So you want to unload what you currently have and plan on replacing them with 5 fresh new wheels and tires?

Worked for me as well. OP, double check your VIN is correct. Or maybe he ghosted too......

The older Jeep gen, 1997 to 2006. The TJ, in my opinion, is more reliable and DIY-able than the latter 2007 and up. Caveat is that the 07 to 2011's had the 3.8 and they're proving to go upwards lf 200k.

When my battery died, I didn't get didly click anything. Just key turn and nothing. New Duracell "Batteries Plus" store (East Penn Manufacturing) and it's been golden since.

Good choice. I use a movers blanket too, so I don't crude up my garage clothes with some of the previous spillages and fluids that are on the carpet.

The left right and vice versa can be the shorter lower arms with a higher lift. It has to do with what is called caster. That stated, have you had your Jeep professionally aligned? They're the one's to confirm if indeed the caster isn't set properly to reduce or eliminate that type of movement.

😂 ya man, I had to put something down on that cold concrete floor. It is funny, though. Sort of like the 'royal carpet' for my Jeep.

Changed the wiper motor. Easy job, btw.

Honestly, unless someone like Rogan or other Podcasts hop on with Sirius, I give them 2 years.

Looks like a toy. But then again, a lot of Jeeps do. Partially what I like about them....they remind me of the Tamiya RC's I grew up with. But ya, those wheels are not cool and def an ass killer / jaw breaker.

To confirm if its the brakes / wheels: Id get it up to 30/35 mph, lightly apply the brake and note if the sound stops. Certainly sounds like something in a wheel. Guessing right front, since its so audible.

@Vman shyt, I gotta follow up and read that link. Previous post gave me the impression they updated the engine within the JK line. Which they must have done along the way, because Chrysler did offer a warranty extension for failing passenger side cylinder heads on the early 3.6's, up to mid...

interestingly enough, I've got friends with the 'updated' version of the 3.6 that had valve train issues and ultimately heads replaced. Both 2017's. One a Willys package. Guess its always a crapshoot. I have heard online mechanics say that the JL versions are the better iteration.

Ive literally considered getting a manual 3.8 Jeep. Probably the sweet spot of the JK gen.

😂 Hell no. That's why I take the ride with the potential buyer. I actually wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Noted that placard as well. Unfortunately, DMV gives those out like candy. I don't know about where you're from but here in New Jersey, handicap spots doubled in many locations. Not saying this gentleman or woman doesn't "need it" but there's lot of people carrying those things around that...

Or if its warrantied. But that doesn't account for labor. A huge chunk of change if paying someone, or a lot of time if DIY.

That is a good question, and my bad for misunderstanding your OG post. I was just thinking quick, get it done solution. Curious to know too if 3.8's can be transplanted into all different models that run it.

There's a place in Lyons, NY that might not be too far from you? I bet they can find you a cheap engine and toss it in your Jeep for a reasonable price. But that's only my guess -judging them by a character Ive watched on YouTube: Automotive Resources https://g.co/kgs/Fye4vn

Ouch, $56k! Nice JLU but that's a butt clencher- lol Nevermind looking at Diesel Jeeps. 😂 I'm still adjusting to the idea of paying 36k for anything used these days. That's def because Ive never bought a new car and likely never will. I can't do it knowing that vehicle loses value the moment I...
