Have you check the starter relay? If so, I'd lay a bet on the ECM.

Installed the PPE thermal bypass on the transmission lines. The OEM one has a thermostat in it that didn't start opening until around 170°F. I didn't like my transmission temps that high, the ATF +4 fluid likes lower temps. We'll see in the next few hours what my temps get to. Install took about...

The JK doesn't come with them, but you can add them very easily. Well at least on the 2012+. I think the only way they came factory with the 2012+ is IF it had the auto climate controls. They take about 5 minutes to add on the 2012+.

That's interesting. I had to put a zip tie to hold the headlight plug to 3 prong adapter in the factory wiring harness night before last. I thought I had a LED headlight going out. I have these in my JK & TJ. I really like them, if you decide to change yours...

Yea. The filter design on the 3.6 is dumb. It doesnt have a drain back valve causing an almost dry start every time.

I'd leave it be if it's stuck closed. Probably the best thing that could've happened to the engine itself.

Bought 2 Walker replacement cats for the 3.6. Now to get them installed (dreading it).

Get you one of these and you'll be good. I have the one in the middle and have never broken a clip.

The pins on the inner fender liner? Yea, those are reusable as long as you don't break them removing them. I took my inner fenders liners out to put O2 sensors in and didn't replace the plastic clips.

$20 says he doesn't

Her JK 🤷‍♂️

It is a PITA by yourself. It's doable by yourself (ask me how I know 😉) but would be 1,000x easier with another set of hands to slip the belt off a pulley while you hold it. The longer 1/2" breaker bar you have the better too for more leverage.

Swapped the alternator for a new one. First time I've paid attention to it being backwards. The hardest part of the swap was the stupid hydraulic belt tensioner. The factory one lasted 225k miles. I guess it was time.

Everyone I know who has a JL and tries to build them winds up selling it and building a JK. Too many electronics in them.

You'll like them. I have them in my JK and TJ. There isn't another that is comparable.
