  1. Educate me: leather seats

    Leather seat lovers....I'm not in your camp but I completely respect your decision to get and otherwise love them. What was it about them that your found appeal with? Is it that they feel softer, look nicer, are snazzier, etc.? I'm not hear to judge you for getting things simply because/if...
  2. Product Idea: any interest?

    Assuming I could safely do it, do you think that a device that allowed the Freedom Panels to be flipped back on to the back of the hard top when opened, or maybe angle from the door line to the center of the JL (like the doors on a DeLorean...
  3. Energizing Large Load Electrical Accessory when Engine On

    Short of buying the Aux wiring kit, say you just want to energize, for example, a front winch, but only when the ignition is on. Hooking up fused cables directly from the winch to the battery will allow the winch to operate at all times. I just want it to be able to work when the rig is on...
  4. Update: Bestop Retractable Sunshade

    @BestopTeam Cassie was suppose to be in a meeting on 6/3 regarding if/when the retractable sunshade for the JL was a go, and if so when. Has anyone heard any news? Thanks.
  5. Aux Switch Questions

    1) On a 3.6L JL, do the items connected to the MOPAR Aux switches, if energized, remain so during an ESS event? 2) If so, do they run off of the Aux/ESS battery on the 3.6L JL or the main battery during an ESS event? (I realize the question moot during non-ESS operation of a 3.6L JL as the...
  6. Locksmiths that cut JL keys

    Maybe this has been done. If so, apologies and references to that link please. People report finding a locksmith (dealers notwithstanding) that cuts JL keys to be, at times, hard to find. Know one, please add it. I'll start. Liberty Locksmiths 117 Liberty St Liberty, NY 12550 845-562-1919...
  7. Quick Bulletin Board Tips

    This board and the Gladiator one are run using the Xenforo software. It's no secret....it says so at the bottom of the page. : - ) Here's an interesting link of some Xenforo text features that go beyond some of the ones above, like strike-out. ..nothing that changes anything but the way...
  8. MOPAR Hood Lock 82215137

    @JeepCares Please look into why this product hasn't made its way to market yet, aside from the Chinese knockoffs that have emerged and steal revenue from you and Bolt, Inc. and let us know. Thanks. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=jl+wrangler+hood+lock+&_sacat=0&_sop=16 In...
  9. JL 4 door hard top front to back balance point

    I'm designing a hitch based hard top lift..or at least I'm trying to. Clearly, the answer to the following question is one I'm going to have to precisely find out for myself, but I was wondering if anyone has a starting point for me. Where would you say the balance point of the 4 door hard top...
  10. JL Hoodlock OEM Key Knockoffs

    @JeepCares I don't like buying things that interfere with the ability for companies like Bolt and MOPAR to make money with their intellectual property. The legality for me is questionable, the morality, assuming fair profit isn't flowing back to either of these entities isn't: it's wrong...
  11. Mopar 82215711 Wheel Locks & Oil Change

    What are people's opinion on the following situation. I own and have installed this: https://www.quadratec.com/p/mopar/wheel-locks-wrangler-jl i.e. I've got one on every tire, including the spare, and will be the first to admit that at best, all they do is slow down thieves set on taking a...
  12. Help w/ Identifying a Piece and Putting it Back

    Hi. I opened the tailgate to my Sahara JL and this dropped on the ground. Does anyone have thoughts on what it is and where it goes back? Thanks.
  13. Bestop Sunrider Noise Abatement

    I'm a happy owner of their Diamond Twill product for a Sahara JLU (i.e. 4 door). Moreover, I bought the product with open eyes that its benefits would more than outweigh the fact that it would likely be noisier at highway speeds than the Freedom Panels it replaces: not that the difference in...
  14. Fast 3.6L JL Jump Starts with Power Packs?

    Earlier today I tried--at least the best I could--to explain the nature of why jump starts on the 3.6L are the way they are, and particularly what happens when: We wait on the donor vehicle's battery (not really) and why, and Why possibly, portable and fully charged self contained charging...
  15. The genesis of the JL Genesis Dual Battery

    ( @Genesis Offroad ) I've been wondering if Shane Smith is getting the credit he deserves for his work. I don't work with him in any way. He didn't ask me to write this. I didn't tell him I was. He didn't tell me what to say. I don't own or profit from the sale of his products. And I say...
  16. Why 3.6L Jumpstarts are the way that they are

    4/26/19 Since writing this thread, @Jebiruph has done some testing that suggests the changes below, written in this color. Plenty of excellent threads have been written about how to jumpstart the 3.6L JL. How things get hooked up, in terms of what cables to place where, and in what order are...
  17. FJ3 Freedom Jack 3 top hoist

    No. Toyota isn't coming out with--at least than I know of--a new version of their FJ: much that I think the competition might lower Wrangler prices. Instead, I've been allowed to show you pictures of the new Freedom Jack, or FJ3. I do not own this or profit from its sales. Use whatever...
  18. ...2020 PHEV: but is it "worth it"

    My biases: I am green leaning. And even I question whether this is good news: I'm excited about the 2020 Wrangler PHEV (plug in hybrid electric vehicle). But I'd be more excited if I had solar panels that charged it at no additional cost. I'm dying to see at what price point FCA offers this...
  19. Input on Emergency Top Design

    Say I were to build an emergency top for drivers (as oppose just to parkers with emergency tops that can't be seen thru) who find their topless JLs in bad weather. I'm talking about the type of top that would allow you, while driving, to quickly pull over to the side of the road, and deploy a...
  20. Oil Change Interval / Frequency Question

    How often would you guys recommend the oil be changed (an amount of time please) for drivers who put few miles on per year?
