    Tire Size, Lift, and Highway Driving Manners

    35’s on that year Jk with 3”lift is not a problem running 75 on the highway, smooth and in traffic. Gear Ratio is certainly important, but I’d be a little stunned if I couldn’t drive over 60 in what is described. Heck, with those ratios, just use 5th gear like it’s a 5 speed and I can do 75...

    How can I achieve a softer ride?

    What tires do you have now? What shocks do you have now? mid it completely stock? How many miles on the JK? I have an 08 Jk with 2 “ suspension lift and 1” body lift, 35” BFG mid tires and Bilstein shocks. It rides smooth as all get out. I have a 05 TJ that I’m trying to get that smooth...

    Death Wobble

    Alignment and tires first, those are where to start. Then dry steer and see if something is loose.

    Core4x4 Double Adjustable Control Arms

    The JK doesn’t need anywhere near as much on mine, so I liken that I can accomplish 35’s without the massive list. I love my TJ because I feel like it looks more like my old CJ, so it’s more my fun project. With 2” lift and 1” BL this JK looks much bigger just sitting in the driveway, and I’m...

    Core4x4 Double Adjustable Control Arms

    Out these on and started measuring Caster. Went from 3.2 to 6.0. HUGE difference in drive-ability. Return to zero is better, but ran a test run and my son had to run to work, woohoo, so he delivered pizzas in it and said it was money. I think I may take it to 6.7 or 7 degrees and try it...

    JKU overheating

    If you cannot find any issues, then yes, I would flush it, long process, drain radiator, fill with distilled water, run, do it again, run, do it again, until it’s clear, The. Drain and fill with 100% no 50/50 mix. Or if you can disconnect and pull the plugs etc. I’m not sure why there’s no...

    JKU overheating

    http://www.saharlow.com/4x4/doc_wrangler_jk_engine_cooling_170830.pdf This may not solve, but it does a good job of laying out some tests. 1. When it overheats....is it repeatable? As in, only when at speed, only when sitting etc. (If it only does it at speed, then is your grill blocking...

    Anyone know about a good lift kit?

    I would think at 1.75", you would just put in spacers. Seems specific when there are a lot of 2" kits and 2.5" kits out there.

    Any idea what these lights mean?

    I'd start there, go back to the dealer that did it, and let them know. That would be my action.

    ABS - Anti Lock Brake BRAKE - Parking Brake light? Traction Control Off EPS - Electronic Stability (!) - TPMS Tire PRessure Monitoring System It actually looks like you're key is off, ha, but you're moving so that's not an issue. ABS/Brake/Traction Control/EPS/TPMS are all very...

    P0306 Misfire Help

    If I’m not mistake , P0306 means specifically a misfire in 6. Main causes from easy to find to harder Plugs-Plug Wires-Coil Pack. Then I’d look at a fuel injector on 6 (It runs well, there are ways to clean, maybe it’s that) This is a generic “chase down vacuum leaks article I’ve used...

    Switched to beadlocks, got death wobble

    Just to make sure we are talking the same thing, Death Wobble is non recoverable, and you have to pull over, and most likely won't be able to drive the vehicle until it's fixed. Vibrations that suck, are bad, but DW is wicked crazy. You're definitely out of balance, and if someone put these...

    2015 Rubicon Coolant Temperature

    Couple things I should have mentioned, yours is newer than the write up, and your has an electronic temp, so you can see the exact temp. What you describe seems normal. The electric fan is set normally to come on at 225. So, you hit 225, the fan hits high and will bring it down. The...

    Core4x4 Double Adjustable Control Arms

    Tier 4, I figure if I'm wrenching, might as well put it in big. I've got 35's on my son's 08 JK, want it to be ready to go heavy when we go out.

    My first Wrangler: What sort of things do I need to be aware of?

    Wait....the RMS didn't leak from the factory? I thought that was a feature.....when it stopped I need to put oil in?
