After I had bought my Willys JT, I went back to the dealership for some add-ons promised at purchase. While waiting for an Uber home I went and borrowed a tape measure to get some height measurements as I was certain the Mopar lift gave me way more than two inches (it did). A sales guy came out...

$1200 seems to be the going rate around here. That's for lightly used or open box. Bought mine from a guy in ID for that plus shipping. I was very happy.

I unburied it from a foot of snow and unloaded my tread-drive snow blower... Does that count? (otherwise, a day ago I did a failed jk spacer/adapter install (long story but they were free but the spacer isn't thick enough for the longer lugs/posts on the JT)) and installed a set of new Nokians...

I'm on 4.88 gears with 35x12.5 inch tires and beefy rims (34.5 unloaded) and am happy. I spend a ton of time in 8th now compared to before and gained a tiny bit of mpg back from stock gears. I believe with my elevation changes and lack of towing that I will be fine going to 37s with this...

Hilarious since it is perfectly fine for many of these manufacturers to do 12.4 inch tires on those rims. That 0.1 inch really makes a huge difference you know!

Yeah, wiping only was my plan...

Delrin hinge liners, two sets of terraflex wheel spacers and a wheel dolly since I started swapping my own tires since it's a pain in the ass to load them into the lifted truck and drive to Discount Tire.

The mounting face of the rotor, where the lugs/posts come out. Totally and completely covered in rust, thick. I do live in a wet climate but little salt exposure at least.

I like your new avatar/image. I own a cat hospital so it's near and dear to my heart. 8-)

There's the "best way" and the way that I have time for, as long as I'm not going to lose a wheel on the freeway, there's maybe the "bestest" way I have time for.

Great suggestions, I hadn't thought about a carefully applied CRC layer. 8-)

I hadn't thought about this, but that's a soft-top. Good luck getting that off with any bed cap, I don't seen how it would be possible to get the pillars and the window slid out with that little room. Maybe it's possible but it's already hard enough to do with my newer soft-top. Thoughts?

Thanks for the video but that seems like overkill if I have to do that at 10,000 miles. Overall the rotors don't look terrible it's just the face of the hub/rotor/lug-side that are rusted. Prevention is what I'm really curious about now.

Pulled my wheels (Fuel Trophies) to swap to some stock JK rims and found my hubs were completely rust covered. Is this normal? It's been 9 months and 10,000 miles. Since I will rub at full lock on a LCA, I am putting on some spacers/adapters. I'm assuming brillo off the rust or do you spray it...

Willys trim. The two other sport or Willys people I know locally who did the lift also needed track bars and relocation brackets or LCAs. I can say that I didn't notice any change with the caster adjustment, but it was well out of spec with the LCAs from the lift kit. I still feel like MOPAR...

I paid about $1200 for it, not installed. It's important to know that many people get more than the advertised lift from it. In my case I needed an adjustable track bar since my front axle swung so much to the left/driver and lower adjustable control arms since the caster was way out of spec...

I own an EV and agree with you completely. LOL

Least I'm not the only one but I always carry gas. I've had it within a half a gallon of what capacity probably is at least a dozen times. LOL.

I can say that the fuel float or sensor is really sensitive and takes FOREVER on my willys to read accurately if I am parked on a hill. It doesn't come to a steady-state until about 20 minutes of driving. It's good to note I park on a steep (but not extreme) driveway and go downhill 8 miles to...

I have selectrac and considered RCVs specifically but ended up deciding not to. I read a surprisingly high amount of people having issues with the finish of them and tearing up plastic boots early and people having to refinish brand new replacements due to burring, etc. Also, a local 4WD shop...
