Jeep parts reviews

I've been using Mobil 1 10w30 regular and now High-Mileage Synthetic for decades and most of the Jeeps life.

I use one oil - shell rotella. It goes in my XRL my 4.0 Jeep and my 7.3IDI diesel ????

I went from the stock Firestone Destination M/T on my Willys Sport to the Continental TerrainContact A/T and they’re fantastic. My job changed and I have to highway drive about 100 miles round trip everyday. It was a huge difference. Quiet, great ride (for a Gladiator) and my mpg improved, I regularly get 22-23 on the highway with occasional 24-25 vs the sub 20 on the M/Ts. I can’t speak to the off-road element on these, I haven’t had an opportunity. Give them a look.

I think the falkens are very reasonable. Great off road tire and solid on road. Not much noise.

I’m in the middle of doing mine on my JK myself. I forget my mileage, under 100k. I wheel a little bit and plow my own driveway, so that may have contributed.

Like another commenter said, putting a new clutch in is easy. Getting access to it is a decently painful, though.

I got a Sachs clutch kit from RockAuto for about $200, the OEM one I pulled out said Sachs too, so I had some peace of mind that I’m at or near OEM quality for half the price (MOPAR parts were $500 from RockAuto). Kit comes with clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, and pilot bearing.

Throwout bearing on my 2000 TJ blew at 195k, but there was probably 50-80k left on the clutch plate. My last XJ was over 240k and had zero issues (different transmission but I believe the plates were similar).

You don't mention the year of your Wrangler, but my full LuK clutch kit was $135, got a cheap transmission jack from Harbor Freight for $80, had to order a new clutch fork clip for $2.50, that was it.

Dealt with the same dilemma, went with the Michelin’s in the same size. Only about 500 miles in with them so I can’t vouch for snow, but they have been phenomenal on-road, in wet weather, and on the light trails/dirt roads I frequent for larping. Definitely a world of difference compared to the stock Dunlops and the KO2s I had on my Jeep, which I hated because they were so heavy and notorious for sliding in anything but dry conditions.

I like them everywhere except wet roads. I've never been disappointed with their performance off-road and they do really well in snow, better than in rain actually. I can't hear the tire noise over the wind and rattling. Granted, they're the only ATs I've had on my Jeep since it was lifted so I can't compare them to other things. They are not the best option for a daily driver F150 though. They get loud and cup quickly and rain performance is more important with a heavier vehicle, especially when towing a camper.

Proper diagnostics aside, if you end up replacing the pump, stay away from Airtex.

Hope you have a better experience with the Outpost AT’s than I did. Just pulled them off my WK2 Grand Cherokee and disposed of them after 15K. Either way had substantial cracking and dry-rotting in-between treadblocks and violent shaking that went away with new Destination AT2’s.
