You can rattle can pretty much anything, as long as your expectations for the finished product are reasonable.

If you're talking about the Wolfbox smart mirror, add my vote. I've got one in each Wrangler, and I'm going to put one in the Vette.

I operate on the assumption that if people are coming here to ask how to do something, it's because they want to do that thing. And changing a heater core doesn't require anything other than simple basic hand tools.

So... change it yourself.

Expensive? You can get a heater core from Amazon starting at like $30.

Raise the nose of the Jeep. Even just pulling up onto one of those wheel stops in a parking lot or a curb will work. Take the cap off the radiator. Start the engine. Turn the heater on at it's highest setting so the coolant is going through the heater core. Let the engine get up to temperature...

Never heard of such a thing. Which means either this is your million dollar idea, or you're the only person who thinks it's needed. It wouldn't be difficult to make one, and the fact that nobody does makes me lean towards the latter possibility as the more likely.

If the hoses were leaking, it would almost certainly be in the engine compartment, not passenger. When you replace the core, it makes absolutely no sense to not go ahead and replace the cheap rubber hoses.

And a 2005 Peterbilt 379 has a GVW of 52,000 pounds. An irrelevant comparison is an irrelevant comparison. If you're going to compare the Wrangler to a full sized pickup, the only reasonable comparison is to a 1/2 ton truck. A Wrangler build up easily increases the weight by 20% and can double...

A stock 4 door Rubicon weighs about 4,600 pounds. That is NOT a light vehicle. Built, you're EASILY looking at 500-1,000 pounds more. An F150 and the Ram 1500 both start at around 4,800. That's about a 4% difference, stock-to-stock. I do not think that 4% is significant by any stretch of the...

No. Anti-seize is a silver goop that you put on to PREVENT things from sticking. WD40 is sprayed on later to RELEASE things that are already stuck.

Download the app. Use the in-app purchase for however many VIN licenses you want. Look at the list of OBDII dongles on the web site. Buy one. I got this one, which seems the most common choice: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XGB4873/?tag=jkforum-20

JScan is ubiquitous amoung posters here.

That assumes there's not a vehicle in front of you... If your air filter is good, the dust won't matter as much as the decreased air flow from the super long air tube. Or at least encourage them to get some pitons...

Start paying for the gas, insurance, and maintenance.

Well let's be honest. 99% of the snorkels on Jeeps are completely useless. And thanks to the Hagen–Poiseuille equation, we can show without a doubt that they rob your engine of power. But they do look cool.

You may have to break the hinge pins loose if they haven't been removed much (or at all). Maybe a rubber mallet, used cautiously.

One thing with leaky hardtops. The knobs used to tighten the bolts that hold the Freedom Panels in places are notoriously a cause. The instinct is to crank them down as tight as you can. But this seems to warp the panels a tiny bit and cause leaks. Snug them up, but don't over tighten them.

Toss them in the trash and install metal flares. :)
