    Mods to make my new Jeep feel like mine

    I can't even remember or post all the names I've called my Jeep over the years.

    Got rear ended

    The odds are much greater the spare could fall off under normal road vibration conditions than you getting a flat and needing that spare. If you really feel like you need the spare, take it off the mount and toss it in the back for the time being.

    Had anyone converted manual windows to power windows?

    I can't imagine having the slightest inclination to take this on unless I was just completely bored and didn't have anything better to do. But, good luck to you all....

    No loud exhausts

    The vast majority of municipalities in this country have noise ordinances. The issue is not that they exist, but how enforceable are they, really? Police officers do not routinely carry decibel meters and most ordinances establish a decibel threshold. Also, police officers are not in the habit...

    2007 Unlimited, Collector Status?

    What's the used JKU market like in your area? Do some research on cars.com, autotrader.com and a few others. Low miles, very good condition... that JKU would fetch around $18k in my market. Don't rely on KBB or other sites that give you a value. Your JKU is worth whatever someone is willing to...

    TPMS receiver module?

    It is my understanding there are 3 receivers. 1 is located on a cross-member bracket near the rear axle, which monitors the rear wheels. 2 & 3 are located in each of the front wheel wells

    Help Identifying Leak Please

    Okay, that's not the rear main. Adapter seal or transfer case seal? Maybe I'm thinking those are a bit further back. But, if it was at the bell housing, wouldn't it be transmission fluid and not oil?

    Help Identifying Leak Please

    To be honest, I don't know. I just had my oil cooler replaced a few weeks back because of a small leak, yet it never put the first spot on my driveway. Seems to me, with the amount of oil on the exhaust, that it would be readily identifiable by the smell or smoke, or both, right?

    Help Identifying Leak Please

    Yeah, that's not AC condensate. Looks like a rear main seal to me.

    Parie City SVOP

    I bought my custom soft spare cover from these folks about 8 years ago and it still looks great. The font, letter color and everything was done exactly as I imagined and asked. Looks like an old military style stencil...

    Daytona Beach Jeep Week

    Actually, the handful of them running rubber band tires on 22" wheels.

    Daytona Beach Jeep Week

    I'm gonna guess this is as close to off-road as any of these machines have ever experienced. "Oh, my God! There's sand on my Jeep! Oh, the humanity!" Sorry, that was probably too sarcastic... apologies.

    Clunking noise coming from rear taking off from a complete stop

    Was going to say U-joint as well. If it were suspension related, I think you'd experience the same thing over every speed bump, driveway, etc.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Took it to the Griot's Garage Goodguys Car Show in Raleigh yesterday. My JKU got ducked while we were inside walking 5 or 6 miles looking at classic cars of all makes and models. Found this '68 Camaro RS convertible. Was parked for a very long time, so the body has been cleaned up and painted...

    Odd problem cooking oil all over the Jeep

    On another note, your municipality and the county health department would have a field day with Popeyes. They're supposed to have a grease trap that prevents that crap from getting into the storm water system and ends up in a lake, pond, creek or river. The county health department will likely...

    Hard Top Buddy (or similar): who has one?

    I just give my wife a yell and we have no issues picking it up and walking it back. No cost in that at all.... well, in a manner of speaking anyway. In reality, I suppose I've dropped a sh!t-ton of money in that investment over the last 29 years....lol.

    2016 JK P0430 blues

    Yeah, don't they have their own particular odor and start rattling when they go bad, too?

    2016 JK P0430 blues

    Posted this on the other thread asking about P0420 and P0430: One of the issues that will also trigger a P0430 is either a high or low voltage to the sensor. And, while this hasn't been mentioned yet, it's easy to check the wiring harness and connectors. My JKU just had the top of the engine...

    Should I sell or keep my 2014 JKU?

    Don't sell your Jeep short (no pun intended). I bought mine in 2016 with 35k miles on it for $32k. Traded my loaded 2009 Tahoe LTZ with 117k miles. Took my Jeep down to $15k. I can still sell my Jeep today in this market for $20k.
