    Sleeping with air mattress in a JKU?

    I'm 6'3" 250. But sleep on my back. Taking a 1-2 week trip. Not off road. Considering an air mattress in the back. But really just for this trip. And maybe a couple weekend trips. So I don't really feel like I need an expensive long lasting one. Has anyone ever used one? How flat is the bottom...

    Which Android OBD2 scan app?

    Jscan is a subscription service? I thought it was an app you could buy outright.

    Why this forum kicks ass

    I have been a member on the TJ sister forum for about 3 or 4 yrs. With around 3k to 4k posts. And been here in the JK forum, once getting my JKU, within the last year. And been a member on dozens of forums over the last 25+ years. I have to say there are older, larger forums. But the way...

    Which Android OBD2 scan app?

    I bought a cheap blue dongle off aliexpress. And just plugged it into my sons car last night. I was impressed for $5. Lol. But I would like to get the Veapeak unit and Jscan for my 2012 JKU. I have read some of the Jscan website. But what can it do that a simple scanner only can't? I have...

    I read good reviews on here about Torque. But this other one has 10m downloads and 4.6 stars. Which one is best? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.prowl.torque https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ovz.carscanner

    Radiator fluid smell

    Completely agree. I do not want to piece meal this engine one problem at a time. As like I've said, these various repairs could ad up to way more than simply replacing the engine. Very helpful information. Thank you.

    Radiator fluid smell

    If I had a bad cylinder would it show in how the Jeep ran? I only ask because I considered this before. But I don't recall why I decided not to have it done. It runs fine. But I will ask my mechanic. At this point if it would prove a major problem I'll just replace the engine. And be done with it.

    Radiator fluid smell

    I could do the repairs myself. But my wife had a heart transplant. So most of my time is taken up with her. Alot went into my decision to buy this Jeep. At the time I sold my TJ for 11k. And that was my budget. So I was sure I was going to end up with an 07-10 JKU with the weaker 3.8. And most...

    Radiator fluid smell

    My 2012 JKU Sport gets a strong antifreeze smell in the cab regularly. It's intermittent but more often than not. Once its heated up. I had it at my mechanics a month ago. He checked the heater core for leaks and did not find any. Although I don't think he did a pressure test. He did find a...

    How to get Uconnect to connect faster?

    Ya. I totally agree. A cheap android double din is lightyears ahead of this. IMHO they are better than than most of the $1000+ name brand stereos. You can get an android 12 double din 10 inch with 6G+128GB for $300. With the entire dash kit. It's just a ways down on my list of improvements. I...

    How to get Uconnect to connect faster?

    For sure. The plan is an android double din 10 inch unit from Ebay/China. I had one in a Yukon. It was awesome.

    How to get Uconnect to connect faster?

    Ya. It shouldn't take 2 min to connect tho. My old kenwood would hook up almost immediately.

    How to get Uconnect to connect faster?

    Is there anyway to get Uconnect to connect to my phone faster using Spotify? Or is there a trick to keep it from taking forever to connect? My 1999 Jeep TJ with an old Kenwood single din connected faster than this 2012 JKU! And sometimes it just doesn't connect. Or I have to keep closing and...

    6.5" Speakers: Polk vs Kicker?

    I had Polks in my TJ and they sounded great. Most on the TJ forum seem to prefer them. But I see alot of recommendations for the Kickers on the JK forums. I'm a casual listener. Not looking for high fidelity. But the stock speakers in my 2012 JKU suck pretty bad. Would like to just be able to...
