    F150 shocks on KJ?

    The factory f150 shocks suck hard. I don’t know that they would be damped enough even for a kJ. The rear of the new 2015+ F150 is pretty light since it’s aluminum and probably not much heavier than a kJ. The shocks don’t do a great job controlling the truck unloaded never mind with a trailer or...

    Problem with Lovells Springs

    Same thing happened to my jeep with OME springs and upper plate/clevis spacer. Bumps and holes in the road caused the UCA to hit the spring and bang. I already have the JBA arms so I decided to remove my clevis spacer and lower the jeep slightly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Towing with a CRD?

    I towed my buddies ~4500 lbs Mastercraft X1 wakeboard boat through the mtns of New Hampshire with my Jeep. It was stock at the time except for my GDE hot tune and it was able to tow it. At highways speed it did have some trouble pulling the hills. I typically had to put the hammer down but it...

    Looking to buy

    I would make sure that they used a good oil and changed it religiously. The Rocker arm wear due to soot in the oil is an issue and if they were just running regular 0W-40 and not a turbo diesel specific oil at huge intervals than it would scare me a bit. If they have a GDE tune then that is a...

    2004 Jeep kj 2.8 crd EGR Removal

    See here: https://shop.sasquatchparts.com/product-category/intake-elbow-kits/ I cant promise that it will work on your jeep but the stage one kit disconnects the EGR from the intake side, the stage 2 kit allows you to remove the entire EGR assembly and block the hole in the exhaust manifold. I...

    best 2.8 CRD mods???

    GDE Tune for sure. Its a huge mpg improvement as well as power. With regards to the Torque converter, you should get the tune and see how your jeep reacts. I have GDE's hot tune and havent done a thing to my TC and have only experienced shutter a few times when towing ~5000 lbs. I have zero...

    Rock Lizard Warning

    I ordered via Paypal which only allows a 45 day contention period. I preordered in early July so it was already outside of the contention period when I was supposed to get it in late august early september. At this point he just has my money and I dont think I can do anything about it.

    Only 4Lo??

    Arnt you supposed to be rolling to shift into Part-time and full-time 4wd? It sounds like you were already stopped when you tried to engage it based on your description. I know that mine wont engage until I roll a bit.

    Free Recall Hitch question

    Yes i am pretty sure it is because of the liability issue and, additionally, they are putting them on all KJ's even if they did not originally have to tow package(IE no trailer wiring or HD cooling.) They dont want people towing with these vehicles. If you did have the tow package then they...

    Rock Lizard Warning

    I am not even mad, I just wanna know what is going on. From what I have seen it seem to be a few people who have a really difficult time getting their orders but a bunch of other people have no issues whatsoever. I am glad to hear that he puts out a quality product, the icing on the cake would...

I pre-ordered the new Convertible rack they show on their site in early july and was supposed receive it end of august, early September.

    CRD Frankenlift vs OME/Ironman

    Yes i do know about the CRD specific springs just trying to figure out the differences. The drivers side CV on the CRD is shorter because they had to slide the front diff over to accommodate the motor. It naturally sits at a steeper angle since its shorter so it will start to bind sooner than...

    CRD Frankenlift vs OME/Ironman

    I have been searching for the last few days to try and figure out what I want to go with for a lift and my biggest questions so far are almost entirely around the CRD Frankenlift: What differentiates the CRD Frankenlift from a standard OME/Ironman lift with clevis spacers and top plates...

    HOW TO: Tow Stuff (Hitches, Harnesses and Brakes)

    Why does the supplemental harness plug into the cigarette lighter under the radio. What function could this possibly have? The supplemental harness connects directly to the battery so why would it ever need to connect inline to the lighter? Update: I was looking at the the wiring diagrams and I...

    HOW TO: Tow Stuff (Hitches, Harnesses and Brakes)

    I am wondering if it is not the moon roof that requires the secondary harness. I assume The KJ's that have those would also have EVIC's. The moon roof switch is located on the EVIC's from what I have seen. I unplugged the plug that was there, and plugged in the two matching in-line plugs on the...

    HOW TO: Tow Stuff (Hitches, Harnesses and Brakes)

    Hi Everyone, i am fairly new to the jeep, I bought a 2006 CRD back in August which came with an aftermarket hitch but no trailer wiring. It is a limited and has the EVIC but no moon roof. I bought the mopar 7 pin harness that plugs in behind the cargo area panel and runs down to the hitch. The...
