I plan to post another update soon but I’ve since moved to Fairbanks, AK and have been putting the top through -30F weather lately. Getting to see how it holds up in the 2 temperature extremes

If you’re running a spare, yes, its a bit of a pain to close in the correct order. But I now use the side windows 90% of the time and only use the back for larger objects.

Here's a video of the sound. I was only driving around 20 mph and the sounds grows louder as I go faster. If I get on the highway today Ill snag another video.

I still need to resolve my ticking issue. The jeep was in a garage while being winterized so I hoped that the noise would not be present when I left temporarily. Alas, it was still present. Debating on switching to a thinner weight fluid (believe I put Amsoil Synchromesh in last time) or just...

Made some progress on winterizing the Jeep today and wanted to share since the information is scarce, at least when compared to which oil to use. Installed: ABN Oil Pan heater ($20, Amazon) someone more experienced that helped me stated that this was overkill at 150 Watts🤷‍♂️ but would be fine...

Well the Jeep made it to Fairbanks and is already getting its butt whooped by the Alaska cold. And it's pretty warm this week around 0° F and above (compared to last weeks -40s). I picked the Jeep up today and it was stored inside overnight prior to me picking it up. No issues leaving the...

I have used WeRMopar in the past. Decent price but shipping stinks.

Planning to re-gear and add selectable lockers front and rear in the near future. I am leaning towards installing ARB Air lockers, vs Eaton E-Lockers at the moment. Does the cold up there have any adverse effects on air compressors or air lines? I've knocked a few of items off the to-do list...

I’m happy with the purchase. I use the pop up windows on a daily basis to load the kid and random junk. Pretty handy.

I'm at a loss of where to go next. Hoping someone on here can help out so I don't have to let some stranger's booger hooks touch my Jeep. Hopefully I've overlooked something simple and you guys can slap me and help me realize my expensive mistake. On the bright side, all these new parts are...

I’ve been chasing this stalling issue for a while now. Ive repaired 2x small vacuum leaks, still need to replace the “L” fitting that comes off the intake. Yes, I have cleaned to IAC and TB. Also, I do plan to replace the IAC since the o-ring is damaged and I keep running into more and more...

Ive seen quite a few posts stating tgat is normal, but I have a hard time believing that it’s normal/nominal to have air bypass the air filter and be sucking in at the valve. I’ve already checked wermopar. No luck there, unfortunately.

I ran a smoke test and found my throttle body to be leaking from the seals around the rod that connects to the butterfly valve and the IAC. I believe this is the culprit behind my intermittent stalling while at idle. 1. looking for OEM 2005-06 throttle body (5161510AA). I have been unsuccessful...

Is there a preferred battery for life in Alaska? Everything Ive found recommends ACDelco, Odyssey and Optima. I know I’ve seen some negative reviews on Optimas lately.

Thanks for the input. So far looking at: Heaters Block heater Oil pan heater Tranny heater (is this needed or recommended with a manual?) Any videos yall know of on how to tie heaters together to one extension cord? Insulation I have some mylar blankets I may use in the doors and footwells...
