People with experience.. is a little clutch chatter normal? Chilling in neutral with the clutch not engaged and I can hear it, but when I step on the clutch it goes away. Not sure if it's been making that noise the whole time and I'm just more sensitive to it now, or if something is up. I don't hear anything while driving, but it's quiet enough that it'd be drowned out by road noise.

How loud are we talking? Can hear it with the top/doors on, windows up, etc?SAWCE wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 1:39 pm People with experience.. is a little clutch chatter normal?

I don't recall mine having any chatter at all. Generally noise with the clutch out on an OE clutch is a sign of pilot bearing issues.

Yeah can hear with top on and windows up. I'll try to get a video tonight, not sure if it'll be audible. I'll walk around the engine bay with it running too to see how it sounds outside on camera.Detroit wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 1:51 pmHow loud are we talking?

Well, outside or with the windows open or whatever will be more audible. But if you can hear it with everything closed up, that might not be normal.

What liners will you use?[user not found] wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 11:58 am Rained all night, dry this morning.
Probably got all engorged at the thought of me spending money on it and ordering new seals.
I'll check later today and see if it's still the same. If it's an occasional leak -
Carpet will just stay out and I'll go ahead and line the tub.
Oh... what do you think of liner coating like rhine vs rubber liner mats like weathertech/husky?
Ufff jelly

OEM jeep parts are basically so cheap it is a "crime" to go aftermarket to upgrade the rigs.
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/pts/d/ ... 41261.html Entire suspension $195
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/pts/d/ ... 21934.html or for the JL
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/wto/d/ ... 90727.html $1250 for the nice ones here all 5. I am sure he'll take $1100 in cash.

All the upgrade wheel sets do seem to be out west though.
I was just showing you an example locally... I am sure there are other places (florida maybe) that tends to have a lot of jeeps also. BTW grayhound should do some cheaper bulk shipping heard people that had decent luck with it.

It isn't bad... but something about those wheels, doesn't sit super well with me.[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Jan 28, 2019 6:49 pm I think I like the non-upgrade wheels better with white lettering.

I have never seen a set of wheels and tires that is new for this little. Insane.
