    Backup lights Manual Trans

    My backup light work in Reverse. They also light in neutral. Some times in 4th gear, but a little pressure on the shifter can turn them off and on in 4th. Any idea where I should look and what might cause the problem. I have no idea when this started as I don't drive much at night. Thank you...

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

    It is good to be able to look at the dash and know if your inflation is even. I set the warning light to come on with the lowest Jscan would allow. the setting might have a low of 22# which is about right for "I have a problem" if i didn't air down on purpose. In the winter I usually like to...

    One ugly JK!

    No touch screen navigation radio? I guess I'll pass.

    Been thinking about getting a Dash Cam

    1080p is good enough. 4K if you have a super computer for editing and storage. A kit that has a rear camera and gps is perfect. Spending big $ won't get you anything special. I prefer suction cup mount for the front as opposed to glue on. My rear camera is mounted to the bottom of the bumper...

    2011 JK Daytime Running Lights

    Get Jscan. Do not mess with any wiring in a modern vehicle if avoidance is at all possible. I turned on my DRL selecting the high beam, and then selected 50%. It has options for up to 100% DRL. The computer controls all the lights so you can select which bulb you want to light. Jscan should be...

    New JK owner please help.

    A bad ground can throw O2 codes. Before throwing parts at it, focus on the grounds. There is a well hidden ground that should be suspect.

    California Sale Value?

    If the bottom and inside look like the outside, and still steers like stock, I would offer it for $25 OBO and let them bargain a little. Even I would not be afraid that the previous owner did something stupid, judging by those photos. As to the 125k, there are those out there that would not...

    Hard Top ceiling panel removal for rear wiper and defroster wire harness

    Snowbear or Winter Wolf. Thats a TJ with plow. For this year I will mount it to my JK using a front bumper receiver. Light Duty but has plowed my 400' with few problems several times a year. Best was successfully moving 8" of very wet heavy snow.

    2011 JK Parking Brake

    Jscan allows you to chose which lights and the power for DRL. I set mine to High beam, 50% with jscan. As to the parking brake, I wouldn't leave it in neutral on a hill and depend on the brake to hold it. Not as good as the PB on my TJ, but it does border line work.

    Hard Top ceiling panel removal for rear wiper and defroster wire harness

    I would cut the existing wires between the vehicle and hatch and solder new wires with new endcaps. If you don't feel comfortable soldering this product might come in handy https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DPS8DPM/?tag=jkforum-20 When I bought my jeep, there was a wire loose from the back...

    Hard Top ceiling panel removal for rear wiper and defroster wire harness

    Your first picture showed that panel, so I thought that was the question. What is the problem with the existing wires.

    Hard Top ceiling panel removal for rear wiper and defroster wire harness

    Sitting in the driver seat there are 2 screws with big black handles up behind your head, remove. Then twist all the black L shaped holders and push up a little to verify you found them all.

    PLEASE HELP! Stripped holes from manifold to catalytic converter downpipe.

    Sorry, I was thinking of the joint between the cat and exhaust pipe. A much easier problem.

    PLEASE HELP! Stripped holes from manifold to catalytic converter downpipe.

    Mine rusted away on my 2013. I took it to the local hack shop and had them blow away what was left of the the studs and replace with bolt and nut. They thought it was no big deal and it didn't cost much. On my dodge dakota I used 2 of something like this...

    Loss of power in 4WD High

    There is a wire under the console that controls all the stabilizing functions. If I were using my jeep to it's full potential I would think this mod would be number one on the list. Cut the wire and insert a switch like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KJXBELC/?tag=jkforum-20 There are...

    Soft top replacement windows

    Odds are ... No. Might as well buy a whole new soft top. Zippers on every brand are probably different, even if the shape is the same. On my TJ I have never had a back window. It has a Pavement Ends top which is a Bestop economy brand. Bestop said no. They said only the tops branded Bestop...

    Uneven brake wear

    Modern Jeeps have "traction control" This applies a brake to a slipping wheel. Therefore the rear brakes are being applied while your foot is on the gas if the wheel speed sensors detect unequal rotation. Don
