    VIDEO : JL JOURNAL - Gravel Caught Between the JL Wrangler Fender and Body FIX

    I ran into a fellow jeepers at EJS who showed me this. I wanted to do it too but didn't know what product to use - THANKS! BTW, have you had any issues with it coming loose? I was thinking of a drop of superglue at the ends.

    POLL : How Much are You Planning to Spend on Your Jeep This Year?

    Wow - I've been wrestling with this question, having already done nearly everything I thought was needed turn a factory new JLUR into a very street-able, non-radical appearing daily driver that could handle any reasonably sane trails. Now that's what I've got - and it's proven even more capable...

    The factory one I removed was one piece. I did have to compress the one piece filter I replaced it with to get it into the slot. but the pleats are folded accordian-style in the direction you have to squeeze it, and the rubber gasket allows this.

    I see your point there. Agreed a possible factor.

    My decision was to get the WIX filter some of you recommended. About $12 with shipping. Fits perfectly and I think it will be just fine. NOTE TO OTHERS - whenever changing your filter be sure to look carefully at how the back and side edges seal against the filter. If you're not careful when...

    Scary JL transfer case failure on hill climb

    It wasn't in reverse - he was drifting it backwards against the torque converter in first gear. The incline was steep enough that he could do that by letting off the brakes.

    Cabin Air Filter

    The CAF isn't something I normally give any thought to but spent this week wheeling in the desert and had dust blowing out of the AC vents. So now I'm thinking an upgrade to the factory filter is in order. See that the K&N is a two piece design. Anybody know if this helps with sealing the fit...

    Scary JL transfer case failure on hill climb

    So today I had my son try driving up a maximum incline obstacle on slick rock at Moab (Hummer Hill). At the steepest part he lost traction and needed to back down to reset his line. While drifting backwards - still in 4-low / Gear M1 - the front tires slid over a crack and then caught again...

    Help Wanted - Alpine Loop & Moab

    So this was going to be the epic summer wheeling trip to celebrate my sons high school graduation- until the COVID thing hit. This delayed the testing programs he had to pass for his postgraduate studies and now we have just a short window to quickly plan a trip through the areas of SW Colorado...
