    Hard Top Buddy (or similar): who has one?

    The wife found a product called Hard Top Buddy on FB and I’m somewhat intrigued. The idea of being able to easily remove the top at a destination instead of before going there seems like a good plan. Anyone here use one, see one in use, or recommend other brands/options to check out? I’m...

    Replacement wire harness for injectors, oil sensor, etc.

    This is what I found as a possible root cause in the aforementioned video. Here’s our Jeep getting torn down. Here is the same connector on our oil pressure sensor with the same exposed conductors as in the video. I’m SO glad that I kept digging! BTW, these would be called “sending units”...

    Replacing ECU

    When purchasing a replacement ECU, they require the VIN to "program" it correctly. I assume this means to get all of the settings for things such as lights, door locks, etc. that may be different from another model. I gave them my VIN and confirmed it, then placed my order. "New" ECU arrived...

    Are spark plugs really $21/ea?

    I understand getting what you pay for, but over $120 for JUST plugs makes me want to file assault charges! Can anyone recommend a less offensive source?

    Lighting bolt and loss of power

    Can’t catch a break with this damned JKU. Wife was driving and the lightning bolt indicator started flashing and sudden loss of power. Thankfully she’s off the freeway. I’m done with this money pit.

    Axle-back exhaust

    Our 2015 already had a replacement axle-back muffler setup installed when we bought it. The quality of the exhaust isn't that great, and the workmanship from the installer is even less impressive; this may be the first time the guy ever touched a welder. Anyway, I have a leak at the inlet to...

    15 JKU stalled while driving, then code P0335

    Wife was out today and while entering the freeway, the Jeep stalled. She was able to get safely to the shoulder and it started up again w/o any visible/known cause. I suspected the recent fill up might be to blame, but I advised her to come straight home. Once home, the Jeep idled strangely...

    Flat fender turn signal & running light (check out this option)

    I see many posts about what to do for turn signals once the factory fenders are removed, and it seems that the options are somewhat limited due to space limitations and/or a suitable mounting position. While searching for some additional turn signal illumination for my Harley, I came across...

    What jump box are you using?

    I consider jumper cables and jump boxes to be “recovery gear”, so that’s why I’m asking here. What jump box (brand/size/etc) do you use?

    What options are you using to level the suspension (raise the front slightly)?

    The bigger tires (286/70-17 on 2022 JL rims) that I just installed are great, but they have made the ride height difference from front to back a bit more noticeable. Now I’m looking at options to level this thing out. This will also probably eliminate the minor rubbing issue at full lock. What’s...

    TPMS: new wheels and J-SCAN

    I've read all of the threads that I found using the search function and all seem to indicate that Mopar sensors made after 2013 are all the same frequency, so... The sensors in the 2022 JL wheels that I just installed SHOULD work in our 2015, but they have not been discovered after driving more...

    Could these be used as turn signal lights on flat fenders?

    I ran across these lights locally. I don’t really care for them along the rear of the top, but I wonder how they might work as turn signals on flat fenders…

    How often do you typically take the hard top off, or AITAH?

    AITAH here? I already know that I'm losing this battle, but I want to get feedback from others to ease my mind. Our '15 JKU has a factory hard top (now w/ a roof rack) and a Sunrider in place of the Freedom Panels. Wife wants me to take the top off so that she and 3 friends can drive to the...

    Wire routing for roof rack lights

    Other than drilling a hole and using a grommet, how else have you guys gotten power to the lights on your roof rack? I’m sure I’ll figure out a way that works for me, but I’d still like to see how others have done it.

    What’s up w/ the poor-fitting carpet in our JK?

    I realize that our JKU is no beauty queen or fashionista, but it became very clear during our road trip that the carpet is simply too damned small. The edges pull out from under the center console & almost every other piece of trim that is supposed to help keep it positioned. It’s almost as if...

    Trails in/around Zion - can anyone make recommendations?

    Wife & I are heading to Zion at the end of the month. We'll be camping at Watchman campground near Springdale. Aside from the hiking that we plan to do, we also want to get the Jeep off the beaten path. If anyone can make trail recommendations, or where NOT to bother, I'm all ears. I already...

    Chicago got Ducked!

    No rear A/C vents?

    It was just revealed to me yesterday that there are no AC vents in the rear seating area of our '15 JKU. Having only ever sat in the back seat for a minutes at a time, it never occurred to me until yesterday while driving in the heat w/ a passenger in the rear who was overheating. I'd consider...

    Positive customer service on my 10" Android upgrade

    Many already know that I upgraded to a 10" Android radio from Amazon last summer. The link to that thread is here: https://wranglerjkforum.net/threads/amazon-android-head-unit-is-installed.30331/ What folks don't know is that I have had a few issues since the installation. My connection is iOS...

    Will rear passenger floor mats from a JL fit in a JK?

    As the title asks, I am wondering if the contoured, Weather Tech-type floor mat from the rear passenger area of a 4-door JL will fit in our '15 JKU? I know most interior items are not swappable, but I literally cannot see a difference in these except that the WT version appears to extend under...
