Why not go get the summer tires in a different vehicle? Regardless, if you have to temporarily run a different sized tire, it should be on the front and you should stay in 2WD.

Post #4: I have no idea how old the stuff is, as it was on the vehicle when my wife bought it 10+ years ago.

I think a picture is worth a 1,000 words in this case: At least the paint underneath still looks great. ;)

Our TJ had factory flaps on the front, and I found a set for the rear to cut down on the dirt & debris that was getting all over our gear on the hitch-mounted rack. Our '15 JKU has no mud flaps and it's white, so I was looking at mud flap options for it. What I found were several options for the...

We ran John Bull East (in the TJ) and we head up to Silverado Canyon quite often, just because it's close. There were some other trails off of 74 that I believe are now closed. We are not trail experts by any definition.

Many of the local trails (Orange County) have been closed due to being washed out. I'd love to get some trail time in, but where?

I finally ordered the replacement door entry guard stuff to replace the broken plastic junk that I had installed previously. This time I went with the pre cut adhesive-backed grip tape version.

There are no settings in EVIC or JSCAN to allow for this that I have found. Seems like it would be an unnecessary load while starting, but I can see the benefits of being able to turn them on/off via remote. Curious what replies this receives.

Your JK doesn't have a second horn mounted on the fender near the firewall?

I've replaced about 6, across 3 vehicles in the past 5 years. Prior to that, I can only remember replacing 1 or 2 in the past 30+ years across probably 30+ cars/trucks.

I have to rely on the "frequent buyer discount"! :ROFLMAO: 😬:mad:

You might want to take a look at a few videos of the process before you commit to doing it yourself. I'm all about saving money when it doesn't need to be spent, but I think this particular repair may be best suited to someone that has done it before with all of the horror stories I have...

That's what I would be worried about as well, but it's hard to imagine what might be underneath the previous 'fix'... Maybe it's better to "start fresh" with a good look at what is actually cracked/broken/etc. and then decide on the best 'final fix'. Also, the PO may not have used the right...

It may sound stupid, but I recently used a can of spray sealant on a project, and I think it might be a great solution here. I think it would adhere to the area fine w/o a ton of cleanup and prep. A brush and a rag would probably be all that's needed... this stuff sticks to anything. It will...

I'm no expert, but I would probably try to clean that off and reseal it before replacing anything.
