    Value of 2014 JKU with new engine?

    Not looking to sell but a few months ago I entered my info into Carvana and my offer was $15.5k. Didn't think that was too bad for a 2016 2dr with 78k miles and one minor fender-bender.

    Need opinions for spare tire cover

    Not on topic, but why two cameras? Do you get two separate feeds or are they in a split view?

    Value of 2014 JKU with new engine?

    Good comparator!

    New speakers sound punchy

    Yes! Has happened to me twice already. Once with rear camera, once with LED headlights/foglights.

    Teraflex ST1 1.5" kit

    This is essentially what I did. JKU Rubicon springs on a JK Sahara. I went with a 1" spacer in front since I have a heavier front bumper and push bar (and will add a winch at some point). I purchased and was going to add 1/2" in the rear but I buttoned it up without it first and was happy...

    Aftermarket radio dies then resets after battery disconnect

    So this essentially means everything around it all got wet, correct? I wouldn't rule out a wire harness issue, however, my guess would be that you have some corrosion on the head unit circuit board. It's tripping a circuit and shutting off and then resets when you remove power.

    Teraflex ST1 1.5" kit

    Agree. I added a spacer to the front to level out my 2dr. No issues since.

    Look forward to digesting those details as you make updates!

    Value of 2014 JKU with new engine?

    Well stated. The other factor is the timing from the seller. If there is no urgency to sell you can price it higher and wait for the "right" buyer.

    Jeep stalling at stops

    So when it restarts in Park it stays running but the trans doesn't shift to drive? Just want to ensure I'm understanding this correctly. The problem sounds electrical to me. Possibly a faulty transmission range sensor (or whatever it's called - neutral safety switch, etc)? This is what...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    I bet!!!

    Has any one put the coil springs from a Gladiator on a 2-door JK?

    Welcome. Interested to see the results!

    If he already has some performance parts you should be making more than that. The crate motor specs as-is are 383/417

    2008 JKU "Argenta" Build Thread (plus an Islander side project)

    Most of the time I feel like the trans is the only part of the JL I really envy. Then, of course, like any sane motorhead, I start going down the rabbit hole. I can swap in an 8spd, but if I do that I might as well do an engine swap, and that might as well be a 5.7. Then I should upgrade...

    Oil pressure sensor

    Or an internal leak path somewhere that's bleeding off pressure. Bearing, crack, bad device (tensioner, hla, etc).

    Man I love those rubber wheels! Long ago I had to remove decals from a cargo van I purchased. That made quick work of it. I've found numerous uses for it since that time. Just not on any softer plastic unless you have a really soft touch!

    Openroad winch experiences?

    Agree with this. "Kit" is a good way to put it. Short story is that you need more than just the winch. If you're looking to save a buck you may consider a Harbor Freight Badlands. Imo probably no better or worse than most of what's out there, but I've found their customer...

    Looking for opinions on potential JKU purchase

    Welcome. Looks like a nice ride at a decent price considering it's from a dealer. Just throwing out an idea for you. When I bought mine I negotiated with the selling dealer to have both compression and leak down test completed as a part of the sale contingency. The 3.6 has several...
