A $1,500 community college AutoCAD class, a $500 3D printer, and $20 in black filament should do the trick.

Also, can you say which Smittybilt tire carrier you had installed? Maybe a picture of the side of it with the tire off of it? I think that most of them are adjustable and the closer you can mount the tire to the gate, the less wobble you will get. The bump stops do their best to reduce it but...

Couldn't make the payments and current trade-in value sucks?

Were the bump stops tight against the tire? If not, you might need to extend them until they are touching. That will take a lot of vibration out. https://www.quadratec.com/p/quadratec/tailgate-spare-tire-bump-stop-kit-wrangler-jk-jl

This hole is where the bump stop should be:

From the video I don't see the bump stop on the driver's side and it looks like the tire/wheel is shaking more than it should.

First thing is to mount the tire closer to the gate (if adjustable), and to make sure you have bump stops that bridge the gap between the tire and the gate.

No jokes. Here in CA (and I wouldn't doubt other places as well) windshield companies are required to check the calibration of adaptive cruise sensors whenever the glass is replaced. Eventhoughthe sensors on a Wrangler don't even touch the glass, $800 is added to the windshield replacement...

I wish that I had known it was for sale before TFL grabbed it.

They would be doing us a favor if they got rid of it. I hate my adaptive cruise in the Wrangler and the added cost for calibration when replacing the windshield adds to it not being worth it. Also, when the sensors go bad after the warranty period, prepare to bend over. My friend's adaptive...

Maybe the speaker screeches like an eagle to match an angry bird grill?

You will want the 37s 1 week after installing the 35s. Go 37. This was my evolution and I wish that I had just jumped right to the 37s from the start: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/35’s-on-2021-rubicon-questions.110581/post-2296084 Negative with the 37s compared to 35s: -more...

Do you have a picture of the new wheel on the tire carrier you can share?

Not from any YouTube video or website statistics, but based on owning and driving both: I had the standard 3.6L for about 63K miles from 2018 to 2021 and the 3.6L eTorque from 2021 to 2024 for about 42K miles and between the two, I would pick the eTorque all day, every day.

That will be an awesome upgrade and should be pretty quick, especially since you have access to a lift. I am sure you have already planned on it, but if not, you will need a programmer to change the gear ratio and de-activate the FAD.

How assembled are the new axles (shafts, knuckles, ball joints, brakes, etc. included)? If so, you can do it in 8 hours.

I would think that you should have more articulation than that...

You are more likely to get a ticket for the height of your bumper (lift and/or larger tires) than you are for the side to side length of the bumper. And, more than likely to roll the Jeep or ride up in a collision with a lifted Jeep than you are from a stubby bumper....but how many of us keep...
