2020 JTR, Start of a never ending adventure!!!

[HAMP]

This is the beginning of a long road of upgrades. Not in a hurry at all, been told to just drive it and enjoy it before going crazy. So far Cold air intake, LED headlights, Tonneau Cover, and stubby antenna have been ordered. will post pictures once that comes in and gets installed. thanks to cold weather, JT is a good reason to straighten out the garage so I have room to work in comforting heat. Stay tuned!

Nice, I bought my 20 JTR this last May. I used to live in Reno and then Vegas. If you don’t have it yet I’d look into like the hotheads headliner for the hard top. Not a huge difference but noticeable. Had enough times in the NV desert with the top radiating down heat even on sunny cold days to appreciate the extra bit of insulation.

Dude, you need to change the subject of this thread....

When you say "Money Pit" - I immediately think of mechanical repairs & failures.

It's only a money pit when you're forced to spend money on things you DON'T want!

Congrats!

Either way money is going to get dumped into it. Repairs, upgrades, and useless things that look nice. But thank you!

Just a quick update, having Aux battery issues, JT has been down since Sunday. Ordered new batteries, Aux battery arrived bad (won't hold a charge) probably last time I order from Summit ever again so Aux delete will be happening tonight so that I can hopefully get my JT home from my buddy's garage where it is currently inoperable. I have installed quite a few additions, Mopar stubby takeoff, Apex 12k synthetic winch, and some lights. If all goes to plan I should have updated photos coming tonight or tomorrow granted the aux delete will fix the issues.

Another update, Aux delete went smoothly and JT is running again, check engine light was on all the way home. went to start it this morning and wouldn't you know it, no check engine light and console said 14.4v on battery. I have a picture of the front end but don't have my phone at work to post it. may be possible later unless @Artsifrtsi could be so kind as to upload the picture I sent him. waiting on a sunny day and memory to let me take some better pictures. Tomorrow changing fender lights (pass side been giving me problems), installing Tazer to hopefully fix my fog light issue, and installing overland rack that finally showed up.

Here ya go…
