Looks like ATF from the power steering lines.

I've heard that before. They also wouldn't rent to Ford Explorers for the longest time.

I'm in hilly western PA - 32s with 4.88s and 42RLE. I'm churning a little higher than I'd like on the highway but it definitely handles the hills a lot better. I would say a lot depends on future tires, terrain, and type of driving. I wanted a little breathing room to step up to 33s so I went...

Centric rotors.

110% happy with my Black Magic pads. I'm relatively stock - running 32s on Rubicon replicas and they perform extremely well. Break in took a little bit of time but was not difficult.

Another vote for ONR. Great to use when the Jeep is just a little dirty and the top is off.

I paid $2k in western PA for two axles, rear had a detroit trutrac installed. I don't see $2200 as crazy.

I'm running 4.88s with the 42RLE with a slight lift in the rear with no drop or SYE. I have a cyclical harmonic noise 70+mph. That kind of stuff normally annoys me but the interior of the Jeep is loud enough that I hardly notice. It seems to be more obvious when the soft top is on versus the...

That place is crazy with pricing. They currently have a six figure Wagoneer (and no not a new one!). I will admit I bought my LJ from that place but at a reasonable price that matched the market. It's just up the road from my house so I see a lot of their inventory and they seem to somehow turn...

Mine is still gooey from last year. I don't plan on Jeeping in the winter again so I'm going to work at cleaning the underside. My Grand Cherokee still has a pretty good coat as well - I'm being lazy this year and not doing it.

Fluid level, fluid condition, and has it been service with a fluid other than ATF+4?

I think it's in the 2600 range. 80 is getting close to 3k. You make a valid point about terrain. The extra gearing helps me out in the hills. I spend a lot more time in 4th with the converter locked which is helpful for temps.

I'm on 265/75R16s (31.6") and had 4.88s put in. Personally I would skip the 4.56 and go with 4.88s.

They definitely will... The weight of the Jeep plus the 2,000 or so pounds of the u-haul car hauler will definitely exceed what is safe. I would rent the small box truck and their trailer if you were in an absolute pinch.

My LJ had a set of Coopers with a 2011 date code on them. They had a ton of tread and zero cracks and I still junked them just because of the age. I wouldn't drive to the tire shop on those tires you posted above...
