For hill start assist, you press the brake pedal down firmly and it holds it the jeep there for just a moment. If you push down on the pedal hard, it'll hold the jeep there but then you can feel when the brake lets go.

Curious as I'm just finding out about jscan. I have a superchips flashpaq scanner. Does the jscan do the same thing? More? If I went that route, I could unlock it and sell the superchips if it did the same thing. I only use it to read codes, calibrated the speedo for the larger tires, and fixed...

TrailRecon on YouTube has a few videos on rooftop tents as well. He goes over several that he has had plus the guys he wheels with and their setups.

I've been debating a roof rack, the Gobi racks are definitely one of the nicest ones. Looks awesome.

I have the nitto ridge grappler in 35s, kind of a hybrid between MT and AT. Quiet on road, very smooth and easy to balance.

I have noticed some rattles and actually re- tightened everything this morning with it being quiet again. Hopefully it's not a repeating issue.

I have a Havoc Offroad Aftershock bumper/ tire carrier. It was around $700. Their customer service has sucked during Covid, but I bought through quadratec. It's got a spot for a hi-lift Jack and brackets for cube lights.

Mine turned out to be a loose negative battery terminal. It was slightly loose but I couldn't tighten it any further. Replaced my negative terminal with a universal terminal and was able to tighten it nice and snug. Haven't had an issue since (knock on wood).

Yeah I have a Sahara too. I want to eventually change them to poison spider aluminum flares. Painted to patch the jeep like they are now.

With 35s, I'd say 3.5 lift. 2.5 if you go with flat fenders or tube fenders.

No expert here but your rear diff shouldn't need a new carrier, just the front (Dana 30 needs a new carrier, d44 doesn't). I've got the same and im looking at 4.56 gears (I'm on 35s). Check another shop, most will do it. Not sure why they wouldn't. Guess they don't need money like most shops do...

I have the Havoc Offroad Aftershock Gen 2 bumper and tire carrier. The bumper and carrier are great, but Havoc's customer service sucked. Once I got all the parts, which took forever, install was easy. It wasn't super expensive like some are. It was around $700. So far, I'm pretty happy with it.

Not to hijack your post but im in the same boat. If I upgrade my front axle to a 44, then I'd feel more comfortable upgrading to 37" tires. Definitely don't want to regear and then decide I should have upgraded and then have to regear again. As far as axles, I don't know where to start looking...

I was going to suggest gears too, though not absolutely necessary. I've been thinking 35s with factory gears for 2 years. Plenty of charts out there that suggest gearing for different size tires. I'd recommend 4.56 maybe 4.88. Anything higher and you're really looking more for offroad...
