I bought a set of 4" Aux Beam lights for the front bumper. I refuse to pay Mopar the amount they want for their light brackets so I did some searching at my local home center. I found two 8.5" by 8.5" by 1.5" L brackets that are 1/4" thick. They were in the area where fencing hardware...
I mounted my driving lights on the JL today and in order to route the wiring harness out of the way I pulled the air box out of the way. Gave me a clear shot to route the wiring harness as I had hoped. All went well until I went to put the air box back in place. No matter what I did, no...
My AuxBeam lights came in so before I mounted them on the front bumper I wanted to make sure they work. Aux Beam does a nice job with the included wiring harness and the lights are solid, not cheap plastic. The wiring harness has good waterproof plugs on the light end tied into a relay covered...
I've got a set of driving lights on order that I want to mount to the front bumper. Seeing that I'm a cheap Yankee I can't swallow the cost of the two little OEM Mopar brackets for the standard Sport bumper so I started looking for options. Found this on EBay -...
My 36month/36,000 mile warranty expired last week. First thing I did was pull fuse 42 and disconnected the AUX battery negative and taped it off.
I have JScan and a Veepeak BLE+ OBDC reader that I bought last year. I used it successfully to change my tire size in the computer when I upgraded...
When I installed my ham radio in my JL I didn't want to put the antenna on the tailgate as it would create issues in transmitting capability. So, I found a side mount for the front fender and installed the antenna there on the left side cowl. After using it there for a year I wasn't really...
I'm a ham radio operator and a member of my local ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) group. In addition to emergency communications we provide communication services for various public events in our area like marathons, foot races, bicycle races, etc.
There are large flexible magnetic...
I saw this on a video for Hooke Road accessories. I'm looking for something similar and simple for use when I'm using my ham radio go box in the back of the Jeep. Right now I throw a blue tarp over the top of the open tailgate window and bungee the corners to the wheels then two tent poles to...
I have an Icom 2730A ham radio installed in my JL. Anyone tried a Compactenna on a Jeep Wrangler? I have a Larson 2/70 mounted on the driver's side cowl on a stainless steel bracket grounded to the body. It's not the greatest and I know the Larson is a good antenna, my wife has one on a roof...
My son bought this Thule bike rack to mount on his CJ-7 spare tire. Never happened as the CJ got T-boned by a FedEx truck. The rack is new, we just don't have the box it came in. All the mounting parts and pieces are with it. Mounts to the spare tire bolts. $200 - Prefer local pickup as...
Question for the collective. I just got my JL back from having the hinges on both front doors and the tailgate done. I picked it up Friday and parked it in the garage until yesterday. I took it out on a bright sunny day and noticed that the doors and tailgate are a shade lighter grey than the...
My son bought a new 2022 (leftover)Gladiator a couple months ago and didn’t like the black wheels that came on it. But I did, they match my JL color scheme. Anyway, he gave me his four wheels but I have a 2020 so I had to replace the OEM TPMS sensors as the 2022+ are on a different frequency...
Took my JL in to Nucar CDRJ this morning in Tilton, NH to have the exploding bolt recall done. While it was there I had asked them to do the windshield header gasket TSB and take a look at both my front door and tailgate hinge corrosion. No problems or issues from them whatsoever. They told...
I loaded up J Scan with an OBDC reader that works for it, a Veepeak BLE+. Everything seemed to work correctly when I reprogrammed for my new tires (speedometer is dead on now) and I deactivated the start/stop. It worked great for a week now the start/stop is doing it's thing again. I checked...

Toyota is ahead of the curve on this one. Rather than oversized battery packs they're introducing a technology that I really feel can replace the ICE vehicles. You don't need to sit waiting for you battery to recharge, just fill...
My son bought a 2021 Gladiator left over about a month ago. I was at his house the other day and telling him to be on the lookout for the paint bubbling around the hinges. Then when I took a close look at his I saw that there's a thin black gasket between the hinge and the door skin, no steel...
My son bought a new 2021 Gladiator and upgraded wheels and tires at 300 miles. He gave me his wheels for my JL however as mine is a 2020 I had to replace the TPMS sensors - his Gladiator was built in October 2021, after the June changeover. I had my new tires and TPMS sensors installed at a...
I upgraded my wheels and tires on my JL so I have four Sport S silver wheels with TPMS sensors installed (pre 6/21 433MHz) and Goodyear Kevlar AT tires mounted. The tires have 20,000 miles on them but there's a lot of life left in them. No plugs, patches, tears or damage to the tires or...
Just put on my new Wildpeaks this morning. 275/70/17 so they're load range C, it's a 2 door JL. But, when I fired up the Jeep the tire pressure screen on the dash said they're at 47psi. It's riding a bit hard so I'm thinking they overdid the tire pressure. What are you running - in the load...
I found the OEM part number for my TPMS sensors for my new wheels for my 2020 JL. Mopar #68402371AA. The Mopar online parts places want $40+ each plus $33 for shipping. I found a bunch of them on Ebay with the correct part number listed. They have several photos and in one you can see where...
