    Thinking of selling and looking for thoughts

    The only potential benefit is if you find a vehicle you like at the same dealership. You may end up ok financially if they are on both sides of the deal. Still not as good as if you handled it privately, but not as bad as selling outright to a dealer and then buying somewhere else... What...

    LED Headlights

    Agree. When I was looking I checked out Sunpie and they looked exactly the same to me as the ones I purchased. I wouldn't be shocked to find out they're all made by the same manufacturer... I didn't care about the color change ability and, at the time, they did not come with factory...

    Regrets on the wheels and tires I bought?

    Got it! I had read that each numerical increase in the part number is roughly equivalent to 1/4" of lift all things being equal... That seemed to hold true for me: 60-56 = 4 * 1/4" = 1". I got a little more (1/4" or so) but went from springs with 76k to ones with 7k so I think age also...

    Regrets on the wheels and tires I bought?

    Are those JK part numbers? My 2016 Sahara part numbers were: Front: 52126314AA Rear: 68004256AA Replaced with 2016 Rubicon: Front: 52126318AC Rear: 68004460AA The last two numerical digits in each being of key significance...

    Can you post a pic of your Rubi on somewhat level ground?

    Regrets on the wheels and tires I bought?

    Other more informed members may have a better assessment of this but I'll give you my opinion. I haven't seen anything while looking at "small" lifts (2.5" or lower) that call out the trim level - Sahara, Sport, Rubicon or offer different components depending on which you have. Not to say...

    JKU hesitates and sputters when accelerating at low RPMs

    Pedal to the floor, light pedal input, or both? Got it.

    LED Headlights

    FYI - Mine is not a daily driver. I bought these a couple weeks after purchasing the vehicle once I discovered how pathetic the factory halogens were. So far no condensation or any other issues. 100% plug in: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07YZCHLVQ?tag=jkforum-20 Also purchased these...

    Regrets on the wheels and tires I bought?

    Correct. I should've taken a picture of the original Sahara front springs next to the Rubicon springs I just installed but didn't. The free state of the Rubi spring is taller and there is not as much compression due to the increase in spring rate once installed. The OP should be good with...

    JKU hesitates and sputters when accelerating at low RPMs

    Some clarification please. Is this a WOT acceleration and you only get the hesitation initially, or a more typical part-throttle accel? Do you get this if you are already moving and try to accelerate from a low rpm or only from a standing start? Without knowing the answers above, my first...

    Regrets on the wheels and tires I bought?

    That just says the user of the .45 wasn't very good at what they did. 😁 Same can be said with the users of spacers. It's not a fault of the spacer, assuming a quality product. Your suspension won't know the difference if the tire and resulting load are in the same location. You do have...

    Regrets on the wheels and tires I bought?

    Same here. I like the style of the wheel but it needs a larger tire to complete the look, imo. I also don't care for tires poking out from the fenders. Many do, and that is perfectly fine. Just my preference. I think this is the way. There are so many good looking choices out there...

    Brake squeal still occuring after teraflex big rotor / brake kit install.... after 2k miles?

    I can't speak to this kit specifically, but have had vehicles that did this due to the pad compound. If Teraflex is using a compound geared for performance under higher load it wouldn't be unusual for them to make some odd sounds under light load/lower temp.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Agree. I'm not anti-lightbar but this one looks like a total after thought. If you are just going for function it's fine, but if you want somewhat of an integrated aesthetic this isn't it...

    Easy Bikini Top

    So far so good with the Freedom top/tonneau combo! I really like the airflow with both windows down. On some days I will probably pop the tops off, but it's pretty darn good as-is. Out in the wild:

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Good to hear that it was a slower maneuver and no one was injured. Sometimes these things can sneak up on you even when you're barely moving. Sounds like you have a great attitude about it, though!
