    Custom parking brake solution for a disc brake conversion

    The hinge idea wouldn?t be a great idea in my honest opinion. I have used the hinge style locking system on pieces of equipment that have one pedal for forward and reverse and using the brake isn?t necessary. Safety wise I would be afraid of locking the mechanism up while normal breaking and...

    What did you do to your Jeep today?

    Unfortunately no. It’s just a beefed up 44 front and 60 semi float rear. But I did get ARB lockers and they are both 35 spline now.

    3.6L life expectancy

    The 3.6 is actually a pretty solid engine. The issues are relatively small in comparison to how many have been produced. The bottom end can last 500k miles and the rocker issue should be resolved after replacement. I don’t know of anyone that has had to replace the whole engine. And I know lots...

    3.6L life expectancy

    I have a 14 jk with the 3.6. I’ve replaced my oil cooler, radiator, and all rockers and lifters. 80k when the oil cooler went and 90k when a rocker bearing failed. I drove it 24k miles one summer towing a teardrop around the USA. It really is a solid engine that isn’t too difficult to work on...

    Jeeps and Pets

    I have a 2014 2 door wrangler and haven’t had my back seat installed in about 6 years. I have 2 dogs about 50 lbs each. I traveled 28k miles around the country with them in the back of my jeep. I layed a blanked in the back and stuffed some in the foot rests and never had any problems. The only...

    Mild JK Build

    Even at $350 it’s half the price of a hood and requires way less paint. I will look at just differentials and see if I can order one. I have a Willy’s so I will probably keep it black to go with the factory look. Sent from my iPhone using Jeepz.com mobile app
