    Do I need a PAC to use with aftermaket stereo on Wrangler JKU with NO SWC?

    Hello, I want to replace my factory pos with a Joyiung HU and my own amp and own speaker wires. Also, I already have a switched power with a 40a relay to use. Since I have no problem supplying switched power and I have my own amp \ speaker wire runs . . . what would a PAC actually still do for...

    Tie rod adjusting sleeve - tie rod end wiggle

    Last year I asked Firestone to do a front end alignment and they mangled the adjusting sleeve saying they couldn't get it loosened. I bought a new one, same form factor as the old one and they used it in the alignment and gave me the truck back. Since then I've been trying to track down some...

    Steering box replacement on 2009 JK

    I just replaced the Wheel bearing assemblies, the u-joints and the ball joints and I still have a cluck in the front end I can't identify. I believe it's related to the leaking steering gear box and that the whole gear box needs to be replaced. Prices vary from re-manufactured to new and get...

    Ball Joints U-Joints Wheel Bearings & Axles

    This week I'm doing the project, and yesterday took off most of the parts. I still need to remove the ball joints and u-joints today. I was surprised to find that the seal on the axle didn't meet the body and the axles are that rusted. When I put them back in, is there a trick to seating these...

    Google Offline Maps and logging road navigation

    I want to ditch the Garmin and use my Android devices for navigation. They have real GPS in them. I know I can DL offline maps, and when I zoom in on them they show logging roads, maybe not every one but a lot. Have any of you made your own custom maps using google offline and able to navigate...

    Ball Joints job and additonal WHAT?

    Last year or so I got some Synergy Ball Joints from a neighbor and thinking of putting them on this Spring. As long as I'm pulling off the wheels and brake assemblies, I wonder what else would be hella convenient to do while it's already tore down that far? Grease the wheel bearings \ axles...

    Hear Me Roar! Manly Exhaust, but need to quiet down

    Last year I bought a Magnaflow MFL17143 and a resonator from Northridge 4x4 and put on my Wrangler. This has a manly aggressive growl indeed, but I need something more stealthy. My plan is to sell this in WA state as barely used and put OEM or something more quiet in it's place. Here's the...

    Hey Vancouver Island people . . . have some questions please

    I'm planning a trek up Vancouver Island maybe by May when the rain lessens. I want to primitive camp in more remote areas where there's just no one around. Just me and my rig in complete silence, no foot print. Anyone know of accessible Crown land or old areas that aren't currently logged that...

    Suggestions for 2009 Wrangler JKU - NEW Head Unit w GPS \ BT and 6.5in speakers

    I've looked at stuff till my eyes glazed over. I got a quote from BestBuy for a Kenwood DNX572BH and 4 Alpine SPS-610\c. That runs about $1470+ with kits\harnesses and labor etc. I'm sure I can do this myself and I already have a 4ch 1000w quality amp. So the questions is: Buy a Kenwood...

    Buying Backup Lighting - help and suggestions please

    Hello, I want to add some backup lights to my rear bumper area. My replacement LED tail lights just aren't bright enough for me to see properly at night, esp with the tinted windows. Other people can tell I'm in reverse, but I can't see behind me so well. My thoughts are to add some of the...

    SNOW NO GO!! Woe, woe is me

    This last January I researched and bought some DuraTrac 315/70R/17 x 5. Yeah, some $$ Then I drive in snow twice, and both times were abysmal failures. (insert long string of explicative here) In about 1 foot to 1.5 foot of snow, I all but got utterly stuck and all of the tread depth was solid...

    Auto Trans will not leave PARK (Until it feeeeels like it!)

    Increasingly I can;t move the shifter out of reverse. When I finally CAN, then I can switch to other gears just fine. Put it back in Park, maybe I can, maybe I can't. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for the ability to change gears. After trying, prying, swearing, eventually it just...
