JKOwners.com is a good reference for modifications and trouble-shooting. It's not as active as it once was - perhaps because by its name, it doesn't include JL/JTs - so there's been some attrition, as people change to newer models. Now and then you may get a sharp reply - especially if you...

Very enjoyable reading. Thanks very much!

Back in January, FCA mailed me a coupon for $1000 off a new Jeep product and a $50 gift card for taking a test drive; so I drove a stick-shift JL. I really liked it. Of course, the JL was a new car - so no surprise that it was smoother and quieter. But a lot of things that we all added to our...

I used Air Lift bags in an earlier station wagon, with good success. For my Cherokee XJ, I installed air shocks to overcome loading sagging, and later to negate the sag from weakened leaf springs, and these worked great. I replaced them once, but the ones on the Jeep when I sold it probably had...

When the lower rear 1/4 panels of my XJ (Cherokee) rotted away, I bought reproduction panels from a place in PA - sorry, I forget the name. With that order, I also bought a couple tubes of "1001 Automotive Body Sealer" made by Au-ve-co Products [Auto Vehicle Parts Co., Cold Springs, KY]. I cut...

Jim KE8EYA (General) Baofeng UV-5R HT I've had the license for nearly 2 years; radio, one year. I have yet to utter my first words over it. Waiting for the next trail outing, I guess... Western Michigan

licensed - still no equipment Hi all, I passed the Technician and General tests last August. My intended use is with a mobile rig for on-trail communication and (God forbid) for calling for help if in-need while far off-road. I am still assessing my actual needs, so I have not yet gotten a...

Amateur radio exam preparation - what I did 1. I bought the ARRL Technician exam book. 2. I printed the list of questions & answers from the ARRL site. (First the Tech. and then the General questions.) It helped that I have access to a printer at work. 3. I watched a few of The...

Happy Trails! I am enjoying reading your travel log. Stay safe & best wishes for continued fun...

Thanks for the reply, Bill. I am approaching retirement in a year or two, and I'd gotten the JKU with the intention of doing some overland trips into the West. I am beginning to think that 2M may be adequate - or at least as a place to start.

One DOES need a HAM license to broadcast, except in the case of emergencies. I bought the ARRL Technician test book, and downloaded the set of current questions from the ARRL site. After some study, I registered on the qrz.com/hamtest Web site, which gives sample, random 35-question exams...

FCC Testing After posting in this thread, I realized that mine was an off-topic hi-jacking of the original post. So I started a new thread, instead. Jim

'15 JKU Sport-S 2 1/2" Teraflex lift On Friday (finishing Sat. AM), I installed a 2 1/2" Teraflex coil lift kit. I used the adjustable Rancho (RS9000XL) shocks, which I am still tuning-in. No change to the steering wheel position; no alignment needed. Because the borrowed floor jack...

Subscribed. Happy Trails!

When I carry, it's a J-Frame Detective Spl. in .38 Spl. with a Lasersight. I would like to get a compact .45, as my 5" 1911 - Les Baer Thunder Ranch- is simply too large to tote (I am 5'5", 140 lbs.).

de-badged Anvil JKU I, too have a '15 JKU in Anvil (Sport-S, black hardtop & fenders). Like you, I de-badged mine. Yours looks great with the body-color top. I've had a little "Rubicon regret", but what I have is very capable, with limited-slip in the open rear diff.

SEPTU: Nice lights! When you are ready to have them triggered by the doors' opening, you might check the online installation instructions for AMP Research Power Steps. They identify the wire to tap for each of the four doors. IIRC, in LH kick panel, solid blue is the driver's. In the RH...
