    Track bar mounts

    My track bar mount axle side shows wear, and I am getting a bit of wobble. New pro steer ball joints and re torq a month ago cured it, but its back again. Can I weld washers in place of the track bar mount holes to repair? It is about 1/16 worn.

    Painting the pinch seem,

    Ok, I had the AMP research power steps on my JKU on a trail ride and managed to land on a log pile and smash the step pushing the step motor up into the body. I took the wrecked step and motors off and brought it to a body shop and they put it on a frame rack, welded 2 tabs in the bad area to...

    A little help needed

    So after a weekend of wheeling here in Minnesota in what amounted to some tough climbs I had my first experience with the death wobble. I read the whole post on here about it, and I have some questions that I hope will save me money. I have not had time to dig in and fine the culprit yet, but I...

    Axle thoughts

    I don`t post much, but read on here a lot. I live in Minnesota, and most of my wheeling around here is trail riding through the woods with some difficult hills. I would like to head up north to the Iron Mines which is a bit more rocky, and I avoid mud like the plague. I have a 2013 Rubicon JKU...

    Which fenders can keep the inner liner?

    I know I can cut my stock fenders or go to either Rugged Ridge plastic tube fenders or the factory High Line fenders, but are there any more that can retain the inner liner? I live in Minnesota, and any road salt I can keep off things helps.

    Transmission issue question

    Hoping someone in the know can help me help a friend. She has a 2012 JKU Sahara with only 30000 miles on it. Yesterday she was driving to work and the Jeep went up in a ball of smoke and quit moving. She has it towed to a dealer and was told that one of the lines from the trans to the cooler...

    Thoughts on mud?

    I have been lurking on this forum for a while now, and rarely post. Mostly because it would seem that most of you live in parts of the country where rocks are the norm as far as wheeling goes. I live in Minnesota, ( land of high taxes ) and most of the stuff around here involves MUD. I hate mud...

    Drag Link and Tie Rod??

    I live in Minnesota and for my purpose installed a 3.5" AEV lift. It is mostly just an overland use vehicle. I read some of Eddie`s post`s from SEMA and saw the Yeti track bar and tie rod photos, and they look impressive. Maybe I will never need an upgrade, but I have a question. Would I need to...

    Painting plastic

    Is it possible to paint plastic with any luck. More specifically bushwacker flat tube flares? I have the opportunity to buy a set for almost 1/2 price, but would like to paint them if it is possible? Thanks

    Alignment cost, did I get hosed?

    Did I take a bath from my dealer on an alignment? I had it checked after my 3.5" AEV lift install and slight shimmy issue. I was shocked when the bill was $368.00 dollars!! They told me the wrangler comes with a fixed alignment and they had to put an alignment bolt kit on it?

    Jeep not level after lift install

    After installing lift I noticed the jeep is not level across the back. I measured and it is 3/4" lower on the passenger side, is this common? It is a 3.5" AEV lift and I have 2000 miles on it since the install. I double checked everything today and also re-torqued all the bolts. Posted this in a...

    2013 Rubicon swaybar disconnect issues?

    Jeep is still under warranty, but I wanted to ask here before I take it in. It has 30000 miles on it, and I have owned it for the last 8000 miles. I had never pushed the swaybar disconnect button before until yesterday driving down a trail. I followed the instructions, but got no indicator light...

    Gear whine is it common?

    Just had 4:88`s put in my 2013 JKUR, and have put 75 miles on so far. I hear a bit of gear whine that goes away as soon as I let off the gas. Is this common during break in, or should I be bringing it back?

    For those in the know, 37`s and gearing?

    I have looked at the charts and read many threads on this, but it seems like logistics may play a part in the choice of gearing and 37`s? I live in Minnesota and have a 2013 JKUR and am installing the lift and KO2 37`s hopefully this weekend if the lift opens up. I drive some freeway and pull a...

    In my search to find a vented hood I ran across this hood company, and kind of like the look which is why I wanted on in the first place.

    When to know if you need a drag link flip kit?

    If you are 3" or less like the EVO enforcer, do you really need the flip kit? If not I would rather save the money.
