    Power steering issues

    My power steering has started acting up at low RPM. I have 58K+ miles and some of our local Jeepers have had similar issues with their 3.8l JKs. One of them says he has replaced his PS pump twice. I haven't had mine looked at by a mechanic yet, but thought I would see what I could learn about...

    Stuck in the Swell

    Rita and I were joined by my brother Dan and his wife Mary on a trip to the San Rafael Swell area in Utah. We camped just off Exit 131 of Interstate 70 and were there from May 24-30. There are lots of trails in this area, but Dan and Mary had to leave on the 27th because Dan's daughter Terri...

    changed to a soft top

    I just sold the hard top off my Jeep and will have to change my signature and Avitar, but haven't yet. Attached are photos of the new top closed and open. It's a Bestop Trek Top NX Plus and the "sunrider" feature is really great. The Freedom Panels in the hard top got quite a bit of use, but...

    C2116 code

    I have a C2116 code that won't reset. It says "ABS motor supply low voltage". The ABS, EPS/Bas lights are on and the traction control symbol is lit. I've read the code and tried to clear it with my Superchip Flashpaq. My Jeep is a 2010 JK 3.8 liter V6. The code just popped up today and we are...

    Hydrolocked engine comprehensive coverage

    I just wanted to let forum members know that my comprehensive insurance covered the damage done to my Jeep when I mis-judged the depth of a creek crossing. In the process of browsing this forum, and other JK forums online, I saw where some other Jeepers got their repairs paid for by their...

    I need a low miles 3.8 engine within 200 miles of Pocatello, Idaho

    I just hydrolocked my 2010 Wrangler in too deep a creek crossing. :doh: I would like to find a engine swap shop that has a low miles 3.8 that they could swap into my jeep. There should be a bunch of 3.8s out there from folks who have swapped in a V8. We took the plugs out and the engine will...

    My 2010 JKU sport auto with Rubi axles has 5.13 gears and I'm currently running 35" tires. I have the 3" EVO plush ride lift and chopped fenders so have room to go with 37" tires I think. I am in the process of doing a rear bumper delete and installing a rugged ridge tire carrier that will...

    San Rafael Swell Wheelin

    My brother and I decided to go back to the San Rafael Swell after wheeling The Devil's Racetrack there on our way home from Moab last week-end. Our wives had other plans so we camped out along the trails. We live about 350 miles from the area and left home early so we could do the Eva Conover...

    ROCK RASH ONLY! Show your rig with rock rashes!

    Had Mopar sidesteps on and knew that I should replace them with rock rails. I should have done it before mashing the steps and the left front quarter panel. Took the panel off and pounded out the "rock rash" and then bed lined the rocker panels in a body armor pattern and installed LOD rails. I...

    Trimming Fender liners

    when you trim the liners for the front fenders make sure you leave them extending from the well far enough to prevent mud from packing into the gap between the front quarter panels and whatever you call the metal behind them. I trimmed mine to narrow to cover that gap and had to cover it with...
