My 2016 Rubicon came lifted with 2.25" spacers, but I just swapped them out for 2.5" lift springs. I noticed when putting it all back together that the front end links look short and the sway bar seems really far angled down. It looks to me like the links should be longer, so the sway bar would...

Agreed, aside from my spring install this weekend. I ended up pinching an ABS line when putting it all back together, now I have an ABS light to contend with/fix, smh

I agree to all of that. I have a garage and lots of tools, so it makes life easier for sure.

I think I had read the same. The disclaimer was if it was used for mail, fleet, etc you go with the 60K. Not sure on history of mine, so just did it. It really isnt that bad of a job. That vacuum pump is key for sure.

Too funny. I believe around 60k is a good number. Mine is just over 58k, but I dont know the past history so I always change out everything just in case. There was a decent amount of sludge in the pan, luckily no metal bits though.

I got mine on Amazon for $50. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HN4GTQK/?tag=jkforum-20

I just did mine, its a bit of a hassle. I used a vacuum pump (exactly like your link) to get out as much as I could, and have a big pan to catch the rest from the bottom. When you take off the pan, it drips from everywhere. When you take off the filter, even more comes out. I unbolted one side...

Holy smokes, those are pricey. I might just deal with some wind noise... I am ok with noise, just dont want a whistle. But they make those rubber spacers for the fins that is supposed to help.

Looking to install a 50" light bar on my Rubicon. I see they make straight and curved, I assume its just an aesthetic difference. Is there a difference in wind noise as one is closer to the windshield all the way across? Any guidance around the differences would be appreciated.

I let my co-pilot check out the Jeep before our weekend cruise to grab lunch :)

Man, I am not sure why anyone would go back with a plastic one. These things look substantial. Its a bit of effort to swap them, but when i have to do it, I only want to have to do it once.

Akebono front brakes for JK. Per the website, it looks to fit 2007-2018 JK's. I bought these pads for mine and ended up getting a big brake kit with larger pads instead. Brand new in box. $25, you pay shipping.

That Jscan and dongle worked like a charm for me. Pretty cheap truthfully for what you get.

Glad to hear it worked for you as well. It was perfect for me.

I have Nitto Grappler 35's (E rated) on my JK. Running with Fox 2.0's and 30 psi. They came with the Jeep so cant say how they compare to other tires, but I really have no complaints about the ride. It is a Jeep after all.

This is the one I used. The only issue I had was the plug leaked a little after putting the pan on, but I snugged up the drain plug a bit and everything is fine now. If I was doing it again, I should have tightened up the plug before install...

This was helpful, due to buying a Jeep that was already modified. Mine has spring spacers and measured out around 2". I have 2.5" lift springs on the way as a replacement.

I finally got around to changing the trans fluid. The Topsider made it easy for any about to do the same job. I even swapped the trans pan for one with a plug for the next time around.

Agree with all the above. I wish all mods were this easy...

I painted mine with black spray paint and worked great. Thought about buying new ones but they were expensive, spray paint was $5.
