    Go into the options/settings of the radio head. It will give you the model number there.

    The Alpine unit can likely have an aftermarket camera added. You can look up the Alpine model and then go on the Alpine website to see the Alpine cameras that will work with it.

    Dome light not turning on when opening driver's door

    Somebody might not have reconnected the plug on the driver's door if they removed the door. Also, take a voltmeter or test light to see if the plugs are getting power.

    What backup camera are you using?

    I used the Alpine backup camera system that was recommended by Alpine to use since it can be activated while in the drive gear. It comes useful when I tow the Travel Trailer. For the record I have the X409 head unit and have the Sirius module installed as well.

    New to Jeep, What to look out for?

    If you replace any of the 02 Sensors, you have to go OEM an for the valves the same thing as the computer gets acid reflux if you use the wrong stuff.

    Adding a 7-way connector to hook up to trailer brakes

    I tow a T@B320 S 15 footer, a 2016 model with the3 2018 JK that I have and you can a photo of my setup on the forums here. It tops 3000 when loaded and has electric brakes too that are remotely controlled.

    Adding a 7-way connector to hook up to trailer brakes

    Not trying to scare you, but I have towed everything but a 5th-wheel with a variety of vehicles and have had a Slide-In Camper unit too. Seen some nasty wrecks, that resulted in fatalities. RVing, while fun can have the downsides. You just have to use the right type of vehicle, have the correct...

    Is there a manual locker that can be installed in my automatic 2017 JKU?

    I use Eaton Electric Lockers front and rear and I have an automatic. No problems noted. I manually switch them on or off when needed. Is the Aussie locker an air locker by chance?

    Has anyone used this Banks CAI?

    I am a creature of habit. Every vehicle I have owned and currently own, I record the mileage, amount of fuel and cost then I put that up on a couple of different sites like the US Government MPG website and another independent website. The US Government is www.fueleconomy.gov and the other is...

    Adding a 7-way connector to hook up to trailer brakes

    I agree with the dicey tow. We are not saying it is impossible, but the trailer will be close to the weight of the JK itself so if that starts to wiggle the JK will be jerked around a bit. Be prepared to use the control for stabilization, i.e. keying the controller to engage the brakes of the...

    Has anyone used this Banks CAI?

    I used the K&N system, with a notable improvement. It tends to turn a few heads when I have had to goose the 3.6 down the road. Local cop at first thought it was someone in a high-performance Challenger or Charger. It has a deep-down whomp sound as it sucks in the air. I have been getting...

    Adding a 7-way connector to hook up to trailer brakes

    Okay, is that unit 2 door or 4 door? At 1500, you cross the threshold for some states mandating trailer brakes, so at 1600 with additional cargo, you will hit 2000 lbs. The 7-pin can be wired easily enough, but I would recommend a facility to do that as there is some finagling to do with the...

    First mods (of many to come 👍🏼)

    Very nice. Add some red accents to it, will make it stand out.

    Adding a 7-way connector to hook up to trailer brakes

    Out of curiosity what is the weight limit of the trailer? Also what is if any mods you have on it such as taller tires, any changes to the differentials or are they OEM?

    Umm... Hmmmm.... Make sure someone did not play submarine. Seen that a few times, other than that, better half will be hiding checkbook, credit cards, and bar you from making any online applications for vehicle improvements from those strange guys on the corner.

    Question about upgrading headlights to H4 bulbs

    Do be VERY, VERY, careful with the tool. You could turn the Wrangler into an expensive paperweight. The HALO will hook into the headlight wiring. There are a number of settings in the tool that are interesting, including setting the transmission to Tow/Haul for the duration of a tow for...

    I found photos of the factory heated seat buttons, and clearly the unit you have is an aftermarket install.

    Question about upgrading headlights to H4 bulbs

    As far as I am concerned LED's are the only way to go whether they are used for on-road or offroad. You will appreciate the difference also if you use LED Tail Lights too. Never really ever have to worry about burn-outs and with brighter outputs, you can just about be seen in the brightest...

    Best off-road CB radio

    I bought a Galaxy SSB off of eBay and it was modded for me. I am using Wilson 5000 antennas, (twin setup) with mounts I bought off eBay too. I bought a powder-coated overhead rack and mounted the radio to that. The specialized CB antenna mounts I bought also came off eBay. The antennas are...

    If not on the build sheet, then likely an aftermarket addon. You can buy a stock Jeep from the dealer then go hog wild with them, so much so that the original selling dealer would have no idea it was the Jeep they sold. There is so much aftermarket material available today, you can customize to...
