Gives me an idea..... I might have to rule out certain overhead clearances, but...

Which JK model do you have? Reason I ask is the Rubicon has a different spring set up than the Sport or Sahara models, allowing for a little more clearance. Barring that information, a stock set up will let you go as much as a 33 without issues. Just remember to calibrate your speedometer to...

Try playing David Johansen's "Hot, Hot, Hot" and see if that helps. jk... I don't know that I've ever heard of this before but I can almost guarantee it's not a cold solder or bare wire. So, based on the fact the head unit has been replaced 3 times, that it's definitely not the problem. If you...

I have a '14 Sahara with a 3.73 and run 35s with no problems at all. My off-roading is minimal, mostly fire and logging roads, and if it were more I'd put in new gears.

Standard Rubi rear end for a 2015 JKU is a 4.10. If you go with 35" tires, a re-gear to a 4.56 may be a preference. Some will suggest a 4.88, but I think that would depend on your off-road time.

Why not upgrade the speakers in your current soundbar? I did this years ago, replaced the stock speakers with a pair of Rockford Fosgate and couldn't be happier.

Changing the shocks may alter your lift by a fraction of an inch, but what is your priority? Do you want to drop the JKU so it doesn't look so goofy that high off the 33s, or do you want to achieve a smoother ride? Just my opinion, but going back to a stock suspension height with a new set of...

You can always go back to the factory suspension, but I'm sure you don't have the parts when the original swap was done. The Rubicon comes with a different spring than the Sport or Sahara models, I've been told, which gives it a little more lift than either of those. Park a Rubicon next to a...

The pair I bought several years ago are no longer available on Amazon, but these are the shown replacement and look very similar to mine. The only issue I had with mine was both headlights are identical and the tabs on the rear of the light housing don't line up with the slots on the headlight...

I've seen a lot of variety in torque specs for the upper manifold, anywhere from 7.5 to almost 9ft lbs. Maybe back them all off a little and start the sequence over and get closer to 7.5 - 8ft lbs? And the gaskets are not that expensive. I would have replaced them while I was in there.

I know Chino well. Lived in Upland for a while as a kid. And it got to $99.95 in 1979.

Yeah, bad copy.

Could not resist this from when I was a kid...

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Most of the best trails are in the western part of the state in the Appalachian range around the Blue Ridge Parkway. But that's a 6 hour drive from me. There are a couple nice ones if you want to earn a badge just 90 minutes from me down in the Uwharrie area. And then there's the outer banks...
