    Do spacers need to match?

    First thing I would do is understand why the wheel stud broke. Looking at the uneven wear patterns on the face of the spacer there was a clear loss of clamp load which caused the wheel to move relative to the spacer. Were lug nut torques not checked or is there a quality issue with the spacer?

    Cold weather issues with radio

    @Sarahbear73 did you see @Chris 's response in the other thread you created? I thought he had some good advice for a next step: Post in thread '2018 JL Sahara radio issue when its 32 degrees and lower'...

    Best LED Headlights

    I have these and they have worked well on my 2016... 100% plug and play. I initially had a connector issue but they quickly sent me an updated set of adapters that have had no issues: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07YZCHLVQ?tag=jkforum-20 Only thing I did with the install was put a small...

    Agree with this... Wheelbase goes a long way (no pun intended - or maybe it was 😂)

    Thoughts about Gladiator towing capacity

    Nice! Wheelbase definitely has a large impact on ride. Sounds like the 8sp is a nice addition on the JL/JT. So are you getting rid of the JK or keeping both? Congrats!

    How far can I drive with a mismatched tire and should I put it on the front or rear?

    Forgot about that since I just have a lowly Sahara! 😂

    What did you do to your JK today?

    @WSS do you just use flux core with that or carry a gas supply? Ever tried aluminum? Thx!

    Very cool! Have you had to use the Readywelder out in the wild yet??

    Soft top downsides?

    That's why I bought this last year. They had a screaming good deal on them. It only takes up a few extra feet in the garage and is easy to use: https://wranglerjkforum.net/threads/what-did-you-do-to-your-jk-today.28768/post-466046

    How far can I drive with a mismatched tire and should I put it on the front or rear?

    Agree. I was thinking he would either have an open front or, if a Rubi, can choose not to engage the frt. locker.

    How far can I drive with a mismatched tire and should I put it on the front or rear?

    Agree. Plug it and run it. If it's in the tread block and vertical it should be repairable. FYI - Most tire shops will repair for free.

    Evap leak video (need confirmation)

    I don't think I have ever left my vehicle running while filling up in all my years of driving. With modern vehicles it's a no brainer, imo, with the EVAP monitor, which will accumulate leak events over time.

    Soft top downsides?

    My 2dr came with only a hardtop. I looked into a soft top as they can found used around here for not a lot of money. It's not a super quick operation to get to a "top down" configuration in my opinion. Not difficult, but far from instant. I opted to just pop off the freedom panels and roll...

    Freedom top seals or leak fix

    Sorry to hear. I think I would be trying to replicate the leak with a hose to understand if it's occuring close to the point you indicated (from the outside) or traveling from some area first.

    Front Mud Guard / Flap

    I hadn't thought of this approach but I like it @Chris ! Simple and more aesthetically pleasing than the flap options I've seen. I don't mind the dirt and can handle that, but the paint chips are another story. I think I'll touch up the damage as best I can and then cover it with some sort...

    Front Mud Guard / Flap

    The front of my rear fender flares get absolutely pounded from the front tires. Being a black Sahara w/painted flares doesn't help! Anyone running a mud flap on the front? I see there are a lot of variances of the molded style and some more traditional flexible flap style. What have...
