I'll be sure to do that before I replace the control arm today. Thanks!

I'm reviving this because I am now getting around to replacing the front control arms. I replaced the front lowers and they were as easy as expected. When I decided to do the front uppers, I looked at them and they don't appear to be too bad. I am replacing them because the lowers looked bad...

I usually search this forum for replacement parts to buy and stick with those. I will happily pay for the right part because I hate doing the job twice.

My child thinks I should have recorded and posted videos of all the repairs I have done to keep the Jeep in stock form and in top running condition. With no desire to modify and then constantly fix what gets broken because of the modification, I have stuck to making sure that everything is...

Very creative idea for modifying the TJ when replacing a heater core. Sounds like none are available though!

I think that GM should put these fire suppression systems in my Bolt EV. They're going to replace the battery, but I'd feel better with one of those.

I try to get mine out on the highway at least once every other week, but sometimes it happens only once a month. Now that it's not regularly over 100, I'll take it out a little more until it gets cooler (50's) in the winter.

Rust issues aside, maybe it's just me but when I am selling a vehicle, I at least vacuum and clean up the vehicle. To not put in the minimal effort of doing that makes me think of everything else they're not doing as far as maintenance. When I see a dirty car for sale, I just walk away.

I haven't taken mine any distance over 180 miles in any direction and would never consider it. My advice is have it shipped and fly to your destination. My most recent trip of 3k miles was in an LR4 and that air suspension made it a breeze. In a Jeep...no way on this earth would I drive that...

I have the window sticker for my 2001 Sport and it has this option listed: Tire & Wheel Group (Canyon) - 30" ($850) Wheels - 15 x 8.0 Aluminum Tires: 30x9.5R15 Wrangler OWL A/T Axle - Rear, Dana 44/226mm Shocks - High Pressure Gas Charged I replaced my links a couple years ago with a "factory...

Thanks for the thread; I plan on replacing my front upper and lower control arms this weekend so all the advice helps.

Because I am leasing an EV, I take it to the dealership for its scheduled maintenance which in the case of the 15k service involved only a wheel rotation. As the service order was being prepared, I was asked if I wanted their premium service which also involved a "COVID cleaning" as well as...

This thread is by far my favorite. I suppose it's like watching disaster tv, but slower. I just don't know who posts an advertisement for their Jeep for 30k + with tons of mods and thinks someone will buy it. Are there people who would spend that much on these? I thought I was paying too much...

For your reference, my 01 temp sits at 210 and really never varies. My oil pressure sites at 40 at idle and 50 or so when driving. After all the work I've done on it, I've come to believe that it's normal for my vehicle.

I went with a cheaper version I think also made by Bestop called Pavement Ends. I don't drive my Jeep a lot (500-1000 miles a year) so it didn't make sense to spend the money on a top end Bestop. I think this is the Bestop discount brand and it has worked really well for me...
