I use either Pennzoil, Valvoline or Castrol. I did use conventional but it's getting hard to find, it seems most is now the synthetic blend so thats what I have been using. 5w-20 in the 07 and 5w-30 in the 02. I change it every 3 months or 3,000 miles.
I'm in the midwest part of indiana as well. There are 5 or 6 other lifted kj's around here. Two have O.M.E. springs, two have Daystar stickers so most likely have spacers, not sure about the others.
Drove the 07 1000 miles to Daytona Beach Florida pulling a trailer with a bike on it. I think this is 14 trips from Indiana to Florida we have made with zero problems. I gave her a big thank you for getting us here safely.
My 07 had less slop than yours does. I was getting a random vibration at different speeds and it would come and go. I did not have any kind of popping sound though. I replaced the intermediate shaft and CV axle that solved my problem.
Got the passenger side CV and intermediate shaft changed in the 07 after work today. I got the Napa remanufactured CV and crown intermediate shaft from Summit Racing. Hope that takes care of the random vibration in the front.
Just ordered an intermediate shaft for the 07. Going to replace the front passenger side cv. axle soon.
Is the Napa reman. CV axles still the best option?
I tried the dealer and they were no help. They said the bushings came pressed in and could not be replaced and I needed to buy the complete steering rack.
The ones in my 07 don't look as bad as yours, I will wait on them.
Changed the oil, oil filter, air filter and rotated the tires on the wifes 02.
New air filter and rotated the tires on the 07. Also greased the upper and lower ball joints.
Checked all the brakes, fluid levels and suspension parts while I was at it, everything looked good.
We love these jeeps...
