Does the kit advertise how much power those lights use? I for one would be a bit worried about those lights pulling way too much amperage than what that bed light circuit was designed for.
I bought a second hand Classic cap, but if I were buying new I'd get the Evolve since you can have the rear glass unlock with the vehicle keyless remote. They really are fairly similar besides that and the rear window being frameless.
If you didn't touch the door harness, I'd bring it to the dealership and let them figure it out. Might be a loose/bad connection that you *could* try to track down but that's what the warranty is for.
The temporary fix is for the user to remove the wireless function by cutting out the internal battery (which gets you a $100 warn.com gift card), but eventually they'll still be sending out a new weatherproof wireless remote to replace ALL old remotes, even the ones that users removed the battery.
For far better warranty and customer service alone, yes. Colorshift to me is a gimmick, and I'm personally not a fan of the transformer "eye" look of the Oracle ones. Not to mention the added functionality these have on the "Max" version. Personally, I just want the base version but even those...
As others mentioned, if it being a "truck" is important take a look at the payload/towing tables as they actually vary quite a bit between trims. If you're looking to eek out every bit of legal payload/towing, max tow is the best bet but it may ride a bit harsher due to the purpose built...
Wrangler pros:
better turning/maneuverability in city setting, easier to park
Takes up less space in a garage
Better off-road (shorter wheelbase, better break over angle)
Classic wrangler look, hugely popular
Gladiator pros:
Way more storage (better for families)
Longer wheelbase means more...
Yeah, I'm personally not buying that. That's an average of over a 1000 miles each and every day. Assume an average speed of 65 mph and that's over 15 hrs of drive time per day.
Seems like a horrible vehicle to choose to drive that much unless it's testing specifically put on my MOPAR to...
Might be a tough sell, agree that drilling holes in the bed isn't too desirable for a whole lot of people for something that's mostly cosmetic. I'd probably throw it on for sale sites for $500 and see if anyone bites.
Could be several things:
- different rock lights brands, qty of lights, and how you wire them (series/parallel) can draw vastly different loads on the circuit.
- different vehicle trim levels have different available wires to tap (sport/sport S don't have the courtesy lights at all)
- vehicle...
This isn't all necessarily true.
Depending on the rock lights, they could draw several amps, and there are relays that can draw around half an amp. If the circuit is monitored by the vehicles computers and cutting power due to the high draw, this could fix that issue.
Depending on the...
If you use a relay it'll just use a small amount of electrical draw from the courtesy light circuit to enable a second completely separate circuit from the battery...this gets you your 12v supply and as much current as your lights need without potentially overloading the foot well light circuit...
Could your issues just be that the vehicle is seeing the increased power draw on the foot well light circuit (due to your rock lights) and is cutting power since it's getting overloaded and trying to protect itself? I'd try to set up a relay circuit so that the foot well lights just activate a...
Looks like you only need the front passenger kickpanel cover that @Lunentucker posted above, there's no plastic cover on the back passenger side location of the hardtop (no wiring connectors there to hide).
Re read part B of his question.
"There is also not a similar panel on the rear passenger door at the hard top bolt. Should there be one there?"
I guess it's up for debate which one he's actually referring to here.
