Spray some PB Blaster and let it soak for a little bit. Move the door back and forth, that seems to help sometimes. On the jack, I would place it as close to the hinges as possible so the pressure is more straight up on them.

No, but I haven’t done it yet. T-state is sitting in the garage. Just been busy.

I’d check the battery terminals first. Make sure they are clean and not loose. I’d check the battery voltage if the other two items are good.

It shouldn’t be making any noise. Are you sure the noise is coming from the differential? Is there any play in the driveshaft?

Looks like the pinion seal. Doesn’t appear to be leaking too bad as it isn’t throwing gear oil around on adjacent surfaces. Is there any on the ground after you are parked for a while. If not, while it needs to get fixed seems like it would be okay to drive, but keep an eye on it. Same as...

I have an old Warn on my LJ. One JKUR has Smittybuilt, and two JKU’s have a HF Badlands. Haven’t had any issues with them. That said I’ve only had to use the Smittybuilt once. The Badlands have used a half dozen times. The warn assuming the PO put it on their when they got the LJ it...

Pretty sure the housing and t-stat comes with the rubber seal as part of the housing unit.

Bummer to hear, but I am sure it will work out. See you on the TJ forum!

Absolutely agree. The 8sp would be the reason. I didn’t mean to imply it was the injectors that give it more “zip”.

I will say the Gladiator has more get up and go then a JKU

I heard they stopped making them? I was considering a used diesel Gladiator but the more I researched it sounded like they were having issues so stuck with the 3.6 gas. So far been fine for us and towing out A-Frame camper. Only have had it about 7 months. It’s a 2021 with about 35K...

My son needed a new (used) car a few months ago. I am in my late 50’s. I was appalled when we went. Two different dealerships each pulled the same garbage. Advertise a car for “X” then when they come out they have “required” add of paint protection, interior protection, some other thing...

My son’s is a 2007 that he bought used. I think it’s around 65,000 miles and needed a water pump and catalytic converters. Other than that it’s been fine. Not sure how the PO’s treated it. It was pretty clean underneath in regards to dents, scratches etc. so I don’t think they did a lot of...

I really don’t have an issue with the NSG370. I have an 06LJ and 2015JKU, both Rubicons and they seem about the same to me. Yes they can be a little “clunky” but overall seems fine to me. I learned stick on my dad’s little Dodge pickup and then drove around a manual 72 Datsun 510 for a few...

It’s lifted. I would guess around 2.5-3”. The control arm is angled up too much. The control arms are almost horizontal on the stock suspension .
