    Turning off the center console USB port

    The above is certainly true 'on paper'. I can't imagine anyone leaving their phone (or other USB powered device) plugged into the car battery for more than a few days max. It would take MANY, MANY charge cycles of a phone to drain a good car battery, which means it would have to remain connected...

    2017 Jeep Wrangler Sahara cylinder 5 misfire

    First, I'll start by saying that while my efforts (and results) might suggest that I possess unique or expert knowledge on the subject, I'll admit to just being mechanically inclined and determined not to spend needlessly for a professional tech to do the same things that I can accomplish myself...

    Turning off the center console USB port

    I read somewhere - but of course cannot find evidence of it now - that the center console USB will shut off after a period of time, like 30 or 60 minutes after the ignition is turned off. That being said, even if it isn't correct, there's absolutely ZERO chance that leaving a cell phone plugged...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Turned 162,000 miles today and celebrated with a 5-tire rotation, then an oil change, front & rear diff service, along with a transmission flush.

    JK going into worse than limp mode

    I’m betting on a wire harness issue similar to what I had to fix on our 2015. Wires at the oil pressure sensor were poorly insulated from the heat & it eventually turned the wire insulation to dust, exposing the conductors to short out at will. It happened randomly & regularly. I also found...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    I'd worry about that right before the warranty ends.

    Spare Tire Delete (Convince Me)

    JKs look like a mail truck w/o the spare. I'm just sayin'

    You can't even see the fenders flairs from the comfort of that leather drivers' seat... ;)

    That looks like one hell of a place to walk home from!

    XL Heavy-duty Tailgate table. No drilling!🔥

    I understand the desire to have such a table, but if you put that much work and effort into fixing the one you bought, then you're a damned fool for that too! ;) BTW, I own 2 Wranglers, so I'm also a damned fool, but at least I didn't spend all that time and money buying and modifying a box...

    Roof rack on a soft top?

    As I have now stated for the 3rd time.... There was NO FRAME ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE SOFT TOP. THAT is what blew my mind.

    Roof rack on a soft top?

    It really doesn't surprise me that someone may have punched holes through their soft top for a roof rack... as we have seen some pretty outrageous examples of folks attempting to customize their ride on this site.

    Roof rack on a soft top?

    That is 100% NOT what the vehicle I saw had going on.

    Roof rack on a soft top?

    Exactly my thought. What kind of break-away, velcro seams are on that thing? It's gotta be like stripper pants! :ROFLMAO:

    Roof rack on a soft top?

    I wish I had been able to get a photo to show that I'm not crazy, but yesterday I saw a JKU with a soft top AND a roof rack. No, it didn't have a frame on the outside of the top, the rack appeared to be bolted through the soft top. Is this even a thing, or has the owner possibly put holes in...

    XL Heavy-duty Tailgate table. No drilling!🔥

    If you haven't disputed the charges with your CC then you are a damned fool.

    Spare Tire Delete (Convince Me)

    I drive both of our Wranglers in the same manner as you, mostly around town w/ the occasional off-road trip that many here would call easy. I put a camera on our 2015 because of the limited visibility and a really tight garage. Both have full-sized, matching spares that I rotate in with the...

    Pod Light Brackets?

    If you replace the thumb screws with bolts, these will be plenty strong. The knobs aren't quite big enough to get a good grip on them
