Just wanted to give an update after having my KJ for 15 months. I've put 12k miles here in Los Angeles and so far it's running like a champ. Of course I did some maintenance on it when I got it last year but I've been driving it and using it a lot and it's been really good to me. I have not had...

Pads, rotors and new fluid in. Went with Stop Tech rotors, Posi pads and VW fluid. OEM rotors and pads went for 43k before metal to metal, fluid also looks to have never been changed. So in all brakes feel much stronger, pedal is a bit firmer too Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

Drove it 800 miles from LA to Albuquerque, did 85-90 the whole way no problem. Averaged 20mpg Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

Im not surprised about the no warranty because of the lift, everytime I've gotten an alignment for my GTI at a non suspension shop they won't warranty it because the car is lowered on coilovers. My go to guy doesn't care and does alignments by hand, but others pull that on me. I know the sizes...

Wow that does look good! How often do you detail it? And by cheap I meant in comparison to Most European paint, I think German paint is the best. But you are right, the paint on my KJ looks great after 10 years, obviously the previous owner took care of it. Japanese paint has to be some of...

Very true, most people have no idea how easy is it to mess your paint up, especially our cheaper domestic paint. Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

Sounds good. I'm into detailing so I get excited when someone says they have just finished detailing their vehicle. I know most people like their Jeep dirty but I like mine clean Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

In for pics [emoji106] I finished my cheap Curt rack I picked up from Amazon. I sprayed it with 4 coats of Rustoleum flat black. I mated it to a set of Apex cross bars I also picked up from Amazon. I wasn't looking to spend a ton of money as I'm not sure how much I'll use the rack but I wanted...

I had the same thought about the California heat when I picked up my 07 a few months ago so I took it to the dealer and had them do a coolant and transmission flush to prepare for summer so if it were to have any issues I could take it back to them. So far it has been running fine. It wasn't...

Lol. I spent the extra and replaced the spare on Friday with the other 4. I don't have a cover so I like the way the tire looks on the back. 215 still seems very skinny for this top heavy truck. The extra tad bit of width I got from the 235's is noticeable and turning response seems greater...

There you go, I didn't know that. What's the point of that skinny size? Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

Awesome, probably sounds clean. I don't know how to tweak audio too much, I just know what sounds good to me. I can do all other mechanical work but I don't mess with electrical all that much other than hardwiring radar detectors or tuning equipment. I'm looking to swap the speakers for...

Wheels and tires can be tricky for some, especially when you start talking about offsets, or for this vehicle backspacing. I had to learn what that means as with all my cars it's the offset we are referring too and not back spacing. I won't flame him for asking, that's what the forums are for...

Technically yesterday but I had a Pioneer stereo installed. I only wanted it for Bluetooth but it actually does a lot more. I have my GTI sound system upgraded so I don't really care about the Jeep's so much but now I am thinking of swapping out the speakers too as the stock speakers are 10...

I agree that it depends on what you get from HF, some tools are fine as you won't use them but a few times. I have broken their tools before but just last week I was doing suspension on two of my buddies cars and I snapped a 2foot SnapOnn 1/2 inch breaker bar. I've also broken a SnapOnn socket...
