A quality tire gauge is not expensive, and I'd check tire pressure all around before buying another part. Secondly, replacing the flat tire with a spare of nearly identical specs should not have created the problem you described, so there is another cause, and the incidents are coincidental, not...

I've had soft-tops on both my Wranglers. Soft-tops lack any insulation, a big issue in the colder states. In Arizona, it was a not a problem for me, but when I moved to North Carolina and encountered snow daily, I noticed the lack of insulation. Having said that, not all soft-tops need frames...

You may have the wrong models. I found this:

Battery wiring Mopar #56951599AC

You do not have to accept their first offer. Keep negotiating.

I have a JVC radio/CD player. Has a 6.8" screen, Bluetooth capable, Apple Play and ports for subwoofer and rear camera input. I bought it at BestBuy, and it's been flawless. This went into a 2012 JKU.

Good bet its a Nilight bumper. Nilight makes a ton of lights, and I bought two sets through Amazon. The listings for lights will give you dimensions, so it should be easy to find what you need. And if they don't work out, Amazon has a great return policy.

I put supplemental fogs on the bumper of my first Wrangler, and they worked great in the Arizona desert. With my second, I mounted spots on my A pillars - to see into the North Carolina woods - which I regret. Too much reflection from the hood when the lights are aimed correctly. I'd mount...

I don't have a lightbar over my windshield, but I can suggest a switch location. I bought an A-pillar switch set. They're everywhere, including Amazon, Extreme Terrain, etc. easy to install and gives you four switches, pre-wired. Color-coded too...

I bought a spare tire mount back-up camera from Creative Audio. Adjusting the camera angle and on-screen parking guides was a breeze. https://creativeaudio.net/pcam-jp2n-kl/

Avoiding voltage spikes When you connect jumper cables from a running vehicle to a dead battery, the alternator in the running vehicle instantly puts out maximum charging voltage. That can create a voltage spike of up to 15.5 volts in both vehicles. And it’s that voltage spike that can fry...

Have you put an OBD on to see if the engine is throwing any codes? Both of my post-catalytic convertor sensors had to be replaced, and the OBD spotted it easily. Maybe some Sea Foam will help clean up any deposits or other fuel system fouling, since the problem appears when you stress the engine.

I have bought Nilight spotlights and the quality was fine. I put Body Armor bumpers on my first Wrangler and Rugged Ridge on my second. No complaints about either, but after hitting a deer last year, I wish I had chosen a larger bumper/grill protector for better grill coverage.

We know all Jeeps leak, and they’ll drain if you let them. This Jeep with significant rust suggests a neglectful owner. No telling what else might have been neglected too. You’re buying “as is”. Keep looking.

Cover the plywood with indoor/outdoor carpeting to dress up the panels.

It’s a qualitative study, so your opinion may be different from mine, but both are valid in this type of research.

A different mechanic/inspector might have let you skate on some of those items. Not advocating unsafe vehicles, but “loose” and “too loose” are different things. Glad the wife is happy with your final decision… maybe I can find that old Jeep of yours?

A U-joint wears out over time. You didn't mention the mileage on your 2016. I would check there first.

Just wanted to say thank for the tip about replacing the mirror switch. Mine went out on a trip to New Hampshire, and with my wife and I sharing the driving, that switch was needed!
