Can anyone recommend some good seat covers for the rear? The only guests I really have sitting back there are a few 4-legged friends and cleaning up after them is a pita

spend the 20 bucks, if it fails, buy another one. that's really my only advice...

I've been looking at this: http://www.amazon.com/Kyjen-OH00679-Ham ... B000MD58MA

This is nice because it can keep the dog hair contained...

I havnt looked much, but this one above covers the whole rear without needing to remove the cover.

I have a Siberian husky, she sheds a ton every day and I just stick her in the back. she loves it back there! after she calms down, she lays down. minimal cleaning required.

My beagle would hate that. He loves to be up front on short rides...specifically the driver's seat. If it's any longer than 10-15 min he likes to go in the back seat and sleep. I normally just lay a blanket down and he makes a bed out of it. It also helps since he likes to dig and I don't need him ripping my seat.

Mine is a little bigger than your beagle now haha. She needs to stay in the back but she's obsessed with the passenger seat. This should keep her back there haha.

He's a good size now, 20-25lbs. I don't feel like I'll break him when he sleeps with us anymore lol

for a Jeep KK, would anyone recommend replacing the spark plugs at 26k miles? all 6? possibly with e3 plugs. <- any good?

since I've owned it, oil has been changed every 3-4k miles, so its been taken care of on that side of things. as well as fuel line and injector cleaner every few fill ups.

They could be shot. I'd replace them for sure.
Stick with the copper plugs.

May actually change my plugs tomorrow. Currently gappig Autolite copper plugs.

I drove a rental Thursday and Friday and managed to get an average of 41mpg on my trip. Sure wish the Jeep got that! But, there's a lot to be said for good tires (and good windshield wipers, for that matter). It rained a lot on the trip and the crappy tires on the rental made me miss the DuraTracs.

Good tires and wipers DO make for a better trip haha. I've been very happy with these RainX ones I got. They've been installed since just before Winter of 2013 and still wipe everything off with no lines.

Those are cheaper than the ones I bought haha. Like I said these are working phenomenally for the past 1.5 years, so I see now reason to change them.

Matt just uploaded a new video. man none of those Jeeps had lockers. kind of sad if you ask me. the builder spent more money on the lift and not lockers... well, you kind of need both.

EDIT: just wondered, I haven't seen many KKs do this extreme of off roading stock, but this guy has opens it seems or a shot LSD. Would this be the auto 4x4 Cherokee? I can't recall what type of selec.... variant it is.

My KK is not this bad. No wheel slippage at all, if it has the stock LSD and bld, then, my gosh!

Went to the dealership today to pick up a part that broke off when I was doing the spark plugs the other day.
Took a while to find out what it was called, but to the best of my knowledge it's the vacuum tube from the throttle body to the vapor harness.
The vacuum tube cracked right at the end closest to the grille. Cost was $9.20 and part number 52125202AC. Picking it up in the morning.

Gageraid · **Posted:** Wed Apr 01, 2015 11:36 am

Installed said plastic vacuum hose this morning.
No problems and very easy to do if this happens to anyone else.

If one was looking to get their Rear Diff oil changed, and just so happened to have a New aftermarket Diff cover to be put on at the same time... What would/wouldn't pay?
- Thanks.

Depends on the cover, I don't think I could pay the $200 for a new ARB but I'd pay $150 for an ARB or Crane or Riddler. $100 for the others though.
