for your 1st question: Turn off "Passive Entry" on screen setup, buy an oversize lockbox. I use the "KeyGuard SL-501 Punch Button Large Capacity Key Storage Shackle Lock Box, Black Finish" that I found on Amazon.

I have a 2021 3.6 eTorque, so far so good, 21k+ miles. I think you just had a bad engine build. I can not provide input on the time to replace the engine. Sorry you are having to go through this. All consumer products have occasional duds. How a company handles these anomalies is their measure...

My roommate talked me into it buying an incomplete flat fender build around 1980. We completed it. It was a beast of an off-road vehicle. On-road it was a challenge.

Mopar & Pennzoil Synthetic and you will be good.

Try running your climate (AC) in a manual mode. Unless it is hot it may avoid the crazy jet turbine mode.

Empty vehicle of unnecessary stuff lighter tires / wheels gearing it's a jeep

It's been a few decades since I traveled in Baja but our first strategy was to never stop in Tijuana, keep an eye on the vehicle in Ensenada and other larger towns. In the rural areas the people were very nice and respectful. If staying in a larger town then look for fenced in parking with security.

I bought from this supplier (importer) https://www.seriesdefender.com/rear-window-vents-jeep-jl.html Fit nice, not a full window opening but ventilation & cross flow

Yes, I rotate 5 tires

Also consider iHikeGPS, nice topo maps that can be downloaded when service is available. They show many geographic features. You can add waypoints and GPX routes.

Just want to verify you found the seat height adjustment. My 21 has an arm on the left side of the seat you push down to lower the seat. It helped for me.

If you are getting a hardtop then a Bestop Sunrider is a great replacement for the Freedom panels. Design67 dash mount for phone, camera, gps, etc. is very nice. Redline Tuning hood struts are much easier than fighting to release the hood stick when it is hot. Hothead Headliner provide a nice...

Vehicles equipped with eTorque contain a heavy duty motor generator and an additional hybrid electric battery to store energy from vehicle deceleration for use on engine startup after a stop as well as providing launch torque assist.

Enjoy, I attended some Texas Jamboree events many years ago, good food, exclusive trails on private property, fun interaction with all the jeepers, won some things at the raffles. Again, enjoy.

Tommy is a nice guy. We met him out on Ophir Pass & Last Dollar Road this summer. He is full of positive energy. I enjoy his sincerity on how little is required to enjoy a capable jeep and explore many of the trails. He did not chastise me for having an over optioned Rubicon.
