    Ask The Expert- MC Stinger installation tips?

    Chased the threads on the back bottom with a 1/2”-13 tap, then checked the bolts would thread. That worked.

    Ask The Expert- MC Stinger installation tips?

    Anyone have installation tips for the MetalCloak stinger? I didn’t see any directions on the website, and it didn’t ship with any. The bolt holes weren’t lining up on my first attempt late this evening. I started with the back bottom bolts, but fear I started a cross-thread on one. Figured I...

    Back Up Camera to RHB Head Unit

    I did it right after I bought my JK and have gotten my money’s worth. Getting the dealership to enable it was the priciest part of mine ($160/hour). There may be new tech out there to open it up more and without the dealership visit. I followed this walkthrough -

    Ask The Expert- Troubleshooting P0457 after EVAP relocation

    Update: I'm cautiously optimistic that I solved my issue with just a simple battery disconnect. I disconnected the battery for a few days over the Thanksgiving weekend to strip, prep, and coat bedliner in the tub of the JK. When I put it all back together and took it out for a test drive, the...

    TRACK-LOK? Wtf

    I know the Willys JKs came with them on the rear, and I’ve seen them perform where open-diffs did not. For my own Jeep, though, I was attracted to TrueTracs for automatic traction.

    Ask The Expert- Lift height/drive shafts

    After installing the MC 2.5” Game-Changer, my front Rzeppa CV lasted about 7,000 miles (and a few trail days) before the boot broke and slung out the grease. I swapped the CV for the Teraflex Rzeppa pictured ($120). It’s been on a few thousand miles and a long day of wheeling. It’s looking good...

    Tire carriers

    Building off El Sanchimoto and gingerempire's responses, it depends on which size tires and your vision for your Jeep. With my Dana 30 up front, I know that 35" is as big as I'll go, so I went with the hinge-replacement, tailgate mounted solution. If I were building a beast, though, there's no...

    Ask The Expert- Troubleshooting P0457 after EVAP relocation

    What recommendations does everyone have for troubleshooting an evap leak? After relocating the EVAP canister with the MetalCloak bracket, I immediately got the gas cap warning. A couple of trips later, it turned into a P0457 check engine light (EVAP system leak detected). I checked that I'd...
