted Jeep with a fully adjustable suspension like I have. Long story short, the alignment was performed and although the...

I've been appreciating all the great knowledge I've gained from the threads and my discussions in this forum. If I can lean on that knowledge base again, I'd sure appreciate it. Long story short, as some of you may know, the previous owner of my 2012 JKU installed a 3.25" Rough Country lift kit...

I've been spending some time down the rabbit hole and am getting the impression things aren't quite right with my rear end setup. Funny enough, I've had my Jeep at an 4x4 specialized alignment shop, multiple times, and a 4x4 shop, none of which said anything about how things were looking back...

Recently, I had installed an OEM Mopar dry block heater on my JKU. Unfortunately, it involved having the local shop repairing the threads that one of the AC compressor mounting bolts go into. They had to evacuate the system and remove the AC to perform the repair. I hadn't really driven it much...

Here we go, folks, be gentle. This is regarding my 2012 JKU Sport. Despite my question, I have a pretty good understanding how "all that stuff down there" works. But sometimes, we make mistakes and mess up. Long story short, here in the great state of North Dakota, we just had another blizzard...

About a year ago, I did a little overhaul on my 2012 JKU. New plugs, PCV valve, and valve cover gaskets, among other things. I followed all installation and torque specs to the "T" but recently noticed some oil seepage. It appears to be coming from my passenger side camshaft position sensor...

EDIT: Updated recording with one that actually has decent audio Hey folks, I recently had a local, reputable shop re-gear my 2012 JKU for me. The owner said that the gears set up really nicely (I did get all Spicer parts, which probably helped). In addition to the front and rear R&Ps, the front...

Hey folks, I have a 2012 JKU. I've owned it for 16 months and lavished all kinds of maintenance on it, of both the preventative and overdue variety. That's a long list for another thread. Anyway, I'd already changed the front and rear axle gear oil twice on this rig, the most recent being about...

Hey folks, I've taken off my left side valve cover to check out the situation on my valvetrain. I've got some noise and slight metal wear showing in my oil, so it's time. I'm already prepared to replace the rocker arms and lifters, even the camshafts, but I found something that's kind of...

Hi folks, long time lurker, first time poster here. I appreciate all the resources and information you've made available to us Jeepers. I'd like to lean on you folks for some input. Long story short, I have a 2012 JKU with a 3.25 RC lift (installed by previous owner). I've done a lot to correct...
