I was just wondering if any of you out there that have trailered your JK have any strong opinions as to whether a bumper pull or a gooseneck is better. I'm in the process of moving far far away from the good offroading destinations but will be making annual or biannual treks to moab and other...

For those of you that have actually weighed your '12 or newer JKUs, I'm wondering what they've tipped the scales at. Mine is a '13 JKUR with a basic coil spring set up, chromoly control arms, some aftermarket steel armor (fenders/rockers) with 37s on 17" aluminum wheels. All other major...

Has anyone used a commercial carrier to ship their Jeep before? In a couple of months I'm going to be moving across country and as much as I would love to do the road trip in my JK, time simply won't permit it. I was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations regarding good commercial...

My bad - I deleted some stuff "Fenceline" is technically North Pole on the map. It starts at the very top left of the map and runs down the entire upper edge of the map (there's more than enough room to run the trail in either direction though). The map leaves a lot to be desired, but it will...

Maybe melt was being a bit melodramatic...but there wasn't a sudden pop or anything like that. Granted, I wasn't exactly being smart about what I was doing at the time.

Recently my right front turn signal has started going out. It works fine for about 10 seconds, then the "right front turn signal out" message pops up on the dash and sure enough, the light is not working. If I shut off the ignition and restart, it will work again for another 10 seconds and then...

I need to change out my rear diff fluid. Laying around my garage I have a quart of amsoil, a quart of royal purple and about half a quart of castrol synthetic. All are 75w-90. Is it ok to mix these?

Tawatec...because everyone has luminox. I love tritium watches and this one has been great for the past 5 years - I wear it daily, beat the heck out of it and it still works great.

If it's due to droop/exhaust contact, it will likely look like this. This happened suddenly while my front end was a full drop (3.5 inch lift). I replaced it with a 1310 Tatton drive shaft. In retrospect I shouldve gone with a 1350. I recently replaced my rear one with a brand new factory one...

So I just had my ball joints replaced, and on the way home from the shop, I noticed that when braking at highway speeds, my jeep is pulling pretty hard to the driver's side. It drives straight as an arrow otherwise. It doesn't seem to pull at all when braking below 40mph. The front rotors seem...

That's really cool

Has anyone else seen this? I know I know...the River Raider thing...but this is the first hellcat engine I've seen in a JK

So I'll start by saying that I'm completely new to working on my own jeep and am trying to learn. I recently tried installing some rock lights using the wayalife writeup. I used the platinum burner LED race lights (pic below). I used the switch that came with them since I don't have a daystar...
