    What did you do to your JK today?

    I have to rely on the "frequent buyer discount"! :ROFLMAO: 😬:mad:

    Engine code and oil leak

    You might want to take a look at a few videos of the process before you commit to doing it yourself. I'm all about saving money when it doesn't need to be spent, but I think this particular repair may be best suited to someone that has done it before with all of the horror stories I have...

    Gascap light

    That's what I would be worried about as well, but it's hard to imagine what might be underneath the previous 'fix'... Maybe it's better to "start fresh" with a good look at what is actually cracked/broken/etc. and then decide on the best 'final fix'. Also, the PO may not have used the right...

    Gascap light

    It may sound stupid, but I recently used a can of spray sealant on a project, and I think it might be a great solution here. I think it would adhere to the area fine w/o a ton of cleanup and prep. A brush and a rag would probably be all that's needed... this stuff sticks to anything. It will...

    Gascap light

    I'm no expert, but I would probably try to clean that off and reseal it before replacing anything.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    I strongly recommend replacing those factory battery clamps.

    Roof Rack Quandry

    Excuse my ignorance, but how will that device allow you to use the bike rack (top placement) and the storage rack (bottom placement) at the same time for anything beyond a child-size bike? The bicycles will still hang down onto/directly above the rack, basically wiping out any legitimate storage...

    Roof Rack Quandry

    I have both (roof rack and hitch rack) Roof rack is only on the JKU. It's great for bulky items that are not too heavy to load/unload (not awesome for a large cooler, or firewood, for instance). I do find it very useful for folding chairs and tables that never seem to fit well inside the cargo...

    Intermittent cylinder 4 misfire

    I recommend examining the wire harness at/around cylinder #4. If you feel ambitious, consider swapping the plug and coil pack from #4 w/ another and see if the misfire remains on #4. I would also consider doing a compression/leakdown test. Although rare, I recently read a post stating that...

    Anti-skid warning light?

    That could be enough. Consider getting an alignment w/ the wheel CENTERED before you spend any other $$ chasing this issue.

    Anti-skid warning light?

    I've heard of speed sensor connectors coming loose or making poor contact, resulting in error codes as if the sensors are failing. If it were me, I would give a thorough inspection of the sensor connections (probably even adding dielectric grease as a barrier to future corrosion & faulty...

    2016 Jeep Wrangler JK won’t start and has a "hot oil" message on dash

    Reach out to them. They may not have any cores for your vehicle… they also offer repair services. Not sure if that’s an option on yours, depends on what has failed. If you opt to repair yours, they will advise regarding the process and cost.

    2016 Jeep Wrangler JK won’t start and has a "hot oil" message on dash

    I replaced the TIPM in ours with a unit from here: Goecm.com Cost was WAY less than the dealer.

    Anti-skid warning light?

    Can you scan for any codes?

    LED low beam headlights too bright for oncoming traffic

    I call bullshit. Aim your lights properly and this problem will go away.

    Lightning bolt on dash limp pedal and 3 codes

    This is how my trouble started... intermittent electrical issues and warning lights, followed by codes, & limp mode. My root cause was shorting wires at the oil pressure sensor, but since this circuit uses the same 5V reference signal as several others, it is difficult to determine which...

    Full sized cargo liner

    My approach to this would be to build a template from chipboard or cardboard, making sure to minimize any details or intricate shapes/cutouts. Once the template is complete, lay it on the floor of the garage or workspace and get some measurements. I'm fairly sure that the size required would...
