So this essentially means everything around it all got wet, correct? I wouldn't rule out a wire harness issue, however, my guess would be that you have some corrosion on the head unit circuit board. It's tripping a circuit and shutting off and then resets when you remove power.

Agree. I added a spacer to the front to level out my 2dr. No issues since.

Look forward to digesting those details as you make updates!

Well stated. The other factor is the timing from the seller. If there is no urgency to sell you can price it higher and wait for the "right" buyer.

So when it restarts in Park it stays running but the trans doesn't shift to drive? Just want to ensure I'm understanding this correctly. The problem sounds electrical to me. Possibly a faulty transmission range sensor (or whatever it's called - neutral safety switch, etc)? This is what...

I bet!!!

Which one was the culprit?

Welcome. Interested to see the results!

If he already has some performance parts you should be making more than that. The crate motor specs as-is are 383/417

Most of the time I feel like the trans is the only part of the JL I really envy. Then, of course, like any sane motorhead, I start going down the rabbit hole. I can swap in an 8spd, but if I do that I might as well do an engine swap, and that might as well be a 5.7. Then I should upgrade...

Or an internal leak path somewhere that's bleeding off pressure. Bearing, crack, bad device (tensioner, hla, etc).

Man I love those rubber wheels! Long ago I had to remove decals from a cargo van I purchased. That made quick work of it. I've found numerous uses for it since that time. Just not on any softer plastic unless you have a really soft touch!

Agree with this. "Kit" is a good way to put it. Short story is that you need more than just the winch. If you're looking to save a buck you may consider a Harbor Freight Badlands. Imo probably no better or worse than most of what's out there, but I've found their customer...

Congrats!

Welcome. Looks like a nice ride at a decent price considering it's from a dealer. Just throwing out an idea for you. When I bought mine I negotiated with the selling dealer to have both compression and leak down test completed as a part of the sale contingency. The 3.6 has several...

Here's how mine looks (2016) as I received it. I've never taken the vertical or top covers off but obviously they're removable for winch installation.

Nice job. Each subsequent repair will continue to build your confidence!

I have the essentially the same fabric on my truck tonneau. When I first got it I thought it would be harder to maintain but it's the opposite. It really releases dirt easily. When I first put the soft top on I power washed it (water only, no soap) and it looks like new.

After performing my "test" this Summer with a well used, standard fabric soft top, I upgraded. I scored a lightly used factory black twill top for $200. I had to drive to get it, probably burning $100 in gas, but it was worth it. The twill doesn't look much different in pics but in person...

This has been my strategy as well with a decent rattle can paint. It works remarkably well, imo, and doesn't come with the issues of other coatings.
