    Well there is one in Indiana for sale for $1500 if anyone wants to roll the dice...

    What windshield header is this?

    After staring at this a bit longer I'm thinking whoever replaced the top did so incorrectly... The header has the Bestop insignia stamped into it so I don't think there is anything weird going on there.

    What windshield header is this?

    I've been contemplating getting a soft top although the jury is still out. 😂 I'll probably pick up a used one and try it out to see if it's to my liking or not. Many for sale locally don't include the rollbar brackets and/or door surrounds. One popped up with worn out fabric that I grabbed...

    First time JK owner

    I don't think his are removed yet. I read the original post to mean that he thinks that's the problem (or a solution to his problem) and wants to know what will happen if he removes them. I could be wrong, though. Agree! I'm not an advocate for removal at all. In Michigan, however...

    Wont go into gear

    @Lxxtsy I believe the OP meant to convey that his son's vehicle is a manual.

    First time JK owner

    Well... Unless they are old, compromised, and blocking airflow. That will make a difference! At that point, depending on state regulations, you can remove them or replace them.

    Went in for recalls to be fixed and the dealer tried to get me to pay almost 2k in service

    The first three are reasonable price-wise. Would need more detail about what they are doing with #4. #5 sounds like a cash grab. #6 maybe platinum spark plugs? If so that price wouldn't be terrible for a 3.6, but not a 3.8.

    Wizard recovery gear!

    The ones I have are pretty tight and and require some effort to get the knot through. Once there is tension the loop clearance is reduced significantly so I don't think that knot is coming back through. Playing devil's advocate, however, anything is possible with enough force, but I'm...

    Wizard recovery gear!

    When I first learned of these I thought "why didn't someone think of these sooner?" In my lifetime there have always been fabric tow straps and the advent of fabric winch line, so why not fabric shackles?

    What did you do to your JK today?

    I had to sync a new phone with the Uconnect yesterday. Is it a just a totally ridiculous system or am I a dumb user? The only way I could find to pair phone was though voice commands. I had forgotten that was the case back when I bought this vehicle and paired the phone I had at the time...

    Front bumper bull bar for factory steel (JL on JK?)

    Great color! I don't think I have seen that before.

    Front bumper bull bar for factory steel (JL on JK?)

    It's supposed to be a light bronze for the 75 Anniversary package but it does take on a khaki-ish hue at times. Grille, wheels, bumpers, and some interior trim. Here is a bit better pic:

    Front bumper bull bar for factory steel (JL on JK?)

    This is the RockHard bar for a JK. It was ~$150 when I purchased it last year:

    New exhaust on the cheap

    Sounds good!

    Hardtop lift

    I haven't seen this one before. I have a similar one called "Roll 'N Jack" and it works well. Give it a try. I'm sure you could sell it if you don't like it for some reason.

    2016 Rubicon Issue After Lifters / Rockers Replacement

    Unless he pulled the lower end apart and inspected the rod bearings there would really be no way of assessing their health completely. Unfortunately, those can tolerate some abuse throughout their life but can also let loose without warning. Your Jeep isn't what I would considet low mileage...

    Low Oil Pressure At Hot Idle

    I'm no 3.8L expert but those pressure observations seem really low to me. What is your initial cold startup pressure? Should be 40psi or higher.

    JL 392 wheel investigation

    JL 392 wheel investigation

    I have always liked the look of the 392 wheels. The non-recon wheels are the same specs as our JK wheels (except for the lug holes). Recently a set popped up on Marketplace nearby with 285/70R17 BFG ATs. These seem like they would match the trim color on my 75th anniversary nicely. I'm...
