Mine died at 65 MPH in the fast lane, on a Phoenix freeway. Good thing for me I carry extra gas. I look but don't understand anything under the hood and I have gray hair and am decades past points and plugs, so I have the guy with the $5,000 tool plug it in so the Jeep will tell him what's wrong.

My 2012 Rubicon disconnects stuff at the touch of a button. Ha ha. I cannot see a logical reason to disable the ABS, that prevents locking-up the brakes, that has saved my ass a few times, on and off road. Oh, Traction Control, goes off in 4X4 which I always use off road.

The real dashboard questions are: 1. How do you dim the damn high-beam light. 2. How can I turn off all the lights for when I'm on lonely roads or in the bush.

The Road Chose Me. in one of his videos Dan Grec talks about daytime lights, some countries prohibit them, and what to do. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffnt&q=the+road+chose+me&atb=v198-1&iax=videos&ia=videos

Unlike every Pentastar on earth, my 2012 Wrangler uses 30 weight oil. So I use the oil that took my Dodge Dakota 623,000 miles. https://www.amsoil.com/p/signature-series-0w-30-synthetic-motor-oil-azo/

I had to check a fuse. It was hot as hell and I had to use tools. Maybe Jeep engineers built the engine cooling with highway cruising in mind. Anyway, once I get past my cheapness, hood vents.

Cloth insulates nothing, unless it is a VW, BMW, Mercedes, etc., so if it's cold your left hand, right side and feet might be warm but people in the back .... The major difference between off-roading with a soft top and commuting up to 300 miles as I do exploring Arizona is dirt, noise, drafts...

I met him near Crown King, Arizona the day prior to Valentines Day, 2021. Said he bought the 2017 used, ripped out the interior and upgraded it with Rubicon stuff, threw away the soft top and soft doors and had a bunch more done with $14,000 in upgrades. Next is the suspension. We chatted a...

My 2012 JK Rubicon came with a built in inverter and it is useless for anything beyond charging a phone that will charge if the adapter is plugged into the power outputs or the USB port which makes me wonder what use it is. To me useless means it wont run my coffee grinder or Mr.Coffee. I...

Tinnitus Tinnitus is the perception of sound when no corresponding external sound is present. Nearly everyone will experience a faint "normal tinnitus" in a completely quiet room but it is only of concern if it is bothersome or interferes with normal hearing or correlated with other problems...

Fix it. Catalytic Converters are expensive and one problem just leads to another.

Something else to think about: I slipped into a snow covered pond. The ABS, Anti-Skid and Cruise Control stopped working along with the appropriate dash light show. Being lazy I ignored cleaning anything which was good as the wheel sensor is enclosed anyway. Now, a couple weeks later everything...

Most of Arizona is truly dark so I dim the screen to the minimum to get the dash lighting close to as low as I like it, especially when there is little to no traffic. Then the next day I must guess where things are because the screen is almost black. Mine is the factory Garmin the Rubicon comes...

According to the Workshop Manual our 1960's Series II 88 model Land Rover engines were identical. One had a valve tick that no amount of lash adjustment could remove so eventually I gave up and let the otherwise almost silent engine do it's thing. My 2012 JK has tappet noise on start-up but I...

Ever think you were descending when your GPS showed you were actually ascending? The Butt-Dynamometer is just not accurate. So I read the literature, saw that their own dynamometer showed that their cat-back, muffler and 'intake' worked! and I installed them. In spite of the fact that their own...

My experience: All Cat-Back systems work. Better power. No Cat-Back system works at the speed (RPM) at which you drive. Breathing is important. Watch the Gale Banks Video on YouTube. But remember the cost/benefit of any changes you make. That stuff will make no difference when you are stuck...
