TBH, if it was a dealer installed product that failed and caused these issues, it seems like they could be responsible for some of these repair costs. I'm just saying...

Good job. I think the assembly line workers start with those actuators as "Part A", and then they attach the rest of the Jeep to & around them.

Should be easy enough to test with a meter and an ignition key.

Replace the connectors or the harness; it's less than $100 IIRC.

Great fix. But if they work so well, why do they make you buy 4 of them? :unsure:

While I don't have such lights on the Jeep (either of them), I'll offer the following option to both protect and conceal otherwise-exposed wiring... If possible, I replace exposed wiring with an appropriately-sized SO cord. As an example, I recently made a new harness for the tourpack on my...

If it were me, in this situation w/ those wheels, I would probably fab up some flat center caps to keep debris out of those lug nuts. Looks like flat circles w/ two screw holes would do a lot to keep mud/etc. out of there. And you could put stickers on them.

See above regarding the factory battery clamps. I know it sounds like bullshit, but an intermittent/ poor ground really messes with ALL of the systems on these vehicles.

Center caps were probably lost or broken. The extra holes allow this wheel to be used for a different bolt pattern. This is pretty common on aftermarket wheels.

I don't understand why, but the wife hated this option. :unsure:

I have a locking nut on the spare, but not on any of the other wheels. Yes, the keyed socket is in the vehicle, along with a 1/2" ratchet and the socket for the others. If I was having trouble removing one, I would hammer an old socket on it and then get a buddy to hit it with the welder.

That's why I'm not yet convinced! (y)

Here's the link i was looking for. https://racingopticsjeep.com/windshield-defense/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw3vO3BhCqARIsAEWblcDMTDbF7e2TfEHO4HiPLaocADXTLcYmxqNINonwdh-_Ytfogv2WBwgaArP5EALw_wcB Interesting idea, but I'm not convinced yet. Gorilla Glass was $700+, standard OEM was about $350...

We’ve had the absolute worst luck with windshields the past few years. Replaced the original in my Charger because it was hazed a bit, then 2 weeks later a huge rock chip in the new one. Replaced the JK only for my brother-in-law to pop it with a surfboard within a week. Upgraded to the...

We are considering adding a canopy/awning to the side of our JK. I see a wide range of sizes, shapes, and prices from a ton of vendors. How useful is it? What problems you've had, etc. Please add a pic and your opinions on how well it works. One of my primary concerns is that the ones I've...

We took the "extra" vehicle for service today and down the street I saw a previously unknown Jeep service center called JeepCare in Huntington Beach. I don't need any service or upgrades at the moment, but I wanted to gather any reviews members here may have for future work.

Replace the battery clamps. ;) I know that sounds snarky, but a poor ground at the battery will cause a ton of CEL codes and misbehaviors that will make you look at other systems as the root cause. The factory clamps are 100% SHIT.

TECHNICALLY... electrons travel FROM Negative TO Positive. My Charger had a plastic mechanism in the shifter assembly that was apparently prone to breaking. It was a pink plastic gizmo that could be seen when the cover was removed. This device (or one similar) was breaking in multiple models...

Probably still cranking on it.

For our TJ, we have an older Yakima, 2-bike rack that mounts to a plate/post that goes through the spare tire. I had to have the post extended when we increased tire size, but it has been a great rack. We also have a 4- bike rack that mounts to the hitch if we take the JK, or need to haul more...
