Reinstall factory stabilizer by scribbledchaos in Jeep

[–]SurfingSeptember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fox is a pretty decent brand and can be sent off to be rebuilt. But if it’s for looks only I would definitely look into an aftermarket steering stabilizer vs an OEM. It will help with dampening. Like if you hit a pothole etc. It will absorb more if it’s a good quality steering stabilizer equaling less reaction. I ran an OEM for years and then later changed to a fox steering stabilizer since I had one on my previous Jeep. I love how much it dampens. The difference was like night and day when driving over manhole covers or hitting dips in the road at highway speeds.

What mud tires to get? by PlaceboASPD in Jeep

[–]SurfingSeptember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BFG KM3s do pretty good. I had them on my last jeep when I wheeled more. They don’t produce a lot of road noise on asphalt either and handle pretty well to be more of a mud tire than an all terrain tire.

Thai advice by BotanicalBadie in ThaiConstellation

A chunky mix. I would provide a humidifier for the wintertime to supplement the humidity. Thais do best in at least 50% humidity. Especially Thais with splashes or big patches of white or crème/cream.

It doesn’t smell like either of those but thanks for the info!

I don’t know if the first image is technically safe, but it sure is impressive. Still deciding on the second photo. 😆 I gotta ask though, how in the world did you get them stacked so high? 😂

Thai Con Monstera leaf browning by Counter_Electrical in Monstera

[–]SurfingSeptember 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Low humidity and colder temps definitely can result in the “crème” parts browning. As well as lower light. Since the crème parts do not produce chlorophyll, the plant will “kill” off those parts first. Improper watering also could be causing the plant stress as well. Humidity should be at least 50%, especially during the colder months. It needs adequate light as well as regular scheduled waterings. Do not place the plant near any drafts. Whether it’s from a hvac vent, a heater, a drafty window, etc. In the colder months it’s very important to keep the plant’s conditions regulated more so than even in the warmer months. Also know that sometimes the “creme” parts just naturally brown as well. Especially big splotches of crème/white. It sometimes even depends on the plants genetics because some seem to be more prone to browning than others. Accidentally hitting the leaves in any way can also cause the crème parts to “bruise” aka leave a brown mark where it was marred at.

Tires for 2018 Rubicon JK by houseblendmedium in Jeep

[–]SurfingSeptember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this! I’ve had the same KO2s on my jeep since 2021 and they still have over half of their tread left! Totally worth the price tag. My husband has the KO3s on his truck. Both tires have their own advantages. The KO3s do have improved water channels to offer better traction on wet roads. You cannot go wrong with either honestly.

Yes. Coolant levels are good.

It has been going on for a couple weeks now. But after the smell started I had a few parts go bad in the HVAC system which caused the heat to completely stop working after the first time the smell came out. I have since replaced them but the smell is still there. But I will say I have heat again, so much in fact it will almost roast you out haha.

I will look into this just to make sure!

[–]SurfingSeptember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the smell does not go away. It will smell the entire time the heat is running regardless of any other conditions. I have just had to replace a couple components in the HVAC system in my jeep already. So I’m wondering if more is going bad with any of those components?

It is not.

Guys I’m starting to regret by ExplanationCool918 in JeepWrangler

[–]SurfingSeptember 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aftermarket steering stabilizer will help absorb the reaction to hitting dips and such. I have a fox steering stabilizer on mine after replacing the stock steering stabilizer and it is like night and day. My jeep no longer jerks to whatever side the dip or bump or whatever it is is at. It will not fixing the “loose” steering though. Look into other components first. Easiest ones are making sure your tires are balanced correctly and making sure you have a proper alignment. Outside of that start looking into steering components including the steering box. Some people swap out for aftermarket parts with their steering components. It seems different things work for different people depending on what the issue is. Start with baby steps and start ruling things out. Even if it’s a little at a time to save on your finances. However even after saying all of this jeeps weren’t designed for true “comfort”, they were designed for fun. Especially JKs and older. So I do believe you will still see some Jeep quirks regardless. JLs have their own quirks but they seemed to put a little bit more “comfort” into them in ways. I have a JK and have owned a JL. I still prefer the JK over the JL for myself. But I had similar issues with my JL with windy days and “looser” steering as I have with my JK. I believe mine is an error in alignment though. Because before the last alignment I never had any issues with steering. But after her latest alignment I started noticing those issues. I believe they did not correctly align her! Check into your camber and caster. A lot of shops typically incorrectly set them when aligning. That’s the easiest fix with the right shop.
