Toyo Open Country AT3s. Have them on both the JL and KJ. And the Nokain Outpost ATs on the LR3. All are great tires, I'd say the Toyos are a little more aggressive and do better off road, but still are very quiet and light weight. The Nokains are silent on road and ride great.
That's a rip. Take the knuckle out and buy a new ball joint and take the knuckle to a shop to have them press it out and the new one in. Should be like $100 per side with parts.
I've had 4 radiators in my KJ since it left the factory in July of 04:
1. Factory lasted till 8 years old/108k miles (replaced in 2012)
2. Napa radiator lasted 5 years/60k miles till 168k (2017)
3. Mopar radiator lasted about a week before developing a huge leak at the bottom
4. Mopar radiator...
The sensor for the flipper glass in mine went bad and did the same stuff - always thought it was open, alarm going off, lights on etc. Just unplugged it and it's been fine since. Nothing seems impacted by it, still locks normally.
Here's mine with 245/75/16 Toyo Open Country AT3s with the 927/948 combo. Little bit of rubbing in reverse on tight turns, but been that way 13 years. Not going to change that now! Love the tires.
Rear CV on the front driveshaft? Mine had a similar noise and it was that. It sounded like if you rub your finger around the rim on an empty glass. Then it turned into a chain dragging noise as the joint got worse and worse.
Does it happen over bumps going straight too? I had an upper shock mount fail and create a hell of a squeak that I had trouble diagnosing.
What the mount looks like when it fails:
That being said, the turning thing still makes me think a ball joint. When I had my KL, I had a LBJ fail that...
Could be. Doesn't last long for me and you need to make sure that if you put anything under the rack, you do it on both bushings or you will mess up your alignment.
Those are a lot of fun. What soap did you use? Tip: fill the lance with hot water first and then add the soap. Makes it foam better and you don't loose half your soap filling it! Took me awhile to figure that out, but you're smarter than me!
