I got everything installed over the weekend. I didn't test for voltages at the wires, but I am guessing there wouldn't be anything because the switches aren't lighting up at all when I push them. I am hoping this is because I need to have the uConnect system reflashed at the dealership. Not sure...
I haven't completely wired up the switches yet. I still have to route the harness behind the glove box and into the center console. I'll test them when I get to that point, but I don't expect the switches to work until I have the dealership reflash the uConnect system so the switch configuration...
Crimp pins I linked to are 0.1" (2.54mm).
Question for you: in addition to the ESS warning, does your display behind the steering wheel go to 'Vehicle Info' instead of whatever it was on before (e.g. Speedometer, Audio, Offroad, etc.) Even though I am not getting the ESS warning anymore, my...
Not sure what kind of pins they are for sure. They are pretty similar to something like this https://www.pololu.com/product/1930 (F) and this https://www.pololu.com/product/1931 (M), but I think the pitch is probably bigger than 0.1". Anyway, you might be able to get away with not matching the...
I don't know exactly what the wires do, but my guess is that the orange wire has to do with interfacing with the uConnect system. ( I wish they would provide a schematic or wiring diagram! )
I had been hung up on step 21 because I was having trouble removing the wire from the connector...
Here you go. I haven't done the install yet, but I've gone over the instructions a few times and identified most of the places in the Jeep where things are and what to do. I don't think there is anything too difficult. One thing to note, I think the instructions omit one step somewhere before...
Can someone tell me what step 2 is showing me in these instructions for the Mopar switch bank kit? I can't figure out which piece of trim that is. Thanks.
Cool. I think you maybe just saved me a couple hundred bucks before I bought the Mopar tailgate table. If I build something like yours, I might use the hole saw to cut some cup holders.
I thought I read somewhere that the max load is around 160 lbs distributed evenly or whatever the hard top can handle by itself. How heavy is your camping gear? I had no issues with my fully loaded, hardshell ski carrier, but that wouldn't have been more than forty or fifty pounds. That so, I'd...
I put mine on today. I did a five minute test drive around the neighborhood and a brief stretch on the highway with no noticeable creaking or noise, even though the slider does come slightly into contact with the frame. And as far as a step, I got the a-okay from my five year old because she...
How much did you need to file down? Are we talking by hand or with an angle grinder? Do you think I should do this preemptively before installing, or put them on to see if there's an issue first?
I ordered mine from Northridge on 2/22. On 2/24 I got an email with invoice. On the invoice it says "Drop shipped from manufacturer." I think that means that they just send the order over to ACE and they fulfill it when they are ready to go. I think on the ACE website (or maybe someone posted...
I saw that yesterday. I'm considering putting them in my Sport S. I think I can do it myself if the instructions are good, but if they are just a few line drawings like IKEA furniture I might be better having them do it at the dealership. I'm going to try to give them a call today to get a...
Looks nice. I ordered my ACE sliders from Northridge4x4 the other day; I hope they come soon. I am a little worried about my younger kids getting their feet stuck in these. If that proves to be an issue, I am thinking of attaching some plates over the tubes to form more of a step. My question...
As I mentioned in another comment, the rack kit does not come with locking mechanisms; you can remove the cover with a screwdriver. I tried to put in some Thule lock cylinders...no luck. I returned the Thules and exchanged them for some Yakima SKS locks, those do the trick. So yes, you can lock...
Granite grille with the black (maybe dark, dark gray?) mesh. If by inserts you mean the silver inserts that go line the perimeter of the openings in the grille, I don't have any inserts. I'm not sure that's a stock option on the Sport S.
I just confirmed that the Thule lock cylinders unfortunately do not work in the Mopar roof rack. It's close, but the orientation of Thule cylinders is not quite right. It does look like it's designed so that you can drop a lock cylinder in...just gotta find one that works. Time to return the...
Here are some pics of the inside of the grill and the mesh inserts. Took about 10 minutes to pop off the grill and remove one of the mesh panels. For the panels, you just need to remove some T15 screws and pop out some plastic clips. I am planning on painting the inserts a lighter grey or...
