    2008-18 Jeep JK Wrangler Y-Pipe Insulation Test

    During our recent install and test of our Heatshield Pipe Armor and Muffler Armor exhaust insulation kits, we noticed something on the Jeep JK Wrangler. The exhaust system Y-pipe that connects the passenger side exhaust manifold to the system passes right underneath the automatic transmission pan. And within close proximity to the bottom of the pan. This means a lot of heat being radiated upward into the pan, adding heat to the pan and the fluid in it. Not a good thing for ATF life and the transmission in general.

  2. Off-Road Ready with Heatshield Products

    Flat Fender Jeep Easter Jeep Safari 2019

    It’s fun to hit the trail and go places most people only see in pictures or video/TV/movie footage. It’s not about going fast like a lot of driving is these days, but rather about taking your time and enjoying the scenery while experiencing a unique driving challenge. It’s also an environment that can be particularly punishing for even off-road-designed/prepped vehicles.

    We’re just back from the 2019 Easter Jeep Safari event in Moab, Utah, and trail rides on Hell’s Revenge, Kane Creek, Steel Bender and others. We thought it would be useful to highlight some of the great products offered by Heatshield Products to make your off-road adventure even better and so that y

  5. Cool Jeep Concepts of Easter Jeep Safari 2018

    The Jeep Wrangler is one of the longest produced vehicles in America when you consider its basic design and heritage go all the way back to just before World War II started. From the Willys Jeeps that supported the military, through the civilian CJ series and into the modern era when the Wrangler name replaced CJ.


    Every year in Moab, Utah, off-road and especially Jeep enthusiasts gather to enjoy a week filled with the kind of use the Jeep was designed for, off-roading and trail driving. The event, Easter Jeep Safari (EJS), allows Jeepers the chance to enjoy some of the toughest and most scenic off-road trails in America, surrounded by fellow enthusiasts sharing a passion for America’s iconic off-road vehicle.


    Part of the fun is seeing what kind of Wrangler-based concepts Jeep brings to show off at EJS every year. And these concepts don’t just sit in a lot for people to ogle. They’re actually taken off-road rand demonstrated on the Moab
