    New to me Jeep, came with some problems

    I use only universal. I don't think it's as good as the specific stuff, but it's not far off and it's tons better than mixing. So has the air coming out of the vents been warm or hot when you turn on the heat? If it's not getting up to temp, then the first thing I would do is replace the...

    Best places to buy a remanufactured transmission online?

    I think we are all hoping someone else has a place. I thankfully don't need one for my JK, but I'm in similar need for the AX15 in my TJ, though with that I'll go for a used and attempt a rebuild.

    P0430 Code Catalytic Converter

    Perhaps the farmer focused shops around me are more willing to do that kinda thing. Though at the same time I know most don't like people bringing in random internet junk.

    Tire and Wheel size on a 3" lift.

    Mine above is a 2009 and I wasn't able to use the stock rims, but I've heard that later years can. For me there was a single suspension component in the rear that got in the way. Left rear tire couldn't even be bolted on, I needed more backspace. climb under with a flashlight and see how...

    P0430 Code Catalytic Converter

    Yeah, this should be an easy fix. Exhaust isn't rocket science. Any exhaust shop in business should be able to cut and weld to make this fit.

    What’s up w/ the poor-fitting carpet in our JK?

    Sounds the case to me as well. Until I removed it for bedtred (more on this in a moment) The carpet was perfectly matched in my 2009. I have huskies, so the carpet had to go, or it was just going to be husky colored all the time. I picked up bedtred the rubberized version, and while it's much...

    Can I use a light bar on the front bumper with the factory fog light wiring?

    Stock lights are controlled by the computer and have a set power expectation. You are asking for strange errors by using those wires. Best idea is to run new wires to fuse panel and a switch inside. Don't forget to include a relay. Running new lights isn't hard, but it's more than just...

    Surplus hard top loft storage?

    seats are leather, and I replaced the carpet with the rubber lining a few years ago. These days it's just a quick vacuum of the corners to get it clean. However, anything under the seats just become hair traps, just as a loft would.

    DTE - Fuel Tank

    Check your tires pressures. I've had a low tire pop a bunch of lights because computer.

    Surplus hard top loft storage?

    an interesting idea. I'm unsure of the exact measurements between the roll cage bits, but if those fit between I could see it working. They would have to be tight enough not to droop below the roll cage as there is limited enough visibility. I also would only use the mesh one, you then can see...

    2008 traction control light comes on when turning

    This can also be activated by one tire being lower tire pressure than the other, to include what pressure you are running in general. Worth a look. I keep meaning to get it fixed but, my one tire with a super slow leak eventually causes the speed sensors to throw an error.

    Tires for wet traction.... especially with no ABS

    Falken makes really good tires. What year is your jeep and what part are you needing specifically? A quick search of the internet shows a number of ABS modules available, but it's possible they were for the wrong year.

    2017 Rubicon 2-door has sloppy steering and feels like fishtailing

    Definitely worth a call. If they can't do the work, they may know where you can take your Jeep. A general 4x4 shop, or off-roading would be a couple other search terms. Jeeps really aren't that much different from other off-roaders. It's the solid axles that the standard shop isn't used to...

    Question about LED's

    That is possible. I know for some things, the computer "learns" after a certain number of on off cycles. Lights could be the same. Congrats.

    Question about LED's

    I hear you there, changing out the flasher module would be much easier. If what @Dirty Dog says is the case, I'm not sure what you can do. I experimented with LEDs on my past 2014 (may it rest in piece) and never had any luck beyond the headlights. This was before I had JScan, but I had the app...
