    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...

    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?

    Bought or first Jeep, 2017 Willys JKU with the factory hardtop/freedom panels. When we were looking I was thinking, well have to get a soft top too. As I think about how we will use it, I'm wondering if we need it. Of course can do with out for a while and get one later, just curious what...

    How often do you rotate your tires and do you use all 5 tires in the rotation?

    I bought a 2017 JKU Willys, out first Wrangler, and it will be delivered this week. When I went to look at it I had to wait a bit as they were in the process of putting 5 new BF Goodrich OEM tires on it. The sales manager explained since it was a Chrysler Certified Vehicle the tires had to...

    Tire Size, Lift, and Highway Driving Manners

    I'm looking to by a JK Unlimited. At this point it will not be used for any serious off-roading and will be our open air "fun" vehicle. Part of the fun would be taking it on vacations possibly up to 1000 miles one way. I looked at a nice 2017 manual Sahara with 35 in tires and a 3 inch lift...

    Prodigy Performance Turbo (150 horsepower)

    I'm looking at JKs and a 2012 Rubicon (45k mile) with a Prodigy Performance Turbo (150 horsepower) pops up for sale by owner on Facebook Marketplace. The ad claims the Jeep has never been off-road and the turbo was installed by a local shop that gets good reviews. Is this something to...

    What's the deal with JKs from Canada?

    We've been looking around for an Unlimited JK. We live in central IL and as I look at Carfaxes from dealers within 200 miles of me it seems like a disproportionate portion of the Jeeps that were auctioned at one point started out in Canada. Any reason for this? Other than obviously more...

    Looking at buying a Wrangler Unlimited for a fun vehicle

    New member, thanks for the add. Looking at buying first Jeep, a used Unlimited as a "fun" vehicle where you could put the top down on nice days, maybe some very mild off-roading (nothing I would modify from stock at this point). We had one for a rental in Hawaii for a week and loved it. It...
