A new JK starter is about $150.

I'm pretty sure that plastic sleeve is not supposed to be down around the bendix gear. When you turn the key, the bendix gear slides out and engages the flywheel. I believe that plastic sleeve is supposed to remain up inside. It looks like the flywheel has engaged the plastic. The entire bendix...

Your ball joints are shot. And if they're making that same noise while driving normally on a flat road surface, I would advise against driving the vehicle until you get them replaced. Understand, a bad ball joint, if left alone and not replaced, will ultimately result in breaking your front end...

I read on another forum the gauge cluster needs to recalibrated even if a refacing is done. I have no idea whether or not this is correct, but I'm just throwing it out there.

Let's not forget how many times we've heard of people changing multiple thermostats before finally getting one that functions as it should. If you have JScan, set up your phone so you can see it while you've got the hood up. Cold start your JKU and wrap your hand around the upper hose and...

The equipped scissor jack doesn't have enough to lift the Jeep. It does if I carry 4-5 2x10 pieces of lumber to stack it on.

I've been tossing around the idea of going "spareless" as well. As has been mentioned: 1. I do not have a hi-lift jack and I would need one with 35s and a 2.5" lift. 2. Putting the spare in the roof rack is not an option. The wheel (moto Metal 962 @ 35.4lbs) and tire (BFG TA KO2 @ 63lbs) make...

I've had this one for about 5 years and no issues... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BDFQDVJ?tag=jkforum-20 But, if you'd like, I'll see if I can find my OEM and would let you have it for $10 + shipping. And I'll ship it before payment if you like.

I have an AEV Procal, practically new with the box and instructions. Came with my Jeep when I bought it. Not used it much at all except to check some settings when I first bought it. I started using JScan shortly after I purchased the Jeep and have been trying to get rid of the Procal.

I'm with ya at 68..... My dogs still take the occasional sniff, but that just lets me know they're still attached.

1st gear facing uphill, reverse facing downhill. From someone who learned how to drive a stick in Dad's 1962 MGA Roadster.

From what I've read, the footman loop (above the windshield) would have to be moved and the pegs for the freedom panels were relocated on the newer tops, so the corresponding holes won't line up. Sounds like some drilling is in order.

A friend if mine (former Air Force guy I had in a class at the War College in Newport) asked me about the "haze grey and underway" thing. I explained that Navy ships are painted in a color called haze grey and all that. He couldn't understand how I could enjoy spending so much time at sea on a...

I second that. Any time you start replacing parts and tinkering with the front end, odds are you'll need to get it straightened out when everything is said and done.

Yeah, I mean, this is where the tire cover has gotten me out of a couple tickets that might have been borderline speeding...

Once you've figured it out, get out your favorite softball bat and smash those halo lights into oblivion. Replace with a decent pair of LEDs without the halo. Sorry, allowed my feelings about halo lights get in the way of a person needing help. My feelings about angry bird grilles and halo...

The bothersome part of this is the world of difference in having a front drive shaft u-joint and a wheel bearing issue. The effect of either being bad are not really close when it comes to symptoms, but either are very easy to diagnose.

A wheel bearing on one of the fronts? You'd likely be ale to feel that every time you turned the steering wheel. It will tend to grind and send a vibration all the way up the steering shaft. But, at least it's not difficult to diagnose if that's where you decide to go look. Everything else that...
