The discussion had expanded to other examples and options than the OP's questions and observations. In our case, with both the Jeep and the PU, the Andersen hitch offers a significant improvement in handling and towing stability. And, Lock N Roll does offer a WDH option. How well it works, and...

If you are using a trailer designed for being taken off road that most likely has an articulating hitch, then ... yes.

Here is one of the best videos that explains towing weights and other considerations. Curt has a really good 'school' on towing: https://www.curtmfg.com/introduction And ... we use an Andersen hitch with the Cassie. It worked really well on the Jeep, ditto for the Ram. The Andersen has...

Actually, that worked quite well. I disconnected both batteries, then removed the panel/module, unplugged the two connectors - one for the Start button; the other for the airconditioner/heater/other stuff. I did remove the covers on the backside but all there is there is a circuit board, with...

So, we were tugging a Forest River 176SE with our 2018 JLU Sport S, auto, 33" tires, no changes to the standard 3.45 gears. It weighed in at about 1800 pounds with a tongue weight of about 190. This worked well for us. No problems on mountain passes, not even up or down on Wolf Creek and...

Yeah ... I'll run some tests on both batteries this weekend and see what turns up.

So ... When I start the Heep - 2018 JLU 3.6L Sport S - and reach over and tap the ESS button to turn ESS off, sometimes it turns off (the light comes on) and sometimes it does not (the light doesn't come on). At the same time, there is no control over the AC/heater. Can't turn on either; the...

Here's a couple of different trips to our local state park.

While there is almost no snow at all on the southeastern plains, the mountains just got slammed last week during that storm. Here's a snow depth map you may find helpful. https://weatherstreet.com/weather-forecast/colorado-snow-cover.htm

I have seen the O-ring in the wrong groove on the cap, the one where the threads begin right after the bottom flange of the O-ring groove. Is the O-ring in the right groove? Or, perhaps a hairline crack in either the cap or the rim of the housing?

Cracked housing down at the base, from over torqueing the lid? Here is a notice about this sort of thing from 2014; note the paragraph about torqueing the cap. https://www.mightyautoparts.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/tt-0180-chrysler-pentastar-engine.pdf An excerpt: " While this writing is...

Oh ... faces! I misread it.

Well, here's one for you: Stock, no problems at all. 2.5" lift, still with stock Bridgstone A/T's ... at 65-70 mph, a bump on the highway would strongly tend to cause a death wobble. Slowing down caused it to go away. Caster 7.0 left; 6.9 right. Adjustable lower control arms. Didn't mess with...

That's a Florida Sheriff's Association plate. https://www.flsheriffs.org/about/fsa-specialty-license-plate They do SWAT and other special training. It might be a vehicle they use for that. Or, it may just be a vehicle owned by a member with delusions of grandeur. A plate check shows it to be...

Wowsers. Same engine, hmmmm? I didn't know that. Well, some re-engineering, obviously. Thanks for the info, and the clip on the flare removal, too.

On 2018 JLU Sport 3.6L, I'm getting an error code P0116, coolant temp sensor. The fan's not spinning, coolant level is good. As it idles in the driveway, the temp gauge climbs right up past 220 and would keep going if I didn't shut it off. I'm assuming from this that the sensor (Mopar 68217702AC...

So here's something to consider: The driver's side seatbelt latch in our 2002 Liberty upgefucht (German technical term for 'ceased working') quite some time ago. The little red button thingie sticks in the depressed state, and the seatbelt won't latch. But ... if the little red button thingie...

Well ... that didn't take long, did it.

We are using a Mountain Off-Road Enterprises steel skid: https://mountainoffroad.com/collections/wrangler-jl/products/jlopsp-jeep-jl-oil-transmission-skid-plate It was fairly easy to install and has worked very well for us. It has a v-shaped baffle by the oil drain hole that is supposed to -...

Um ... well ... God gave us a middle finger for a reason, doncher know. But seriously, what other Jeepers think, at least about this kind of thing, is not going to keep me up at night, questioning the whichness of what and the thisness of that - especially when the 'disdain' is probably coming...
