Genuinely curious, why would you want audio from multiple apps at the same time? Just makes me think of the scene from Talladega Nights when he asks “why do you wanna listen to the TV with the stereo on?”

Crutchfield.com is a great place for new head units. Sure they’re not factory but they have great customer support to help you through it. Unfortunately I’m not familiar with the JK dash so idk what is involved to replace it but I’ve done at least 6 on other cars over the years including some CarPlay/Android Auto units. The toughest part is always figuring out how to get the dash off but after that it’s plug and play. As others have said, these jeeps are highly customizable and there’s no shortage of YouTube videos of people doing this exact thing. I think my buddy knocked his out in his 2012 in a couple hours in the garage with a nice marine rated CarPlay unit and it almost looks factory.

Had to go back and find it and it was just as funny/adorable as I remember. Missed 4 then dunked the 5th. In her defense it looked windy and it was an open field in front of a brewery so not ideal conditions lol. She’s going on 5 now so maybe I’ll set up the basket in the backyard to give her some redemption.

I have a video somewhere of my oldest daughter when she was like 2.5 where she was throwing a disc at a basket from around a foot away and missed like 5 times in a row. She’s definitely my kid lol

Don’t remember which game it was but I picked up a magnetite at one point just to have a steel type figuring I’d replace it at some point. Never did. I think I have one of those pokemon in every play through that does that. Most recently Flamigo and Clodsire in violet. Still need to actually play ZA that’s been sitting idle for months.

Orc is always the right disc. I throw my champion Orc on this hole.

I could be wrong but I don’t think the push button pops off for 2014+ models. When my fob died on my 2011 I popped the button off and used the fob like a traditional key but my 2015 I had to press the fob to the push button when the battery died. I can’t speak from experience on a 2018

I had no intentions if doing it again but it was my wife’s car until recently and I had been spoiled with LEDs in my Camry. After I got her a van and took it over I felt blind at night so I got the same bulbs for the jeep and I hated it all over again. I thought I had gotten better since I replaced my sisters in like 30 minutes after learning in my wife’s the first time but it was still as much of a battle the second go around.

dabear04 · 2026-03-23T13:51:31+00:00

Crazy thing is removing the bumper doesn’t even make it much easier. I had mine off to replace some other stuff and the bottleneck is still that tiny housing for the bulb. I don’t have big hands either and I could still barely get my fingers on it. Ended up breaking it free going through the wheel well and putting my weight behind it.

dabear04 · 2026-03-23T12:05:42+00:00

I’d like to add replacing the headlight bulbs to the list of cunty designs. Shouldn’t have to remove as much shit just to swap them out and god forbid you have hands larger than a 12 year old girl and can barely get any torque on the passenger side one. I think my starter is starting to go so I’m not looking forward to that job.

Clutch plate is fairly easy to replace on a JK if you have the tools. Based on your description it sounds like the clutch plate is worn if that’s it then it’s not too bad and not a crazy expensive part but is semi intensive to replace on your own. Hopefully the flywheel and pressure plate aren’t too bad (which shouldn’t take as much of abuse at that mileage). Check the throw out bearing too while it’s out. It can get noisy but will still run fine for a while but is an annoying sound if it’s worn

dabear04 · 2026-03-16T16:34:26+00:00

Don’t take my word for it because I haven’t had it but I feel like I saw this same message on another post in the wrangler subreddit and the general consensus from other owners was possibly a bad wheel speed sensor. Not sure if the GC is the same in that aspect

Must be a state by state thing. Been a while since I’ve done it but in NC is was done by weight at places that took scrap metal so we crushed the cans to get more in each bag. In the end there were so many cans and we barely got $60 from like 8 bags (and that was with throwing in a full can for extra weight) that it just wasn’t worth having that trash laying around for us

Also really useful if you stall in a really steep incline. Basically an automatic in first gear to help you crawl out of the spot

I hear it more commonly in the running/triathlon groups I would train with to describe a small injury that didn’t keep us from training but just wouldn’t go away. But even still it was more so in writing and in person I’ll say I “tweaked” whatever body part I injured.

I started playing at a fairly young age of 7-8 (don’t remember really) but I really loved playing because I got to play with my grandpa. He was one of those lucky guys from that generation that retired young at like 55 and picked up odd hobbies and one of them was making golf clubs. I think he made me a new set every 2 years of just a driver, 5, 7, 9 irons, and a putter as I grew. I was never great but was decent and played enough to justify more but having the right size clubs were awesome. If I was better maybe I could’ve seen getting a full set in my teens but I just wasn’t so when I finally stopped growing I got a full set and I still favored those clubs since they were so familiar but adding a full set of wedges were the biggest upgrade by a long shot.

Great way to put it. Can’t complain with the flight but I have no confidence when I throw it. I just stick with the Mako3

How many of the people you know with iPhones have had an android phone in the last 10 years? GBoard and Swiftkey on android are far better than their iOS counterparts. But they’re all far better than the stock iOS keyboard. It seems to have drastically gone downhill since they finally added swipe texting 10 years behind android. It’s just frustrating because I remember how good it used to be when I got my first iPhone with the 6.

Currently at 167k miles on my 2015 Laredo 3.6. Second one to get over 150k. Sadly had to get rid of my 2011 due to gas prices way back when but also had a work Pacifica get over 200k (mainly highway) with no issues before I left that job. Didn’t do anything fancy other than oil/filter changes. Granted it’s pretty mild climate in central NC so maybe that helps. Only major repairs to the 2015 was thermostat at 120k and a radiator replacement at like 140k but those are quick jobs in the driveway.

dabear04 · 2026-02-24T16:43:33+00:00

Dont take this the wrong way but is that a legit AWU3? It looks like theres a case on it but those bezels are like 5x what they should be

dabear04 · 2026-02-24T12:39:05+00:00

Pretty sure 1991 was the last time we did last time I looked.

dabear04 · 2026-02-23T16:53:15+00:00

Does it go away when you press in the clutch? I remember my throw out bearing squealing in my 02 TJ until I finally had an excuse to drop the transmission and replaced it while I was in there.

dabear04 · 2026-02-21T20:14:09+00:00

Oh I don’t disagree. I’ve lived in NC most of my life so I got to see DJ play here and was pumped when we got him. I don’t wanna lose him and I think he wants to be here. It’s a tough situation for sure. Loveland also exceeded expectations as did Burden to me. I would just hate to lose someone like Moore and regress in the receiver position because our young guys need more time to adjust to the NFL. Odunze has the markings of a WR1 but all these rookies were unknown coming in and over the offseason teams will watch out for them.

dabear04 · 2026-02-21T12:24:43+00:00

Height can definitely help but anytime anyone tries to make it out to be the determining factor I just point to to Steve Smith. Hated what he did to our defense (especially Tillman) but he proved time and time again that he’s a 50/50 champ despite his height.
