    Rusted Tailgate Latch

    Funny seeing this post now. A year later I traded it in. Largely (but not 100%) due to this issue. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Dumb Battery Question

    My last odyssey in my Wrangler lasted me 8 years before I replaced it due to age only. It was still working ok. Fantastic batteries. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Looking for trim and model year suggestions

    You're going to have to choose between the rear locker and the ventilated seats unless you add either after the fact. Personally, with your requirements, I'd buy a Limited and add a rear locker. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    KO2 vs. wet pavement

    Duratracs are great at first. After 15-20k the wet traction goes away. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    New Jersey (NJ) Shops

    I've used them many times in the past. Hell, I've wheeled with the owners, been to their events, etc. That was 10+ years ago, no idea what the status is these days. They used to be very solid, just commanded a very solid price and were booked waaaaaay out. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    KO2 vs. wet pavement

    I got to experience these on a rental JL this past week. Wet traction is still awful. Just like every other BFG tire ever made. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Neutral Safety Switch

    That's great you're prepared. PB only bought me a few weeks when mine went. I covered my current one in PB and then fluid film when I bought it at 60k just as a precaution (2016 limited in the NE bought last year). So far so good. Not looking forward to doing that job again. I actually...

    New Jersey (NJ) Shops

    The 4x4 Place in Jefferson is pretty sick. I visited them 2 weeks ago for the first time and was quite impressed. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    How do I know when nmy drive belt needs replacing?

    People generally don't do the water pump on these as PM. They last a long time. Personally I'd do the belt and leave the WP alone until it starts giving problems. Hoses maybe? I'd do them before the WP. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Trade-in value?

    I got $11k for my 2012 SR5 Premium with 190k. Carvana offered me $11,600 so 11k trade in was worth it with sales tax figured in. It's not your situation exactly but it's close and was fairly recent. Hope that helps. Use Carvana against them instead of KBB or NADA. Mine was super clean except...

    How do I know when nmy drive belt needs replacing?

    2016 with 70k here. Just did mine. It's rubber that's almost 10 years old and is one thing I'd hate to have fail on me on a trip. I was getting a soft squeak squeak squeak on startup when it had rained overnight. I carry the old one as a backup and a spare 14mm (I think, or whatever it is) in...

    Changing suspension

    Eibach Pro Truck rides ok. That's what I swapped my X-REAS out with. Decent 2.5," front 1" rear. I can do 1000 miles a week at times for work and I'm OK with it, even with stock UCA's so far. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Neutral Safety Switch

    That's a scary thought. I'll go through the 7 hours or whatever it took me last time before I go that route. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    1GRFE slight ping at highway cruising speed.

    5-10 minute job max. And cheap. Just don't over tighten it. It's not supposed to sit flush when installed. Look at the old one for reference. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk
