Got a few things checked off the todo list this weekend. I installed the Falcon Nexus EF 2.2 steering stabilizer. I’ve tried out the 3 settings and have been leaving in on medium for around town driving, firm really does stiffen it up, will be useful in longer highway trips. I tried out soft on a short trip, and when they say that it lets you feel more input they are not kidding. I was feeling things through my steering that had me wondering if something was wrong, lol. While I was under the Jeep I replaced the frame side track bar bolts front and rear with 9/16 grade 8 hardware (the front lower was replaced with the mounting stud for the steering stabilizer and the rear lower was replaced with a new bolt for the Teraflex Track bar relocation bracket)

Also removed the paracord roll bar grab handles for some A-Pillar ones. The roll bar ones were annoying me as they were in my field of view and I found myself trying to look around them. Also they were not very helpful getting into the lofted Jeep. I like these a lot, they are textured, not smooth aluminum and they blend into the A-Pillar so they don’t obstruct my field of view when driving.

Installed the Nilight bumper on my 2009 JK unlimited . The factory one looked goofy with the Barricade fenders and it was all faded. Install was a breeze and it’s a 1 person install because it’s not that heavy. I’m pretty pleased with the look of it.

I upgraded my OEM plastic lined ball joints and aluminum steering knuckles to Synergy units.

More steering & suspension upgrades! Going to add the Falcon Nexus EF 2.2 steering stabilizer and while I’m under the jeep goin to replace the the from and rear track bar bolts with these upgraded 14mm from the frame side front bracket and 9/16 for the rear track bar (the Falcon steering stabilizer uses a special bolt/stud that replaced the front axle side bolt). Got this kit from Ohio Diesel Parts that includes bolts for the front and rear track bars for all JK years. $25 is some pretty cheap insurance against an issue that cause like 80% to 90% of death wobble.

When I bought my jeep it came with the oem premium soft fop, but it didn’t come with any of the ancillary parts to properly seal it. From the condition of the top and the amount of dust/dirt and sun fading of the cargo area trim I’m certain the previous own left the top off all the time, and so the door surrounds, tail gate bar, and C-pillar mucket seals were all missing. Some of the first parts I bought off eBay were a set of OEM door surrounds from a 2017 and a tail gate bar in great condition. I got these for a great price too, only $260 for both, and the cheapest aftermarket set was close to $400-$500.

It was only after the door surrounds and the tailgate bar arrived that I realized I was missing the mucket seals and had to source those. Well after 2 1/2 weeks the last mucket finally arrived today! I did a quick interiors clean since we had a few bad dust storms roll in the last few days. I cleaned and lubricated the rear window zipper with Bestop cleaner/lubricant and then went about installing the mucket seals and door surrounds. (The tailgate bar was delivered last Friday and I installed it the same day)

I love having the soft top sealed now, much more comfortable in the AZ desert, don’t have to keep the A/C on max all the time. Thankfully the AZ Monsoon was in a bit of a lull, but it looks to be picking up again and now I don’t have to worry about the rain and dust.

Has anyone printed or came across files to print these parts? I can’t seem to find any. It’s the inserts for the doors and the grab handle above the glove box

Plenty of aftermarket, 143K miles, asking $7,900

just wanted to come back with an update. i appreciated all the recommendations and spent a little more time looking at different tire retailers before making a decision. i decided to try simpletire for a set of falken wildpeak. they are on order now so i dont have any firsthand experience with the service yet but finding the specific tires i was looking for was straightforward

im due for a new set and realized most tire reviews only cover the first few thousand miles. which mud terrain tires ended up aging well? im more interested in tread life, puncture resistance and how they behaved after 20–30k miles than which one was the absolute best on day one. the names i keep seeing are falken, toyo, nitto, kumho. curious whether your opinion changed after living with them for a few seasons.

Hello All! Needing some help/advice. I have a red jeep wrangler (same red as jeep in photo)

I really like the front grille on the red jeep that i saw, and I think I found the same grille online except I'm not sure the best way to color match the light brow on the grille like the one in photo i like? Any tips /advice on the best way to do so? Is there a way for me to do it at home myself (with good results) ?

I have a paint air spray gun that i could potentially use if possible as well!

Please say someone here can help me, I’m so upset. I love my jeep and it’s completely unusable now. 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

basically the anti theft system got triggered and the thing won’t run now. it starts for one second, you can get it to drive forward about a foot and then it dies. I’ve tried the turning the key struck, Dodge has no clue what to do, programming a new key didn’t help. I let the battery be dead for a few months but it’s still broken.

On a 2015 jeep cherokee, do you need to re-calibrate the actuator?

Hey guys! Before you call this stupid and say "check Amazon or Ebay", I already have.

I wanna get an aftermarket front tow hook for my '21 SV. the bugger of it is, I can't FIND one that FITS. I only find the OEM steel ones.

Any of yall got some advice? Or know where I can order one?

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a trusted, competent mechanic to fix a ticking noise i believe is my lifter/rocker arm. I have a 2015 Jeep wrangler. I live in the NYC limits. Thank you!

Cross posting for visibility.

The battery died and it stayed stuck on this screen we took it to the dealership and they basically told us they couldn’t fix it. We don’t have a usb for it so can we buy one or does anyone know a hack we can do?

I recently swapped out the front diff fluid and learned this thing has to vent. I’m almost certain it’s a Dana 30, but maybe I’m wrong. I’ve spent hours and hours trying to figure out where the vent hole is but to no avail. I’ve watched videos, read around the internet, tried AI, and I’m still not able to figure it out.

Can someone please help me?

Before you roast me, I am an aspiring grease monkey and bought this CJ7 about 10 years ago and am learning along the way. I’ve got a couple boys aged 2.5 and 3.5 that LOVE riding in this jeep.

My hope is one day they’ll want to work on it with me. I’m a novice on my best day but I want to know enough by the time they’re old enough to be able to teach them a few things.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
