    Broken alternator plug retaining clip

    Yeah I've got tape on there for now, but switching to zip ties and clamping it down is likely the move. Thanks!

    Broken alternator plug retaining clip

    Hey all, On my 2017 JK there's a 2 pin connector for the alternator, and I managed to snap off the clip on the alternator itself. I've found plenty of advice on replacing the 2 pin pigtail, but nothing on what to do with this problem short of replacing the alternator. Stock photo below. The...

    Help identifiying steering rattle

    I have a 2017 JKU with 75K miles, and recently I'm getting a rattling sound while turning. You can hear the sound stop/start as I turn and release the wheel. If turn and hold it stationary with light pressure (just my thumb), I'll occasionally feel a very slight push/jerk on the wheel in the...

    JK alternator headroom at idle

    Thanks for the response. I'd heard of high idle kits, but don't know much about swapping pullies. I'll check into it. The charger will be in the engine bay, with the house battery in the rear. I think it should be straightforward to wire up, and I'll ensure the gauge matches the amperage and...

    JK alternator headroom at idle

    Hello all - I'm hoping to build out a battery box for camping, and I'm stuck on selecting a charger. I've picked up a 12V 165A LFP and plan to pair it with a DC-DC charger, charging it as quickly as possible to allow for multiday trips with limited solar. Pulling more power from the alternator...

    What happened to my oil filter housing cap?

    I'm changing the oil in my 2017 JK, and noticed a black plastic piece lodged sideways at the bottom of the oil filter. Based on pictures I'm seeing online, this may have come from the oil filter housing cap. Wondering how this might have happened, whether I can buy a new housing and move on...

    Always on heated seats?

    I've read that the JLs have the feature, figured the load wouldn't be too big of an issue. I did find a walkthrough just now, but it's about 10x more complex than I was hoping for: https://www.wranglerforum.com/threads/jeep-jk-heated-seats-on-with-remote-start-done.2179169/

    Always on heated seats?

    I'm in the north and make good use of the heated seats in my JK. I'd like to find a way to have them "remember" the last setting rather than turning them on after each start. This would also mean they'd be on when I occasionally use remote start and I could avoid freezing my ass off in -20F...

    275/265 70R18 under $200?

    Quick update on Falken Rubitrek AT 265/70R18 116T (5 tires @ $955.35 + tax) when compared to stock Bridgestone Dueler AT 255/70R18 112S. Comfort: ride is better on the Falkens, more forgiving when driving over bumps/potholes. This is with both sets of tires @ around 40PSI, but after reading up...

    275/265 70R18 under $200?

    Thanks all! The KO2 and Wildpeak options that fit my wheels look great but are north of $300, and I I've been tracking Facebook marketplace for take-offs but haven't seen much for deals in my area. I'm going to skip over the Bridgestone Dueler AT (E load) that I referenced - reading up on the...

    275/265 70R18 under $200?

    I've got a JKU with 18" stock rims and a set of Bridgestone Dueler AT (255/70R18). It's time to get them replaced, and I'd like to upgrade on size/performance without hitting $300/tire or buying new wheels. I'm in the midwest - these tires will see a lot of snow and some light offroading...
