    Heat blows hot on passenger's side but cold on driver's side

    Yep, heater core. I'm dealing with it right now. I'm a bit torn though. I did something I never do..... bought a warranty on the Jeep when I got it. I bought it due to the oil cooler problem these tend to have. I really didn't want to tackle that one myself. I'm torn because I don't know if I...

    Check TPM System

    Oh, the TIPM. Whoever came up with that idea should be strapped to a rock and crawled on! Some mess up, some don't. My wife's Liberty is getting screwy. The locks quit working and now the rear wiper continues on and on and on and on, before it finally stops. Oh, the odometer changes on it's...

    JScan disconnects from Bluetooth when using Pandora

    Personally, I wouldn't leave it plugged in all the time. That's an always on wireless connection to your vehicle. Modern BT is definitely more secure than past versions, but it's still possible that it could be hacked. I don't know why anyone would, but who knows, lol. I'm an IT guy, so I'm more...

    How do I tell the TPMS that 30-32 psi is normal so the low tire pressure warning doesn't come on?

    JScan all the way! $22 for the license and it will let you set pretty much anything, lol. No more relying on the stealerships! T

    Replacing factory fogs with LED cubes

    I can't comment on cubes, but I put LED 'bulbs' in my factory housings and they flickered something fierce. I ended up soldering a capacitor between the leads to fix the problem. T

    Opinions on Rancho 2.5 lift?

    I just did the Rubicon Express 2.5" with Rancho 5000 shocks. I'm staying with the stock 32" tires. I'm one of those weird dudes that likes that look! I don't do much wheelin' anymore, but love a lifted jeep! I'll end up with adjustable track bars, but used the offset bracket included with the...

    2014 2-Door JK Driver Seat Storage

    Actually, I think it's due to the tilt feature of the driver's seat. It doesn't leave much room for storage. Tim

    2014 2-Door JK Driver Seat Storage

    I've wanted this as well. Everything I see says the 2-door is different. I think it's the 'profile' of the tub under the seat. Tim

    Popping out of first gear

    I believe they changed the 'seal' between the shifter and the tranny due to this occurring. Some have removed the shifter and cut away some of the old gasket/seal. I would just replace it if I went that far though, lol. The early models also seemed to have trouble with teeth breaking off. That's...

    Switch to GMRS from CB

    If I'm not mistaken, the cost gets cut down to $35 this summer. I'm just waiting for that to happen. I have my ham ticket, but the fam needs GMRS. Tim

    Looking for opinions on a 2010 JK Sport

    I had an '07 with the ngs370. It was a piece of crap! While I couldn't attest to the previous owners care, that tranny is known to have some issues. Others have had zero issues, so who knows. I know I'll never own another as you can't get all of the parts to rebuild them. Even the dealerships...

    Hard water marks below door mirror

    Ugh. I didn't read enough, lol. My deposits were running down my door. Original Post: I just dealt with this. 50/50 vinegar and water. Spray it on, keep it wet, and let it sit. I think I let it sit for 1/2 hour. I then sprayed it down with clean water and wiped with a microfiber rag. Deposits...

    Any idea what this PIAA box is for my headlights?

    Not really. I've never had HIDs before. I was going by a receipt in the PO's records. It had "LED Headlights" handwritten on it. They may not have known either though. All work/service to the vehicle was done by shops/dealers. I don't think they did anything themselves, lol. They have a large...

    Any idea what this PIAA box is for my headlights?

    So, I was checking out my LED bulbs this evening. They appear to be PIAA and have this box in-line with the harness. Any idea what it is? I thought maybe it was for flickering, but they had a flicker until I made changes with the J-Scan app (HID & LED settings). T

    First 'mod' for my new Jeep

    I was playing with my 3D printer and decided to name my new JK (Hydro Blue Pearl)... T

    Is anyone into HAM radio?

    K0THC here. I've had my ticket for a couple of years, but I'm just now starting to learn it, lol. Life gets in the way all too often! Currently, I have a HT and Kenwood TM-281A. It's my 'base station' for now, but will most likely end up in Grover. 73, T

    My new baby

    Not really. It'll get a small lift eventually, but I'm not a big wheeler. We plan on taking it to the Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway in Kentucky next year, but just for the mild trails, lol. T

    My new baby

    Mine's a '15 and the Copperhead Pearl one is my daughter's. She just picked it up last week. Her first car that's all her own! She really had no chance. She's been in CJs/Wranglers since she was 3 or so. T
