    2017 Clock Spring

    Went out to start my 2017 JKU and the headlights came on and the wipers started. Both switches were in the off position. Doing a bit of research it sounds like a clock spring issue. Looked on line and I found there is a recall for up through 2016. I checked the NTSA website and my Jeep...

    Cooling Fan 1 Control Circuit Malfunction Code?

    Have a 2017 JKU with about 40k miles. The temperature gauge started going up higher that usual and the CEL came on. I pulled over, turned the Jeep off and ran the heater for about 15 minutes and the temperature gauge went back to the normal range. I was able to drive with no issues. I...

    Soft Top or Not?

    Due to the weather we've only had the freedom panels off a couple times so far. Still looking around for a good used top locally.

    STICKY Jeep Wrangler JK LED Headlight Upgrade Options

    From someone that is old, GE was probably the main sealed beam supplier in the 1970's and 80's. I remember getting a ticket for a light burnt out in the middle of winter. The city would tear up the ticket if you took the car to the police station within a week and show them you fixed it. Had...

    Thanks for the add from central IL

    Thanks, that's just 100 miles worth of Interstate slush.

    Unfortunate JKU of the week

    Looks like it's on a dealer's lot. Maybe just to grab attention. Never have seen with the color to the right either.

    Soft Top or Not?

    My CEO (who also has title of wife) would be okay with a fastback or traditional so more options to explore :)

    Soft Top or Not?

    I have been looking at some Bestop options, will have to check that one. I agree, full faith in the group but for something that big/expensive if I'm going to buy used I want to see it in person.

    Dozer Yellow Powder Coat

    My son manages a shop that does powercoating for about 60 dealerships as well as private customers. They can do any color you want.

    Soft Top or Not?

    Do you have any idea what type of soft top you're going to get? I saw a couple barely used factory tops for $800 in my area about a month before we got the Jeep.

    Have been asking some questions but just had this 2017 Willys edition delivered. Pure stock 1 owner 39k miles FCA Certified Pre-Owned. Have found some excellent information on this forum already. Lots of helpful people.

    Soft Top or Not?

    Interesting. As a new owner think I will hold off a bit on buying the soft top and see how the removal/reinstall process works. I'll be able to garage the Jeep so think that will help.

    Thanks for the insight on the quick release thumb bolts. Does look easier.

    Certified Pre-Owned Documentation

    Answered my own question. I registered on the MOPAR site, it asks for VIN and mine showed as having the CPO warranty.

    Certified Pre-Owned Documentation

    I will be picking up a 2017 JKU that was advertised and described to me by the dealer as Chrysler Certified Pre-Owned. As we were going though the "official" paperwork I asked if I was supposed to get any paperwork regarding the certification. The salesman said it get's entered in FCA's...

    Soft Top or Not?

    I hear you (no pun intended) on the tinnitus. Too much farm and road construction work during HS and college summers and concerts, loud stereos and bars during college. I usually wear ear plugs when I drive very far with the windows and sunroof open on our SUVs. Thanks for the tip on keeping...

    Soft Top or Not?

    The car in the picture isn't mine, don't have a good picture of mine uploaded, but it was a 1979 and looked like that. Had the pathetic 301 4.9L engine, non=turbo (turbo didn't come out until 1980).
