    Hard top maintenance

    If you had this hardtop all you would need is a bottle of Windex. 😂

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Ouch, sorry to hear about this.

    Exhaust manifolds

    Agree with this approach! It can be applied to many other parts as well. I chuckle to myself when someone gets 100k, 125k, etc out of an OEM part and then categorizes it as "junk". 🤷🏻

    JK/JL bumper compatibility

    There are also OEM JK bumpers that are very similar. They go by different names - 10A, Hardrock, 75th Anniversary. Just giving you more options if you find one available. JK top, JL bottom:

    Over-revved engine: what have I (potentially) done?

    Yep,as others have said, no issue with this. The factory powertrain controller has built in protection.

    3.6 Pentastar Misfire on Cylinders 1, 3, & 5

    Did he run a leak down test? The primary cylinder head issue is high valve seat recession on the driver's side head. If this is advanced enough to cause an issue the leak-down test would show it.

    Oil change and new ticking

    Oil pressure will play a role in this as well. Multi viscosity oils are complex. They start out with a base oil that is the same as the "Winter" weight rating. So 5W-20/30 begin as an SAE 5 oil and then are chemically formulated to act as a 20 or 30 as the temperature increases. The...

    Oil change and new ticking

    You could drain the oil and refill with a heavier weight and see if that changes or eliminates the tick.

    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?

    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.

    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.
