You've got a good list started, assuming you already have a lift. I waited a year between going to 37's and regearing (to 5.13 from 4.10's) and can tell you even linving in flat areas, you'll be much happier once you do the regear. I had ball joints done when regearing too. If you've got the...

:) You must have better spam filters than I do, or perhaps because I bought through my employer's arrangement with Stellantis for "employee discounts" I got put on a targeted advertisement distro. No idea. Sounds like a good guess. They're likely looking for anybody without good financial...

I go to one of the 10 minute vehicle inspection shops here in TX, and am out of free oil changes, so haven't been to the dealership for a while. That being said, not too surprising you'd get an unsolicited offer like that at the dealer since they're sitting on inventory that isn't moving due to...

Got mine back yesterday, had it regeared to 5.13. Shout out to Marcus @River City Offroad for doing the install (Dana Spicer 5.13s), along with some Teraflex HD ball joints. I dropped off my JTR with him last Sunday (he's about an hour away from me), and picked it up on Saturday. Marcus did a...

Really depends on your planned use; on my ND Miata I went with one of the higher end Covercraft covers and found that paying the extra $$ was worth it. I used it to keep the dang bird poop off the of the Miata, because birds hate me, as evidenced by their seeking out my vehicles to poop on...

I had it done (ceramic on all windows, clear on the windshield and 20% everywhere else, including the rears that were already tinted) and found it was game changing regarding the heat in the summer here in Central Texas. The rainbow effect is a bit annoying at first, but I got used to it...

Funny to see an old thread get new life... :) I did get rid of them suckers - what I ended up doing was a combo of the diatomaceous earth suggestion, plus Talstar P Insecticide, which pretty much nuked them. I sprayed the Talstar P around the driveway surrounding the vehicles, and the...

Yeah, the battery burn problem is definitely a really bad thing (TM) when it happens... Clean up afterwards is pretty messy too, not sure if it is better or worse from a "green" perspective than a burned up petroleum based vehicle.

Hmmm... I've had a bit of oddity going on that may (or may not) be similar to what you're seeing. I put 37's on in mid-summer last year, and as part of that process used the Tazer Mini to reprogram my tire size. Speedo matched what Waze said. In the past several months, however, the speedo...

In the end I am really glad I did it myself, because I had never tackled anything like it before and learned a ton. Biggest risks doing it solo are being without a vehicle if it takes you longer than anticipated as in my case, along with possibly needing to get some additional tools you don't...

Piling on with happy thoughts about your dog getting better - using the cash you got to get your dog the surgery she needed is absolutely the best reason I've heard so far for trading in a JT. :) We had a Cocker Spaniel that had to have three knee surgeries in her lifetime, so I know what that...

'Twill be interesting to see how many cool applications will result of the ChatGPT and the variety of other generative AI competitors to it will have. Also, the unintended consequences of using it as well. I've not played with it, though several of my direct reports have. Just like here...

Not really a TO so much as a with, but a previous TO (ThinSkinz install) definitely helped... Drove down to Houston to pick up our new Golden pup. My wife rode in the back with her, and said as soon as I hopped out to fill up with gas she started scratching at the door. 😀.

Ha! I actually got in trouble with the Mrs when I waved at the driver of a JL - she said I shouldn't be waving to women I don't know. I was then in a predicament ... I could either try to (re)explain the wave thing, or admit that I really can't tell what type of person is driving when waving...

I see a lot of inconsistency in my parts, but almost seems to be modded Jeep fellers/felletts do wave more than un-modded Jeep folk. Anecdotally, them angry eyes folk seem to not wave at all. ;) I find it to be a game - I'm going to wave just to be friendly no matter how often I get the...

My numbers after about 6 months - 3.6L Rubi with 37 Mickey AT's on AEV Pintler wheels, using stock 4.11's - typically get about 13.5 mpg. If the stars align and I'm on a highway drive at 70 mph with either low wind or a tail wind, I've gotten 15.2 mpg. Any sort of head wind, that will drop...

This is a great product idea! Sounds like something @813 Fabrication & Design could do extremely well - it would just have to have enough buyers to make it worth it for them to develop. (Or perhaps develop it and offer it through Zautomotive.) As many have noted, the little things like hood...

Super cool to see this - adds to the "pros" list for onboard air under-hood. I've still not decided on under-hood or getting a tank and putting something bigger (Extremeair, Viair, etc.) in the bed. Still leaning towards the latter, but this is a super neat element.

Year and a half, just under 11K miles due to working from home. No cracks, but I have a plethora of chips - probably close to a dozen. I'm wondering whether there's any benefit being provided by the ceramic UV windshield tint I had applied when I bought it. (Well, it is totally clear, no tint...

I'm glad the thread was helpful! Congrats on getting the kit installed! On your question - sounds are so subjective, so can't say that I heard creaking per se, but after the first week or so of driving (about 200 miles or so) had a bit of what I'd call clunk/pop. I went back and re-checked...
