Get 0 deductible glass coverage if you can. The monthly payment is usually really cheap.

^^ Yes
Having one Jeep is bad enough with replacements. Having 2 this is worth it. Esp when you have to replace 2 within weeks of each other :mad:

I was able to get a higher comprehensive coverage with a $50 deductible for glass luckily.

thank you!!
 
Went to go change the oil for the first time today and found out the hard way that someone over torqued the drain plug bolt… now before I take this plug out, I need to go get a new one 🤬 it still didn’t budge. I had to watch Eddie’s video to make sure that it’s not reversed threaded, that’s how tight this thing is in there…

Oh man that sucks!!! But at least it’s a lot easier to get a bolt out/replace than replacing an oil pan haha always a silver lining!

Damn, that sucks. If you haven't done so already, try driving around and heat up the oil. That might help a bit and then, use a breaker bar with a 6 point socket. I bet you'll be able to get it out with that.

Thanks for that pointer! I’ll have to give that a try, it’s been sitting for a day or two.

Definitely get it warmed up. There's a rubber like gasket between the bolt head and pan that will stick pretty good when cold.

I would have never thought that could’ve been the issue. Thank you for the heads up on this. It’s been cold and rainy today, so if that is the case it’s probably even stiffer.
 
I’m looking to get snow tires in the next couple of weeks, is it possible to squeeze 35 inch tires under a rubicon without a lift? The lift might come in the spring, we will see.

On a JL, for sure. On a JK, you will have some rubbing when flexing and at a full turn but you can otherwise get by around town with them.
