Given the symptoms you’ve described, here are a few things to consider: Brake System: Since the noise goes away when you hit the brakes, it’s definitely worth investigating further. The brake indicators being misaligned could be causing intermittent squeaking, but if filing them down didn’t...

Use a diagnostic tool to see if there are any fault codes present in the ECU that might indicate communication issues with the new cluster. Double-check all wiring connections and ensure that the cluster is properly connected. Sometimes loose or corroded connections can cause erroneous...

It seems like you’ve done a lot of the typical troubleshooting steps already, but let's see if we can dig a little deeper. Check Wheel Alignment and Balance Again: Even if you've had multiple alignments and balancings, it's worth considering that after a lot of repairs, especially with...

For tapping into a 12V ignition switched power source in your 2012 JK, a good place to look is at the fuse box under the dash. You can utilize one of the accessory fuses (like the power outlet or radio), as these are typically switched with the ignition. Here's a common approach: Locate the...

You might want to check out brands like WeatherTech, Husky Liners, or even some off-road specialty companies like Rugged Ridge. They often have specific mud flap products that fit well with JKUs and can be installed easily. As for the flap between the front bumper and fender, that can be a bit...

Since you've already replaced the right rear sensor multiple times with no change, the problem could be elsewhere in the circuit. Here are a few things you might want to check: Wiring and Connections: Inspect the wiring harness for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections. Sometimes...

The JLU soundbar is actually a bit different in design compared to the JKU soundbar. While they might look similar, the mounting points and wiring can vary, which may complicate a direct swap. I'm not going to say it won't fit because anything can be made to fit, but it's most certainly not...

No photo attached.

Wait, are you rattle canning it or professionally painting it?
