Hard top owners--I can't find this searching the forum. Can anyone recommend a replacement brand rear wiper, including the plastic arm such generic replacement wipers are sold with, for the rear of the hard top? Might any old 12" standard wiper and plastic arm likely do? I've seen the mere...

For the first time since purchase I have reason to look at the design under either cowl for purposes of possibly fabricating hardware that might attach below it, even if it involves drilling holes that are invisible with the cowl reattached after such an installation. As anyone might suggest, I...

Hi everyone. I'd wager good money that at least someone who is a member of this forum, other than LOD itself, has acquired their new Destoyer series roof rack, including the sold separately kit that allows the rack to slide and entirely cantilever to one side, so as to provide access to the...

According to this, Bestop has the design of the retractable sunshade for the Sunrider already designed for the JL. Okay: maybe it needs tweaking since this video: I don't know. And while no product is trivial to bring to market, certainly, proof of concept that it can be done, and will sell...

For those of you who own the Sunrider from Bestop, how many keep it on for the entire cool seasons and how many of you use it as a transitional opening top for the bookend months in late Fall and early Spring, switching to the Freedom panels for the January/February coldest months?

Given that from the factory, where installation of proximity locks should presumptively be cheapest for FCA to install, given they get to time when in the build process they do this, and economies of scale... and the fact that this is $441 (FWP: i.e. factory wholesale price, i.e. "Invoice") on...

I think I rubbed too aggressively in two spots on my White JL's hood, each about the size that's a little bit smaller than a CD. I'd include pictures but my cameras lack the ability to capture this despite taking the pictures in numerous amounts and types of outdoor light. If I never fix...

It's come up before, but how hard would it be for FCA to reprogram how the JL operates, with merely a software download, such that a vehicle in ESS, and then shifted into Park, remains in ESS and doesn't start up, unless the rig is taken out of Park. Maybe there is a reason for this, but it...

A couple hundred feet from a red traffic light, traveling at a relatively fast speed relative to the distance from that light that will mandate slowing the rig beyond simply coasting and letting friction do its thing, are there cons to downshifting and braking versus simply breaking? Thanks.

What's yours? Mine would probably be the Active Safety Group. This is not to trash the feature, although I think all this safety equipment tends to make for lazy drivers who think that "turn your head in the direction you wish to take the vehicle before making that move" (be it backing up or...

As we all know, there are FCA "rules," and then there are FCA rules. Remove the back soft windows when the soft top's in Sunrider position--that's more like a recommendation among us (until we litigate FCA, then they say it's a rule.;)) Get things serviced for safety and life of the vehicle...

How much amperage would a booster power pack have to be rated at to crank a 3.6L JL Wrangler? I do appreciate this question to be far more detailed that it would appear to be on its surface given the need for the ESS/Aux battery to have charge on its own for the crank process in the rig to even...

Suppose somebody figured out how to install proximity locks after sale, that guided you with documentation on every part, its source, and step to setting this up yourself, and followed a path that required the minimal dealer involvement (i.e. $). What might you pay for that--assuming of course...

Suppose FCA said they can only keep so many SKUs of options and features for a Wrangler model on their books at one time. It's not precisely true, although there are limits on the number of distinct products that can be managed by FCA without increasing staff, which are likely prioritized by...

On my bucket list involves buying two damaged (to save $) JLU non-painted (i.e. black, but not painted black) hard tops, ideally just the larger back portion of the top (i.e. Freedom Panels not needed). Each top will need to be damaged in a different place. This is for purposes of attempting...

This modularization of a hard top is on my bucket list. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/converting-a-factory-jk-jku-hardtop-to-modular.160775/ I figure that if I buy two damaged hard tops, each with damage in different places I can attempt this. If you have one to sell and live in...

How many of us studied some discipline, from welding to rocket science, did well, and then went out into the world only to realize how little we really knew until we'd applied our skills in the real world, gained experience, skinned our knees a bit, and truly learned by teaching others? I did...

There's a similarly priced one on their website for the JKU too. https://lodoffroad.com/products/jeep/2018-jeep-jl-products/roof-rack.html

This post got me thinking https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/finally-a-smaller-key-fob.20609/page-8#post-797243 Photoshop users out there, we've already seen some digital trickery making the JL Fob look like it takes up much of the rig's cargo area. Using your skills we ought to...

Special thanks to @Jebiruph, whose foundations he's made on this subject matter bring me here. I'm sorry this is long winded--especially for those largely in the know. Explaining things clearly often trades off with brevity. I'm going to use one of his quotes: (Disclaimer: Theories...
