There is something very strange here. Have you been using the same torque wrench for all of this? Even with cheap lug bolts you should not be breaking them at only 95 lbs. I would borrow a torque wrench put one on at 95 an then set yours to 90 and see what happens. I'm thinking you are way over...

Just a physics point. If it is entering from the bottom, then it should leak out the same way. The next time you empty it, pay close attention to where the water comes out. Put the normal drain to the top and slowly rotate the panel. A panel filling with water should be a super easy thing to...

Because of the way the bulb type LEDs work, I don't think there are any that would actually work well. I tried a few with no success. Full replacement is really the only way to go. You can get them pretty cheap on Amazon and it isn't much more work beyond replacing the bulb. I finally picked up...

You could probably do some Christmas lights inside the jeep. Depending on state laws you would need to be careful with colors and using them while actually driving, but it could be an interesting way to light up the rear of the jeep. This definitely falls under the 'Because I can' category...

If the ESC light stays on all the time, then you need to figure that out. It may be a wheel speed sensor that is causing it. Mine did the same thing yours did, but it stayed on (right at the beginning of a three hour drive), so after a few miles I pulled off the highway, shut down, and reset my...

The only thing I think it could be is a flange with two nuts, or two bolts, or a nut bolt combo that saves you from having to use two wrenches to tighten. They make assembly a ton easier, but if you can get a good cheap bumper go for it. That model might not even come with that kind of handy...

So this is just universal stuff. There is no need to flush. You don't even need to spend the extra money on the fancy stuff. I just put Orielley's universal in my Jeeps. It's actually cheaper than the specific stuff. You can mix this with either of them. The headache comes from mixing the two...

Before messing to much with the computer, I would poking around at the grounds. When a jeep ground goes out all kinds a strange things can happen. For you, I would start at the front disconnect and see what you may have inadvertently done. Go from there. Edit: Oops, there was a page two. Looks...

Unless you are paying top dollar for your headlights, don't expect them the wiring to 100% accurate. They are 15% the cost for a few reasons. Quality control is one of them. A few of them come out of the factory with the wiring colors mixed around. Good practice is verifying functionality...

Bump, can't help as I have the 3.8, but somebody I'm sure has run into the problem.

It's just bad practice to mix treads. At a minimum, in small ways you will have different amount of grip from that corner. Also, the size is going to be slightly different removing the option of 4 wheel drive or you risk breaking something.

I've tried the permatex and can say that it is a waste of money. The first time it worked for a bit, but the second time it didn't work at all. I've been told about the following, and that it works much better, though I've not tried it. I'm tempted to replace part of the line with something like...

For electronic components like sensors the general idea is to use Mopar because for some reason the computer in the vehicle doesn't like aftermarket. However, when you get to mechanical devices like a thermostat it doesn't matter. I know the guys at the local Oriellie's and while I know a great...

If replacing the thermostat doesn't fix it, my next guess would be that there is air in the system. Easy for this to happen if you allow the coolant to get a bit low. Ensure that when you replace the thermostat that you are getting hot air in the cab before thinking you are done. Getting the air...

Just have the shop verify that the sensors are the right ones. Any shop that is worth taking your vehicle to should be able to look at the sensors and tell you, I think the scanning tool they use can tell them as well. Not 100% on that though. The way the TPMS works on wranglers, can take...

The pass side for the 3.8 is a bit of a pain, but still vastly easier than the 3.6 where you have to take the top of the engine off to change the plugs. In general, working on the 3.8 is so much easier than the 3.6.

I'm unsure if they have those exact ones, but at least here is Wisconsin, Oreille's and AdvanceAuto have sections of special bolts and plastic things like this. I was able to find the retention snaps for the fenders there, the carpet stays seem like they should be even more common.

A magnetic phone mount can mess these up as well FYI. The sensor is middle of the dash above the radio.

Here is site that has a ton of information with regards to tires. https://tiresize.com/chart/ I linked the chart part, hopefully for 18 inch, but you should be able to figure it out. The more companies that make a tire size, the easier time you will have getting it. That being said, I'm...

I would make sure that you haven't mixed coolant types. For some reason, the auto industry thought it would be a good idea to update the coolant type with something that can turn into gel if mixed with the old type. for this reason I only get the universal type it can mix with either. I think a...
