    What's everyone's opinion on diff fluids? And weights? My dad was a mechanic and suggested Lucas or royal purple. He also said it wouldn't hurt to go a weight up with oil to just help the gears out and run smoother. I know 75w90 is what gos in my d44. So he suggested 75w140. Any thoughts?

    Today at work I was talkin to a guy on my ship about jeeps and the topic came up about what we drive and he drives a TJ and me a JK. He then went to tell me how JKs aren't real jeeps and are just for people who want a jeep but will never use it. Personally I love all jeeps not just JKs. I...
