Jeep JK Wrangler Torque Settings

March 2, 2009 Cindy 24
As a part of routine maintenance or anytime that you work on your Jeep JK Wrangler, it is important that you tighten any bolt and/or nut that gets removed back to the appropriate torque settings as is outlined by the Factory Service Manual. Obviously, failure to get a bolt and/or nut tightened enough can result in them eventually coming loose and while that can be a real problem, tightening them too much can also be a problem as you can run the risk of breaking them. Needless to say, knowing the proper torque setting for each bolt and nut on your JK is important to know and the list below should help you to know just how much you should be tightening them to.

JKS Jeep JK Wrangler Adjustable Rear Spring Mounts

February 12, 2009 wayoflife 6

Until recently, correcting rear spring mount alignment on vehicles equipped with a CV driveshaft has been a difficult challenge for JK owners. Fortunately, JKS Manufacturing now offers a solution to this problem that is both simple and affordable. Adjustable Spring Mounts install directly in place of the factory lower coil mounts on the rear axle housing. The folded, heavy-gauge steel brackets form extremely strong mounting pads that are easily adjusted to match the angle of the upper spring mounts. As a result, the coil springs are able to function as originally intended and interference with the rear track bar is eliminated.

Jeep JK Wrangler Factory Fender Chop

February 11, 2009 Cindy 59
Even after installing a tall suspension lift, fender rub is a common problem that many Jeep owners suffer from especially if you’re running wide tires and/or have wheels with very little backspacing. Now, the easy answer to fixing this problem would be to install taller bump stop extensions, add more suspension lift or maybe install a body lift. However, by going higher, you also raise your Jeep’s center of gravity and that isn’t going to do a whole lot to help you out on the trail. So, what is one to do? I say, chop your fenders!

February 6, 2009 wayoflife 5

395 Above & Below is a short video that WOLette put together that highlighs an end of summer excursion we did up the Ownes Valley along Highway 395. Along the way, we drove our Jeep JK Wrangler over a quarter mile down into the depths of the Reward Mine, we spent some time visiting the Manzanar Japaneese Internment Camp and then made our way up to the top of the Sierra Nevada Mountains where we set up camp over at the small but beautiful Funnel Lake. While we were there, we took our JK’s up and over 11,000 feet to do some exploring along the baren spine of Coyote Ridge and to take in the outstanding views beyond.

Emergency/Parking Hand Brake Adjustment

February 6, 2009 Cindy 43
Are you finding that you are having to pull up on your Jeep JK Wrangler’s emergency/parking hand brake higher and higher in order to get it to work? Or, are you finding that even after pulling it up as high as you can, your JK still tends to roll on an incline? Unfortuantely, it is not uncommon for your JK’s e-brake to lose its effectiveness over time but fortunately, there is a way to make adjustments to it with simple tools and with relative ease.
