    2012 JKU 3.6l engine "tick". Out of warranty.

    Just for reference. If anyone wants to do this themselves. This mechanic has a method of doing it that will shave about 10hrs off the procedure. I'm going to show this to my mechanic and see if he's willing to try it. This would cut the cost of the tick repair substantially.

    2012 JKU 3.6l engine "tick". Out of warranty.

    I keep mentioning this long thread about the "tick". It actually has over 240 posts in it. Going back to at least 2015. But its on another forum. And I don't know if thats cool to post here. So I haven't. I've been a member in the TJ forum for several years. With a pretty high post count. But...

    2012 JKU 3.6l engine "tick". Out of warranty.

That always had it maintained and repaired at the dealership. Also not the types to off road. It's definitely a...

    Faded bumpers and flares.

    I'm picking up a 2012 JKU this weekend. Only issue with it is the bumpers and flares are a bit faded. I went thru this with my TJ. Tried plastic dye. A product called Forever Black. Didn't work. I even contacted the owner. He said the TJ plastic was the first plastic he'd ever seen it not work...

    I've been reading pros and cons. Opinion?

    What to look for in a JK?

    I think I'm going to replace my TJ with a JK. Is there a thread on here that breaks down issues by year? Or lists years to look for or avoid?
