    Aftermarket mufflers and (VA) Safety Inspections

    Anyone used Permatex products? (edited entire thread) Specifically, the "Permatex, Inc. 80331 Muffler And Tailpipe Bandage" For some reason, I can't stop a leak where the tailpipe and muffler connect on my Magnaflow kit. When I block the tailpipe, exhaust leaks out in this area. "Why...

    Wiring and connectors...

    Does anyone know the AWG on the wiring that attaches the HU? I'm trying to crimp on connectors to the battery and accessory wires without stripping or soldering. What are those called and where can I find them? Thanks!

    Flashing LED (simulated car alarm) wiring

    I got one of those flashing LED's off eBay (simulated car alarm)... There's a white wire (constant 12V+)...okay Then there's a black wire (12- ground)...yup, makes sense Finally, there's a yellow wire that says "connects to any 12+ Accessory Wire for the 12+ when the ignition is on"...Huh...

    How to add an extra inch or two (to the stock jack)...

    I had a flat recently... jacked up the KJ with the stock jack to the max height, pulled out the flat... when I tried to install the inflated spare, it would not fit; the KJ was not jacked up high enough (because my KJ is lifted). Lucky for me I found stacks of plywood nearby so I stacked them...

    Tire Pressure Alarm

    I had a flat tire...rolled on it for almost a half mile to find a suitable place to change it with the spare. Of course, the tire pressure alarm (not from an EVIC; just that amber light) was going crazy. I got the tire repaired and all tires are at 33-36 psi. But my Tire Pressure Alarm keeps...

    Where's a good temp sensor location?

    I've installed one of those auto-dimming mirrors with temp/compass. I tied the temperature sensor with the factory one within the grille (meant for the EVIC--thinking it was the perfect place for it). The average temperature here is around 73-80 degrees (F), but the readout always goes...

    How far can the average KJ go?

    Okay, I live in a small country, commute in a crowded city (thus, I get the absolute worst gas mileage) so I have to ask... I'm planning on taking two 200-mile trips (to and from)...probably averaging 65MPH the on each trip. Can the average KJ make that trip in one full tank or is that risky...

    Where in the fuse box?

    A buddy sent me one of those auto dimming rear view mirrors with a compass and thermometer on it. I'm a little unfamiliar with the wiring part, though... I plan on running the wire from the mirror across the ceiling (tucked under, of course), down the A pillar to the fuse box. Where in the...

    Heard a loud *clunk* when steering...

    I have the Daystar coil spacer lift kit installed. This morning I was in a crowded parking lot trying to back out. I had the steering wheel steered all the way left and pumped on the accelerator a few times to back out carefully. Then I had to steer all the way to the right and that's when I...

    "How" do you listen to music?

    For you guys or gals who have like 800-1000W RMS power going into a sub, up to what volume level can you listen to music before it drowns out the highs? The problem I'm experiencing is that when I turn the volume up to about 80%, the bass kicks so hard you can barely hear any highs. It's not...

    Email notifications...

    I have "Always notify me of replies" set to "No". But starting two days ago, I keep getting notifications from all the threads I've posted in. It's flooding my inbox like spam...can I have this fixed, please?

    Need advice on subs...

    Hi. Need some advice on subs & enclosures... Basically, I'm looking for a little more "boom" to my bass in the simplest way. How would you compare a ported enclosure (Type 3) to a bandpass enclosure? I read articles and they say the bandpass gives off "maximum slam", but is there a really...

    Firestone Firehawk Indy 500

    Are these nice tires? I've been to tirerack.com and read a few reviews, but couldn't find any from KJ owners so I was hoping to get some opinions. They seem pretty low cost and I don't go off road or anything. I'm just looking for anything that is ten times better than these Crapyear...

    Bluetooth Audio...opinions?

    Has anyone had any experience with this? Scosche IPBCK Bluetooth System What do you think? I know it's a bit pricey, but it sounds like a good idea for long trips with buddies who each have their own iPod or portable mp3 player with them. Usually, I tell them all to keep burning CD's...

    Got my KJ lifted!!

    Yeah! Got my KJ lifted! \:D/ Sorry about the terrible pic...live in the city. Yes, I'm a big poser with my 2WD, but it still looks good! :-$ Yes, I know...I need new tires. ](*,) So, how much did you guys pay to have a lift kit installed (incl. alignment and stuff)? I'm just trying to...

    Question on K&N Air Intake/Air Charger/Performance Kit..

    What's the difference between a Performance Intake Kit (77-1540KP) and the Air Charger (63-1103)? They are almost $100 apart in price, but just looking at the descriptions, they basically do the same job (?); increase horsepower and make cool noises from the engine. O:) Then there are...

    Stock Goodyear Wrangler ST

    This may be a dumb question, but are the stock Renegade tires really that terrible; enough to be hazardous and unsafe (my actual question)? What concerns me is I've noticed my KJ's tires screech much more than my previous sedan over just little things. My KJ fishtails a little when turning a...

    Horn Chirp on an "EVIC-less" 05

    I noticed I am not able to disable the horn chirp on my 2005 KJ when activating the alarm by remote using the instructions in the manual. I see that I'm not the only one who is having this experience according to the "HOW TO: Tweak your Keyless Entry settings" discussion, but that...
