I still growl when I think about what my '68 Fastback Mustang would be worth now. It had the 390 cu in big block V-8. Factory four on the floor.

Depending on which state you hang out in, and probably how long you have had the vehicle and problem with it, there maybe a lemon law that can help you. As and side, but related question, did you or your wife ever notice whether the engine warmed up properly?

When you think about what a lift does, it moves the body mounted portions of the suspension upward. It does not affect the differentials, which are mounted in the axle assembly. They are affected only by tire diameter. So a lift kit will improve your cross-over clearance without changing the...

Definitely.

I had a '15 Rubi and it did not have a second spare underneath. I think that if you check, the second tire would be on a nonstandard, added mount. It will also affect your ground clearance to some degree.

Mine never cranked slowly. It started, and then about no crank. That's why I asked about the age.

Yep. It can get cold too. One night climbing the pass from Truckee, I had to completely cover the radiator of my truck to keep the engine warm enough while running. Coming to Truckee from Reno the engine was in a decent state, but climbing the pass, the needle just started dropping.

How old is the battery? I just replaced mine and the symptoms sound similar. I have a '16 and the battery was the original.

Yes. The two pinion points you have highlighted: passenger-side tie rod pinion and passenger-side end of track bar should be as close to in the same plane as possible. The ideal is for the two pinions to describe _parallel_, concentric arcs as the wheel and axle moves up and down. The arcs...

Thanks. I didn't recall it as more than two.

I have Jscan on Android. The biggest drawback is that you have to register, pay to get the most out of it. You are also limited, IIRC, to two vin numbers.

The distance from the tailgate to the front seat can be a problem if you're tall and want to close the tailgate when you turn in. You have an inch on me, and I find it too tight. I'm in a 2016 JKU. You might have to get creative and move the front seats as far forward as you can.

Final results. I installed an AGM 94R. The old battery is "technically" a 48, and the small add-in spacer for the 48 size was in the tray. The 94 is a tight fit.

I used a tape measure I keep in the center console. That's how I found that the dimensions of the battery appear slightly off spec. I posted because the last time I had to change out a battery was around 1993. Things have changed since then, and there is precious little space under the hood...

Thanks. That's what I found. The dimensions on the battery are slightly different than the dimensions listed for battery group sizes, which is what puzzled me. I tried looking for Jeep specifications for the OEM battery, but hadn't found anything from Jeep. My repair manuals lack the...

Can someone identify the battery group size for the 2016 Rubicon? I have a Hard Rock edition with the original MOPAR battery - now seven years old. Just recently I've run into situations after a short run where the starter just grunts. I have a jumper that works, so while it has been awkward...

My first 4X4 received its first workout immediately north of the Prairie City SVOP where the mall complex is now. It was an Isuzu Trooper, 1990, and in 4-Lo could creep along at a pace slower than I walked. I rolled down the windows, and would hop out to open gates while it faithfully chugged...

It's called the Mojave Desert. Checkout TrailRecon YT videos.

I use the recommended 5W20 fully synthetic. No issues so far.

Mine connects with my phone within seconds. I have the same type of phone (Note9). My JKU is a 2016, and that might make a difference. Do you have a manual for your JK?
