If you're not using them as an arm rest, I've had very good results using Rustoleum Black Fine Textured paint. IIRC, it does come in different shades of blue. The textured paint seems to mask any splotchiness from using a rattle can. I use it every year on my AEV bumper & on my sliders. Blends...

With that many miles, I would also check the wiring harnesses before you start tearing down the engine. Over time, that engine compartment makes wire insulation brittle, or mice like to chew on things. My first thoughts would be just as you did, with plugs, wires, coil packs. Does it only...

The nice thing about this is no flapping :)

"Right way" "Shadetree way"

Its the labor charge involved that makes it expensive if you do it the "right" way.

I don't necessarily think they look cool, but it sure does get some peoples undies in a bunch. If I lived in a desert, I like the concept of clean(er) air being sucked in, but around here, just not needed. But it would keep the mice out!

Either mesh over the inlet or a snorkel (just because I can & it gets some Jeepers so condescending about the utility of them) 😆

I made the mistake one year of lightly tapping the windows of my softtop and split the plastic. I've had soft top jeeps since '85 and that was a new one on me. Word to the wise, tap the fabric, not the plastic ;)

Yup, I have a '16 Sport S with them. Not very bright but functional.

I wonder if it's for the footwell lights?

Since actual diameter is often different than what the manufacturer labels a tire, use a GPS app on your phone and compare. You could also measure the height of your tire and use an app like jscan to set the tire height and correct the speedo difference.

I picked up a Quadratec combo of bikini, windjammer, and tonneau cover pretty cheap a few years ago. Not overly impressed with them. I'm tempted to buy the Bestop version because it looks like there are fewer straps. And Bestop quality is 2nd to none.

Yup, I have a set of those from Quadratec

@Tammyj You can get the factory pieces, but it's a lot cheaper to buy an aftermarket unit, and you'll get a better sounding unit as well. NAV updates will likely be easier/cheaper, too. If you want an easy solution, go to www.crutchfield.com and look around. If you're adventurous, there are...

I've had a similar problem happen once, & my daughter in law had it happen to her jk (my old one) too. I suggested rotating the tires as a easy item to eliminate. Her mechanic father poo-poo'd the idea. Vibration gone. I suggested rotating tires regularly & checking for worn components. In her...
