    Sleep solo in my JKU next to ARB fridge? Or buy a nice tent?

    That's good to hear.....I think I'm gonna spring for one when I find a good price on one.

    Sleep solo in my JKU next to ARB fridge? Or buy a nice tent?

    This. I have yet to actually sleep in my JKU because I haven't been camping since I've owned it, but I've put my Big Agnes air mattress in it a couple times to see how I fit, and while definitely not perfect I'm pretty sure it'd be better than sleeping on the ground, especially if it's really...

    Converting a factory JK/JKU hardtop to modular

    jscherb, two things always impress me: 1) Your ingenuity and skill, and 2) Your willingness to go to lengths to share it with others. Very cool project and thank you for taking the time to share the details.

    2.0L turbo four for the new Wrangler?

    The new breed of small engines in full-size trucks is entirely due to CAFE.

    2014 JK 2 Door Build

    Nice. We don't see many 2-doors on here. Looks good. I love my JKU and personally I couldn't do without the space it provides, but I'm often envious of the simplicity and old-school character of a 2-door Jeep. I'm with you on the build philosophy. Keep it simple, close to stock. These things...

    Rubicon X Bumper + Maximus-3 Light mount = Vibration

    Wow. I just wanted to say that bumper / light / winch combo looks great. I hope you get the vibration sorted out.

    Lower mileage or later model year?

    Assuming similar options, condition, and maintenance history, which vehicle would be you be willing to pay more for? An older 100 series - say, a 1999 or 2000, with low miles (125k, for instance)...................or a newer 100 series with higher miles, say, a 2006 with 250k miles? Just...

    Making a JKU fun in the Highway (speed) parts of an Expedition?

    I don't know. My stock 2015 JKUR with the 4.10's cruises at 75 or 80 easily. Set the CC and go. The only thing that bothers me comfort-wise on long drives is lack of lumbar support. I also plan to install a dead pedal soon.

    Rattle from rear of JKU

    How fast do they wear? My jeep is 4 months old and only has 5000 miles on it.

    Rattle from rear of JKU

    So for a couple weeks now, whenever I go over a bump with my 2015 Unlimited, I've heard this rattle coming from the rear of the Jeep. It wasn't that bad and didn't seem to be getting worse, but it was driving me nuts. Several times I've poked around in the back trying to find out what it was...

    BFG MT's in snow and ice

    I've never had real snow tires, even when I lived western NY and then Alaska, I got by fine on AT's.

    BFG MT's in snow and ice

    Bought my JKU new back in Sept, and it came with the OEM BFG MT's that all the Rubicons have: I thought several times about replacing the MT's with KO2's, thinking maybe I'd get a mpg or so better and longer tread life with the lower rolling resistance. I'd had BFG AT's before and loved them...

    Dead pedal install

    Thanks! I actually almost ordered one of these just a few days ago, but wondered if it'd be worth it.

    Help with JK Rubicon models (from a Land Cruiser guy)

    I've never been fortunate enough to own any model Land Cruiser, but I have owned several of Toyota Trucks and a 4Runner. I loved them all. My wife will only own a Toyota and I consider us "Toyota people" even though probably my favorite vehicle was my 2005 LJR and I currently drive a 2015 JKUR...

    Ford Excursion and $5k To Spend: What Would You Do?

    Lots of good comments. I appreciate it. Front brakes look almost new. Everything on the front end seems tight. It drives about 1000000% better since I got the new front springs and shocks. I need to do the rears also, but they aren't nearly as bad as the front was. At the next oil change I'm...

    Ford Excursion and $5k To Spend: What Would You Do?

    I pay about $1.64/gal right now. When I bought it 9 months ago I think it was around $2.25. Highest I've ever seen in my life was about $4.50.....that was back in 2008 and fortunately it didn't stay that high very long. If that was the norm I probably wouldn't own a full size truck. I do a fair...

    Ford Excursion and $5k To Spend: What Would You Do?

    Here is how she sits this morning: This week I'm going to crawl up under it and inspect everything closely. Next oil change I think I'll spring to have them replace all the fluids, and I should probably have the spark plugs done, because I don't know if they've ever been done. The grille...

    Ford Excursion and $5k To Spend: What Would You Do?

    Thanks for the maintenance advice. Exactly the type of info I was looking for. A 12v would be awesome, but a big custom project like that isn't something I'm interested in tackling. I have often wondered if I wouldn't be better off with a PSD than with the V10, but around here guys want $15k...
