Pacific Rim Job posted:We got a JK (08 Unlimited Rubicon 6spd) last week, took it out this weekend for some tame fun. With no one to pull us out if we got stuck, we didn't do anything that was likely to get us stuck. New front bumper with winch is on the way. Sup Rubicon buddy. I have an 08 two door rubi, it continues to surprise me on where it can go, but some upgrades are definetly on the way.

Pacific Rim Job posted:Yeah we scratched the interior plastic up already also. Not even doing anything crazy, just from stuff like putting something on the dash to rest momentarily, then taking it off. I want to remove all the carpet and Rhino Line the inside anyway, obviously the aesthetics aren't that important. Pretty much those things you just listed, and a cb. Then probably a lift and nicer tires cause i can. My plastic bumper is all dented from rocks already.

Because Chrysler makes terrible traction control systems. Theres a code on the JKs to turn it off forever, turning it off normally doesn't really turn it completely off, and the 4hi trick still leaves some elements active. Its only really off in 4lo or when you use the code. I put the code in on mine the 2nd day I had my Rubi and haven't looked back.

I don't remember exactly, I turned the entire system off after the first time i took it off road and it started beeping at me.

Braincloud posted:What kind of lift do you have on there? How's the ride? Is it still as cushy as the stock ride. I've been thinking of lifting my JK Rubi but really love how cushy it is on the road and don't want to put on a stiffer suspension.

Tossed_Salad_Man posted:I think I just came. Commandos with the top on look absolutely weird to me. My uncle has a green one with the baby AMC V8 and I don't think its had the top on in 20 years. Probably the ultimate island cruising vehicle. I'll try and find a pic of it somewhere.

fordham posted:That's a bit too much money for that many miles. Yeah, I ended up with a 2000 Sport 4x4 with 150k on it for 3 grand. Everything seems to be in order except for some minor surface rust on the rear axle and leaf springs. What should i hit first as far as maintence goes?

FAROESE WAFFLEHOUND posted:Three weeks old. Might wanna spend some more time looking at your new JK then. In the center console, or on the radio itself will be an aux input to plug your ipod into. No fancy poo poo required, except maybe an ipod charger.

incredibull posted:Saw a movie with my dad, they played this, he said HURR THAT'S COOL, which was a surprising reaction from him. Chrysler is playing the patriotism thing pretty hard. Too bad like you said nobody will take that thing offroad any time soon and it looks more like a minivan than ever. Not exactly related, but the new zr1 commercial takes the same idea of hurr america and actually makes it cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MaUe3bpRRY

What should I be looking for in a CJ jeep? I want something to restore and dick around with, not for serious crawling. What motor/trasn combo held up the best in the CJ 5/7's?
