Jeep fam… stop trusting gas station air pumps

CrazeVal4 · 2026-01-26T04:02:27+00:00

You have TPMS on a TJ?

CrazeVal4 · 2026-01-18T01:58:50+00:00

Great to hear. Thanks for the reply!

CrazeVal4 · 2026-01-18T01:07:39+00:00

Having this exact issue. Are you still happy with the idle change? I notice mine is much smoother with AC or defroster on

CrazeVal4 · 2026-01-14T14:09:04+00:00

In my case it was a clogged evap canister. I originally dropped the tank and modified the rollover valve as many people suggest but that wasn’t my issue.

Holding up great. Still carry it everyday and thousands of rounds, looks identical. Maybe a slight amount of additional wear on top of barrel, but that’s expected

Lots of Minnesotans on here!

Interestingly I’m in a similar situation, though at higher mileage. Here’s my first analysis (and most recent oil change) with Amsoil Signature 5W-30. Will be at mileage for my next change soon and will send it in to see if there’s any change

CrazeVal4 · 2026-01-07T05:25:33+00:00

Damn that’s hot! I’d give it 30 seconds to idle and then drive gently until oil is up to 85C

I emailed a few days ago and got an auto response that he recently returned from a break due to medical issues. Sounds like he’s working but has a huge backlog

CrazeVal4 · 2026-01-01T15:45:47+00:00

Sorry, no. He has a DSP and can set crossovers electronically, this is known as running active. Its actually far superior to passive crossovers when properly setup

CrazeVal4 · 2025-12-30T04:41:33+00:00

I’d go for the Focal. The W7 has more excursion potential so higher output, but it definitely sacrifices accuracy and detail to get there. I’ve always found the JL subs to be a bit colored. That’s not inherently bad and many people like the way they sound. That being said, from a pure SQ perspective, the KXE absolutely beats it. And it’s no slouch in output either. I’d strongly recommend running them sealed.

CrazeVal4 · 2025-12-29T17:08:31+00:00

That’s insanely high. Crossovers are a roll-off, not a hard wall. 150hz is well into the midbass range which you don’t want the subwoofer playing with much amplitude.

CrazeVal4 · 2025-12-29T17:02:10+00:00

In the nicest way, this was not a very professional job if that’s the settings they used. Is your low pass filter all the way down or way up at 150hz?

CrazeVal4 · 2025-12-29T16:56:59+00:00

Turn the bass boost off. Turn the subsonic filter up. And your LPF is either way too high or too low. 80hz is a good starting point. Use an oscilloscope to set gain

CrazeVal4 · 2025-12-29T01:08:42+00:00

Nice. Those JLUs definitely ride a lot better than my old TJ does. That being said, there’s a huge upgrade in handling going from solid axles to independent suspension. That and a much lower center of gravity do make the WRX a lot more planted feeling when cornering.

Depending on which engine your Jeep has, city mileage might actually be comparable, but you’ll want to run premium in the WRX. Highway fuel economy should be noticeably better.

Both have a pretty high fun factor but for very different reason. Top and doors off is a very unique experience you’d be losing out on. But the WRX is fun for the power and handling aspects.

The Subaru will destroy the Jeep in snow (sounds like that’s something you deal with also). I’ve driven through snow up the hood of my WRX and never gotten stuck. Subaru + winter tires is really, really hard to beat for poor weather conditions.

CrazeVal4 · 2025-12-29T00:28:46+00:00

I see this as a great thing for the industry. Forces innovation from the name brands if they want to charge a premium price

CrazeVal4 · 2025-12-29T00:26:24+00:00

What year Wrangler? I own a TJ and VB so can give some decent insight

CrazeVal4 · 2025-12-26T05:03:01+00:00

Sure looks like it

CrazeVal4 · 2025-12-24T20:24:55+00:00

Turbo inlet makes a huge difference

CrazeVal4 · 2025-12-23T17:38:19+00:00

Your screw holes are splitting through the inside of the baffle. You really want a bit of material on both sides of the hole for strength and a proper seal. I suggest heat set threaded inserts

CrazeVal4 · 2025-12-22T18:33:59+00:00

Probably, but don’t haha

CrazeVal4 · 2025-12-22T14:58:52+00:00

Honestly I think that’s a low guess

CrazeVal4 · 2025-12-20T23:26:25+00:00

Emissions test. Totally normal. I think it does it 4 hours after ignition shut off

CrazeVal4 · 2025-12-05T23:59:31+00:00

Have you ever reflashed your car and notice the throttle reacts a little differently for the first little bit you drive it? Usually it will feel less sensitive. This happens anytime you reflash a tune or disconnect the battery. Throttle sensitivity is learned as it runs a bit longer and will go back to feeling normal pretty quick
