It actually was quieter after a cleanout and fresh gear oil, idled in 4wd without exploding but not taking any chances with more damage.
It's at Offroad Elements getting a 4.56 gear set installed.

Hi, just saw this... I'm in Norwood, generally in your line of navigation, happy to meet up. My next event will be Fall Crawl.

Sorry for the suspense... the forum was down. I finally pulled the front and rear diff covers last weekend and what I found up front surprised me a bit... [FACE WITH STUCK-OUT TONGUE AND WINKING EYE] https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190815/6ecb097344f18cf9c2454264b2ad893c.jpg https://uploads.tapat...

Symptoms: Nothing at all in 2wd. Shift into 4-hi, and as long as I'm applying light throttle, nothing. As soon as I let off the gas, I hear a clunk, clunk, clunk... it seems to be timed with the wheel rotation (scientifically tested by leaning out the window). When I shift back to 2-hi, it persists ...

I just did a round of checking and retorquing all around before Sundays class VI run and found a bunch of things. Now I've picked up a tube of Markal security check paint. After you confirm and torque, you put a dab of paint across the nut and bolt. If it moves at all you can spot it just by looking...

Wow... I failed at internet.

Say what you want about gas or diesel vs. electric you have to admit this is pretty jaw dropping. I could use a setup like this in some of our more cozy wooded trails

So, I think.i.really want to.order this... but I need to hear it first. Please post up a short video when you get it on? After brookridge my tailpipe is now oval and the muffler is rattling.

I am headed to Otter River State park Friday & Saturday night (doing Brookridge Saturday). It's going to be 3 people and a dog, in a 2-door JK. After reinstalling the back seat, reality set in and it was clear that there is not enough cargo space to support 3+ people for 2 nights. To remedy that...

FWIW, I just put on tires, 315/70r17 (Cooper STT Pro). They are 34.4" on paper and about 34.25 as mounted and installed on the Jeep @ 30psi. But there's a lot of tires in that range: https://tiresize.com/tiresizes/34-inch-tires/ FWIW, there is about a 1/2" of variance across a lot of tires...

I just put on 35"s (2dr, stock height) and have been enjoying the low-rider look while I wait for my lift kit to arrive.
Definitely no trail time for me until its lifted but hoping to do it over a weekend. (Fingers crossed!)

Nice taste!

I also have a 2013 silver, 2-door JK (and I'm new as well)

Welcome!

Thanks, yes I did make it (a little late), impressed ... what a turnout! I like this group already. Welcoming and friendly. (And funny!)

Now can it be April already?

Hi! I'm Mark and I decided to stop lurking and join up. My Jeep is a silver 2013 JK Sport. It came home last fall. Outfitted with a soft top and we had a few weeks to enjoy that before it got too cold. Besides an oil change and thermostat replacement and a new battery, I haven't done anything major ...
