Episode 895 – Maps Built In!
Off-road Mapping Software built into your 2024 Wrangler/Gladiator!
Trails Offroad™ is very excited about the announcement of our official partnership with the Jeep® brand for the 2024 Jeep Wrangler. Wrangler owners will have the opportunity to experience Trails Offroad™ Trail Guides directly from the powerful in-dash Uconnect 5 system. What an incredible opportunity to guide more enthusiasts to epic destinations with a legendary brand aligned with our core values and beliefs.

The Trails Offroad™ community is broad and diverse, which will never change. We want our members to get out on the trail, regardless of what they drive, with a smile, using our Trail Guides. Look for more information on this release in the future, and on the complete feature list for the 2024 Wrangler.

Pentastar 3.6l Spin On Adapter
Pentastar Cartridge to Spin-On Oil filter adapter fits 2014 + 3.2 and 3.6-liter Pentastar engines. Cartridge Filters have no anti-drain back valve. This product provides faster oil pressure at startup by keeping the upper oil system flooded. The adapter contains a full flow check valve and a unique threaded locking mechanism. Utilizes Schrader valve for oil evacuation when removing spin-on filter. Made and patented in the USA.
This solves a weakness in the design of our 3.6l engines. Dry [oil] starts. The longer your 3.6l sits off, the more oil drains into the pan. During start the oil pump must move the oil to the top of the engine. Using this Baxter Performance Oil filter adapter oil will be in the upper and lower part of the engine! The oil gets to your valve train faster and creates less wear.
I spoke to Kevin Baxter, inventor, today and he says since Northridge 4×4 did an installation video of their product on YouTube they have been flying off the shelves. I was very impressed with this product when I interviewed Kevin and after talking to Roger M. after the last round table I am focused on getting one in my Gladiator. His wife’s JL is in the shop because of a ticking noise after only 20k miles.
I highly recommend you look into this oil filter adapter, because even if the repair is free from Jeep, you’ll be without your Jeep, and there isn’t a guarantee the repair will be as good as it was from the factory.
Fabrication Frenzy, with Larry, JeepingMo
I have a question for you. OK, Jeepers I have a question for all of you. we all have an opinion on what lift kit is the best, and what features make them the best. there are different ways to link everything, 3-link, 4-link, and triangulated 4-link. Each has parts that everyone likes.
Each manufacturer uses different joints and different shapes and sizes of control arms.
Then we have springs and shocks.
Are you running dual-rate springs, or looking at some of the new airbag systems? What about adjustable shocks, or do you prefer a fixed shock and try to pick the best ride for your rig?
So with that, we all like different ways to build our rig. We all get our information for our builds from different places, it could be that our friends have done similar builds, or we have seen something that we like in the system. And budget is always a big driver on what system we buy. Now there is always buying components because you plan on building your suspension, but you have to make a decision on the joints and materials you are going to use.
So with all of that Jeeper, I am putting out a question to you. What systems or components do you run, and why did you pick what you running?
We would like to know what are systems you all are running, please call in or reach out on our discord room and let us know what your running.
