    Adding switches to factory dash panel

    I had asked about that when my e-lockers were installed and the preference was to leave those factory dash panel spots alone. Mine was put on the A-Piller.

    Fire Safety

    I bought two of these and mounted them on the roll bars. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T2YHPGP/?tag=jkforum-20 They work very well. All you have to do is go to your local hardware store to get the extinguishers that you want.

    Back up camera options

    Love the Alpine X409 plenty of fun off-road POI's and has a built-in inclination system too. I have the Alpine subwoofer which gives the Bass some serious push. With any radio head with a nave unit, you will have to update yearly. My Alpine has been easy to update.

    Back up camera options

    The Alpine camera can come without the brake light. Though I have the X409 Alpine which has the Alpine Backup camera the camera should work with your system. I would contact Alpine directly for support to see what will work with that rig.

    What is this sensor in the front of the radiator?

    Aye, and do not disconnect for fun. It is used by the Engine Control Module (ECM) for fuel mixture among other things.

    Shaky Jeep

    Another issue is the rims, are they straight and true? When you have had the tires rebalanced twice and they still are wobbly then it is time to look at the rims. Take the rims to a specialty rim shop, not to a place that sells rims and tires. Google Rim repair and truing for you local and you...

    LED 3rd brake light wiring

    I have the third light brake that came with the Wrangler, and the wire follows the wiring point through a rubber type of gasket on the right side of the Jeep. The wiring route is similar for the Alpine Backup camera that I have, which is nice since that 35" spare obstructs the rear. It comes on...

    Genesis Off-Road Dual Battery System for JK

    I added a remote Jumper Cable connection on Sunday the 6th of September. I had ordered the optional accessory for the Wrangler to add to the Genesis system. The hardest part was threading that 15 Gauge cable to the central connection point of the Genesis Dual Battery system. The connection...

    Genesis Off-Road Dual Battery System for JK

    Hello Chris, From what I have read, the system can support up to a week of boondocking depending on the amount of power that is used. Of course, you would recharge the system at some point while running errands.

    Sorry been busy with crazy stuff going on, but I wanted to post an update on an upgrade I did to my 2018 Wrangler JK. This is a dual battery system designed for the JK and for those who have other vehicles like a Tacoma they also have a kit for it. It uses Odyssey Batteries with a rated...

    2009 JK drives erratic after putting on new tires

    Hey, Know the feeling about putting on new tires. I recently installed Toyo ATX III in 35" size on my 2018 Wrangler. It is important to align the rig with the new tires and do it at a show that specializes in big off-road tires for Jeeps and other vehicles. Some regular shops are not all too...

    What would be a reasonable maintenance schedule for my JK?

    The use of the vehicle, what it is used for is a key to longevity. Beat the bugger to death it has a very short life. I cringe whenever I see idiots beating up any kind of car. Knuckleheads burning tires on Chargers and Challengers. they have to hold the brakes. The rear brakes will be toast...

    My 2018 Wrangler JK Unlimited Sport for Camping Trailer Tow

    I took the black bags off for the test drive. I have good visibility. Because the bike tires are visible I can quickly judge the distance to vehicles ahead.

    My 2018 Wrangler JK Unlimited Sport for Camping Trailer Tow

    Finally, I got the chance to do a test mount and run with the bike mounted on the FRONT of the Wrangler. I did have to shift it to the left a bit, to even up the bike epicenter. The view from the driver seat gives you an idea of how it is configured. In the driver view, the trailer I tow is on...

    My 2018 Wrangler JK Unlimited Sport for Camping Trailer Tow

    They look like likes you can buy out of an auto store. I ordered the splitter pigtails to tie into the turn signal Really all I have to do now is drill the holes into the steel fenders to mount them. They sell big rig fender LED lights that will work. I do need to have the side blinking LEDs so...

    My 2018 Wrangler JK Unlimited Sport for Camping Trailer Tow

    I looked for a similar style with the incorporated receiver hitch but none were found and there was no way to modify the old one, not that I would because of the improper installation. I noticed on your Jeep photo the turn signal mounts on the fenders. Did you add those?

    My 2018 Wrangler JK Unlimited Sport for Camping Trailer Tow

    Finally, I was able to get the new bumper installed. The before and after photos tell the difference. Some notes: Installed a new 200 AMP service alternator. Reused the lights off the old bumper. In addition, a KC floodlight is located at the winch. Two Rigid Spots at the A-Pillers. The...
