Protecting your door sills with OE Mopar parts Sometimes it really is those little things that can bug the heck out of you. In the case of our Firecracker Red JLUR, it was the daily use and abuse taking its toll on the door sills. In a short 7,000 miles of use, the scratches at the door sills were serious, in an annoying kind of way. The MPR82215394 Sill Guards are a quick way you can help keep those sills in good condition and they come from Mopar, so you know they’ll fit your JL with no problems. So when the first set showed up here at Northridge4x4 in Silverdale, WA, we figured we’ll give them a shot on our shop JL and show you how to protect your sills while we’re at it. What do you need: Mopar JL Sill Guards pn#2215394. Ease of Install: Half a wrench on the five wrench scale. Seriously, if you can’t install these you should be driving a car. Tools Needed: A few paper towels and some 409 cleaner. The How-To install your Mopar Sill Guards: After only 7,000 miles our JLUR, the scratches at the driver’s door sill are quite noticeable. Sure, it’s not a big deal, but they were annoying to look at. We wiped away the dirt and grime using a couple paper towels and some 409 cleaner. Then set the guards on the sills to check placement and make sure we like where they’re going to sit. Next up was to use the Mopar supplied alcohol wipes to go back over the sill plates, making sure they were ...

Factor55 Flatlink E Winch Shackle Mount

08 November 2024

Blog

Tired of your winch hook clanging around on the front of your winch? Don’t like the look of your winch rope spooled out 18″ and hooked onto your recovery point? Maybe you want to install a flip-up license plate frame? Whatever your motivation, look no farther than the Factor 55 Flatlink winch shackle mounts. Designed with ease of assembly and ease of use in mind, the Factor 55 winch shackle mounts take less than five minutes to install, looks great on the front of your fairlead and give you a more secure attachment point than just a hook alone. It’s what Factor 55 refers to as Closed System Winching. For our installation we chose the Factor 55 Flatlink E (Expert) which features a large pear shaped shackle mounting hole that allows for attachment to either the pin or bow end of common D- shackles, as well as many common OEM recovery hooks. This makes the new FlatLink E more versatile than the standard FlatLink design. However, if used incorrectly it adds the possibility of a dangerous shackle side loading condition especially during momentary slack conditions. If you are more of a part-time recreational wheeler or don’t have a lot of winching experience, we recommend the standard Factor 55 Flatlink which can only accept the pin end of a D shackle and will not allow a D shackle side load pull. To top it all off, all Factor 55 Winch Line Shackle Mounts are engineered, tested and made in the U.S.A. Where to get this Product: Factor55 Flatlink E (Expert) ...

How To Change the Oil in your Jeep JL/JT with 3.6 V-6 Engine

08 November 2024

Blog

Sooner or later you gotta do it… Change the oil in your Jeep JL/JT with the 3.6 V6 engine. The miles are racking up on your new JL and you’re starting to wonder when should you change the oil in your JL? In general, FCA USA LLC recommends that engine oil and oil filter be changed every 5,000 miles. However that can change according to usage, light duty to severe duty, you’ll have different change intervals according to lubrication and filtration needs. But how do you know when you should change your oil and oil filter? Like the later model JKs, Your JL is equipped with what the factory is calling an Automatic Oil Change Indicator System. This AOCIS is designed to give you a warning message on the instrument cluster display when it is time to change your oil. The computer examines the engine use parameters, like extreme hot or cold temps, towing, and frequent short trips, to warn you when the engine oil and filter may need to be changed. This can happen as early as 3500 miles and when the single chime and warning light does come on in your instrument cluster, FCA recommends that the oil and filter is changed within the next 500 miles. TECH NOTE: Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles, twelve months or 350 hours of engine run time, whichever comes first. For SEVERE USE: Change the engine oil at 4,000 or 350 hours run time if the vehicle is operated in dusty and off road environment or is operated at idle or only very low...

What is SuperNano-Web Technology? The Injen SuperNano-Web technology is super small fibers that create a very fine web like structure across the face of the filter media to help catch and contain the smallest of particles and keep them on the surface of the filter for easier cleaning and low restriction. What you need: Injen Air Intake System w/ SuperNano filter, Wrinkle Black finish, JL (pn# INJPF5005WB) If you want something with some shine to it: Injen Air Intake System w/ SuperNano filter, Polished Intake Tube, JL (pn# INJPF5005P.

Whether you lifted your Jeep or just want extra asisstance getting in and out of your tall Jeep, side steps are the perfect solution. That means it’s time to look at some side step systems. Something that’ll protect your new Jeep from door dings and rogue shopping carts and something with some built-in steps that sit a little lower for easy entry and exit. Enter the side step systems from N-Fab… Good looks, good pricing and they feature true drop steps that make climbing in and out much easier. Two different N-Fab Side Steps: Their Predator PRO Side Step system is built from aluminum for light weight and are formed from flat sheet to give that custom designed look. The two drop steps off each rail are placed for optimum ergonomics.

The Ultimate Jeep JL/JT Bumper Upgrade: Grimm OffRoad Winch Plate & Warn Evo 10S

19 September 2024

Blog

Photography By Austin Huckins The Ultimate Recovery System For Your Jeep JL/JT Off-road ethusiasts know just how important a recovery Winch is for your 4x4. A winch gives you the confidence to explore tough trails knowing you can recover you and your buddies out of any sticky situation your vehicles encounter on the trail. After wheeling in my winch-equipped Jeep Wrangler for several years I knew as soon as I picked up my new 2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon that a winch was in its near future. Luckily, my Gladiator came equipped with the Mopar Front Steel Bumper, which features the ability to easily integrate a mounting plate and winch inside the bumper. While I prefer the Mopar Steel Bumper, there are a near endless amount of bumpers that a Winch can be mounted to! Installing a winch to your Jeep or 4x4 is the perfect weekend project for anyone of any skill level. Grimm OffRoad Winch Plate Installing a winch plate into your Jeep JL/JT Mopar Front Steel Bumper has never been easier thanks to Grimm OffRoads Winch Plate that I picked up from Northridge4x4. I chose this winch plate because I wanted a mounting plate that would be easy to install and seamlessly integrate with my factory front bumper. Grimm OffRoads Winch Plate is a one piece design and is constructed from 1/4" steel, giving it the strength to withstand 14,000 pounds of pulling force, more than enough for my application! Because of its one piece design, Grimm's Winch Pl...

How to Upgrade Your JL Wrangler From Stock to Rocklander - Customer Builds

14 August 2024

Blog

David's 2023 Jeep JL Rubicon Diesel "Valkyrie" The term "Rocklander" has recently been gaining popularity in the off-road community, but what does it mean? Put simply, a Rocklander is someone who builds their rig to tackle the most difficult rock-crawling trails around, while still being capable of going on long, self-sufficient overlanding adventures. This blend of rock crawling and overlanding may seem like an odd pairing to some, but in practice, these seemingly two separate types of adventures actually complement each other very well and make for truly legendary experiences. David Little, a Northridge4x4 customer, has built his 2023 Jeep JL Rubicon Diesel to be just that—a Rocklander. Suspension & Steering Upgrades David upgraded his Jeep (affectionately named Valkyrie) to be the ultimate adventure rig, capable of taking him wherever he wants to go with ease. To achieve this, he made sure his suspension was up to the task of achieving maximum flex on the rocks while still providing a comfortable ride on the pavement. David equipped his rig with Rock Krawler's 4.5-inch X Factor Mid Arm Lift Kit. While 4.5 inches of lift may sound like a lot for an overland rig, it's the perfect height for his Rocklanding setup. Not only does he have more than enough ground clearance and plenty of suspension flex to tackle the rocks, but this kit also utilizes triple-rate springs, which provide on- and off-road comfort that surpasses the linear springs on the factory suspensi...
