    Spare Tire Delete (Convince Me)

    Not sure about the 35” and impact to the Jack. But the 2.5” lift doesn’t have an impact, unless not jacking up at the axle. I guess I figure even I have to call for help at least I still have the tire to change out. We have a Smart which has different tire sizes between the front and rear...

    I suppose you have a point there, I’ll need to rethink it 🧐

    Spare Tire Delete (Convince Me)

    Guess I’m old school, but I want a spare. For rear view have a Wolfbox rear view camera mirror installed, works great. Probably the same thing @Dirty Dog linked too.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    @dirtydog sorry to hear the news, but sound like overall you are doing well which is good to hear. It’s odd there are people on here and though I’ll probably never meet any of you just come to recognize some as regulars and then no postings and wonder where they went. This forum is much...

    Catalytic convertor replacement on 07 3.8

    He ordered them from RockAuto.com. I did’t see any donuts in the kit, just the cat’s and pipe and a couple of clamps.

    What happened to @Dirty Dog ? I don’t think I’ve seen a post from him in a while?

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Okay @BLACKJKU verdict is in. Service contract has agreed to pay the repairs, which are just under 5K, includes all new 4 camshafts, all new lifters, they also found the oil housing starting to leak so it’s being replaced with an upgrade aluminum one (I didn’t ask what brand). There are a...

    Catalytic convertor replacement on 07 3.8

    Thank you for the info, that is a good description as it sort of does look like a donut, just a lager hole 😂.

    Motobilt tire carrier?

    We’ve been happy with ours overall. The adjusting cam bolt is sort of pain to adjust. The assembly was a pain in the butt, terrible directions! I am glad I found a YouTube video someone posted. The latch is a little tricky and sometimes have to push on the top of the tire to get the latch...

    Catalytic convertor replacement on 07 3.8

    My son has 07, 3.8L and finally ordered replacement cat’s. The parts go from the exhaust manifold to the about mid point back. From what I can tell the system simply bolts up to the exhaust manifold. On other vehicles they have had some sort of “gasket ring” where the exhaust mounts to the...

    Not yet. It is scheduled to go back in tomorrow morning for the removal of the valve cover to diagnose the actual problem. I’ll post once I find out the scoop 😃

    What did you do to your JK today?

    So the first response was “let it ride and see what happens, not sure worth the cost to chase it down at this point”. I replied “Well maybe I’d be okay with that if it wasn’t for the extended service contract expiring in September and an engine shouldn’t make a ticking noise”. They replied “We...

    So my Jeep’s battery decided to die. So put in a new battery today. With the aftermarket lights, GMRS radio, winches etc, took a lot longer then it needed to be as had to disconnect most of them from the terminals and of course I didn’t want to do spent extra time trying not to when it would...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    The wife’s JKU developed a “ticking” noise last Saturday so dropped it off at the shop this morning. Sounds like the famous “tick” (well I assume since I haven’t actually heard the famous tick) but sounds like a cam / lifter tick to me. Have an extended service contract which expires September...

    Antenna recommendation

    I have about a 4” rubber antenna. Looks fine and doesn’t hit stuff when off-roading. Not sure the brand but i seldom use the radio so basically it is there for looks. The stock one kept hitting stuff and bounced around.

    Went up the Hungalelti Trail in El Dorado National Forest. Was a great time, even had a few thunderstorms.
