I'm giving away this book... right now! JEEP WRANGLER JK 2007 - PRESENT: PERFORMANCE UPGRADES
WINNER: Contact me!
https://www.cartechbooks.com/jeep-wrangler-jk-2007-present-performance-upgrades.html
Since its release in 2007, the JK has become wildly popular and nearly 1 million units have been sold in North America. With a wider track and longer wheelbase, the Wrangler JK is roomier, more comfortable, and delivers better on-road performance than its predecessor. However, it needs serious chassis, suspension, and drivetrain upgrades to tackle demanding off-road terrain and rock crawling.
A full complement of heavy-duty suspension, chassis, steering, drivetrain, and high-performance engine parts has been developed for this platform. Co-authors Don Alexander and Quinn Thomas offer comprehensive guidance for making key modifications and selecting the best parts to transform your JK into a superior off-road performer. Lift kits from 1.75 to 5 inches are available, so you can fit off-road wheels and tires for exceptional traction. Suspension springs, specially calibrated coil-over shocks, and sway bars must work in concert to provide the correct suspension articulation and ride quality to scale obstacles and negotiate terrain. To increase durability and essential reliability, pitman arms, drop links, driveline parts, steering boxes, and skid plates are examined. Because the drivetrain must be ready for off-road service, the authors cover the most rugged and reliable axle assemblies available. Exhaust, intake, and electronic engine mapping upgrades make the Jeep 3.6- and 3.8-liter V-6 engines much more potent. It also includes how to swap GM LS and new Hemi engines into the JK for vastly improved performance.
If you believe that paved roads are simply access-ways to the open range, you and your JK need this book. It contains the vital information to convert any mild-mannered street vehicle into an all-conquering off-road rig. Whether it’s lift kits, wheels, tires, drivetrain, or suspension and engine parts, this volume provides detailed information, insightful guidance, and installation instructions, so you build an off-road JK to handle the toughest terrain.

PART TWO - Rapto Worx Fire Extinguisher Mount - JK Seat Bracket - Fire Suppression - Jeep Wrangler
Does it rattle? Is it in the way? Can I get to it? These are the questions I answer in this video...
Rapto Worx Billet Fire Extinguisher Mount
http://raptoworx.com/LP/FEM-1/
RaptoWorx looked at various billet and clamp-style fire extinguisher mounts, and found they could build something better. RaptoWorx realized that vibrations, roll-overs and even UV rays can have an adverse effect the various methods people use to secure their fire extinguishers to their vehicles.
So they built a mount with higher-quality components and craftsmanship that make it reliable enough for racing use and with details not found in other mounts on the market.

CPO Tip: Rubber Bushing Install - JKS Rear Track Bar - Project 2004 Jeep TJ Wrangler
This is such an embarrassingly simple tip... it had to be published. It's the little things like this that sometimes cause us to scratch our heads - especially when it's your first time doing a task. I hope this helps someone who might be stuck - even momentarily - on getting their new rubber bushings to push all the way into their track bar!

Installation of Smittybilt SRC Rear Bumper and Tire Carrier - Project 2004 TJ Wrangler
I helped CJ install his Smittybilt SRC rear bumper and tire carrier. We had a few challenges, but we got it done as usual. I let him do most of the work on this one while I was working on my own Jeep.
This is the bumper and tire carrier combo:
https://www.extremeterrain.com/smittybilt-src-classic-w-tj-yj-76651d.html
As you can see in the video, we didn't get the final mounting bolts in because we will need to drop the fuel tank, and we just weren't ready to do that yet. We'll do that part later.

Stock Rear Bumper, Tire Carrier, and Tow Receiver Removal - Project 2004 TJ Wrangler
In this video CJ removes his stock rear bumper and tire carrier, as well as the Reese tow receiver that was installed. The flag broke on one of the nuts for the tow receiver, so I just grabbed an angle grinder and cut off the bolt... problem solved! We also had to preserve some wildlife during this video. Really. Seriously. Watch.
This is in prep for the Smittybilt Rear Bumper and tire carrier that is going on. We got it from http://extremeterrain.com - but more on that later.
