    What would you do? (Build vs Recon)

    I bought my first Jeep (JKU) at the end of 2014, it’s a 2015 Sahara. At the time it seemed like the right choice, mostly road driving with 10% trails and logging road stuff to go camping and fishing. Not hard core rock crawling. However my first mud experience showed how much lockers really...

    Wheels dilemma

    I have a 2015 JKUR Sahara. I wish I would have sprung for the Rubi. Anyway, I'm finally in the position to start building it a little, so was thinking of a lift and new wheels/tires first. I still may go back and get a Rubicon in the future or may upgrade the axles and stuff myself. This is my...

    Another Oil Question

    The other thread about the 3.6 oil consumption problem has freaked me out a bit. I have a 2015 JK with 2500 miles on it right now. I understand that Jeeps have their quirks and that’s part of the fun, but buying a new engine after 50K or so miles, and being told by Jeep/Chrysler that this is...

    Alpine X009-WRA Head Unit

    This may be old news around here but haven't seen it mentioned. Stumbled across it while looking at other stuff. Alpine has been building the model specific head units (radios for the old timers) and built one for the JK (2012+). I cant tell if I like it or not from what I can see, looks like...

    LOD Rear Bumper Receiver Hitch Question

    Hello All, This is my first post here on WAYALIFE. Just got my first Jeep: JKU and have a lot to learn but am looking forward to it. As soon as the weather breaks and I can get some pics I'll post them in the wave forum. Got the Tank color BTW. So my first decision is a rear bumper which is...
