Notices
JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

What was done to your JK this week?

Not sure of the total years but mine is a 2007. You can visually inspect the manifold after removing the heat shield and looking for hair like cracks or you will hear it on a cold start up if yours is bad like mine. It sounds like the exhaust is exiting at the motor instead of through the muffler.

What paint did you use? I like the matte look.

I noticed mine when my MPG's dropped and I opened the hood and heard a weird "hiss". I hope this helps!!
It does, thanks! I haven't heard any hiss, but it has gotten harder to maintain my great-for-a-Jeep MPGs. I'll be paranoid and give it a look this weekend.

3.8 mini-van has external headers - the 3.6 Pentastar header is integrated into the block.

Got my reciver hitch put on and whatever-guard on the interior (for the interior warranty or some crap) today. Got to take my freedom panels out today for the first time too! If I had mirrors the doors would be off as well... I'm itching to get them off, might have to scrounge the shop for an old set from something I can make into hinge mounts or something...

Got her back from the shop today. Rust, paint and leather protection package and tinted all the windows. Hopefully I'll be plasti-dipping the wheels and Jeep emblem and tinting the turn signal and tail lights this weekend too!

Isn't the 3.6 used in the "mini van" Has always cracked me up how the 3.8 got labeled a mini van engine as if that's all it was ever used in. Anyways...proceed..
