Given that the fairlead is painted I'm guessing this was set up for aesthetic reasons. On the bright side, we can be fairly certain that in spite of the "off road life" sticker, the gravel in the pic is the most dirt that rig has seen. That brace looks to be lower than the dif!

Interesting, thank for the info, I'll look into it. It's not super important, just a few situations where it would be handy in the winter.

I plagiarized this from another site, I think it's for the 3.8, but I may be wrong. G100 G101 and G104 - These can be found under the heat shield near the catalytic converter on the right side (passenger for US folks) of the motor G102 - This one is missing from the service manual...

Ok, I thought that was what was meant by the Jscan pop-up, but I wanted to check. I wish the app just allowed you to use the factory buttons.

with a 2" lift this is unlikely. My 2.5 came with a trackbar relocation bracket and while the wheels aren't perfectly centered, you would need a tape measure to tell. They are off by less than 1/2" A 2" lift is considered small and requires very few extra bits. 3 - 3.5" is when suspension...

So playing around with this yesterday, when engaged does the dash light just blink or does it eventually go solid? My factory ones work pretty good and lock or release quickly with the factory switch, but with the app it just blinked forever, never going solid... blinked even after a vehicle...

It does? I didn't know that.

A leaking oil filter is super easy to diagnose with a flashlight. Near the oil filter housing, shine said light at the top of the engine block. Oil pools there, and then drains off the back of the block. Once you know where to look, a diagnosis takes 10 seconds. Probably a youtube vid showing...

So the light never comes on even when the headlights are on? Do the Halo's on those headlights work? If it's the ones I think they are, the Prev Owner would have been required to tap into the blinker wire to get the halo's to work. My thought is that the problem is close to the lights, and not...

In digging around the net, there is a ton of conflicting info regarding this stuff, so before you spend the money, let's find some stuff out. First though, why did you replace the CV? Was it due to vibration? Did you originally install the lift? Does it have adjustable control arms? Is the...

I specifically have only a 2.5" lift because once you step over 3 - 3.5" you pretty much have to replace everything suspension related, and I wasn't even tracking the drive shaft. But it makes sense. With a 4" you will have to have longer control arms, making the axle farther away from the...

Let's start with what it does do. Does the light ever come on? Meaning, when you turn the lights on, does the light come on and just not blink? Do you have LED headlights or the OEM standard headlights? If not, I'm guessing you have tried switching out the bulb? Right? Are you using the...

Grounding wire is broken somewhere. There is a nest of them under the engine someplace, (first place to check) along with a lot of other locations. Dig through these forums for 3.8 grounding or something like that. Also somewhere in the forums should be the wiring schematic for the 3.8. A...

I would love to see if they would actually put that in writing for you. "Fuel tank won't fill due to fault in catalytic converter" Send that to Jeep. Because what they are saying is one of the more blatant lies I've ever heard coming from a dealer. It's like changing your tires because you...

Yeah, ABS and speed sensor seem to be related in the computer's mind.

I don't think all your problems are from sensor bleed-over, but some may be. My primary suggestion is to start with things you can eliminate. With no sensors in the tires, the easiest way would be to get the Jscan app, unless that scanner you have lets you modify the computer parameters, and...

Are the tires actually low on air? If so get that light off. For some reason low air light can cause a bunch of lights to come on. The computer just get's confused. It's worse on the 3.6, but can happen on the 3.8 as well. The previous owner may have changed the PSI number in the computer so...

Did they weld that in there? What an odd mod.

I know on my 2009 Rubicon when I tried to put 285/70/17s on the stock wheels they couldn't even be bolted on the vehicle as they rubbed in the rear, but I've heard here that others with later model JKs could put them on just fine. In addition, sport models used to come with 29 inch tires which...

I'm pretty sure this depends on the year. I don't think there was much difference in the JKs, though I can't speak to the Recon package. In the JL the Rubicon front "fenders" are higher. JK Rubicon packages were more about the lockers, sway bar disconnect, gear ratio, and front end dana 44. I...
