  1. Interesting moment for me from The Motor Oil Geek.

    At this point in the video they are talking about PAO motor oils and their inability to burn. Link is below. So I’ve torn into this 3.6 for head gaskets. I wonder if I’m seeing signs of this in my engine. It seems my PCV valve was letting too much oil into the intake tract so I’ll be replacing...
  2. Cam-Crank Relearn Device help

    I’m just thinking ahead and trying to figure out if this can be done properly without having to take it to the dealer to have them hook it up to their computers to do it. I’m new to this and would appreciate any info or guidance on whether it’s possible and what I’d need to purchase for this 21...
  3. Torx or Torx Plus

    Ok, I’m into it doing head gaskets and so far these Torx appearing bolts have been low torque and no issues removing them. Then I see a post in a YouTube video comment section making me question the T30 I’ve used so far for the timing chain guides and tensioners. This person said they are...
  4. 10/2025 NITTO Tire Recall

    See attached pics. Grabbed this from a FB group.
  5. My Grimm Offroad winch plate install

    If you’re in the market, I picked up this Grimm Offroad winch plate for about $320 out of pocket. The install video I found was a little dated (reusing factory bolts) and I felt it left out some of the real install delays you might come across. Some of these tips will help speed up your install...
  6. Alldata DIY Service Manuals

    Hey, just thought I’d give a heads up that they are having a really good special right now. Last week it was 20% off when I signed up again but now they have the 25% off promo code SEMA25.
  7. Possibly my first ever blown head gasket

    First one in over 30 years of owning cars if my guess is correct. Recent history- 21 Rubicon 3.6. Currently 109k miles. Mostly highway fwiw. Has never been overheated. Did a full coolant flush twice around 100k miles. About the same time, all new spark plugs and latest oil cooler. 106k...
  8. Found some rust starting under the carriage.

    I attached a pic and have a couple of ideas but thought I’d get some feedback here. See attached pic. It’s not bad yet but I’m hoping I could stop it at best or slow it down at worst. Ideas? It’s behind the driver’s front tire at the first mounting point for the steps/factory rock rails.
  9. To re-spool your winch faster, anyone remove a few feet of line?

    I’ve thought about this. Mine came with 100’ of synthetic line but it’s kind slow trying to re-spool the line so perfectly to keep the line from rubbing on the top of either my Warn Zeon Platinum I had on and the Comeup Seal Slim 9.5 that has the two reinforcement bars like typical offset...
  10. Heads up. Grimm Offroad winch plate is $240

    Looks like there’s a sale going on and it’s showing in stock at Northridge 4x4. Great price! Better than the $320 I bought it for last winter. Labor Day sale? I’m doing an install video right now along with a how-to of making your own sheet plastic fog light wiring covers from removing the end...
  11. Sprung a leak.

    Driving home from work yesterday all seemed fine until I pulled onto my street and gave it a little bit more throttle than normal. The garage was not even a tenth mile ahead and from that point on I had steam coming from the front of our 3.6 Rubicon. I popped the hood and could see coolant on...
  12. 3.6 Camshaft TSB

    So this guy posts this on FB. I don’t know if it’s BS or not. I’m out of warranty so I don’t think I’ll get any love from Jeep at this point. Should I try anyway? I just picked it up from the cam/rear main seal repair today. That hurt the wallet. I needed the rear main seal, and the typical...
  13. Feedback on your 2.0 with 4.10’s & 35’s

    My Sahara 2.0 had 4.56’s on 35’s, ran great. Decent hwy range for those trips out west getting about 20-21 mpg but I had to sell. These days I’m looking at getting a Willys or Rubicon 2.0 and wondering how much of a penalty I might see in performance and hwy range if I run the same 35’s (pizza...
  14. My 3.6 passenger intake cam is wiped

    I took over my wife’s ā€˜21 Rubicon after I needed to sell the other Jeep that had equity about 20-25k miles ago. She was in sales and almost drove the wheels off. We bought it used with 3500 miles on it in April of ā€˜21. It now has about 106k miles. With a couple of exceptions, oil was changed...
  15. You’ve only got two weeks off, where would you go?

    You’ve only got two weeks off, have to drive from Indiana, and rarely get time off to drive far to get to trails and do some camping, and I’ve want to go west. Where would you go? I do have some reasonable constraints. I have the family with me so I’m thinking up to moderately technical trails...

    If you’ve not done it before, this will give you a quick but thorough run down on this simple service of your transfer case.
  17. V8 swapping a 2.0 vs 3.6 equipped JL

    Considering a 2024-2025. If, by chance, I wanted to V8 swap (much) later, anyone know if the 2.0 or 3.6 is easier to swap from? Besides tuning, I started thinking about the fuel system changes. First hand knowledge between the two starting points would be great but if not, what are your...
  18. Are deletes gonna be legal?

    I know it’s not definite but it seems it may be possible. As a somewhat ignorant guy in regards to the 3.0 diesel, would you be looking forward to this possibility? What would the benefits be, especially in regards to reliability and longevity?
  19. What’s a rear main seal replacement running these days?

    I put my new inspection camera up in there and, damn the luck, my rear main seal AND upper oil pan are seeping.
  20. Anyone have feedback on this hitch slider?

    I wonder if it comes out far enough. I’ve only got a 35x10.5ā€ spare on the factory spare tire mount but wonder if this slider is enough to help when coming off a taller ledge. Anyone have any feedback or thoughts on this hitch slider? https://a.co/d/7aamAqe Thanks
