And a 2005 Peterbilt 379 has a GVW of 52,000 pounds. An irrelevant comparison is an irrelevant comparison. If you're going to compare the Wrangler to a full sized pickup, the only reasonable comparison is to a 1/2 ton truck. A Wrangler build up easily increases the weight by 20% and can double...

A stock 4 door Rubicon weighs about 4,600 pounds. That is NOT a light vehicle. Built, you're EASILY looking at 500-1,000 pounds more. An F150 and the Ram 1500 both start at around 4,800. That's about a 4% difference, stock-to-stock. I do not think that 4% is significant by any stretch of the...

No. Anti-seize is a silver goop that you put on to PREVENT things from sticking. WD40 is sprayed on later to RELEASE things that are already stuck.

Download the app. Use the in-app purchase for however many VIN licenses you want. Look at the list of OBDII dongles on the web site. Buy one. I got this one, which seems the most common choice: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XGB4873/?tag=jkforum-20

JScan is ubiquitous amoung posters here.

That assumes there's not a vehicle in front of you... If your air filter is good, the dust won't matter as much as the decreased air flow from the super long air tube. Or at least encourage them to get some pitons...

Start paying for the gas, insurance, and maintenance.

Well let's be honest. 99% of the snorkels on Jeeps are completely useless. And thanks to the Hagen–Poiseuille equation, we can show without a doubt that they rob your engine of power. But they do look cool.

You may have to break the hinge pins loose if they haven't been removed much (or at all). Maybe a rubber mallet, used cautiously.

One thing with leaky hardtops. The knobs used to tighten the bolts that hold the Freedom Panels in places are notoriously a cause. The instinct is to crank them down as tight as you can. But this seems to warp the panels a tiny bit and cause leaks. Snug them up, but don't over tighten them.

Toss them in the trash and install metal flares. :)

The "normal" wheel for 35's has 4.25 or 4.5" of backspacing. You may find that 15" wheels hit your brake rotors if you move them inboard.

No, sorry. I know what they are, but I don't use them.

Gizmos that replace your O2 sensors and lie to the computer about what is in your exhaust.

Can you do it? Probably. At least for a little while. But things are going to break.

Great. And then test the coolant for combustion products to rule out things like a blown head gasket. The eyeball tests don't do that.

Jack up the nose. Burp the system. Test the coolant for combustion products to rule out things like a blown headgasket.

What he said.

Serious question. Why? It's a proven fact that DRLs reduce accident rates. And there isn't any downside to them.
