    Does it really matter which brand for mods?

    I have an expensive AEV bumper on my daily driver and an inexpensive Barricade bumper on my son's jeep. The Barricade isn't showing any signs of rust going on 6 yrs, but every spring I have to deal with rust on the premium bumper. I really should take it off and get it redone.

    New to JK ownership

    I don't think that is stock. People do all sorts of things trying to stop leaks. Look at this parts diagram https://www.quadratec.com/jeep-replacement-parts/wrangler-jk/soft-top-hardware-parts-4-door

    ESC light and check engine light come on 2012 Sahara Unlimited

    @Hairgirl55 I would really really encourage you to pick up an inexpensive obd scan tool and an app like https://jscan.net/ or https://www.alfaobd.com/ if for no other reason than to do some initial research before you take it in to a mechanic. They can save you a LOT of money and time if you...

    2017 Sahara new purchase questions

    I have a Dasaita Android 10.2" head unit. It's full android so I can install any app including several mapping apps that have full topos. Lots of flexibility but can be fussy to get just right.

    Replacement steering wheel options

    Use https://www.car-part.com or https://www.autopartsearch.com/ and find a yard that way. If you want to recover it, I've used https://www.redlinegoods.com/ in the past and the quality was very good.

    2017 Sahara new purchase questions

    I agree with @Anybodyhome . While I appreciate the seamless integration & look of a stock unit, the aftermarket offerings that are more easily kept up to date.

    How big can I go on stock suspension 255/70/R18

    Your arguments regarding everything but the runaway wheel could apply to wheels with a different offset from the factory. As far as the wheel leaving,.. hey, not gonna argue, that's why the 🍻 emoji, and I agree that proper backspacing on the wheels is the correct solution.

    Jeep Wrangler JK Cruise Control Retrofit

    Amazon has them, but I cannot vouch for the quality.... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00817CQSS/?tag=jkforum-20 A lot of Mopar stuff for the 2007-2011 JK's are discontinued now. :(

    How big can I go on stock suspension 255/70/R18

    Now @Dirty Dog , all spacers are not created equal. I ran Spidertrax for a while and the hub-centric design makes them quite capable and if installed right and maintained, just as solid as any other part bolted on to the Jeep. That said, you are much better off getting wheels with the proper...

    Is it possible to make the factory radio go to HDD mode by default when turned on?

    It's been a while since I've had that radio, but IIRC, when you "save" the settings, it will keep whatever mode you were in. 🤷

    When using J-Scan do I need an OBDII adapter?

    I have one of these and it works better with J scan than a couple more expensive dongles I have.

    Replacement for pathetic horn?

    Also, there's the 4-note Cadillac set you can get. Nearly air horn levels. If you can find them... Info https://www.local1259iaff.org/cadillac4notehorns.html You would have to get creative mounting them.

    When using J-Scan do I need an OBDII adapter?

    Yup, you'll need an adapter that plugs in to the port. Go to https://jscan.net/supported-and-not-supported-obd-adapters/

    Replacement for pathetic horn?

    When they put in the the 3.6,the horn is MUCH better. Mine is a 2016, and compared to the anemic ones on my 08 & my son's 09,the 16 is very good. Go to car-parts.com and find a junkyard near you that has a 12-18 and snag the horn

    Non-standard D30 axle nut size?

    Oooh. Dodged a major headache. This is one of the unit bearing to knuckle bolts. Stretched it a wee bit...

    Large chunks in differential fluid (no whine)

    it may just be the clips that hold the clutch packs, too. Either way, some inspection and repair is in order

    Non-standard D30 axle nut size?

    Searching, I found Napa has a replacement that's 32mm. Bastages.
