    Snowbird with a '16 JKU Sport

    When picking up the Jeep Tuesday, the tech had written up his recommendations for other stuff. Radiator’s seeping, water pump too. Valve cover gaskets oozing. Upper ball joints are a wee bit wobbly. Add all that to my list and I’ve got 3 full days of maintenance in my future. And easily $1500...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Dropped it at the local Jeep dealership for a routine transmission fluid change yesterday morning. Picked it up in the afternoon and it was noticeably smoother shifting. First change since I bought it and no idea how long it had been since the last one. I've put 15k miles on since purchase...

    Rough Country Ball Joints

    How many miles did you get out of the Jeep OEM parts? RC is not known for their quality, just saying. I’d swing by my local good parts supplier and buy good name brand stuff.

    If I’m under there chasing a code and the tools come out, I do them all. ;)

    2016 JK P0430 blues

    Take 10 minutes, roll your front wheel up on a curb and crawl under it. Look at the cats - are they old or new. If they're the OEM, it's probably time to change ALL four of the O2 sensors.

    XRC body cladding

    Contact Smittybilt directly? They will know who stocks it. Ahhhhhh! It's been discontinued and NLA.

    Hooke Road rear bumpers with spare tire carrier

    IMO, Hooke Road isn't of the same quality as the Smittybilts, etc. My JKU came with some of their rock sliders and when they rust out, they'll be swapped for Smitty's.

    Need advice on buying a 2022 Sahara

    Honestly? I’m in the give it back and let them deal with it camp. There’s too damn many out there that don’t wobble.

    Gear Ratio for 35" tires

    Minimum 4.56 in my personal experience and from recommendations from the shop that did mine. I went with 4.88 from Revolution and no regrets. If you’re currently running 3.21s, you’ll also need a new ring carrier.

    Towing

    I pulled this trailer at roughly 2000-2200 pounds. It was just ok towing. I wouldn’t consider near double that!

    Looking for tires that aren't noisey

    I’m running Atturo Trail Blade X/Ts in 35”, but they’re available in many sizes. Bought the Jeep, it had a mish mash of mudders on it that howled like a coyote pack at a full moon. Nice and quiet now with the added bonus of good traction offroading. Got 12k miles on them and will replace with...
