Is it an automatic and does it click like this?

JScan is a pretty popular option and I think that does TPMS stuff. It's like $50 for a license and a bluetooth OBD plug. Runs on your phone.

The thing is most people are putting on larger tires, which you're not running at the same pressure you'd be running on stock size tires, so it's always going to be saying "low pressure" unless you have a programmer to change them that way. Plus if you offroad at all and air down, they're...

If you're keeping them might as well have a second set, especially if you're planning on always having a set of winter/summer tires. Not really necessary in a JK if you get some good 3 peak rated AT's imho though, especially if you find yourself airing down. Pretty much everyone in a Jeep...

Hope you meant TPMS there instead of TIPM :LOL: I did that for my winter tires/summer tires on my CRV. My wife drives it most of the time and if I ask her how the tire pressure is she just stares at me like I'm speaking Martian.

LoL yeah I think he was rounding up the drag link, track bar and maybe sway bar in that.

Any idea what the "something with the axel" was? Stock'ish aftermarket drag link, tie rod and track bar you can get for around $500 from places like Quadratec or Extreme Terrain. What I mean by that is basically OEM parts made by Crown and others that make OEM style replacement parts. I...

Unless you're looking at a much newer model it would all need to be replaced anyway. Stock cost for new drag link, tie rod and track bar is about $500. I spent closer to $1500 for top of the line aftermarket stuff, replaced the entire steering system, and got it regeared all in (inc...

It's the same as flat towing any 4x4 with a solid front axle. If it were me I'd make sure it's driveable before trying to tow it. You'd need to make sure all the steering components, driveshafts, transmission, transfer case, wheel bearings, ball joints, diffs, etc etc were all good to go...

You can use a cheap ball joint press if it's too hard to just tighten them on with the nut.

I bought an '07 that needed a lot of work, but got it really cheap and did the work myself. I did a ton of work and put a lot of better than stock parts into it, got it regeared, and have about $20k into it including the purchase price of the vehicle. Check the VIN for the clock spring...

Just gotta make sure to use a 12 point socket on those bolts, especially if there's any rust.

If you're willing to put the work in yourself, you could put $15k in it and have a brand new Jeep, assuming there's no body damage. With the price of used vehicles, you could drop a new engine and trans in it for $8k and have $7k for gearing, tires, suspension, etc. and still come out ahead. I...

Is it still making Jeep noises?

You could also try disconnecting the power plugs to everything except the dash, and only running power to the cluster. One of the most frustrating problems I had with my old FD3S was something similar. After going through the wiring schematics for days, I found there was a common pass through...

If you need grounds straps, the company in this video makes some great ones and they're super cheap. Fast shipping too when I ordered.

I hear ya. It's those annoying little things that get ya. I ended up buying more than one piece of interior trim myself. The Heigh10 seems to be real popular and I've thought about getting one myself. Just haven't been able to justify it to myself with the Alpine that's already in...

Dealer couldn't find a P/N for you?

It's not an easy answer. Did you check your VIN to see if the head was part of a recall? They had a bunch of head issues on these stemming from the valve seats overheating and causing misfires. Could be electrical but all you have there is is the injector and the coil getting it's voltage...

....then went "oh crap, I don't want to spend the money" and traded it in as is.
