Plus one on swapping the speakers.

5.7L and 6.1L Hemi casting numbers are on the front of the block, drivers side. 6.4L Hemi has BG or BGE cast into the side or rear of the block. The transmission will have casting numbers as well, but finding out what engine you have will give you a starting point.

Ordered a new TIPM for Mrs. Dogs JKUR.

You will likely be OK with the 35's, but you'd be better off with 4.25"-4.5" backspacing. You're probably going to rub some with 37's. What differential gears do you have? The non-Rubicons typically have 3.23 or 3.73 gears. If you don't regear, the Jeep will be annoying with 35's and a total...

The obvious. Get a 2.5" or higher lift.

I just download them to my phone. Carplay takes care of the rest.

I've had good luck with Gaia, but I'm mostly using TrailsOffroad lately.

JKs do not have this feature. JLs do. You can access it through the settings menu on the infotainment system, or with JScan or the Tazer JL-Mini. They're not "always on" though. They turn on if the temp is less than 40F, and you can choose between coming on with all starts, remote starts, as...

I used my new Morrflate system. Excellent system.

The sensor can't read the temp if it's in an air bubble. And the Jeep will never, ever, burp itself.

If you don't elevate the nose, you will never get all the air pockets out.

#1 reason. I don't like going slow. The tow rating is more about the chassis and suspension. The JK is rated to tow 2,000 lbs. The JKU 3,500 lbs. The Gladiator 7,000. They can absolutely do that. But the rating is based on how much weight before things start to break. Being able to tow the load...

Nice work. What prompted the swap? Did you break something on the OEM axle? The reason I ask is because I've found a TON (see what I did there) of people running 40's on JL Rubicons like mine. No problems, even with the 392. Which makes me think our JK will be fine.

I'd agree. I don't think you're going to be able to buy just the neck. And if you can, you'll have to epoxy it in place. So it makes sense to repair it. Be generous with the epoxy.

It's absolutely possible. But if I was doing an engine swap in a 5,000 lb vehicle that is less aerodynamic than your average cow, it wouldn't be a 90HP, 150 lb/ft engine. You'll need a calendar to track your 0-60 time.
