When you pulled the old motor, how much of the original wiring harness did you keep? Sensors? Is it possible new just needs to learn old? Trying to keep it simple.

The bore you need for heavy duty brakes is 1 1/16" whereas most of the masters are a 1". I did find this on partsgeek: https://www.partsgeek.com/hlpxwgp-jeep-wrangler-brake-master-cylinder.html

This is the same part number I've found on a couple other forums. But there is a noticeable design difference in the 2009-2014 master cylinder and the one you need for your 2007. Check this link and look at the "other brands" section down the page. The W0133-2775579 specifically says it's not...

I found all this reading: Matching Components: The Mopar J8 booster and master cylinder are designed as a pair, with specific dimensions and features that ensure proper functionality when used together. Not Compatible with OEM: Attempting to use the J8 booster with an OEM master cylinder...

Parked my JKU today for what could be a couple months. I'll ask the wife to run her around the block once a week or so. Blew out my knee Wednesday, met with an ortho guy Thursday and have an MRI tomorrow, but it looks to be my MCL and meniscus. Looks like I'll be off my left foot for a little...

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.
