Traded in my 99 TJ 2.5l no AC for this BUILT 14 JKU Sport. From what I have explored into this far, it has a D44 up front (re-geared with some other mods on that axle too), an e-locker (figuring out where the button is lol), AC, remote start, bumpers and rock sliders, aftermarket head unit. Absolutely love this thing already and such a better daily than my previous two TJs!
The D44 would imply that it's a Rubicon. So the locker button and sway bar release are at the bottom of the dash to the left of the steering column.

The VIN runs as a Sport. It’s a Spicer D44 up front. No buttons there and has the Currie Antirock Sway bar up front. These are the only two buttons I can’t figure out are used for yet.
Nice looking Jeep! Welcome! That rocker on your A-Pillar might be for your lights on the A-Pillars?

Thank you!
A Pillar lights run on a switch at the front of the center console. There’s another one (both blue lights) that doesn’t seem to turn on anything but I would assume run the lights on the bumper and just got disconnected somewhere!
I believe the other button is below the steering wheel? If so it most likely is an aftermarket alarm system which I believe is usually installed by dealers. Unless you paid for some sort of alarm system with the purchase it most likely is inactive. It’s probably still tied into the ignition wiring.

That’s what I was figuring. It’s the dealer installed alarm system most likely!
Finally got around to replacing my broken mirror today. I couldn't take the cracked everywhere mirror anymore.

Based on the part # on the Spicer Front D44 it does have an E-Locker and is at 4.88 gears. I know that may be slightly under geared for 37s but WAY better than the 2.5l on 33s and regeared I had previously ha
Nice Rig ! Really like the look of the fast back hard tops .
Is it a Dv 8 hard top .
Judging by the additions looks like whomever built it did so with some thought .
There are so many Frankenstein builds around . Guys just wanting to add 37”
and not upgrading important components so the thing holds together on the trail.
Nice find & Welcome to the forum .

Thank you!
It’s a Patriot Fastback actually! My 99 TJ was a bit of a Frankenstein build that I had to kind of re-piece together, the PO definitely liked looks over function. This is definitely very well put together and thought out.

Thank you! Excited to have AC and be able to actually go on a decent road trip now to go wheeling.
I remember when my buddy had a TJ. He told me he had that new 360 AC in it. I looked at him weird. Then he opened 3 windows and we did 60.
I changed the thermostat in Mrs. Dogs JKUR today. I burped it correctly, but I didn't use an OEM thermostat. I know that's blasphemous to some, but I don't mind living dangerously.
When I went threw 3 stats fig out some heat issues . One of the duds was OEM .
So you made the right move buying aftermarket .
Chrysler/Jeep probably doesn’t even make the thermostats . Farms it out to whomever to get then made .
