You can turn it off (search 'steering wheel dance') or use Jscan if you have it.

Thank you, I appreciate your reply. The Ironman offering looks like it would protect the underside of the cylinder itself fairly well but due to the proximity of the various moving parts, wouldn't do too much to protect the top fittings. It does give me an idea for something I may be able to...

Hi fellow Jeepers, While I was wheeling in the woods, a downed tree branch loosened one of the hydro assist hoses on my Wrangler. I have the hoses wrapped and protected well against abrasion, but the branch made its way on top of the drag link and pushed the 90° hydraulic fitting backwards...

Yes, absolutely a loose or binding water pump can cause a belt to come off the pulley and snap - especially if the belt has some age. If the engine is running fine, you can stop worrying and enjoy knowing you correctly diagnosed and fixed the issue.

Although I've never cut an access hole in a Jeep, I've done several pickups over the years. If there was ever a vehicle that needs one, it would be one that goes out in the middle of nowhere. I'd definately cut an access hole if my pump went out. Drill a hole and go at it with a pneumatic...

Thank you!

I saw a video online where a hard top and freedom panels were painted black inside. Really made the Jeep look more refined. I plan on doing mine, currently researching the pros and cons (like extra weight) of using a good bedliner to reduce noise also.

@WestCoastDan I have the Sunpie headlight and spots on my HD also and like them (only issue is slight yellowing of the lenses). I was considering putting some on the JK but wondered if you've had any issues or flickering with them?

With a rebuilt title? No.

Amazon has some decent stuff. If you read the reviews and ignore the 'Vine' (free product) reviews, you can get a feel for the quality of the product. In all honesty, though, if a company makes something that would sell for $500, they aren't likely to go to Amazon and sell it for $100. It all...

If you aren't seeing any drivability / wear issues, I'd take the money you would have spent on an alignment and put it toward upgrades.

Check your coils. Coil issues show up more when warm.

I'm Spike, from the UK originally, now in Arkansas in the US. I'm a motorcycle enthusiast and like fixing stuff. I had a YJ once, it was the darker side of a love / hate relationship - one of those things where the day I sold it was as happy as the day I bought it. Wasn't the Jeep's fault...
