All, Iām sharing this for my brother. I hope you can help.
He is trying to troubleshoot his brand new battery from AutoZone to figure out if he has an issue with the Jeep or the battery. His jeep is a 2019 JLUR with about 40,000 miles on it. The jeep worked fine on the original battery, but he...
This isnāt a jeep question. Itās a local law and convention question. Iām trying to buy a pickup, but I havenāt been on the diesel truck forums much over the last ten years, so I donāt āknowā people there. Iām hoping this group can fill me in on dealership gamesmanship and imaginary fees...
Overall Jeep sales were off 6%, with Wrangler sales down 14%. Both are significant, given the increase in sales of almost everything else (Except Bronco, which is down even more.)
Autoweek sales data
For me the top five are:
1) Retire
2) Spend more time with kids, grandkids, and friends.
3) Travel more trails and states with my Jeep, my wife, and my dog
4) Fill the freezer with elk and fish more
5) Complain less
Iām optimistic about being able to achieve the first four. :like:
We hear a lot about crappy 4-wheel drive shops and lousy work being done, particularly by dealerships and national chains. I thought it might be helpful to have a list of great independent 4x4 shops. Iām talking about places where old fashioned mechanics work, not ātechniciansā who donāt really...
I know that forced induction presents risks. I understand the merits of gearing changes, and I know that some motors are better suited than others to withstand the stresses of turbos and/or superchargers. I can find lots of chatter on general theories and risk versus benefit analysis based on...
Do any of you have experience with the new Cherokee 4xe? If so, please weigh in.
We had a 2016 Grand Cherokee diesel that my wife loved. It was comfortable, quiet, peppy, and fun to drive. It also got better than 30 mpg. Sadly, we sold it after six years because the performance and fuel economy...
Nope!
If you see claims like this they are crapola. Coil packs, cold-air intakes, throttle body spacers, high performance plugs and plug wires, chrome-plated gazornplats, high-speed dip-sticksā¦ Itās all crap.
Stellantis and, previously, FCA, have spent hundreds of millions of dollars working...
Do any of you have a suggestion for a secure attachment for glasses? Iāve used clips like those shown below on our other vehicles for many years but Jeep chose to make the Wrangler visors extremely fat and inflexible, so the clips wonāt fit.
The answer is an amazing number of things! Many of us on this site love Jeeps for their off-road prowess, but they really are a wonderful multipurpose vehicle.
From grocery-getting, to trailing, to overlanding, to rock-crawling, to mall-crawling, to show-n-shining, I'm good with all of it...
Stellantis is offering buyouts to many of itās 13,000 salaried employees in the U.S. to āassist with its pivot to electric vehiclesā.
Itās hard to imagine what the Jeep world will look like in ten years after all of the āpivotingā is done to accommodate the push to electric vehicles, but I...
Do any of you have all three Systems? Iām thinking about supercharging my JL, because Iām an idiot and it sounds like fun, but I canāt find anybody who can confirm the supercharger will fit with the other two systems in place. Any suggestions?
On the recent thread discussing the performance of the steering wheel heat a member noted,
I can summarize contacting Jeep Cares.
āSorry for your experience, I suggest trying another dealer. If you need further assistance, please reach out again.ā

This seems like...
I know we have beaten the gearing topic to death. Lots of threads and lots of opinions ā so many that I donāt have a sense of where the weight of our community leans. Iām also wondering whether folks have changed their minds after living with their choices for a while.
When I chose to go with...
Several weeks ago I installed the Genesis dual battery system on my 2019 JLUR. I went with the Odyssey AGM batteries and the Jeep ran like a top the few (4?) times I drove it on 15 to 20 mile trips. I didnāt have the Jeep hooked up to a battery charger, because I was driving it a couple hours...
Customer service threads usually start with unresolved complaints. This one is about great service long after any reasonable warranty period had expired.
As it turns out, my SPOD stopped working because of my own error, a switch position error I donāt remember making, and one I didnāt look for...
There was a lot to like about the Ford Raptor when I bought mine four years ago, but I had to look hard to find one without all the silly ālook at me!!ā vinyl graphics. The truck also came with three useless, pointless, amber marker lights across the front. They do nothing of value, but they...
Iāve got a Rotopax mount for a single two gallon fuel tank on my Warn tire carrier. Iām considering the racks that attach over the JL windows (shown in photo below), which would mean two more Rotopax locks, and I have a fourth mount on another vehicle. I donāt want FOUR separate keys that look...
Last year I installed an S&B cold air intake and filter with the S&B hood scoops. Now Iād like to install the Genesis Dual Battery kit. Thatās a pretty snug fit with the factory air box. Iām wondering whether the S&B air box, hood scoop, and race will interfere with the Genesis fit. Have any of...
Recently, a community member with a 4xe asked for recommendations on a brake upgrade. I realized that I know nothing about how the jeep braking system interacts with its regen/charging system, so I wasn't competent to offer much useful advice.
Also, I need to find a new grocery-getter and...
