  3. Lift Kit Needs - Steel Bumper, future winch, trying to limit cost

    Howdy all, I think I'm finally at a place where I'm ready to pull the trigger on doing a lift and committing myself to actually installing it as opposed to paying someone.

  10. JLUS Squeals During Sharp Turn

    So, in the past 3 days I've noticed a "squeel" while turning towards driver, but only during a sharp turn of over 30 degrees. At first I thought something might be rubbing, but after inspection while turning; I can't find any rubbing issues. The sound seems to follow the wheel rotation and I...

    *** ISSUE WAS FIXED. PLEASE READ BELOW *** I am part of that group of JL owners who have loose steering.
