Any decision that includes getting spacers is a bad decision.

In the past 20 years, I've driven full size trucks, mid-size trucks, Wranglers, and a couple sports cars. I don't see any real difference. It basically comes down to how much highway driving I do. It could be because Colorado is a sand state, not a chemical melt state.

Nah... I've not noticed any vehicle that's immune. Have you?

Windshields should be considered a consumable, just like oil and brake pads.

I don't know that anyone has ever done a formal study to see how often these things lead to injury, but 40+ years in the ER has left me with a reflexive negative view of anything that leads to body parts being outside the vehicle.

That's not lazy. Who wants to see something like that?

Another vote for installing a dedicated switch pod.

If the factory can put it in, so can you. But, frankly, you'd do better with an aftermarket unit.

Well that's useful!

It's JScan, regardless of what you install it on. I have it on my iPhone as well as on the Android head units I've installed in the Wranglers.

Changing the gear ratio means pulling both differentials apart and replacing the physical gears in them. If you've gone to larger tires, you probably should do this. Modifying the computer is done to correct the speedometer and such for the new gears and wheel size. You should do this if you've...

Might be the base of a CB or GMRS radio antenna. You can remove it. Seeing it without the wheel might help ID.

Unless you can specify a dB level, it's kind of impossible to recommend anything.

Pretty much any will fit. You might need a drill, but they will fit...

If your needs include other brands, I recommend the BlueDriver. I leave a JScan dongle in each Jeep and a BlueDriver in the Vette at all times. I keep one of each in the garage for working on other peoples junk.

You just download JScan, and purchase however many VIN licenses you want. They're cheap. There's a list of recommended OBDII dongles on the JScan site. Buy one. All told, JScan and the dongle are well under $100.

JK Wranglers are not collector cars. Build it. Drive the wheels off it.

This. Disable it, and get a decent tire gauge.

Step 1: lose the steering dampers. All they do is mask problems. Then start checking to see what is worn or loose. How much play is there in the steering wheel? Now check that for everything else in the steering and suspension, not just the wheels.
