    JK Snorkles

    I'll echo everything Yarjammer said. I believe it to be the best setup out there, but it has some drawbacks (i.e. "the bad").

    Pentastar Engine Problem

    Welcome to Chry/Jeep customer service. Took me 3 months for them to change out my stereo head because they installed a 2011 rhr in my 2012 ('11 has half the hard drive space). Chry Business had to call the dealer and make them change it out. I'm in the bullseye for the cyl head issue also but...

    Improving the JK fuel efficiency?

    No conspiracy theory at all. Facts supported by third party and even gov. funded research proved that lowering the speed limit to 55 produced results that were in the noise floor... Driving 55 in a 70+ zone is not practical today, you do that around here and youre likely to get shot. How does a...

    Improving the JK fuel efficiency?

    23.4 mpg calculated? <skeptical> There was a reason for 55, a reason imagined up by the gov. But the results, like most gov sponsored ideas, didn't support it. ('..."independent studies" found a 0.5% total fuel savings')

    Expeditions 7: Two Years Around the World on all Seven Continents.

    Your sarcasm meter is broke. And if you want to get technical, the GT was the name of the original prototype 60s cars. It wasn't until the MkI that they were called GT40s. They had to called it the GT instead of GT40(actually 43") because of trademark problems. The new GT is a bit more than a...

    Expeditions 7: Two Years Around the World on all Seven Continents.

    Some nice work, but he seems kinda young to have designed a car that was raced in the early 60's?

    What the local Jeep dealer told me about diesels JKs

    Vegas to Flagstaff, 15.05mpg; Flagstaff to Vegas, 14.89mpg all at the speed limit. Gears are 3.73s and stock tires, ony mods are a Gobi rack and a XHD front bumper/winch but I only got marginally better when I was bone stock. Maybe your friend was going downhill both ways?

    Brandy's 2012 JKUR Build

    FYI, They only have 3 in stock and no mention if they are new/used/refurbed... It tells you the stock when you put them in the cart with the '*'.

    Brandy's 2012 JKUR Build

    Not sure how Mr. Pierce got them but they are avaliable online in limited quantities. Also, you can get them through the dealer still. The 04766601AA part number is discontinued but the new part number is 04766601AD. Local dealer has them listed for $180 a pop though, almost twice as much as...

    Expedition JK Rubicon project. Self sustainable check it out

    How did you enter the cab with your PV wiring? I'm working on a PV array for the roof rack but haven't found a way into the cab that doesn't require drilling and still maintains some water resistance.

    2012 JKUR Overland build in progress

    Saw the video before I purchased the xhd. Some of the video was design, some from user error. Mine doesn't have nearly the gap that the video shows when he grabbed it and pried it apart I suspect he didn't have the lid fully and properly closed when he did his demo. That being said it is a...

    Why the Jeep Wrangler is the new Defender.

    Not sure if I agree. I've spent alot of time on the LR forums and now spend alot of times on the Jeep forums and I see about the same amount and types of tech issues ranging from bad motors to leaking roofs on both (First page of W-Forum under JK has a "what failed on your JK and when? " with...

    Why the Jeep Wrangler is the new Defender.

    I've had the opposite experience comming from the LR3 to my 12 JKUR. My LR3 was great and only had one problem (hi/lo solenoid which was most likely my fault) and put on almost 90k miles on it. I'm currently waiting for my jeeps cylinder head to die cause I'm in the early build block that has...

    Why the Jeep Wrangler is the new Defender.

    Jeeps reliability record has been as bad as LRs for a long time. I think LR has actually been besting Jeep in the past couple of years... Maybe the article had hidden meaning :coffeedrink:
