    Jeep Wrangled Unlimited Sport: For Sale/Feeler

    After a few months of pondering, I am (will definitely regret) selling my first car. Up for sale is my 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X. While it is high mileage (165k) it has been meticulously maintained mechanically. I work at a shop part time and have lightly built it up over the years; amongst...

    Where to find a 3.8 & Supercharger

    I am considering swapping my current 3.8 for a new, rebuilt, or lower mileage 3.8 and adding a supercharger. Does anyone have experience with this and know where I can save some bucks in the process? I have heard RIPP is great, but not sure I am looking to spend $~6k on the kit. Any advice...

    37 Recommendations

    I decided to step up from 33 inch all terrain tires and make the move to 37’s. My 08 JKU sport has been a daily driver for years. What is new is I have a second vehicle and my driving has significantly decreased. I might sound crazy but I am redoing my build at 163k miles. I plan to slowly...

    Talking Brakes

    I’m stepping up to 37’s at end of the summer. Might as well step up my brakes while I’m at it. Looking for something to help out my stopping power at highway speeds. Any recommendations? I’m considering Mopar Big Brake kit and Dynatrac. I also really like Wildwood brakes. Sent from my iPhone...

    Fox Suspension Noise

    Curious if anyone has noticed a gust of air sound with their Fox shocks? For example, over speed bumps, deeper manhole covers or even just slight changes in road pitches. I just installed them less than 3k miles ago. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

    So Need A New Lift

    Passenger side spring is cracked and my front shocks are shot. I got both sets of new Fox 2.0 Performance shocks in the garage which came with my Evo QP. They fit 1.5-3.5inchs of lift. I am currently running a Rough Country 2.5 inch leveling kit. My dilemma, my 08 JKU has 161k miles on it. I...

    37's

    Upgrading tires in the next few months. I've got upgraded ball joints, universal joins, tie rods, drags, stabilizer, new fox 2.5 inch suspension & leveling kit, I'll regear also. Stock JKU sport axles. I have been considering 35's but I know I will regret it and only want to go bigger. This is...

    New Axles or ReGear?

    Sure this topic has been over discussed, so only looking for some brief feedback. I have done my fair share of reading prior threads. After careful consideration I decided not to dump my 160k mileage (and first car) JKU. And instead, keep replacing as I go. I drive a very limited (under 7k...

    To Ditch it Or To Fix It; that time of a Jeep's life

    As the title reads, I got some possibly unfortunate news from my mechanic on Monday. Last weekend, I was installing my new winch on my 1/4 pounder and I noticed some drips on my garage floor. To my surprise, I found an accumulation of oil around a gasket. As I started looking around, I also...

    Skinny Fender Gaskets?

    The other day I was gifted some metal skinny fenders, no clue the brand but they were free and actually look great on my JKU. Especially with my new EVO 1/4 front bumper. My only thought, the metal on metal contact with the body and the fender worries me over time. I am afraid of moisture and...

    Hey Forum, Just got some new goodies today and am really excited to bolt up my new fox shocks and Evo Stubby Bumper. Got them both for a great deal from local guy brand new. Obviously Evo comes with a little bit of name markup, and my question is does anyone know of aftermarket front bumper...

    Headlight Upgrade Suggestions

    I was wondering if anyone could provide me with some headlight recommendations? My PIAA lights just went out and I definitely do not want to resort back to the horrible stock mopar lights. I am a college student currently studying abroad so I am really looking for the most bang for my buck...

    Out With The Old, In With The New?

    Unfortunately my Jk is getting up there in miles (133) and I think it is time to start thinking of my options for the future. I was not sure where to post this so please feel free to switch it to a different category if necessary! Right now I'm driving a 2008 JKU X with some modifications. I...

    Roof racks

    Can anyone post the dimensions of their roof racks? I mean the rack itself not basket or anything else. I'm on the automative engineering team at my college and can manufacture my own parts so want to try and design my own and save a ton of $$! Pictures with dimensions would also be awesome

    Roof Rack/Cargo Cage

    I am looking for an in expensive roof rack for my jku. I am not opposed to one that would attach directly to my hardtop, but I would rather have one that would work with the soft top as well for the summer. If anyone has some recommendations that would great. The cheapest option I have found...

    Tie Rod & Drag Link Replacement

    I was wondering what the forums recommends for replacing the tie rod and drag link. I have read up a few tutorials including the project-jk one on how to do the removal and install. Since it seems pretty straight forward I think I am going to give it a try for myself and save myself about $200...
