Hi All. Anyone ever seen this before? Wet with gas on its side running down to carrier. Can smell the gas when you walk past. I carry this on my swinging spare carrier… maybe a rock hit it? Any way to repair? Or do I just need to get a new one?

Oof! I’ve searched multiple times and never found one, checked again before posting… and there’s one right on Amazon 😂. Thank you! I’ve also noticed that most now include reflective tape so I’m guessing people cover cars parked on the street.

I'm curious if anyone knows why you don't see camouflage Jeep covers? I'd buy one if available... but they are not? Anyone here have a camouflage cover for your 4-door? If so, where did you get it? thanks!

Posting in case anybody else has seen this and can help me solve quickly. My 2013 JKU will randomly lose all electrcial power for a second while driving, then get power back. A dash tone sounds, and power to the instrument cluster is lost (gauges drop to zero), drops out of cruise control, ABS...

Forgot to update this thread with the solution. Turns out I had a small leak in the thermostat housing cover. As it turns out the location for the thermostat is roughly over the front diff, which is why the diff and steering stabilizer were dripping with coolant. I didn't find this... i...

Ok posting to help others w their spod. Turns out the cover on/off was just a coincidence (thrice!) I also have a Genesys dual battery setup, and spod waits until the accessory battery is charging before coming on, which according to spod can take a couple minutes. Due to the sequence of how I...

yeah that's what I'm worried about... that the behavior is not normal and is some kind of grounding or other problem. I've resolved the light bar and rear bumper light problems, and don't want to have a random problem like this lingering. My compressor is wired to the sPOD, as are both lockers...

Bought my JKU used; previous owner installed an sPOD. I’ve been debugging some lights that didn’t work and other intermittent problems and noticed that my spod doesn’t work at all with the cover off. is this normal? Ie is this a feature? I’m not finding anything about this. Thank you!

Great tips thanks. I double checked the overflow tube and it looks attached and is dry, but seeing the location of the reservoir, it would make sense that it was coming from there. It's almost directly over the front dif. I haven't had any work done recently. There is some coolant in the...

2013 JKU, ~70k miles but well cared for. I'm second owner; purchased last year. I've noticed occasionally very slight smell to me like burning antifreeze but could be burning something else (I'm not a mechanic but have owned enough used cars to have experienced a few problems...) Anyway...

well, I should have thought of a magnet. :) thank you will give that a go when i'm up again.

Bought my jeep used with these Pro Comp rims, and am looking to buy another set to swap winter and summer tires. Would like the exact match as I have a spare with the same rim/tire combo I'm getting. How do I know if these are the Series 97 steel wheels or the Series 69 alloy wheels? 97 and 69...

I’m going to run winters and summers. Having a set sit around sucks but the procomps were downright scary on snow and ice. I did buy them the same size so I guess I can use my summer spare during the winter in a pinch

Y I bought my rig last summer, so don’t know why spare rotation wasn’t done. What is your schedule and pattern for rotation? my plan is to get the same tire and switch between winter and summer tires. Also, I didn’t buy a fifth winter tire.. was that a mistake?

Well yeah.... Big lugs with zero sipping left and the wrong rubber compound... I had to throw into 4wd just to make it up the street to my house!
