So I figured it out and its possibly the last thing anybody would have considered. It was spurious RF signals caused by the alarm system on my old truck. Long story short - I noticed another vehicle was having some weird keyfob issues. Initially I didn't catch it - then I thought it was just...

Well, I bypassed the Aux battery - pulled the fuse and disconnected the ground wire from the connection at the main. Came across a video where the guy who did it first pulled the wire w/ the smaller fitting & the Jeep had no power, wouldn't start, then swapped neg wires & it fired up. So I tried...

This weekend I remote started my Jeep, but when I got outside it wasn't running. I figured user error. Went to Costco, did some shopping, filled up the tank & ran through the car wash. Got home and after unloading, I tried to lock the Jeep & didn't hear the horn. Go to the door so I could...

I’ve started watching diesel prices since I’m considering the swap from 3.6 over to 3.0… The prices are all over the place. Some gas stations have it middle of the road w/ 89 octane, some have it listed as more expensive than premium. Seemed like just a year ago it was in line w/ 87, so I don’t...

That's the route I went when I got my Rubicon. Built it up, contacted a dealer in Vegas & placed the order.

Heck yeah man! That’s awesome! I swung by a semi-local dealership here in So Cal tht had a JLURD in stock. First the guy tried to tell me they had none, asked if I was open to other options (Sure, if it’s a 3.0.. or maybe a Mojave tho), so we shoot the shit while he looks up in his computer &...

Thanks! The backup camera is impressively good. Definitely wouldn’t leave that off a build lol. The not driving enough bit threw me off. I thought maybe there was the emissions system. Sounds like financing options are still decent, good to know. I’ll definitely have to do some shopping around...

I was looking into different lift kits for my 3.6 Rubicon. Its time. In fact its well overdue! I’m about 99% set on going with a smallish lift, 2.5”, maybe 3.5” & 37s. (not sure which kit, but I’m in the desert & I do like to go fast, so not spacers, but not long arm either) I know stock 4:10’s...

I came across that video last night myself. Seems like they are getting similar results as a Banks Derringer setup…. So My question is, why get one over the other? I’ve been going down a rabbit hole this week. If I had the 3.0 I’d be leaning towards Banks. Looks like its an easier DIY install &...

Wow what the actual F. Well at least I’m not the only one. I noticed the update a while ago with the new “home” screen with my iPhone plugged in. Didn’t really dig in or look around for other changes. I have a work truck so I don’t drive much during the week. Just a few minutes ago the screen...

The dealerships aren't just making less profit on custom-order sales. They don't have to subsidize the money they bleed every day the Jeep sits on a lot. Its easy, low risk profit. They also cut deals with financing requirements. My 2 best quotes were about $1500 off from one another. The 3rd...

I chose other as well. I don't think I would pay anything for 3rd party guidance. I highly recommend getting them from the factory if that's something you think you may want. That's what I did. However, I would expect installation and setup instructions already provided with any aftermarket...

Doesn’t sound right. Check that all doors are properly shut & also check your headlights. Are they set to “on” or “auto”? Or as mentioned above - are you grabbing the handle when pushing the lock button? Mine will honk once, locking with a single button press when I’m outside of it with the key...

That’s no good. If you do get any penalties I’d hope to see they pay them for causing the delay. Could be just that you can’t legally operate on the streets but I’m not sure. Picked up mine Feb 18th. Almost had the same problem because the finance lady accidentally put 2018 on all my papers &...

@Chocolate Thunder - When I was young I was taught to run a finger with some oil on it around the o-ring of the filter. The ring would be less likely to bind up & potentially fail to seal. Is it critical? Probably not. Just something I’ve continued to do with all my oil changes. As far as...

Taken the night I installed the winch. Been playin around in Lightroom and thought this image came out pretty great.

Thanks! Zion was awesome. I definitely need to plan on another trip & spend more time out there. I also really like Valley of Fire. The mountains really light up when the sun gets low! We originally planned on Grand Canyon South, but I wanted to start @ Horseshoe & we saw it was an hour quicker...

I gotcha. I dont know if the coating is good/bad tho. In this situation, I think somebody got away with scamming Amazon by returning Sports in a pro box. I also have a sneaking suspicion they were stolen because the wiring harness was cut so short. Pretty much about the length of harness exposed...

I peeked behind the lens, but I forget if there was one or not. I believe there was. I’ve got the pros mounted now. Those look great! I’m a bit torn on the cubes. I wanted these for more visibility to side roads/trails. However, they do light up the hood some - not a fan of that. Not sure if I...

Just got back from a trip. Stopped by Valley of Fire, Tuesday afternoon. Started Wednesday off in Page, AZ @ Horseshoe Bend. Then spent the rest of the day visiting Zion National Park. Great trip, tons more photos to go thru. Avg’d 17mpg over the bulk of the trip, then had a strong headwind from...
