Does it make that sound when decelerating at any speed? Has it always made the noise or did it just start?

I hear if that happens on a Mojave, the B-pillar will bend.

This is a good reminder to document your compliance with required maintenance. Not only do I keep receipts along with my signed/dated records, I also keep any fluid container labels and filter or parts packaging labels. Seems like an overkill, but you never know when you are going to need real...

Interesting. The black leather in my 21 Mojave is much tighter than that, and the back seats get used regularly by my teenage kids. I did notice that the leather seemed to stretch a little when I was back there kneeling on the seats while working on my soundbar speaker installation, but it...

IMO, it looks horrible. But, everyone has different taste. If you like it, get it.

I take my 2 kids to school every morning, each with a backpack. My son goes to TKD twice a week, and always tosses his backpack on a back seat. That part of the body has never had any signs of contact. None. Honestly, I wouldn't add that decal trying to use the reasoning of paint protection...

Thinking about this more ... If your issue is a 'dry' Item 3 bushing, which it kind of sounds like to me, you could potentially get lubricant to it as follows: Get the LH side of the vehicle as high as possible, and the RH as low as possible. Overfill the diff with lubricant. Rotate the RH tire...

If it goes away when you engage 4wd, then the focus should 100% be on the front axle disconnect. No idea why the dealership would ignore this huge piece of evidence. We need to think about what changes with the FAD system when going from 2wd to 4wd. In 2wd, going forward: LH axle shaft turns...

Here's a pic of what I did:

No picture, but I cut the top 'flap' off of a soft Ray-Ban case, then tucked it between the main shifter console and the x-fer case shifter. I had to add a piece of rubber anti-skid tape to the console to keep it from sliding back, but other than that it works well.

I'm using Crosby alloy G209-A shackles, so I still use an 'old school' snatch block. I recommend the basic Warn 20K rated snatch block: https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/snatch-blocks/88899-warn-snatch-block-20-000lbs?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_42m8Y_I9QIVm_bjBx0-uwBLEAQYASABEgLZsfD_BwE

The breather ends are not one-way valves. They need to let air both in and out to equalize the internal pressure with atmosphere. I extended my front diff breather up into the engine compartment only because I already had the tubing and connector, and it is super easy to do. I haven't done...

You should remove any loose paint, slag & rust before cleaning & painting. How you do it is up to you - small wire brush, roloc disc, spot sand blaster, etc. My experience is that you don't need to remove all the rust, just the loose stuff, if you are using the brush-on RustOleum.

No doubt that spray paint has a much lower viscosity than brush-on paint when it goes on, so it seeps into places better. However, with RustOleum's Stops Rust line, the oil-based brush-on paint is way more durable than the spray version. The spray version seems much harder when cured, so it...

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just remember to flush out those areas after each off roading trip when it is muddy. I use an extension wand (meant for watering plants) to flush everything out on my JKR and it works great. This is the one I use, and it's only $8...

Use an exhaust pipe cutter to make a clean square cut. If you ever want to put it back together, just buy a band type exhaust coupler clamp.

That doesn't look like a bad weld at all. Unfortunately, the welds will typically have some paint flaking because the slag wasn't removed from the welds prior to the paint process. A 'bad' frame weld will have porosity and signs of poor penetration. IMO, just use a small wire brush to clean...

I like Boeshield because it dries to a waxy film.

The Mojave wheels have a different (lower) offset than the Willys wheels. Just wondering if there will be any clearance issues. The Willys also came with different size tires.
