You can try a different trans gear at the same vehicle speed to rule that out, assuming the issue follows vehicle speed... Could be driveshaft balance or a u-joint. Your comment about lifting off the gas, however, makes me lean towards either a driveshaft u-joint or pinion bearing. Those tend...

Great example of understanding your use case!!

@Cimmerian just read your intro post and I have a better understanding of your comment. Since you have an 07 Auto you have the 2.84 first gear. Mine is a 16 Auto with a 3.59 first gear. Overdrive also isn't as severe (.69 vs .83) and I have an extra gear in between. Based off first...

Welcome! I didn't realize you could ever get 4.10s in a JK Sahara. Very cool. I learned something today!

You folks either have incredibly high standards or are speaking only from an extreme off-road and/or rock crawling perspective. For reference my auto 2dr with 32" tires and 3.21 is very enjoyable to drive on road. The same vehicle with 3.73s and 35s has more mechanical advantage than mine...

Exactly. Some shops will distinguish between a fluid replacement and a flush. Try to find one that will actually do the filter replacement as well regardless of what they call it... I say that having zero experience with doing this on a Wrangler, but on Ford vehicles new fluid was the...

Glad you were able to get it working again!

I found mine on FB Marketplace. My net price was $150 for 4 springs and shocks off of a Rubicon with 7k miles on them. Couldn't pass it up. If you can't find some good take-offs (low mileage JK stuff is harder to find for obvious reasons) I would go with a set of Bilstein 4600s...

Do those aftermarket headlights have plug and play connectors to the factory harness or are they spliced in somehow? Did you install them or were they already there when you purchased the vehicle? I would start from the headlight and start tracing back to see if there is any visible wire damage.

I have similar mileage on my 2016 2dr and my OEM shocks were pretty much done when I removed them recently...

Everything is relative... I can travel almost twice as far in my Wrangler on a gallon of gas vs. my SuperDuty!

What is not stock about his rig? I agree with @BLACKJKU regarding pressure. What tire is your buddy running and what pressure? That would a good comparison. For reference I just swapped my OEM Sahara springs/shocks for OEM Rubicon springs/shocks and the ride improved in my mind, but...

That is sound advice. I would be inclined to have a fluid flush done first and see if the situation improves.

Thx. With 35's and stock gearing (my assumption) you are putting more stress on the transmission and powertrain in general. Depending on how long those have been on it could be part of the root cause for the relatively early failure. Do you happen to know what final drive gear ratio you...

How many miles are currently on your Wrangler?

Welcome. Note that all numbers provided here will most likely be given in US mpg. Multiply by ~1.2 for UK mpg.

This is a key point along with the post from @BLACKJKU ... Spacers are ok if you purchase a quality part and include them in your regular maintenance routine. They are not an "install and forget about them" type of component.

I wouldn't buy it as an inflator, but if you are looking for other uses that require a tank it would probably be good in a pinch for certain air tools, etc. I have a lot of their 18V tools and have had really good luck with them, including a couple different 18V inflators.

Typically guidance is that they may rub slightly at full lock with no lift or spacer. Yours having Rubicon springs maybe you'll be ok..

Did you have some symptoms that led you to this or just high mileage?
