(Wow, in a bad head-on some of these jacks look like they will become instant death for the driver!)

No matter what you get, know that you may have to increase tire pressure if you change to a heavier load. I.e. going to the store tire pressure may not be enough when loaded for cross country travel plus a trailer hitched up. And stiffer tires can be better for trailer towing, and for...

Don't know when that change occurred. I'd be more interested to know which seals the Dorman unit uses, whether they've updated their design.

Maybe consider the updated Mopar oil cooler filter housing with the better seal design, instead of the Dorman aluminum unit. Unless the Dorman has been updated as well...

Found a place in Indiana where just doing the speed limit you can almost catch air off the hill. When possible, I love getting off the interstate and doing the local roads or state highways through places like Iowa, Nebraska, etc.

Last year had similar cracks on some Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires which were at only 2000 miles or so. Multiple tires. Something happened during manufacture. Got warranty for the three with issues. Swapped them all out for something else. Hope they get their act together some day soon. Nice...

Maybe try the original pods with aftermarket 4" speakers?

Drafting the whole way!!!

Along with the above Rugged Ridge, another option: https://combat-offroad.com/products/tail-gunner-tail-lights-jeep-jt Either of these take off the shelf truck lights, easily replaced for cheap if there are problems. DOT certified, too. Not sure how effective the reverse is for either of...

Big fan of amber in general. Harder for people not to notice you coming. Did the film over halogen for a while. Sufficient as a fog light to see the pavement markers and lets people see you coming better. But a pain to replace the bulb every now and then. Moved to Baja Design SAE fogs...

I wouldn't give up yet. Did you do a break-in procedure yet? Full power bursts at mid RPM.

I use a More Power Puller, big hand winch. An almost 30-year old one with a steel cable. Still good, but it only gets out every now and then. Weight would be a concern if I had a full spool on the front of a truck, but for the hand winch the weight difference wouldn't be much. Steel may be...

Keep going! Maybe break it in a bit more with full throttle 3000 to 4000 RPM bursts. Tire size?

Several brands have solid cross braces in front of the exhaust crossover.

The truck with the cap makes me wish they offered a JT-length SUV version.

Another thing about 15W vs 50W is the radiation you absorb from your own transmission, especially if the antenna is fairly close. This probably only matters if you are holding long conversations day after day, though. A little quarter wave may work better in mountains because the other party...

Some advocate for channel 16 (4x4) for offroad emergencies. In reality I just leave it on scan because there is no standard and someone in trouble probably won't think about moving to this or that channel. If someone is calling several times chances are good I'll hear them on scan.

Can the diffs handle the torque?

Could be more than one thing loose. Also check shock bolts. Maybe bounce the bumper up and down to check.
