ok if i go to the stock air box and remove the throttle spacer and go to stock plugs instead of the e3,s that are there will it mess up the jeep leaving the jet chip in

weather permitting

Read this thread and you will know what HOAT is, and it's very important you know it if you want your KJ to love you.

Welcome to the forum and it's a very nice and clean KJ you got here!

 

[Porkchop]

Ok the affects of the chip has been relearned buy your Jeep and has no affect on it. It's like its back to stock and doesn't see the chip any more. As for plugs the stock type will hold up to your coils much better then the E3s do a search on spark plugs on this forum to learn. Might want to do a search on HOAT coolant and the affects of not using it too.

Looks pretty but will suck a lot of hot air cooler to run the stock box.

 

[wolfbane]

[wolfbane]

Throw that in the nearest trash container
nothing but a hot air sucker

Top lights are way too tall, first branch will knock them off

regular cooper core plugs, nothing fancy at all No Plats etc just copper core Champion or even Autolite

The Skyjacker may last for a while, first ones they made over 10 years ago were great, then they changed the spring rate to same as stock, so yes they will sag

 

[wolfbane]

Tommudd good to meet you bud
well i don't see any branchs in my future this is just a work truck
i have a modded 2004 arctic cat 650 atv for the fun stuff
but the snow here is killer deep ! lol i drive threw a forest twice a day for an hour and between no lights at all and the black bear deer and moose it is crazy dangerous
hence i wanted plenty of light
and boy do they light up the night lol
but i am thinking about pulling the 4 top lights and just run with the two on the bumper
still bright lol , just not as bright as the 4 top ones
and the roof rack doubt i will ever use that
but i have to say my first impressions of this jeep are really good easy to drive the 4x4 works fantastic especially the 4 low
as for the lift hasn,t saged yet and i was told it has been on there for over 5 years so again as a work truck i think they will last

Again it is a great forum and you guys rock especially with a newb lke me
i am sure us newbs drive some of you oldtimers nuts on here with all of our no searched questions
So on to reading more how to,s

 

[martin_metal_88]

No one here can stand bad treatement of a jeep, it's way easier for us to tell few thing instead of seeing a badly injured jeep. They are peculiar ( never say car or vehicule, they are jeep ) and need the right treatement if you want them to last long. Just use the right part, that is usually cheaper ( like the plug ) than performance one and will run better with better performance.
Keep loving your jeep!

 

[tommudd]

Measure from middle of the wheel to bottom of the flare in front and let us know what that is
Want light off road and back roads with no traffic, try some LEDs

 

[martin_metal_88]

Yeah a 50 inch LED light bar XD we could see you from space
