Going into day 4 of having my Jeep in the dealership...Service shifter error kept popping up. Dealership ordered a part that took 3 weeks to come in. Quick install for them on Friday but error came back Friday afternoon. Luckily I have a loner Wrangler, but it doesn’t have all the extras I paid for on mine. Anyone else have this service shifter error? Apparently it is common on Cherokees, but this was the first they saw it on a JL. This sucks because I don’t even have 5k miles on it yet.

Love the longer bolt and the spacer for your led adaptor bracket. Where did you get them? Thanks
The bolts I just had lying around, they are a metric thread (about 50mm long), and the spacers are from flat screen TV mount kits. I never seem to be able to throw anything away so I end up with bits and pieces all over the place. You should be able to use some pipe, plastic or metal, that fits over the bolts, you be careful not to over tighten and crush the spacers.

What extensions are you running?
I went with rubicon express.

Reason being I normally have rear bolt on artec control arm skids and they are a tight fit so I wanted a bracket underneath to protect the shock bracket.

Teraflex design looks really nice,

Went to the dealership this morning for oil change, tire rotation, and LED flash.

The LED flash looks to have worked. Low/high beams work together now and fogs are not blinking.

I'm kicking myself because I forgot to remind them about the 5L vs 6L of oil. The receipt says they put 6 in. Do I need do anything or will it be ok until next change?

My first oil change same thing happened. I checked the level with the dipstick and it was right where it should be, though others have had different experience. If I had found that it was overfilled I was completely ready to go back and have them deal with it.

Check it! If too full, then take it back for them to fix.

Installed the Rough Country Front/Rear seat covers for $160ish shipped.

Very tight fit, made of wet suit materials.

Install was probably much easier as I always keep my doors off and Jeep in the garage. Not sure how it would have been with the doors on though.

Great option for seat protection on a budget in my opinion.

Thanks man! Yeah I was looking at all the option and thought I’ll just go cheap as most options are $400-$500... I found these for $160 and they feel like they’ll last a lifetime haha. They aren’t fancy but neither is my rig so whatever lol

I still spent big money though because I used the money I “saved” and bought the front/rear Rugged Ridge Tube Doors w/mirrors. Had I purchased a $500 dollar set of seat covers AND the RR tube doors my wife would have killed me, so it’s a win/win lolol
