    Spacer Recommendation / Help

    This is a key point along with the post from @BLACKJKU ... Spacers are ok if you purchase a quality part and include them in your regular maintenance routine. They are not an "install and forget about them" type of component.

    Ryobi 1 gallon tank battery compressor

    I wouldn't buy it as an inflator, but if you are looking for other uses that require a tank it would probably be good in a pinch for certain air tools, etc. I have a lot of their 18V tools and have had really good luck with them, including a couple different 18V inflators.

    Would 285/70R17 Maxxis Razr 811 tires fit the original wheels?

    Typically guidance is that they may rub slightly at full lock with no lift or spacer. Yours having Rubicon springs maybe you'll be ok..

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Did you have some symptoms that led you to this or just high mileage?

    Back up camera issue

    I would try to power and trigger the camera independently as a test. When I installed the Brandmotion camera in mine I was having a similar problem with no camera feed to the head unit. First thing I did was test the camera with a lead from a small 12V battery I had on hand although you may...

    Roof rack questions

    Since you were not the one to install it, do you actually use the roof rack? If it were mine I would take it off and never look back, but one of the reasons I purchased my Wrangler was to enjoy the open air experience. I realize everyone has different priorities...

    New to Jeep and need help with driving issues

    Yep, that's what I did. Brandmotion reverse camera for the factory head unit. It was plug and play but one adapter harness had a bad pin. Crutchfield helped me debug and find the issue and then got another one out to me the next day. Great customer service!

    Hey From Montana, New Owner, New to Jeeps

    I bought mine on Amazon - it arrived the next day. I've had Haynes manuals for other vehicles and some of the info is helpful. It's no workshop manual, but good for reference and, like I stated above, the wiring schematics.

    Hey From Montana, New Owner, New to Jeeps

    All of that is in contained in the Haynes manual. I just purchased one for something like $30 on Amazon mainly for the schematics.

    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...
