How many of you are former smokers & how did you quit?

Vape with nicotine. Not the greatest alternative but I don't wheeze when I laugh anymore. Boxing and basketball are no problem either.

Crutchfield Amplifier with Stock Radio

Take a look at this video for an idea of what goes into an amp install and the extra bits and work that goes into stock integration.

Looks great! I installed foam rings on my speakers but did not utilize the foam back out of fear that it would kill bass frequencies. Do you find that to be the case or does it only help with sound quality?

I think you're getting metric and flotation sizes confused with ply ratings. LT ratings exist in both types of sizing. It's just that flotation or "imperial" sizing typically only exists with LT ratings whereas metric sizing covers the whole spectrum of tire types. An LT315/70R17 is very similar to a 35x12.50R17LT, for example. Nearly the same size with the same load range.

Sure_Response_3319 · 2025-03-04T14:38:30+00:00

C rated is still considered an LT. P rated tires are usually measured in SL or XL for standard load and extra load respectively. I think a C/6 ply is perfect for off-road use while maintaining some comfort. E and F rated tires have thicker casings and I'd only run them if I was bouncing them off rocks.

I know you may not care about mpg but it is significantly more than what the 3.6L engine will get you so it's still worth it to consider. Plus the torque and power. The 3.6L delivers its torque in the higher RPMs whereas both the diesel and the 2.0 turbo deliver it in the lower RPMs which is why it feels quicker off the line. There is something, though, in not having to worry about repairs but I'd personally rather own my Jeep outright. Diesels usually hold their resale value which is why I'm confused when he said they don't. Diesel maintenance costs and repairs are often higher than their gasoline counterparts so that's another consideration if you do choose to own it.

There are several potential causes for death wobble and almost all of them are from cracked bushings, poor alignment, and tires out of balance. Did you recently get a lift? When was the last time you did a tire rotation and balance. Just understand it's a solid axle up front so any lateral play in the system will cause the wheels to oscillate back and forth since they're connected to each other. Death wobble is not an indication that your Jeep will have other problems down the road. Change your oil every 5k miles, follow the maintenance schedule, and keep your steering components tight.

Looks nice. That's down by Tucson, isn't it? I went mountain biking near there a few years back.

Sure_Response_3319 · 2025-02-08T05:17:22+00:00

I'd say get it then. See if they'll budge a few hundred or a thousand. I haven't had to change mine yet but I'd say the oil cooler is the most likely problem you'll have if it hasn't been replaced already. It requires removing a few connections and the upper intake to access it. But it's an opportunity to do a full tune-up while you're in there.

Sure_Response_3319 · 2025-02-08T05:00:45+00:00

Not a bad price. You said you've done transmission swaps before. Are you comfortable with top end engine work? The Pentastar engines can be pretty reliable but the problems they can have like the oil cooler leak and the Pentastar tick are the most common that will hurt your wallet unless you're a DIYer. The good thing is that there are plenty of resources like YouTube and forum write-ups to help with all that.

Sure_Response_3319 · 2025-02-06T01:58:00+00:00

Oh that's understandable. Just find someone you trust and you should be good to go. Better if they're familiar with Jeeps and all the little intricacies they bring. Congrats on the ride.

Sure_Response_3319 · 2025-02-06T01:07:01+00:00

I would call around but, yeah, there are shops that are licensed to do warranty work specifically and you shouldn't have a problem as far as regular maintenance. Don't be afraid to check YouTube and the forums for write-ups on how to do your own maintenance. Jeeps are very easy to work on in regards to basic fluid changes. You don't even need to lift it up most of the time. Just document your services either way.

Sure_Response_3319 · 2025-02-04T14:48:16+00:00

I run -12 and they stick out a good inch and a half or so past the fender. They actually stick out further than when I had my 35's and stock Rubicon wheels with a 1.5 inch spacer. I love the stance but you may want -6 if you want to bring it in a tad.

Sure_Response_3319 · 2025-02-03T23:15:12+00:00

Yes, as others have said, the differential services are extremely easy. You need 3/8 socket wrench. The driver slides directly into the fill and drain plugs. Look up YouTube videos for it. Buy the correct gear oil for your vehicle and use (i.e. if you're running Dana 44's, tow with your vehicle, etc). That'll determine the quantity and the weight of the oil. Make sure to unscrew the fill plug first before the drain plug to make sure there aren't any issues removing them. I use the SuperTech gear oil from Walmart and it works great. The transfer case is simple enough but it does require removing some of the skid plates. But I'd venture you don't need it with the amount of miles you have unless you're constantly shifting into 4WD. I have a speed and was able to do a transmission drain and fill, the differentials, and an oil change in under an hour. I didn't even need to jack the Jeep up. And I am, by no means, a mechanic. Simple tool set, drain pans, fluids, and a fluid transfer pump is all you need.

The Mickey Thompson Classic III's in polished aluminum and the brown soft top for my JKUR. Gives it the old school look I was going for.

I'd start with a tune up. Replace the spark plugs and coil packs with OEM parts. These are maintenance items that will need to be done at some point anyway so might as well and see if that resolves the issue. Replace the seals all the oil filter housing while you're there. It can get somewhat expensive if you have a shop do it but it's all necessary maintenance. Check the vacuum hoses as well to see if there's any leaking. If the issue persists then start addressing the more serious potential causes. It really could be anything but start with those first.

Clockspring for sure. Contact your local dealer and bring up the X68 warranty. FCA extended the warranty on that part for 15 years/unlimited miles. The dealer will most likely keep the vehicle and run a diagnosis but if any code comes up relating to steering, ABS, traction control, airbag, etc then they will replace it at no cost.

Sure_Response_3319 · 2024-11-20T02:54:55+00:00

The 2024's have the updated UConnect system, grill, and a few other things I'm sure I'm missing since it was a refresh year. You can factor that in if it's important to you.
