    Camshafts

    Yeah more basic info would be helpful. I deduced that it was a 3.6 based on statements of six cylinders, overhead cam. Left bank cam sensor is a good thought since the misfires are on cylinders 2/4/6. That would be a common cause... However, this issue seems to be common with both exhaust...

    Camshafts

    I'll state the obvious, but based on the data you provided I would say whoever installed the exhaust cams was off on the sprocket by a tooth.

    2011 JKU won’t start

    Make sure they are pushed down as far as they will go. One of mine was 1/16" or so too high on the post and that was enough to cause occasional issues...

    What all should be replaced when you do a head gasket

    It should have some form of fail safe cooling strategy for loss of coolant. Ford vehicles do but I'm not as familiar with how Jeep does it. Point being that you may be ok having driven only a short distance. Replacing head gaskets is a much larger task than replacing the radiator and...

    Undiagnosed overheating problem

    Have you checked the upper and lower hoses to ensure they aren't getting pinched closed? This happens sometimes either due to old age as the rubber degrades, a blockage somewhere increasing pressure on the flow side (resulting in vacuum on the feed side), or a combination of the two. Since...

    Suggestions needed for trailer hitch

    I guess Reese makes the Pro Series. I think it's this one: https://www.napaonline.com/accessories/reese-receiver-hitch/12d134a5

    Suggestions needed for trailer hitch

    I have a 16 Sahara 2Dr as well... This hitch was on it when I purchased the vehicle but I like that it extends a bit further back. It's a Pro Series, which I know nothing about but it looks no different in construction than any other:

    2014 JKU Won't Start - Advice?

    Have you replaced the OEM battery clamps? Many have had an issue with those, including yours truly.

    2015 OEM 4-pin to 7-pin tow connector

    You didn't say what you are towing... if it's a camper I would get a small 20-30W solar charger and permanently mount it.

    2015 OEM 4-pin to 7-pin tow connector

    Yeah that's what I was thinking too... I made my own version long ago when I just needed an adapter for the 4-pin functions. I get your point but you're not getting much of a charge thru that pin.

    Possible Head Gasket Issue

    Makes sense. When you said you smelled coolant I thought you meant from inside the cabin.

    Possible Head Gasket Issue

    Guessing here, but what about the heater core? Maybe that is about to completely sell the farm and your seeing occasional leading indicators.

    Looking for a winch and lights

    That bumper doesn't really lend itself to a cover, unfortunately: You could buy a fairlead plate and find a inoperable parts-only Warn on eBay or Marketplace and that would do the trick. Or, like the others have said, find the cheapest Amazon winch and bolt it in...

    Looking for a winch and lights

    I'll go one better... If just for looks, then buy a winch cover, stuff with some waterproof material and figure out some clever rigging to the bumper with something high tech like zip-ties:

    Need help with new suspension lift

    For what it's worth I thought your initial response was spot on for what the OP was asking. Since good on road performance is a stated goal, staying closer to OEM is more logical to me than traveling farther from it. @Anvil Jeep Girl rereading the original post it sounds like overall you...

    2010 JK Wrangler OEM Rubicon Electronic Front Sway Bar Rebuild

    I think for the money I would get a anti-rock. Seems like a good solution. Although, I say that without ever having driven a vehicle with one installed. Maybe the on-road performance wouldn't be to my liking...

    2017 Jeep Wrangler Sahara cylinder 5 misfire

    Yep, what I was thinking. I think his was injector wiring... I'm sure he'll chime in.

    2017 1.5-2 inch lift

    I recently went from Sahara springs/shocks to Rubicon springs/shocks + a small spacer in front to help with the rake. For a couple hundreds bucks its working for me until I decide if/when I pull the trigger on something more. It actually looks halfway decent now vs. too low and with more...
