    Looking for recommendation on best hood latch

    Good input by all. just to clarify, I also drive 70+ on the freeway with no major issues in Normal Conditions. Yesterday was different. It was super windy and I even checked the Weather station that reported the area I was driving had gusts up to 70mph. That was my head wind. :oops::oops...

    Looking for recommendation on best hood latch

    As title states. I just drove through a 40+ mph sustained wind storm and had a "pray to the Jeep gods" moment that the hood didn't fly up. Looking at what those that have upgraded their hood latches went to and how happy they are. Thanks

    Does this sound like a bad throwout bearing ? Update with pictures.

    Update. Ordered parts after pulling everything apart. The first photo will show the aftermath that I pulled out. Second photo shows the original, and the Luk clutch kit throwout bearing that is plastic, and the Sachs one I purchased. The Sachs is almost exactly like the original in looks. The...

    Does this sound like a bad throwout bearing ? Update with pictures.

    Need some advise from the group. My daughter was driving her 06 Rubicon 6 speed and stated it just started making the screeching sound ( I added video ). To me it appears to be a bad Throw out bearing. Before I start tearing the trans out, wanted to see if the consensus was the same, or...

    Wrangler TJ Fluid Capacities & Fluid Recommendations

    I am in the process of doing Oil, Transmission, Transfer case, Axles, and coolant on an 06 Rubicon and 06 LJ. Both are basically stock and are driven on pavement more than dirt. Since this is adding up quickly, Is there a major difference in using Mobil 1 75W-140 vs Lucas Oil 75W-140 ...

    You're kidding me, right? Part 2

    I agree with the OP and the others that have commented on this. I have to add, that most folks would be surprised what actually gets called into 911 as an emergency. Lucky for me, our dispatchers go through a series of questions that determine what type of call it will be. They even have the...

    Transfer case linkage issue

    So far, the switch worked ( for about 5mins ) then went out again. I Know it engages in 4WD and 4Lo, but the lockers are not engaging. They engaged for 5 mins, then all the lights went out and I knew something happened that wasn't supposed to. One more thing to fix will be the dual...
