  1. Trade In Value Plummet of Death

    You're trying to compare retail to wholesale. Carvana would be paying you wholesale so they can sell it at retail to make a profit. None of these car or home buying services are giving you retail, their business would instantly collapse.
  2. When did your battery die?

    The first time was after about 2.5 years and 30,000 miles. Second time was about four months later, a couple of days ago. It was towed in, waiting to hear from the dealership that it has been moved into the shop. If we can't be confident that a root cause has been identified and eliminated...
  3. Jeep Ducking (Duck Duck Jeep)

    Sitting in the Jeep while wife was shopping and the sweetest little (I'd guess) three year old girl walks up to my window and hands me this. Dad was just a couple steps behind her. He says they were driving through the lot when she saw our jeep and asked if she could "duck that Jeep"
  4. What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

    Love the lights. Hate the price.
  5. When did your battery die?

    2.5 years in the aux battery died and shut EVERYTHING down. I believe it's failure also caused the AMP steps controller to fry itself (low voltage?). Jeep replaced the battery and AMP Research replaced the controller, both under warranty.
  6. Retractable power steps recommendations?

    We had the AMP steps installed 2.5 years ago through the dealer before we even took delivery, my vertically challenged spouse insisted on it. They worked great until about two weeks ago, coincidentally failing shortly after the aux battery crapped out and shut EVERYTHING down. I suspect the...
  7. Jeep Ducking (Duck Duck Jeep)

    Got ducked for the second time by the "Dark Knight". That's his Jeep in the background.
  8. JLUR battery flatlining when flat towing

    I've used this on multiple toads now. Simple installation, safe for the battery, has eliminated any battery drain issues.
  9. JLUR battery flatlining when flat towing

    Anything is possible if you throw enough time or money at it but the wire harness you're tapping into runs along the inside of the right side rocker panel. Not worth the trouble in my opinion. I have a bright red velcro tie wrapped around the passenger hang on bar when the switch is in Jeep...
  10. JLUR battery flatlining when flat towing

    Night driving OR daytime in the rain, lights on. My issue was corrected as soon as I remedied an improperly installed toad charger line.
  11. 2021 JL Eco Diesel needing repair?

    When a DEF equiped engine is shut down the system will pump any fluid left in the lines back into the tank. As DEF will freeze this protects the lines from bursting. Should it freeze in the tank, which has room for expansion, there is a heater to thaw it back out.
  12. Why can't Jeep US get their s**t together?

    Supply chain issues are messing with everything. Foam plant in Texas blew up last spring, no seating foam available for months (reason it took 8 months for our living room furniture to get here). Materials necessary to the manufacturer of computer chips in short supply, sea ports blocked by...
  13. Check your insurance coverage/contract

    I've been retired for a number of years now but the only limit we had (State Farm) was on recovery. It had to be within so many feet of a legal road. You were on your own for any additional recovery cost because the wreck was 15 miles from nowhere. The actual damage would be covered...
  14. JLUR battery flatlining when flat towing

    This is an interesting theory. Our last trip we drove through a LOT of rain, the lights were on for hours at a time, a couple days in a row without disconnecting the toad/Jeep. This was the case both on our trip north and then again on our return trip back to Florida. In both cases the Jeep...
  15. JLUR battery flatlining when flat towing

    In earlier posts I'd indicated that our batteries had gone dead in spite of having an RVI toad charger installed. Today I decided to double check the installation and found the "ignition hot" position on the Jeep side of the wire harness was wired incorrectly. I've now corrected that and I...
  16. JLUR battery flatlining when flat towing

    I have an RVI toad charger. It was still DOA after two days and about 750 miles.
  17. JLUR battery flatlining when flat towing

    I'll be very interested in hearing what they come up with.
  18. JLUR battery flatlining when flat towing

    It's not a Cooltech issue. Others have reported the same issue with varying wire harness configurations. It's a Jeep issue.
  19. JLUR battery flatlining when flat towing

    Just got back from a trip. On the way north the Jeep was towed 1200 miles over a few days without ever being disconnected. Batteries were totally flat when we got to our destination. I found the (older generation) toad charger was not connected (no fuse). It was towed for a few shorter trips...
