I am in need of some suggestions. I have a suspension squeek that I can't track down. It is at lower speeds (in town speeds) or at least that's when I can hear it. Definitely suspension as it only happens on rough roads, bumps, etc. I replaced the front sway bar bushings and added a little...

About 1.5 weeks ago I installed the Mopar 2" lift with Bilstein reservoir shocks and added ½" spacer to the front. I have been hearing a little bit of tire squeal when turning. Usually a sharper turn but not all turns. I torqued everything according to the provided specs and haven't changed...

I just got a new to me wrangler (2012 Jk) and it has this tire (Celimo Prevail all terrain) as the spare. It doesn't look too bad but I've never heard of the brand. Any first hand knowledge? I can't find many if any reviews really thru Google. I ask here because I'm not on a wrangler forum but...

I just put my top back on after a few weeks off and remembered this as an issue. On the driver's side the bracket pushes the weather seal down. It is really an issue when it rains (more than the normal drip). I've tried many different adjustments but can't seem to figure out how to fix the...

I think I've settled on @Metalcloak as the brand for the lift I'm going to get. I'm not wanting to go above 2.5" and it seems theirs are close to actual height vs the extra some give. I have two questions and hopefully either the sponsor rep can chime in or someone else. What is the difference...

I am looking to finally upgrade my gearing and just moved to St Pete. I was hoping for some recommendations for a reputable shop in the St Pete / Tampa area. I am going with 4.88 as I won't go above 37"s but I'm on 35"s now. I do tow a little trailer ~2k lbs and it won't be only in the flatness...

So it has happened twice in two days that I was driving and the steering felt heavy. After a little more driving I figured the power steering stopped working. I pulled over and as soon as it jarred off the road it was normal. Basically the same story for both times. Anyone have this happen or...

There is a Yakima SkyRise Medium rooftop tent nearby me for sale. It is used and I have not looked too much into them. It is for $1200. All seems good with it from the ad but does anyone have first hand experience with this tent? Good, bad, not worth it?

Who has them and what are your thoughts? I keep looking at them and think it is an interesting concept but can't think of what I might use it for other than a $300-700 paper weight / dust collector. Also if you have one any tips or things to look for? I keep looking but don't know what features...

I ordered a new set of wheels and was told I will need to buy a new set of lugnuts. The store said my factory ones would not work. This is the first aftermarket wheel I have bought and it doesn't make sense why the factory lugnuts would not work. Is this true or just an up-sell by the store...

Next month (November) I am looking to get a new set of wheels. For the time being, I will be staying with the current tires (285/75/17) but will eventually go to a 37". These wheels are 17x8.5 with a -6 offset. I have a Sport (non-max tow) so the more narrow axles. Currently, I have a 1.5"...

Last week I went to Hollister off-road Park and had a little fun. I already posted about my rear bumper mishap but I wanted to share about the JCR rear fender liners. I have rubicon suspension with a 3/4 inch spacer in the rear. The liners are aluminum so explains this and am glad it didn't...

Today I damaged the corner of my rear bumper. I am going to see if I can fix it but have been looking at buying a replacement as well. The prices on some of these things are insane. It should be more simple than the front I would think but figured I would see if anyone has or knows of one that...

I wanted to keep my DIY rail system but also have the ability to put a bike rack or something over the tonneau cover. I do not want a rack so this was my solution. I had to change my rail system to the smaller strut channel but it all still works well. I then had 2x2 angle at ⅛ thickness and...

I have been looking at this and most of the websites contradict each other. I was hoping someone had the first-hand experience. I found a few mentions through the search but did not see this answered. Do these rails work with the trail rail or DIY system? I am not meaning to attach to it but...

I typically take the to off by myself and was thinking of a better way to save both my back and the top. Previously I had d-ring and straps I would maneuver the top under then lift it up. I bought a 10 ft section of superstrut from Home Depot and had the trolleys for another project. The...

I was incredibly lucky to win the Hotheads Headliner drawing and wanted to show it off. I have not driven with it yet as it is lunch time and the Super Bowl is almost on. With that said it is 100 times better quality than the random Amazon headliner I had in my JKU. The hardest part of the...

I am torn between my next addition. I am debating between a winch and the Hotheads headliner. The winch would be the harbor freight 12k synthetic and I had it on my JKU so I know what I am getting. I know they are not an exact price match and let's ignore the $100 or so difference. Thoughts?

I have searched and found quite a few threads about will 37s fit on a stock Rubicon. From that, the answer is yes but...articulation and wheel spacing and this and that. To keep the question more simple let's ignore the wheel spacing aspect and all the other very specific cases. I have a Sport...

I was messing around under the JT and noticed the indent in the exhaust. It is near the rear springs. I can't image this is the way it is supposed to be. I have not done any offroading or anything that would have caused this either. Anyone else have the same? Also I know only the basics for...
