Swapped the factory speakers for a Kicker set up from Bantam Overland. These are a massive improvement over the OEM infinity, even with the factory amp. Granted, I have a radio with an excellent equalizer in it. The fronts are a mid-bass with tweeter and the rears are full range. They really compliment the OEM sub.

I found this plug in the upper side of the driver side dash area. Anyone know what it is for?

Hit a deer on my way home from work. I'd show y'all a picture but there's literally nothing wrong with my Jeeps front end. Just some fur here and there. The deer did not make it in case anyone was wondering.
Didn't do anything to my Jeep lately. I've been busy getting sponsors to donate for my silent auction table. I'm going to be hosting a Barricade Go Topless Day event in Central Pennsylvania if anyone is interested. So far Rough Country, Rhino USA, Stoner Car Care, and Barricade donated for my event.
When I got my Jeep the previous owner had installed a DV8 air flow style hood that was never coated properly. After a summer in Florida it was showing its age and starting to rust so it was time to refinish it. I live at almost 9000 feet and have been dying to do this all winter. It finally hit 60 degrees today so was a perfect day to paint. (YEP that is snow melting in the background.)
I just went with the cheap roll on bed liner and self ething primer after knocking all the loose paint off and a quick sand. The main goal was just to buy some time before having to replace the hood entirely. But I must say it looks a million times better.
For a couple hourds and $50 it will work until I find a replacement.

In between unboxing donations for my Go Topless Day event and work, I did find some time to give my faded plastic some attention. I tried something new. Got it from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SHJVK4G?tag=wranglerorg-20 Here's some before and after pictures. We'll see how it holds up!
Replaced the wife’s power steering pump and steering stabilizer. Bleed the system and everything looked good. Put everything back together, clean up and then what I do I see? A little puddle of fluid. Wiped it up and only to see more. For some reason the return hose is leaking where it slips over the pipe. Not if the clamp is tweaked or the hose has a problem, Wasn’t leaking before. I wondering if the old simply is deformed a little from how the old clamp sat and the clamp not being in the same spot. Anyways ordered a new hose, clamp etc. and will replace it.
My daughter speedometer would drop to zero, a few lights would flash and make a ding. Error codes showed a stuck brake switch and high voltage. She has an extended warranty so she made an appointment. I told her “hey may just be a loose battery cable”. Went out and checked. The negative was loosy-goosy. Managed to take off the little piece with the little bends and managed to bend them back a little. Got everything re-assembled. It’s been about two weeks and it hasn’t happened since.
Always check the cables.
Always check the cables.
Thx! I knew about the 2011 and up recall. My JKU is a 07. It has been wiped out since I bought it.
Rolled over 300K KM’s or 186 411 miles yesterday .
Put on new wiper motor and assembly today . Wipers were not operating properly or returning to the “ home”position . Works good now .
Polished my aluminum shafts again . They were looking rough after a winter of salt & grime . Greased up the joints as well .
Yes they will probably get dirty on Sunday but will rinse off .

I made the same "repair" of the bent fingers and it lasted until the first time I took it on a dirt road. We had driven around for hours on the trail and the first time we turned it off, it wouldn't start again. Battery was still above 12.4, but it wouldn't even crank, wouldn't even click when I was miles from the freeway.
I cannot emphasize this enough,
CHANGE THE FACTORY BATTERY TERMINALS OUT FOR A PAIR THAT GRIP THE ENTIRE POST.
The factory clamps only grip around the post on two slim rings (not to mention the soft fingers that distort before drawing the clamp tight) & the cables are so tight from the battery to the loom, that there is no flex in the cable/harness... this makes the factory clamp dig into the post when they move about and then you will end up with 2 grooves worn around the post... right where the clamp is supposed to grab. Result is an intermittent and unreliable ground for the entire vehicle.
BTW, either the ECU/TIPM units are routinely getting compromised by these power surges, (as they are often replaced as desperate attempts to 'fix' the electrical system issues), or they are also pieces of unreliable car electronics brought to you by Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep/Stellantis.

Hey There
A Premium . $155 CDN.
So the wipers are working really well . What’s a bonus is the single wipe is faster than the original .
My only concern is if you look at pics of original . It has the grooved mount where the nut attaches . it also has a secondary support collar that is also grooved . I’m guessing extra strength if you have a snow load on the windshield .
The A Premium does not have the grooved secondary support collar . It comes with a collar that is not grooved and just sits there so it does nothing. Didn’t put it on .
Only get snow once or twice a year but if you live in snow rich environment would look elsewhere .
Hope this helps .
Thanks. I made a recommendation to her to have them changed (means I do it, she buys the parts). No action on her end. Have five jeeps and a Gladiator in the family. I make recommendations and do most of the work. Part buying is up to them.
