So recently I developed a really bad metallic grinding noise that at first sounded like it was coming from the gearbox (I have a 6sp), but after some investigation led me to underneath the Jeep in the area of the crankshaft pulley (?). The noise comes from that region and into the area of the...

I noticed some coolant on the driveway the other day. Jeep was parked for about 15 hours. I saw a small drop of coolant coming from the corner where the black plastic meets the aluminum. It’s been really hot out, and my coolant reservoir went down in level since I last filled it by about two...

I have 2 NEVER INSTALLED OR USED Rough Country Black Series 2" LED cubes, all wiring including dash rocker switch, along with two mounting brackets for the lights to be used as an OEM fog lamp replacement on the STOCK JKU BUMPER. I originally bought these thinking they'd be compatible with my...

Doing my routine fluid changes, I pulled the plug off the rear Dana 44 diff and found these two lovely items stuck to the drain plug. I haven’t noticed any odd noises except for a noticeable “clunk” when I back out of my driveway and first start to roll forward. Usually only when the vehicle is...

A week ago I replaced the stock headlights with some 7” Rough Country LEDs. All was fine for a week, but recently I have started throwing codes. It does nothing to the headlight performance; they work just fine. The codes are: B1638 right hi beam circuit high B1634 left hi beam high B162C left...

So I have a 13 JKU that has about 85k on it. In the past year I have noticed a strange metallic vibration sound coming from under the Jeep while driving in 1st and sometimes in second; more prevalent when I am cruising around slowly in a parking lot or at a fast food drive thru (that's really...

So I am just curious as to how some people have wired their exterior LED's INSIDE the Wrangler cab. I want a nice clean place to install the rocker switch that won't involve a lot of work. I was thinking of just placing the switch on the pillar next to the driver, but am open to suggestions. I...

I was wanting to perform maintenance on my stock driveshafts. I hear they need to be greased on a regular basis, but I haven't seen any writeups on this anywhere. Not sure if it only applies to aftermarket shafts. If so, what type of grease and what's the skinny on this?

I am wanting a side upcoming retirement hobby and have always been interested in video editing. I am running Final Cut Pro on my Mac, but was curious what software you like to use. I like the transitions and some of the other effects you use that I have a hard time properly creating on FCP. Have...

So I noticed that the included scissor jack that came with my Jeep is useless and now with the leveling kit is reaching the end of the limit of travel. So what is everyone using for a standard jack (on pavement) for their lifted Jeeps? Should I just carry something around to lift the jack...

So for those who know I have had a nagging clutch issue for quite some time, that I have narrowed down (thanks to this forum) to the clutch slave. It's been replaced once, but continues to make ungodly noises when the clutch is depressed and released, and makes me worried it will fail at the...

So while examining my suspension today, I noted something with the tie rod that kind of had me worried. The passenger side connection and bushing appear to be normal, straight and correct. The driver's side, however, looks crooked and the bushing looks deformed. Is this normal? Or did I bend the...

After doing the 5 tire rotation the other day on my KO2's (have about 2000 miles on them) I noticed the front tires are wearing excessively on the outside. In the pictures, the top shows a "scuffing" along the outer edge of the tire. For reference, the other pic is of the rear tire. There are...

So last night I get home from riding at my favorite mountain biking spot, and after cleaning off the bikes I go to pull into the garage. I notice the clutch pedal feels very loose and different than usual. I then notice I almost stall it getting into the garage because the clutch engagement...

Getting ready to do the first rotation on my new tire/wheel setup. I did 5 tire rotations on my stock wheels and tires. Wanted to get opinions on whether to keep doing it with the KO2's or to reduce it to the 4 tire rotation so I have a fresh tire always on the back. Only advantage I see with...

I know there was a write up for this before, but that was for chopping the stock fenders. I went with Smitty XRC metal flats, and in order to get the OEM liners to work, I needed to use the hole where the original write-up specified you drill out and put the LED in. This leaves me with ZERO...

I am already aware of the merits of disconnecting on the trail, but I was wondering how safe it is on a basically-stock JKU. My concern is if the amount of flex or movement will end up stuffing the tires into areas that they can cause damage, or if the bump stops will take care of that. Keep in...

I started researching some possible off-road nav solutions the other day. I started when I saw Magellan "intending" to put out a product that was in tablet form, with preloaded off-road trail maps, interactive social media and 3D mapping capability...but then, my search turned up nothing but...

Hearing/ feeling a "clunk" in the front suspension after some off-roading... I have the Teraflex level kit, everything else is stock. After off-roading this past weekend, I notice a "clunk" noise (very intermittent) that sometimes can be faintly felt through the steering wheel when driving at...

So the other day I put in a K&N drop in. I got a check engine light with a code that I can't recall now, but was along the line of the evap line error. I found that I did a bad job reattaching the intake hose. So I took care of that and reattached it properly. Today while driving, I noticed the...
