    Replacement radiator

    I've looked into that too. What I've taken away from it is that that area of the Jeep likes to flex. Not so much a problem for plastic, but it causes aluminum to crack. Apparently it's the passenger side that is the common area to leak. I haven't replaced mine yet, but I'm thinking...

    What gears will work best with 35s and highway driving?

    I love the 5.13's on my '07 auto. With the truetracs I can chirp the wheels turning from a stop and for a second I'm fooled into thinking I have a real engine 😅

    33’s vs 35’s fuel economy

    You forgot the light bar!

    Securing a floor jack

    Hilifts are kinda a love-hate thing, and they can be super dangerous (to you and the Jeep) if you're not careful. Also kinda limited where you can stick a hilift unless you have a lot of steel to jack from (sliders/bumpers). The suggested bottle jack is great and they make axle adapters for...

    Overheating

    Have you tried replacing the cap? Easiest/cheapest thing to do if it's not pressurizing.

    What gears will work best with 35s and highway driving?

    There are really three major differences when picking gears: is it a '07-'11 3.8, or a '12+ 3.6 engine. Two different charts is it a manual or automatic transmission. Again two different charts. What is the tire size you want to run. For a good daily driver with some overlanding/hill...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    I agree, but also wouldn't want to be stuck inside with it on fire either. Having one in easy reach and safely secured is a good idea imho. While I wouldn't want to open a hood, I've got plenty of places to jam a hose in and squeeze if I caught it fast enough. Once it's going though, yeah...

    Armorlite carpeting

    Hm the rear mat is only like $45 more than the kit without it, and $122 by itself. Looks like I'll go the same route as you.

    So you got the one with the wheel covers and rear seat covers then?

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Yep. I had tried putting one there and figured a side impact would make it too hard to get to if I needed it. Got a hard molle panel on the back passenger seat kind of behind the center console area. Unless I'm AFU or the Jeep turns into a crushed cube I can get to it pretty easy.

    Armorlite carpeting

    Yeah I was playing around with it too. Noticed all the older kits were at the lower shipping price. Really strange on the shipping as it doesn't say anything about it anywhere.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    That looks great! Also, good on you putting the fire extinguisher where you can get to it. Can you get to it with the door closed where it's mounted? Mine is mounted to the back of the passenger seat with molle so that it's easy to reach over and grab. I figured that's a lot better...

    Ground locations on 2007 JK

    The bolt is on the engine behind the heat shield if it's a ground strap hanging down/broken. Very common. This video includes a place you can buy them, the size of the eyelet and the length to order. I replaced both of mine and they are very good quality and inexpensive too.
