One thing this trip taught me was, you can prepare for most things, but some are just out of the blue. I just ordered a set of extended thread lug nuts. Thanks to @tr21 I was able to cancel the first order (yep I ordered) and get the right ones on the way

24pcs Chrome Silver Bulge Lug Nuts - 1/2x20 Threads - 1.75 inch Length - ET Style - Cone Conical Taper Seat Shank - Closed End - Compatible with 6Lug Vehicles Wheels https://a.co/d/51SZnrj

The jeep i have came with LED headlights and one of them has decided to go out. They are the ones with three rows of lights. I didn’t care for the light pattern. What kind of LED headlights do most of the crowd recommend?

Good question, I still run the halogen headlights in my 2006 Rubicon.

IMO, LEDs are massively over rated as a means of casting light. They are bright as heck to oook at but don’t seem to shine very far.

I use Sylvania Silver Stars. Many folks also recommend Phillips Vision Plus or Extreme Vision.

OK so I am not hating on LEDs. They just don’t seem to cast light as far. If you like the look have at it. LEDs also last longer than the ones I mentioned.

Glad the repair worked out for you. Was the spare fromm 1800radiator also a Mopar?

No it's a yokorad or something like that. It's supposed to be their top tier line time will tell if by chance I need it.

I figured for close to 70.00 cheaper than Orileys and a lifetime warranty. Might as well have a spare.

Anyone got a handle on a high mileage conventional? Or is it all synthetic blends these days?

 

[tr21]

there's a pennzoil with a red label that's supposed to be conventional ! you have to look close and it's getting hard to find.

The radiator shop local to me no longer repairs radiators. All they really do is clean DPFs now.

They are still called Chatham Radiator though.

Radiator shop's are getting to be a thing of the past I am afraid.
