  1. Poll: Bubbles in Paint??

    My 2018 Sahara shows bubbling on all 4 door hinges. :mad:
  2. RFI obliterating radio reception

    Thanks for all the help and ideas! I do have the LED lighting package with the DRLs. Obviously, I still have a lot of troubleshooting to do. The dealership I use is not too far from me, so I'll probably drive over there and talk to a service advisor and see what they say. It's possible I may...
  3. RFI obliterating radio reception

    Yes, the radio power cord is direct to both battery terminals. I understand the importance of grounding, but since this same situation occurs when testing with an HT using a rubber duck antenna, that's not my issue here. It's trying to find and resolve what's generating this darn RFI...
  4. RFI obliterating radio reception

    In my 2018 JL, I have a Yaesu FTM-300 installed and when trying to receive transmissions when the vehicle is running this video shows what happens. I have tried the following things and nothing has resolved my issue, nor have I found the source of this interference. tried different radios...
  5. Need a ham radio consult... interference?

    EDIT: I've ordered a front fender mount and will try relocating the antenna. Thanks for the reply! My old vehicle was a Toyota Camry with a Larsen dual band NMO mag mount that sat on the middle of the trunk. I never had any issues with receiving local repeaters and the signal meter was always...
  6. Need a ham radio consult... interference?

    Hi all, I've been having this problem since I installed my Kenwood TM-v71A in my 2018 JLU last year. What's happening is that when I'm listening to a repeater while driving, the signal meter is all over the place (up and down) with significant noise and picket fencing type symptoms. I've been...
  7. Ham radio

    https://www.hamradiolicenseexam.com by far the best... even has a money back guarantee if you fail. I used if for my Tech and General and scored a 100% on both exams.
  8. Reminder: 5 quarts of oil to avoid oil overfill

    That's interesting, you checked yours cold and it showed a little low, but mine cold is at least an inch up the cable. Looks to me mine is overfilled.
  9. Reminder: 5 quarts of oil to avoid oil overfill

    I just had my 3rd oil change done and I believe they overfilled it again, even after telling them it was overfilled the last two times and only needs 5 quarts. When I checked the dip stick in the morning (cold engine), the oil was at least an inch up onto the cable, outside the range area. When...
  10. Road crown sensitivity

    I usually run them around 34, although lately with the cold weather, they've been dropping to 30... It's my first Jeep, so I've never had experience with a solid front axle. I guess it's just the way they are. Regardless, I still love it, thanks for all the replies!
  11. Road crown sensitivity

    My Jeep has always done it, but seems more prevalent since getting the V41 steering damper recall done. Any chance you had that done recently as well? And yes, mine is installed correctly ;) (not upside down).
  12. Road crown sensitivity

    Let me start by saying I don't believe I have the loose steering/wandering problem. I can drive on the highway 70+ with one hand or a couple fingers and don't have to fight the steering. I do have a little bit of play (dead spot) in the steering wheel, but nothing I really find concerning. My...
  13. SWR problems - Cooltech tailgate mount, 4' Firestik

    When I checked the SWR for my ham radio install using this mount, it was 1.2 at 144 mhz and 1.8 and 148 mhz. What I found interesting was when the spare tire was off it was 1.2 and 1.5 at the ends. I put the tire back on and the SWR went up to 1.8 again on the high side... hmmm...
  14. CB Radio Locations and Installs -- Post your Pictures

    Here's my Kenwood TM-V71A installed. The antenna is a dual band Diamond SG-7500 super gainer, using an 3/8 inch NMO mount. I like the mirror install above, but was not an option for me as I have the assist and emergency buttons up there, anyway...
  15. wiring through the firewall

    After having my JL for the last year, I'm finally getting around to reinstalling my Kenwood TMV-71A dual band radio back in the vehicle. All I can say is what a pain in the rear it was getting the power cable through the grommet behind the glovebox. It took me numerous tries and I ended up...
  16. Help: How much gas does your tank let you fill?

    I've never gotten more than 17.5 in mine.
  17. Map updates?

    Sorry for the delay, been away on vacation. Nope, that's just the part number. There are no directions on the website yet for the 2019 model year. Have to wait until it shows up as an option.
  18. Uconnect App missing Lock and Unlock

    Happened to me too... seems to be back to normal now.
