I heard Chrysler is voiding warranties due to their drivetrain not being rated to handle that much extra power from those cabin air filters.....
That figures!

In all seriousness, a K&N filter is the last filter I would ever put on any vehicle. Project Farm on YouTube did a comparison and it was scary how bad they performed.

I would agree, but I also have a friend with a Saab turbo that has about 300,000 miles on it with no issues and he's run the same K&N since new. Granted he doesn't go to the dusty places Jeeps might go, but it didn't ruin his engine, either. Still, I don't think the gain in flow is worth the reduction in efficiency. Just my 2 cents.

Yep, saw that same Project Farm. That dude is very thorough with all his testing. Was definitely an eye opener!

Stuck inside #Safeathome and working. But had some fun today

#1 - Future project for my JL not going to spill the beans on what it is until my new Filament arrives and I can print in in black. (Feel free to guess)

I'm going to guess that it is a camera mount for the dash

I thought I bought it because it didn't look so angry. I think it's just the angle of the shot. But, in the picture, it looks angry. Maybe it doesn't like the cold rainy weather.

Got the hitch+wiring harness from Quadratec

https://www.quadratec.com/p/quadratec/premium-2-receiver-hitch-jeep-wrangler-jl

Install was pretty straight forward but tedious. I followed the quadratec mopar install video() to make sure I ran the wiring correctly through the firewall etc.. Not exactly the same but close enough. I think the whole install took about 2 hours and only $150!

I let the dealer do it. I got them to add it in when I bought the JL. Any electrical problems they own it. The last thing I want is the dealer to say any electrical problem is due to my wiring job. The warranty goes right out the window!

Smittybilt Gen 3 XRC Rear Bumper. Need to finish wiring the reverse LEDs to the Voswitch JL200 (too bright to attach to reverse leads).

How much did the dealer charge?
