    Thinking of selling and looking for thoughts

    Private sale will pretty much always be more than trade in value. But be reasonable. That 1800/3500 badge isn't going to matter.

    Regrets on the wheels and tires I bought?

    I treated a guy who was shot in the head point blank with a .45. Bullet never penetrated the skull. But I don't recommend getting shot, either. Sometimes you just get lucky. Doesn't change the facts.

    Regrets on the wheels and tires I bought?

    Tobacco and heroin have been widely used for a long time. Doesn't make them good things. Wheel spacers, at a minimum, lead to premature failure of suspension components to a degree directly proportional to the thickness of the spacers. At worst, they lead to wheels falling off while you're...

    Correct wheels for 37x12.5x17 set up

    As long as you have 4-4.5" backspacing, any wheel width from 8-10" should work just fine.

    Regrets on the wheels and tires I bought?

    Any decision that includes getting spacers is a bad decision.

    Hood / windshield stone protection

    In the past 20 years, I've driven full size trucks, mid-size trucks, Wranglers, and a couple sports cars. I don't see any real difference. It basically comes down to how much highway driving I do. It could be because Colorado is a sand state, not a chemical melt state.

    Hood / windshield stone protection

    Nah... I've not noticed any vehicle that's immune. Have you?

    Hood / windshield stone protection

    Windshields should be considered a consumable, just like oil and brake pads.

    Doors off foot pegs.

    I don't know that anyone has ever done a formal study to see how often these things lead to injury, but 40+ years in the ER has left me with a reflexive negative view of anything that leads to body parts being outside the vehicle.

    Can I put the factory sub from a 2012 JK into my 2017 JK?

    If the factory can put it in, so can you. But, frankly, you'd do better with an aftermarket unit.

    Well that's useful!

    10.1" Android 13 head unit & JBL speakers install $500.

    It's JScan, regardless of what you install it on. I have it on my iPhone as well as on the Android head units I've installed in the Wranglers.

    Gear Ratio for 35" tires

    Changing the gear ratio means pulling both differentials apart and replacing the physical gears in them. If you've gone to larger tires, you probably should do this. Modifying the computer is done to correct the speedometer and such for the new gears and wheel size. You should do this if you've...

    Quick question from newbie owner

    Might be the base of a CB or GMRS radio antenna. You can remove it. Seeing it without the wheel might help ID.

    No loud exhausts

    Unless you can specify a dB level, it's kind of impossible to recommend anything.

    ABS Scanner, 2016 JK

    If your needs include other brands, I recommend the BlueDriver. I leave a JScan dongle in each Jeep and a BlueDriver in the Vette at all times. I keep one of each in the garage for working on other peoples junk.
