To be on the safe side I bit the bullet and replaced both batteries as a lesson for the future. I live in a rural area and was unable to find an aux compatible battery so I drove into town and got both batteries from my dealer. Interestingly, the parts person told me both batteries have a 3-yr...
Twice this winter first thing in the morning when starting my 2018 JL Unlimited Sahara I’ve gotten the message on the dash “aux switches unavailable until battery charges”. This is a daily driver and I have start/stop disabled. It’s 3 ½ years old now. Is this a symptom of a failing battery? Thanks
Teraflex Spare Tire Mounting Kit Part # 4838130. I bought this for my 2018 JK and sold the JK before I used it. It is new, never installed. Sell for $99 shipped free.
I installed the SmartStopStart to disable ESS and I've kept it disabled from the beginning. i know from other threads that the ESS battery is still being charged. What I want to know from definitive sources (i.e. those that have done it successfully) is exactly how to eliminate the ESS battery...
I have over 20K on my JLU Sahara. After my last Wave free oil change, the dealer recommended changing the diff fluid. Got ready to change it and saw the square end on the bolts and didn't know what tool to use? Need assistance. Thanks
I have spent the last 4 days on-and-off carefully absorbing all the information in this thread. OMG what a well done wealth of useful and important data. Special kudos to Jebiruph and everyone who weighed-in. All posts were relevant and on-track and Jebiruph's responses were timely and...
i originally got the Dometic 50 and it worked great except when full it was hard to manage getting in and out of the Jeep because it so heavy. It was also too difficult to transport (car to motel or wherever) so I got a small folding dolly. Finally, that also became cumbersome so I did some...
Like the review. Congrats. Mine is essentially stock. I'm waiting for some wear before I start making major mods. Engine is bullet-proof (FCA has shipped over 1 million), tranny fine, ride is smooth (except when off-road). Taken a couple of 2,500 mile trips with no problems. Had a few...
I'm very interested in feedback on the Sound Assassins both on the hardtop and floor. I love the JL but would like to reduce the interior noise level. I measured the interior (2018 JLU Sahara) noise at 81 db at 60 mph. As a comparison, my 2018 JKU Wrangler was 89 db, a significant difference...
I bought a 2018 JKU because I wanted a Jeep for the adventurous side in my life (I'm 69 years old and a long time motorcyclist). After taking it on a mid-mileage trip to the beach, I decided I wanted something a little more refined but still able to do off-roading. I had been reading about the...
I have the Dometic 50L and it's got lots of space, but it's heavy if you're going to moving around. The Alpicool has a retractable handle and can be wheeled like a suitcase. For me that's a lot more flexible if you're going to moving it from the jeep to a motel room. Both the Dometic and...
i bought my 2018 JLU Sahara V6 last September and have now logged 9K miles with no issues. If you're looking at engines, look at the forum for a comparison of the 4 liter vs the Pentastar V6, which by the way FCA has shipped over a million of. No complaints - go for it. The informed members...
My wife complains about an intermittent cool draft on the passenger side when the heat is on. I haven't noticed it on the driver side. I found another problem (feature?) - the recirculate function turns itself off after some period of time that I haven't been able to determine. On every other...
These are pictures of the left rear panel in the cargo area of my 2018 JLU Sahara. There are two things I’m trying to determine.
1) What is the unit shown in the red box (Rear Panel Unknown.jpg)? It has a windshield washer (?) imprint on it and it doesn’t connect to anything I can see.
2)...
What an absolutely beautiful rig!!! And functional as well!! Looks like you spared no expense. Is it the V6? Why did you get the Pedal Commander? I had one on my JK but didn't think I needed it on the JL.
Cheers
I had the Pedal Commander on my 2018 JK and it really helped with responsiveness. I thought I was going to need it on my JL but the 8-speed is very responsive and shifting is smooth. Yes, there's a lot of shifting on hilly roads. I just don't see how PC would help.
Cheers
