Jeep Wrangler JK (2007 - Present) : Advanced Performance Modifications

Since its introduction in 2007, the Wrangler JK has become highly popular, with nearly one million units sold in North America. It offers more space, comfort, and improved on-road performance compared with earlier models, but requires major chassis, suspension, and drivetrain upgrades for demanding off-road use. A wide range of heavy-duty components has been developed for this platform.

Authors Don Alexander and Quinn Thomas provide detailed guidance for selecting and installing the modifications needed to turn a JK into a capable off-road vehicle. Lift kits from 1.75 to 5 inches allow the use of larger wheels and tires, while springs, coil-over shocks, and sway bars must be combined correctly for proper articulation and ride quality.

For durability and reliability, the book examines pitman arms, drop links, driveline parts, steering boxes, and skid plates. Rugged axle assemblies, upgraded intakes, exhaust systems, and electronic tuning significantly improve the 3.6- and 3.8-liter V6 engines. Instructions for GM LS and modern Hemi engine swaps are also included.

This volume provides the essential information to convert any JK into a strong off-road machine, with clear explanations, practical guidance, and installation procedures for suspension, wheels, tires, drivetrain, and engine upgrades.

Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT: Performance Modifications

The Wrangler line changed significantly with the introduction of the JK for the 2007 model year. Its available four-door version made it more practical for daily use and broadened its appeal. For 2017, Jeep further refined the platform with the new JL and added the Gladiator (JT), a pickup based on the Wrangler.

This guide by Jeep specialists Don Alexander and Quinn Thomas presents the features, strengths, and options of these models across all trim levels. It explains how to improve each system, focusing on suspension, steering, and brakes, which form the core of any off-road vehicle. The authors also detail upgrade choices for axles, driveshafts, and differentials, together with bumpers, armor, and underbody protection.

Essential equipment such as winches, recovery tools, and electrical improvements is examined. Wheels and tires, which are critical when leaving paved roads, are covered for different trim and lift levels.

Whether the goal is to build a capable rock crawler or simply achieve an off-road look, this book provides clear guidance on the full range of available options.
