    Steering dampner help

    While I was under the Jeep looking around I found some caked on mud on the rims. Not much... but some. Could that be enough to throw the wheels off balance? As a reminder I get a vibration/humming around 40 mph.

    Steering dampner help

    Thanks for the quick replies guys. I will checkout the youtube vids you mentioned. This isn't a daily driver and I'm getting ready to store it for the winter so I have some time to get the real issues diagnosed and corrected. Follow up question: If I slap a band aid on it now (stabilizer)...

    Steering dampner help

    I recently purchased a 2015 2dr manual. I've noticed when I hit 40+mph it gets a heavy vibration from under the hood that rattles back to the rear window. Imagine a subwoofer but I'm not playing the radio. Mechanic recommended a new steering dampner. Is that the same as a steering stabilizer...

    Radio isn't working

    No sound but the unit remains powered on. I think I found the issue. Seems to be a problem with the circuit board.

    Headlights interfering with radio

    I believe I'm having this issue. Do you have any information on installing an anti-flickering canbus connector? Thanks!

    Radio isn't working

    Recently purchased a 2015 JK. It has Uconnect 130 radio. AM and FM do not work (no sound). Satellite works, but it cuts out every 2 or 3 seconds. Display works, volume works and I can cycle through all of the various features (setup, phone pairing, etc.) Any ideas on the cutting in and out? I...

    Rust review

    Hey all, Anyone care to look at the pics of rust on the underbody of a 2015 JK? Had it inspected for a pre-purchase inspection this morning and would appreciate thoughts and opinions. Is this normal wear and tear or anything to be concerned about? It's been in Illinois its whole life. Thanks!

    Looking at High Mileage JKU

    Hey all, Came across a 2014 JKU with 218,000 miles. CARFAX shows it was regularly serviced. This would not be a daily driver for me. Are there any owners out there with very high miles that has any input or advice on what to look at? How much can you get out of the 3.6 with regular service?

    Advice on rust spots on body

    Found another potential purchase and it has two rust spots on the rear just above (possibly also behind) the bumper. Is this more than just an eyesore in your opinions? I asked for more pics to ensure it is only those spots. Has anyone had this type of defect repaired and, if so, how much did...

    JK questions on potential purchase

    That's very generous and I greatly appreciate it. Hold off for now though. The seller wasn't responding to messages yesterday so he might have sold it. Let me reach out to him one more time and I'll let you know if I decide to take you up on your offer.

    JK questions on potential purchase

    Awesome. Thanks for the advice! How would you handle the title/payment on a remote purchase from an owner? I've only ever bought in-person from a dealer.

    JK questions on potential purchase

    That JK sold last night. Oh well. Now looking at a 2008 JK Manual 2dr with 153k miles priced at $14k. Located in NC all its life so it looks to be rust free. Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to travel to it. Does anyone have advice on virtual appointments, shipping, etc? I keep...
