    Audiophile input needed

    Hey guys, I have an audiophile question about any noticeable differences in audio quality between a CD and a digital file. I know that the answer is not in any way an easy one because so much depends on how much the individual person can actually hear, the quality of the audio system, the...

    How capable are stock 245/75R16 size tires off-road?

    Well, I was tire shopping for the Jeep, and I've really been considering going with the stock 245/75/16 size tires. I currently have 265/75/16 size tires on the Jeep, but the spare is still the stock 245/75/16. I don't know why, but the 265's appear to be about an inch taller than the 245's...

    Question about the smaller stock running boards for 05 LJR

    Hey guys, I've been seriously thinking about installing these smaller stock TJ running boards/ side steps on Big Red, but need to know if they will fit. I think I read that these will not work on Rubicons because the Rubicons have the rock guards installed, and apparently you can't have...

    After quite some time searching for a new in box Mopar soft top kit for my 05 LJR, and being told they no longer exist, I've finally got one! I was able to find one at a dealership that had it sitting in the back room collecting dust. I was very happy to take it off of their hands. Lol I was...

    Seriously, WTH is up with my LJ Rubicon?

    Ok, so I've been having TPS codes pop non stop, even after installing a new Mopar TPS. I figured for craps and giggles I'd change a few sensors out just incase one of the other sensors was giving a weird reading that some how triggered the TPS. I removed the throttle body, cleaned it...

    Questions for anyone with a Bestop Supertop NX soft top

    Hey guys, I've completely given up on finding any kind of colored or heavy quality top from Bestop, they just really don't care about anyone who drives an LJ. The only top they have for the LJ is the supertop nx. I called them and they told me the material itself was thinner and less durable...

    2020 diesel wrangler?

    What do you guys think about the 2020 wrangler with having the 3.0L ecodiesel engine? It's boasting 260HP and 442 ft. Pounds of torque! I'd definitely like to see it in person, and test drive it for sure. Only thing that sucks is I think it's only going to be available in the unlimited models...

    Lots of issues after replacing TPS and disconnecting battery

    Hey guys, I'm having some weird issue with Big Red. The TPS threw a code and I replaced it, once with a sensor from O'Reilly's, ( which didn't work ) and then again with an actual Mopar sensor. It ran great after I installed the Mopar sensor, but then the engine light came back on with the TPS...
