    Clunking noise coming from rear taking off from a complete stop

    Was going to say U-joint as well. If it were suspension related, I think you'd experience the same thing over every speed bump, driveway, etc.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Took it to the Griot's Garage Goodguys Car Show in Raleigh yesterday. My JKU got ducked while we were inside walking 5 or 6 miles looking at classic cars of all makes and models. Found this '68 Camaro RS convertible. Was parked for a very long time, so the body has been cleaned up and painted...

    Odd problem cooking oil all over the Jeep

    On another note, your municipality and the county health department would have a field day with Popeyes. They're supposed to have a grease trap that prevents that crap from getting into the storm water system and ends up in a lake, pond, creek or river. The county health department will likely...

    Hard Top Buddy (or similar): who has one?

    I just give my wife a yell and we have no issues picking it up and walking it back. No cost in that at all.... well, in a manner of speaking anyway. In reality, I suppose I've dropped a sh!t-ton of money in that investment over the last 29 years....lol.

    2016 JK P0430 blues

    Yeah, don't they have their own particular odor and start rattling when they go bad, too?

    2016 JK P0430 blues

    Posted this on the other thread asking about P0420 and P0430: One of the issues that will also trigger a P0430 is either a high or low voltage to the sensor. And, while this hasn't been mentioned yet, it's easy to check the wiring harness and connectors. My JKU just had the top of the engine...

    Should I sell or keep my 2014 JKU?

    Don't sell your Jeep short (no pun intended). I bought mine in 2016 with 35k miles on it for $32k. Traded my loaded 2009 Tahoe LTZ with 117k miles. Took my Jeep down to $15k. I can still sell my Jeep today in this market for $20k.

    Should I sell or keep my 2014 JKU?

    Yeah, I had one, too. For a very short period of time when I was in the Navy.

    Should I sell or keep my 2014 JKU?

    My 2014 has a new lease on life based on it's 7 days in the shop. Same as you, top end of the engine rebuilt with cams, lifters, etc. new oil cooler, axle seals, diff gaskets, etc. Mine has 135k and has been meticulously maintained. There's no question I'm keeping mine given the shop that did...

    JK wheel speed sensors

    Few weeks back we were headed into Raleigh and the speed limit on the interstate is 70, in other words, everyone was doing 80. Suddenly, 3 cars in front of me some guy tries to squeeze into the fast lane where I was and I saw one car headed for the center divider and I hammered the brakes and...

    Is there a license plate mount with a built in rear view camera?

    I'm assuming you mean Nashville, TN and not the original Nashville in NC? https://www.extremeterrain.com/type-s-jeep-wrangler-smart-1080p-hd-backup-camera-bt530027f-1.html You'd have to do some shop mods to adapt this to your spare tire mount, but this is one of the three offered by Extreme...

    Installing DSC350 3.5 inch Kicker speakers in my 2016 JK

    I think your issue is the speaker size. The Kicker upgrade size for the top dash tweeter is 2.75", not the 3.5" you purchased. Kicker has a KSC270 upgrade speaker for the top dash tweeter.

    Tire Decision

    Here you go. One of the reasons you need to know the true lift is for repair/maintenance issues. A 4" lift would have required adjustable control arms, new drive shafts and a handful of other replacement parts because the geometry of the drive train has been altered significantly. If you were to...

    Door Leak

    Hardtop or soft, the location is almost always the same, and it's not the door. At least, in my case it wasn't. The weatherstrip around the top of the body below the top has a gap where I found water to drip just inside the door edge, so that it puddles on the floorboard just inside the door.

    Tire Decision

    Have you measured that lift? It sure doesn't look like 4". Here's mine at 2.5" with 35s: Anyway, I had 35" Toyo MTs on mine when I bought it and couldn't wait for them to wear. They were loud and not a good ride on pavement, regardless how much I aired them down. Replaced them with BFG TA KO2...

    Electrical issues - multiple gauge cluster alerts and loss of power steering.

    Can you share what battery clamps you've switched to?

    Replacement protective sleeve for synthetic winch rope

    I didn't advocate for the use of either materials, simply pointing out my experiences with both. Anyone with a winch will decide what they want to use. Appreciate your info, though.

    Limp mode issue on 2015 JKU

    This is the problem. Whatever rear end you installed does not match what the ECM originally learned. If you don't have Jscan, you need to hook it up and see what the ECM is set for versus what is installed with respect to the gearing.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    I consider myself somewhat fortunate in that I've had her for going on 8 years, put 100k miles on her and have not had the first issue aside from a t-stat gone bad a few years back. This is her first time on a lift getting a full-tilt inspection from stem to stern and addressing all of the...
