  1. How accurate is your GPS navigation?

    Generally, the GOTO function seems to be fairly accurate. However, the actual location can be quite a distance off. For example, I input my doctor's office. The NAV function was correct for each turn, etc. but the NAV location was displayed about 1/2 mile from its actual position. The address...
  2. How to activate heavy duty trailer wiring

    My JL Rubi came with the heavy duty trailer wiring. Combo 4 conductor outlet and 7 conductor outlet. The outlets don't have power! I have 4 and 7 conductor testers and neither register any power. The user manual simply assumes that there is power being fed to the rear...it is not! The factory...
  3. How to connect JL RR BackBone to Pioneer Plaform?

    I assembled the RR Back Bone RJLB1 and Pioneer Platform 42108BF, the package also included 6 RCL Legs. I had assumed that the legs would fit three of the Back Bone cross bars. But the Back Bone cross bar spacings are different from the leg spacings! RR sent me a one page fitting chart, which...
  4. Sirus-GPS Antenna connection?

    Is there a connection plug for the Sirus-GPS antenna somewhere near the roll bar or A-pillars? Or does the antenna harness wiring extend unspliced all the way to the UConnect unit?
  5. What happened to Roof-Top Sticky?

    As the countdown for the Rhino-Rack continues...the Roof Top Sticky vanishes.
  6. GPS Reset today (6 April)

    American GPS system runs on a calendar system. It originally was/is a 10 bit weekly counter which would be accurate for about 20 years. April 6 is the reset date. Supposedly most GPS units younger than 10 years old should work fine. But older units (handhelds?) may not reset correctly. This...
  7. Poor design for tool kit...

    For the first time, I attempted to lower the windshield. I carefully removed the plastic caps on the windshield wipers. I took out the Jeep Toolkit and put the 15mm socket on the small rachet wrench. Set the rachet to CCW. Put it on the nut and the shaft of the socket snapped right off! To...
  8. How to relocate SirusXM/GPS antenna?

    I am waiting for a roof rack that probably will extend over the SirusXm/GPS antenna: 1) Can the antenna be removed without having to lift off the hardtop? If so, have you actually done it...instructions? 2) Is the driver's A-pillar the relocation spot? Where can I purchase a relocation...
  9. Voltage Display on ORP?

    Is the voltage display shown on the ORP for both batteries or just the Main or just the ESS battery?
  10. Rain Gutter construction?

    I plan on using a roof carrier. The legs will clamp onto the Freedom top gutters. What are the gutters made of? Are they made of the same plastic as the top or metal? I am worried about material fatigue as the Jeep bounces up and down and the legs press on the gutters.
  11. ADAS camera with UConnect 8.4?

    I have a 2018 JLUR with the 8.4 UConnect screen. The 2019 JL has optical collision warning. There are dash cams that include ADAS advanced driving alarm systems. Some include LDWS, lane departure, FCWS, forward collision warning. They broadcast the warnings via WiFi. ADAS uses Android apps. Can...
  12. Which to install first: lift or skid plates?

    I have a stock Rubicon and limited budget. Which should I install first: a 2+ inch lift with 35 inch (typing error: 35 not 25 inch) tires or a full under body skid plate system? A lift would give more clearance but would not protect the suspension. Skid plates would protect but the under body...
  13. Full Underbody Skid Plate vs winter salt corrosion?

    I would like to install full under body skid plates. However, I live in a state where the roads are generally salted for almost half the year. On my previous vehicles, I would frequently take them to a car wash that has under body sprayers. None of them had more than a trace of frame or panel...
  14. Off Road Pages in 2019 UConnect?

    If you own a 2019 with 8.4 UConnect...was the ORP on screen when you bought it? If so, has it remained available? It took four months before my 2018 got the ORP display, after 4 weeks of Jeep Cares contacting their IT people multiple times. Then the ORP only stayed for three days. Now Jeep...
  15. Rhino Back-Bone????

    The top story is the Overland Build (Rafael), Anyone else been able to get their hands on a JL Rhino Back Bone system? I was told none would be available until early 2019!
  16. What method does Jeep use to send out OTA updates?

    What method does Jeep use to send out updates? Satellite transmission (e.g. Sirus), Cellphone tower, cellphone sync (Bluetooth, etc.)? Jeep has called me several times to see if I have received the ORP update (I haven't). The cellphone reception where I live is very spotty. I wondered if bad...
  17. Tail Gate hinges not sealed?

    I was thinking about replacing the hinges on my tailgate, part of a replacement of the tailgate tire bracket. Inspection shows that the hinges extend into the body and an open gap around the hinges as they penetrate the body. If this correct? Or did Toledo forget to use sealant?
  18. Dash Mounts?

    I need to mount my larger screen GPS unit to the dash. The Garmin OEM Jeep GPS does not accept GPX trail files...nor does it save GPX files. I ordered the Rugged Ridge JL Dash Mount System but found out that it was not designed for the Rubicon JL with the larger 8.4 screen. The unit requires a...
  19. Dash Mount for JL?

    Does any one make a phone dash mount for the JL that fits into the dash top tray? I had a dash tray mount in my JK that I used to mount my GPS tablet, but the mount doesn't fit my JL.
  20. 8.4 Nav map details?

    How do you 'zoom' in to display smaller road ways? I live in a semi-rural area. When I use the 8.4 NAV GPS map display, not all of the roads are displayed. For example, I travel along a county road which splits into two separate roads. Both are numbered as county roads, but the map display only...
