    Can headlights be switched from RHD to LHD?

    A question best asked of the French MOT folks regarding the legality of LED headlamps. Factory LHD headlights probably can be procured from a vehicle salvage yard in France.

    Need help with this coolant leak issue

    Not everyone has the tools or skill level for the work involved. It’s why I farmed out my trans fluid change. No experience there.

    Need help with this coolant leak issue

    Correct. The heater core has failed probably due to corrosion. It’s the only way you’ll get coolant in the cabin. As said by BlackJKU, change the hoses if they’re hard. Odds are, they’re due too.

    Ball Joint Press Kit

    Autozone and O’Reilly doesn’t charge for using theirs. You put a credit card on file for deposit and when you return the tool, poof goes the deposit hold. And - avoid cheap tools. You get what you pay for. DAMHIK.

    Need help with this coolant leak issue

    That’s a bad heater core. Hoses are attached to it in the engine bay, outside of the actual cabin.

    What is the biggest size tire I can fit with no lift on a Jeep Wrangler JK?

    Your rims will not work for 33s.. Read this thread you just posted in, specifically the post RIGHT ABOVE yours.

    Snowbird with a '16 JKU Sport

    When picking up the Jeep Tuesday, the tech had written up his recommendations for other stuff. Radiator’s seeping, water pump too. Valve cover gaskets oozing. Upper ball joints are a wee bit wobbly. Add all that to my list and I’ve got 3 full days of maintenance in my future. And easily $1500...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Dropped it at the local Jeep dealership for a routine transmission fluid change yesterday morning. Picked it up in the afternoon and it was noticeably smoother shifting. First change since I bought it and no idea how long it had been since the last one. I've put 15k miles on since purchase...

    How many miles did you get out of the Jeep OEM parts? RC is not known for their quality, just saying. I’d swing by my local good parts supplier and buy good name brand stuff.

    If I’m under there chasing a code and the tools come out, I do them all. ;)

    Take 10 minutes, roll your front wheel up on a curb and crawl under it. Look at the cats - are they old or new. If they're the OEM, it's probably time to change ALL four of the O2 sensors.

    XRC body cladding

    Contact Smittybilt directly? They will know who stocks it. Ahhhhhh! It's been discontinued and NLA.

    Hooke Road rear bumpers with spare tire carrier

    IMO, Hooke Road isn't of the same quality as the Smittybilts, etc. My JKU came with some of their rock sliders and when they rust out, they'll be swapped for Smitty's.

    Need advice on buying a 2022 Sahara

    Honestly? I’m in the give it back and let them deal with it camp. There’s too damn many out there that don’t wobble.

    Gear Ratio for 35" tires

    Minimum 4.56 in my personal experience and from recommendations from the shop that did mine. I went with 4.88 from Revolution and no regrets. If you’re currently running 3.21s, you’ll also need a new ring carrier.

    Towing

    I pulled this trailer at roughly 2000-2200 pounds. It was just ok towing. I wouldn’t consider near double that!
