    New radio compatibility

    I like that launcher. Did it come with your unit or did you install it? Mine is a Dasaita but I have a custom rom loaded. It's getting a little long in the tooth and I may need to update.

    New radio compatibility

    What year is your JK? The original non-display unit is not a single DIN... it's like 1.5 DIN or something weird like that. IIRC, on my 2008 I had to trim the opening and use a Metra Double Din mount to get it to fit. It wasn't perfect, but I was okay with the results. @Danarch did you have to...

    Rattle can tube door painting

    If you're not using them as an arm rest, I've had very good results using Rustoleum Black Fine Textured paint. IIRC, it does come in different shades of blue. The textured paint seems to mask any splotchiness from using a rattle can. I use it every year on my AEV bumper & on my sliders. Blends...

    P0303 engine code on 2008 Wrangler JKU

    With that many miles, I would also check the wiring harnesses before you start tearing down the engine. Over time, that engine compartment makes wire insulation brittle, or mice like to chew on things. My first thoughts would be just as you did, with plugs, wires, coil packs. Does it only...

    Need help with this coolant leak issue

    Its the labor charge involved that makes it expensive if you do it the "right" way.

    Time for an upgrade

    I don't necessarily think they look cool, but it sure does get some peoples undies in a bunch. If I lived in a desert, I like the concept of clean(er) air being sucked in, but around here, just not needed. But it would keep the mice out!

    Time for an upgrade

    Either mesh over the inlet or a snorkel (just because I can & it gets some Jeepers so condescending about the utility of them) 😆

    Hard Top Buddy (or similar): who has one?

    I made the mistake one year of lightly tapping the windows of my softtop and split the plastic. I've had soft top jeeps since '85 and that was a new one on me. Word to the wise, tap the fabric, not the plastic ;)

    What do these connectors go to?

    Yup, I have a '16 Sport S with them. Not very bright but functional.

    What do these connectors go to?

    I wonder if it's for the footwell lights?

    Speedo error after taller tire

    Since actual diameter is often different than what the manufacturer labels a tire, use a GPS app on your phone and compare. You could also measure the height of your tire and use an app like jscan to set the tire height and correct the speedo difference.

    Easy Bikini Top

    I picked up a Quadratec combo of bikini, windjammer, and tonneau cover pretty cheap a few years ago. Not overly impressed with them. I'm tempted to buy the Bestop version because it looks like there are fewer straps. And Bestop quality is 2nd to none.

    Yup, I have a set of those from Quadratec

    Not your normal head unit upgrade question...

    @Tammyj You can get the factory pieces, but it's a lot cheaper to buy an aftermarket unit, and you'll get a better sounding unit as well. NAV updates will likely be easier/cheaper, too. If you want an easy solution, go to www.crutchfield.com and look around. If you're adventurous, there are...

    Brake pedal vibration

    I've had a similar problem happen once, & my daughter in law had it happen to her jk (my old one) too. I suggested rotating the tires as a easy item to eliminate. Her mechanic father poo-poo'd the idea. Vibration gone. I suggested rotating tires regularly & checking for worn components. In her...

    Not your normal head unit upgrade question...

    Happy Easter! If your unsure what you need, call up Crutch field. They're very helpful. I guess it may depend on what you want to install. I know I needed an adapter for my android based unit, but I expect some hu's are plug 'n play.

    Body control module

    Yes you'll have to remove the airbag and steering wheel in order to get to the clock spring. I don't know of any way to test it, but the clock spring is the electrical connection for your stalks & SW buttons.

    Body control module

    What site is that? When I look up that p/n on the Mopar site, it comes back with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System receiver. https://store.mopar.com/oem-parts/mopar-tire-pressure-monitoring-system-receiver-68209837aa Edit, It looks like other sites are calling it the Sentry Key Immobilizer...
