BINGO! Thank you!

Since we're talking about roof racks - I (mentioned above) just have one with four feet in the drip rail of the roof. I'm not interested in a RTT, but I just don't feel what I have is secure. I'd like to have something like a Gobi that bolts into the frame but not full length. I KNOW I've seen...

I would never put a RTT on the hardtop with it being solely supported by the hardtop, especially supported by the drip channels on the hardtop. DeeZee can build a rack to support 3 tons but if I put it on a cardboard box, it will collapse. I have a light weight rack on my hardtop but I won't go...

Until our kids got out of car seats I always had a full size truck and my Jeep. I'm 53 now and in all of these years only had one flat tire and that was back in 1988 shortly after turning 16. I had a 2006 Ram that I bought new 12/8/06. In Aug 2021 I still had this truck. I was home repacking...

I know this is an old thread but I'm sitting here in the waiting room while getting an alignment done and repairing some lug studs. The best advice I can give is see if you can borrow or try a roof top tent before laying out the cash for one. You may love it and you're good to go or you may...

I have a 2.5" lift and 285s on stock wheels 2017 JKU and you will get some rubbing at full lock especially if you go full lock on uneven terrain, at least I do. It's the width not the height. I put two thin washers under my stop bolt and I'm sorry but for the life of me I don't know their...

It has been in the teens here for a couple weeks and twice now on startup I’m getting a real high pitched like warning noise. It’s inside the cab, definitely an electronic noise and ZERO warning lights or any indication there’s a problem. I’ve done a Quick Diagnostic and the In Depth one and...

I added a winch plate to my factory bumper (Rockhard) that I picked up for a song off FB Marketplace - otherwise you could get a decent winch ready bumper for the price of just a plate, crazy.

If not the rack pictured above and no exo skeleton visible, the only thing I could think of would be like a Rhino rack bolted to the roll bars. I'd have to think if a hole was put into the soft top the wind and movement would cause that hole to get bigger and bigger. It's hard enough keeping...

I'm in Lebanon, about 20 miles East of Nashville.

True. My stockers were on 18" rims (Sahara) with stock tire size and when I went to 17" rims with 33s I did the level and measure to JSCAN in my speedo and it was so close to the same height it didn't require a JSCAN speedo recalibrate. I gained a bit of sidewall for airing down but no height.

Our Take 5 says the only things they don't cover are mirrors, antenna and windshield wipers. After saying they'd take care of me they came back with a stance that Jeeps weren't even allowed in their carwash, yet they took my money monthly knowing I had a Jeep. Their car wash malfunctioned or...

I'll try to get around to that. It looks kinda plain jane at the moment because I haven't replaced my roof rack, etc. I removed some stuff off the Jeep before giving it to the repair shop and haven't had time to reinstall or replace some things. My second tax season starts 3rd week of July and I...

They finished my Jeep early and I got it back today and everything looks fine. I had two cracks in my windshield and was about to replace it before the car wash busted it, glad I didn't pay for that since I wound up with a brand new windshield.

Been a long, stressful and legal journey but looks like I get my Jeep back 7/22. The body shop has been giving me text updates. Hope I don't have nagging permanent troubles ahead.
