    Dorman oil cooler and Felpro gasket kit?

    I don't recall the location of the leak exactly. I want to say drivers side lower corner. The original radiator has 122k on it. So it performed fairly well. I found an oem radiator at northrideg4x4 for $362. So I'm having my mechanic swap that. The only aftermarket one I could find good forum...

    Dorman oil cooler and Felpro gasket kit?

    I have not run the diagnostics for the heater issue myself yet. But plan too. My mechanic said it was most likely a blend door. But I don't know what diagnistics he did. He did check the heater core and lines and observed no leak. But I find forums and yt videos to be better informed on...

    Dorman oil cooler and Felpro gasket kit?

    There are many long term reports of Dorman oil coolers going bad after a year a so from bad gaskets. The $10 worth of felpro gaskets seems like cheap insurance. I generally use felpro on anything I can. However the Dorman was recently renamed "Upgraded". So the gasket issue may have been fixed...

    Catalytic converter recommendations?

    Walker seems like the best choice. Excellent reviews, midrange cost wise, and best warranty. Ling time in business too. I don't need highflow. And the cheap Ebay and Amazon ones seem like they won't last long. Ebay warranty is only like 30 days. Walker is 5yrs and 50k for performance and...

    Catalytic converter recommendations?

    I need a bank 2 right side cat. I'm seeing ones on ebay for $120. And elsewhere upwards of $700. My mechanic says the cheap ones don't last. Is there a happy medium? There are also the universal ones for fairly cheap from magnaflow and walker. I assume those have to be welded in by a muffler...

    Dorman oil cooler and Felpro gasket kit?

    1) Is the current best option for oil cooler replacement the aluminum Dorman unit with separate Felpro gaskets? If so, which Dorman unit and which Felpro gaskets? I read that the aluminum Dorman is better than the plastic OEM unit. But that the Dorman gaskets don't fit right or last. 2) I have...

    Unofficial word: 3.6 dropping like flies

    Just fyi. I know it's an old thread. I just researched the shit out of this prior to purchasing a 2012 JKU. In 2014 the head and rocker/lifter issues were fixed. But 2011 to 2013 with the new 3.6 had both issues. Not every engine. But enough that the warranty on the head issue for those years...

    Under-Floor Storage

    This THE BEST example of false floor storage. And I've read them all. The sheet metal is much lighter than wood. Easy to assemble with a simple rivet gun. And the best design imho. Great post.

    How to clean the engine bay of your JK

    That guy on youtube - something farm iirc. Did a detailed test of all degreasers. Super Clean came out on top. But a few others did well too. But Super Clean is also the cheapest. And he compared just about every one you've ever heard of.

    Best Stinger radio alternative?

    I know you didn't ask this. But you can get ones with dash panels replacements that turn the original dash into a stock looking one but with a 10.1 inch screen. Or you can get ones that change nothing in your dash. As they sit forward of the old opening. Kind of floating an inch or so away from...

    Best Stinger radio alternative?

    I have not researched your current unit. As they seem way out of line price wise. I would look for an android 12 or 13 unit. With an 8 core processor and 6gb or greater ram. A unit that runs android uses its own processors. Versus an android auto or apple carplay unit which basically uses your...

    How to wire additional interior lights?

    I would like to add footwell, additional roof lighting and a cargo area light strip. 1) How would you wire footwell and additional overhead lighting so that it comes on when the doors open? 2) If I wanted to add a light strip above the rear cargo area how would you wire that? And I assume...

    285/70/17 for stock (no lift) 2014 Wrangler Rubicon 2-door?

    I have these on my 2012 JKU with 1.5" spacers. Alot of offroaders use spacers. I have had them on my TJ for over 4 years. Like someone mentioned above you may be able to get away with a thinner spacer. 1.5 was the best advice I could find online. I did this on my JKU as I was able to find that...

    Tires and shocks

    I have Falken Wildpeak AT3s too. Have them in 33" (285/70r17) in Load C as well. I had them in 32" on my TJ before this JK. They are pricey at $220 plus shipping, mount etc. I found a set of the above size as take offs from a new Gladiator. Paid $800 with Gladiator rims. Less than 1800 miles on...
