Your Jeep is pretty complex

[THAW]

Nobody says to carry a spare ECM/TCM, main harness, or laptop though. I've never heard anyone actually recommend that - Jeep, Toyota, or any other make.

Andrew St Pierre White recommends carrying a laptop for the modern Defender 110 in case you open the doors too often and kill the battery.

I stand by my statement. Andrew, if you're out there, you're nobody to me.

This gets my vote for thread of the day!

Had 2 bowls of popcorn laughed a few times and forgot the point all together.

This forum is something special in the automotive world.

Computer engineer checking in: That's nothing to be afraid of.

The big problem is poor quality wire harnessing, questionable harness routing, bad/cheap connectors, bad/cheap components, and sometimes questionable component design that leads to shorting out lines that shouldn't be shorted out.

Also all of those things are likely contracted out to at least a dozen different companies.

You can build something like that without it being a problem.

Refuse to learn how to handle a known, yet unlikely, issue, complain further that said rare issue exists, and then move on to the next thread.

Next question.

agree, except for tire changing, repairing, some simple tools, duct tape! if it breaks, im getting a tow to pavement, call USAA and tow it home. My days of pulling an axle out so we can keep a three legged bronco moving are over.

I hate to ask, but WTF is a JLU80?

2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 80th Anniversary Edition...

https://www.mideast.jeep.com/en/limited-editions/80th-anniversary.html

The 80th trim was standard auto trans and 8.4 Infotainment package. It also had special seat cloth (that I replaced with leather in mine), berber floormats, granite inserts and badges, and trim-specific wheels.

Even simple vehicles require spares to be carried. Back in blighty I ran old MG’s and Mini’s, each of them had a spare rotor arm, condenser, points, dizzy cap, leads and a small hammer to free up the points on the fuel pump.
Vehicles have become more complex so the spares to carry have fancier names and cost a good bit more.

We could bring in @Sean L to get big truck boners when we do ridiculous land whales as a special episode. F250 Tremors and shit.

Did someone say trucks??!!??

The free hat I got with my first Wrangler is still the hat I keep in my JL lol. Feel like such a dork when I wear it, but a free hat is a free hat, I'll keep that in the Jeep for sure.

Its not the hat

Because you wouldn’t be a true friend if you didn’t tell him the truth.

It should be!!! I paid ~$60k for mine.

Are you thinking that complexity is something you should pay extra for? Simplicity is a hallmark of good design, not complexity.
