    Is going doorless legal?

    I’m new to wranglers. Actually I only had it home for a day and it’s back at the dealership but that’s another story. My question is when I get it back my son is dying to take the doors off. But I noticed the mirrors are on the doors. Is it legal to ride around without your doors or do you have...

    Time for a new axle??

    Did a quick search and looks like they are for sale everywhere now and have came down in price. Just make sure it’s the one for your Jeep. And even if only one end is bad I personally would go ahead and change both ends while you have the driveshaft out. I tried to post a pic but I’m new to the...

    Time for a new axle??

    The cv type drive shafts are the same type in my grand Cherokee. I don’t know much about lifts but I can tell you these drive shafts can make some crazy noises. When mine went bad is honest to god sounded like someone was sticking an aluminum ball bat in a metal fan. I thought the engine had...

    My Jeep ownership is off to a rough start...

    I guess since I’ve been a mechanic for so long I am more understanding about them telling me not to go off roaring during the warranty. For one thing like the one guy said, it’s not like they would be able to tell, so your pretty much on the honor system anyway. I’ve seen what people can do to...

    My Jeep ownership is off to a rough start...

    Yeah again I’ve already tried out 4hi and 4lo. I did that before I ever bought it. My main concern as far as that goes is the lockers. I guess I’ll just get it in the field behind my house and turn both the lockers on and see what happens. Sent from my iPhone using Jeepz.com mobile app

    Programming jk keys...

    My Jeep only came with one key and I want to go ahead and get some more. I seen a listing for 2 on ebay for cheap. Any experience with these aftermarket ones. Mine has the keyless entry made onto the key. Also I’ve read you can’t program it the easy way without two factory keys. I do have access...

    My Jeep ownership is off to a rough start...

    I’ve already had it in 4hi and 4 low and know they work ok. I was more concerned about the automatic lockers. I don’t really understand how they work. I did turn them on and the lights acted like they worked correctly. I’ll try it out some more when I get it back. Im sure they will have it a few...

    My Jeep ownership is off to a rough start...

    Well that’s possible. Which, being a mechanic, I can kinda understand the thinking. Someone that doesn’t know what the are doing could very easily get out on some trail and mess up the transmission of clutch. But you never know with used car dealers. I have had it in 4hi and 4 low. I am planning...

    My Jeep ownership is off to a rough start...

    I was tempted to do that. But they did tell me any off-roading would void my warranty. I was going to take it to the local Jeep dealership this weekend to let them check out everything. I was especially wanting things like the lockers and the sway bar disconnect checked since I really didn’t...

    My Jeep ownership is off to a rough start...

    Is there any other common problems with these that I need to pay close attention to while I still have time left on the warranty? Ive been a mechanic for 12 years so I’m not clueless about cars. But we don’t have a ton of wranglers come in our shop. Any thoughts or advice would be really...

    My Jeep ownership is off to a rough start...

    I just joined up a few days ago because I was jeep shopping. Well, I bought a 2010 Rubicon Unlimited yesterday. I was a happy guy! Then I get home from work today and smell a bad smell. Long story short I have both front axles leaking pretty bad. They had replaced the ball joints before I picked...

    A new Jeep owner anyday now...

    I’ve wanted a Jeep for as long as I can remember but something always got in the way of me owning one. I’m in the process of picking out a jk unlimited now. Got my financing all approved I’ve just been shopping for the right one. I’m looking in the 2010-2011 20k or less. I’ve been looking for...
