Did this happen before or after you dunked your boat at the launch?

I suspect none of the wiring in the hitch harness is of sufficent gauge to charge batteries. I'd run a 4 gauge wire lead with an appropriate on/off switch from the battery to the hitch area and modify the camper system to use it instead.

Today marks 42 years (holy crap!) of marriage for us. Rings were exchanged at ceremony time, but that was the only time mine was worn. My wife put hers away shortly thereafter because we both worked in careers that valued keeping fingers over a display of marriage. Heck, I have a hard time...

If your phone's not plugged in on the holder, there's no power draw. It's just like leaving a USB cable hooked up. You're worrying needlessly.

Could be a dirty connection. If you’ve still got access to the connectors, use some contact cleaner on both ends of every connection, Dab with dielectric grease and reconnect. Make sure all the plug pins are seated in the plastic plugs too.

If you go with the TeraFlex kit, get their 9550 shocks to match. As tJKrider pointed out, a basic upgrade with stock and inexpensive parts will do the job to level your ride out.

I put a free flow muffler on the Jeep because I like the way it sounds. No expectations of any horsepower gains. *Personal opinion and experience* - CAI is paying good money to ruin the internals of your motor. The high flow filter passes more dirt particles than a good OEM filter. Not good...

Reprogram the ECU fuel map? Test the changes on a dyno? That’s the proof of performance increases in the real world.

Don't see why not. ;) It's only hard parts (famous last words!) with a very recent MOPAR thermostat replacement. Doing the big hoses while I'm in there with Gates OEM style.

Issues. Water pump and rad both leaking. Stuff wears out.

Dealer can easily remove old lost keys from the system, just takes money and an appointment. My wife lost both her keys for her Taurus. (I don't ask how) Towed to dealer, they made two new keys for $700. It's a racket, but the dealers hold the pat hand. Don't bother swapping system parts...

^This is why I have manual everything. ;) Someone will be along with power mirrors to really help figure it out. (sorry)

Scroll down, see the "similar threads"? Start reading there. So many things it could be. After that, isolate where the noise is coming from. With a buddy in the car and without you crawling under the car, have him put the car in N, listen for noise source under hood, transfer case...

Five tire rotation and balance done. Time to clean the wheels again. :) That spare was especially filthy under the cover. Oil change tomorrow. May do this one myself instead of paying the dealer. Water pump and radiator hoses are here. Radiator due tomorrow.

Bolt the catalog on next.

Amazon does sell a few Jeep items that are true brand name and off road tested, but they're not any cheaper than buying from the manufacturer. Smittybilt is one that comes to mind. The rest will last as long as the payments for what you spend. 35s on a stock Jeep is just asking for running...

HF tools are one time use and into the recycle bin. If I know I’ll need it more than that, visit the tool truck visitor of the week.

Washed, waxed, vacuumed the entire interior and de-stickered the windshield of expired passes. It’s all glossy black again! All that’s left is cleaning up the tires and wheels. So, at least another hour! lol Sucks to live on a muddy dirt road if you like a reasonably clean vehicle.

My experience is with motorcycle header pipes and the pipe wrap retaining water in contact with the metal, rusting them out in short order. I'd spend the extra $20 to have the shield welded back on.

It’s my understanding and experience that the wrap absorbs water and causes pipes to rust out rather quickly.
