Stock 2020 Rubicon. Just hit 100k rod ends are just getting loose. Stock replacements and hope for another 100k or any suggestions on upgrades? Honestly this thing only sees rock trails a couple of times a year at this point the rest are on road and farm miles.
Clink/clank/clunk in the front end. At parking lot speeds when changing direction. Very similar noise to when rear LCA’s need tightening.
Any go-to’s?
Quick visual shows nothing but I haven’t been able to get reliable help to sit in the vehicle and move it with me under it. Can’t feel anything...
Effective today we can run doors off. Must still be inspected with original doors though.

We will be hitting trails Sat/Sun Oct 19/20 AOAA and or Rausch
I would like to hit the latest Badge trails but only if enough interest.
Looking for someone to lead, I do not know the trails well enough. I will run tail.
So far we have interest from

2020 Rubicon going on 70k miles. Time for brakes. Some off roading, towing etc. what are you all upgrading to?
Pads and rotors are a given, calipers are an option. Been a racer for years so I get the ups and downs of drilled rotors at speed but towing? Even highway speeds, do they really help...
4 Geolander A/T's 285/75R17 load range E.
6/32" - 7/32" left
6/32" in the center treads, 7/32" at the edges.
I am getting ready to replace them with the same. These will be available as soon as the new ones come in. If anyone is interested, let me know, if not, I will let the tire shop discard...
Have no idea about them but if you have ever thought about a bed tent, for $59 do it-

Brand new Rugged Ridge stubby mirrors PN 11025.22 mount on cowl. Does not fit JT, I was going to use them on tube doors but went a different direction.
$50 or trade for whatever
Anybody have any experience with portable scissors lifts? Mid-rise lifts?
Always multiple projects around here and a nice flat floor in the shop. Post lifts are not an option, definitely need something portable.
2020, 37K miles, aluminum box.
When cold, I drive for a couple of minutes then the road makes a 90°, the steering seems heavy then suddenly gives way. Then it is fine for the rest of the day.
Fluid level is good, components are tight.
Has anyone experienced this?
Thanks!
I know that they should be helping to sponsor but, I had great luck using my Zero Breeze a/c unit in Florida in 98*F heat so I thought that I would pass along their Black Friday sale.
I get nothing out of this but I did have a happy wife and kiddo in a RTT and annex because of them...
Suggestions on tire deflators?
I have a set of TrailHeads and I am down to 2 of them working properly.
I am not a fan of the ones that remove the valve core.
