    Spare tire brake light buzzing?

    I recently bought an aftermarket third brake light "halo" for inside my spare tire. After I installed it, the speaker/chime for the door/headlight/seatbelt alert would buzz every time I pressed the brake pedal (i.e., every time the new brake light would come on). At first I thought it was coming...

    Skid plate questions

    I agree with Duster. It totally looks like a Barricade Trail Force HD bumper (but really shiny - LOL!). I haven't seen any other manufacturers/distributors with bumpers that look exactly like that one, but like you, my wife and I have not had our 2017 JK 2-door very long. The bumper that came...

    ARB side armor

    I saw those, but they look more like rocker sheet metal armor rather than the heavier rock sliders that the OP was looking for. I think I may order these for my JK - they look great in the pictures.

    Bumper LED light brackets?

    Hey, folks! My wife and I just bought a sweet 2017 2-door JK Rubicon. It came with aftermarket Hooke Road front and rear bumpers. However, a previous owner had removed the off-road lights from inside the front bumper. A quick email to Hooke Road customer service, and they gave me a pretty good...

    ARB side armor

    Okay, here's some more info. I remembered Rusty's Offroad in Alabama has some great products, but I checked their website and they only have rock sliders for 4-doors (like everybody else). The good news is that they engineer, design, and make everything in-house. I knew some guys back when I...

    ARB side armor

    I forgot to ask - do you have the factory "Rubicon Rails"? They are pretty beefy, but only protect the pinch-weld area and do not extend up the rocker panel area (and don't have steps).

    ARB side armor

    That's a bummer. Those ARB's look beefy, and they are actual rock sliders that could probably withstand some serious Moab action, unlike the Hooke Road pseudo-slider/nerf bars I just installed on my 2017 Rubicon 2-door. The Hooke Road ones are pretty nice, don't get me wrong, but they are not...

    Alpine KAC-001 Accessory/Light Controller?

    Nice! The S-Tech systems look really convenient, although a little pricey. But considering that almost all the work is already done, it's not really that expensive. They're going in my list of options. FYI, I miss East Tennessee. I installed an attraction at Dollywood last century, and it was a...

    2017 2-door Rubicon 6-speed!

    No more rub now that I have the wheel spacers. And dang! Now that I can turn the wheel all the way, this turn radius is tight! I can almost make a u-turn in my driveway! LOL! We will probably get new wheels eventually. Between the wiggly sidewall flex and my general distrust of wheel spacers, I...

    2017 2-door Rubicon 6-speed!

    My wife has been wanting a Jeep for years (and of course I have always wanted one since the CJ was the current model - LOL!). My wife's stipulation was that it is a 2-door and manual transmission. She's one in a million! This silver 2017 Rubicon rolled onto our local car lot in July of 2023...

    Alpine KAC-001 Accessory/Light Controller?

    My wife and I just purchased a 2017 JK 2-door Rubicon. While my usual mentality is "built, not bought" and I normally like to buy a base model and add all the accessories myself to make it more personal, the previous owner installed some great upgrades including the Alpine iLX-207 WRA stereo (I...
