    Additional spout with valve is a great idea for a water station . Briefly checked out the Rebel Offroad window delete . It doesn’t look like it fits the 07-11 . Does anyone know if Jeep changed the removable top or window sizing from 07-11 to the 12-18 years ?

    Overheating on 2015 JKU

    Everything @BLACKJKU has mentioned is spot on . Just went threw this with my 2008 Sahara . It went on for awhile . When engine pushed on the hwy it would start to fill up reservoir.
