    JK manual side view mirror

    They can be a little stiff but that's a good thing.

    Parking in gear with a manual transmission

    I was taught to park in 1st with the parking brake engaged.

    Motobilt tire carrier?

    That looks like the JL tire carrier, https://www.lethalperformance.com/dv8-offroad-cage-style-tire-carrier-2018-2021-wrangler-tcjl-02.html This is the JK one and its components,

    Motobilt tire carrier?

    Apparently they're harder to find now because DV8 is discontinuing them.

    Motobilt tire carrier?

    So I'm only on 33s but I've had mine over a year in all weather conditions and it's been fine. No rust or deteriorating of the finish, which I've heard can be an issue. No rattling. You can even remove the exterior plates and DV8 logo. Overall I'm satisfied with it but they take a bit of work to...

    Can someone go look at their door seals for me?

    I have the same issue although very minor and it's absolutely the door seal. Mopar makes an improved over factory seal for these - 55395275AW and 55395274AW for the front doors.

    Side step

    All the stock bumpers and side steps on JKs non special editions are just plastic anyway. I recall being really surprised how light it was when removing mine.

    Motobilt tire carrier?

    I have a DV8 TC1 tire cage swing out and they claim that it can carry up to a 42.

    Side step

    I'd take them off. They can't take any actual weight and they offer no protection. It all depends on you and what you use your Jeep for though.

    JK door straps

    Likewise my 07's are OEMs. If anything, they're a huge pain to take off when I take the doors off. 😂

    Doors off quick question

    If they've not been off in over 10 years then yea, you probably want to get some delrin bushings. https://www.tmrcustoms.com/collections/jeep-door-hinge-bushings-liners/products/jeep-delrin-door-hinge-liners-fits-4-door-jeep-jk-add-removal-install-tool

    Does it really matter which brand for mods?

    Man, I just tried to do a sensible set up for most things while still being able to retain just taking the thing out for drives or errands. Muh real rock crawler stuff is like $30 grand in differentials and 7 in a proper suspension then another 2 in tires. Too expensive for my blood for just a toy.

    New to this forum, not to Jeeps

    They are in fact BF Goodrich 285/70R17s. When they wear out I intend to get Wildpeaks again in 35. I was told I had 16 reports filed against me. I'm apparently not nice enough to the boomers and they take offense at everything if you're not deferential. It's not a bad forum but the Canadian...

    Build Sheet and Window Sticker Generator

    I'm pretty sure those of us with '07s to '12 can't get our window stickers but we can get our build sheets.

    Pod Light Brackets?

    Because if I'm driving and there's 50 mph crosswinds, etc, which are not uncommon where I live, I want to know if these mirrors are going to get slammed into the side of my door or not. The OEM ones can take it.

    Does it really matter which brand for mods?

    My Stinger bumper is from Affordable Offroad. I can tell it's a quality part and the steel is THICK but I have no idea if it's US steel or not. Their website only says hand built in the US. It's a lot thicker than my rear stub bumper from Rugged Ridge which I *know* is Chinese. That being said...

    Good radio

    Are you talking a aftermarket stereo head unit or a CB or GMRS radio set up? Like most things, "good" depends on how much you're willing to spend.

    Does it really matter which brand for mods?

    It's all Chinese steel nowadays, I think the only difference is vendor QC and how you use it. As I've said elsewhere, just the realities of the global economy. Nothing is truly "American made" anymore just American assembled.

    It was only for that first model year for JKs. I don't know why they stopped doing it but yea, it's rare as hens teeth. I want to upgrade to 5.13s though because 4.10 just isn't enough in New Mexico.
