I've got my phone paired to the 5" base unit in my JT SS and it works fine. Recently my wife has asked to pair her phone as well. We've tried several times, to no avail. Is there a trick to pairing more than a single device to the base level system?

My brake/turn signal on the driver's side is dead. The book says the bulb is a 3157 but the one I bought doesn't fit. The original bulb has a glass base and clicks into place in the socket; the replacement bulb has a plastic base and just slides in with no resistance, and slides out just as...

So, I'm thinking I want to put a winch on my Gladiator, I've got a limited budget, and Harbor Freight just sent me a 25% off coupon with no exclusions, and good for a week. I'm looking at the offerings from Harbor Freight and comparing the Apex and the ZXR, both rated at 12K lbs. The ZXR comes...

We finally got to test out the Gladiator towing behind our motorhome - it tracked straight and true like expected with no issues. But, we have an issue with the turn signal wiring. I built a copy of the CoolTech harness, with a 4PDT switch on the dash, and wired into the harness in the...

On my wife's old JKU I could access the wiring harness to the rear lights by removing the plastic cover on the door sill on the passenger side. It was pretty straightforward by popping out the push pins holding the plastic panel down to the sill, and looking at videos it looks like the JLU is...

So, I'm slowly getting the JT ready for towing behind the motorhome - I'm getting ready to install the Ready Brake cables, for supplemental and breakaway braking, and so I have to drill 2 holes 5/16th inches diameter through the firewall, directly behind the brake pedal. I can easily get access...

Got an email from Harbor Freight this morning - looks like they've got a sale on the Badland ZXR 12,000 lb winch with wire rope for $279.99. I haven't been planning on getting a winch in the near future, but the price is intriguing. I know everybody seems to be going with synthetic rope lately...

So, I'm looking at the CoolTech wiring harness and the installation video shows that our Jeeps have a separate wire for the right and left running lights - my motorhome has a single wire for both sides on the running lights. Will that present any issues if that single wire gets split into two lines?

I'm getting ready to install the NSA Ready Brute auxiliary braking system on my Gladiator, preparing it to tow behind our motorhome. The braking system requires that I run a steel cable from the brake pedal, through the firewall, and up to the front of the truck. So, I've got some questions...

I typically hit the ASS button every time I start my truck, but yesterday I left it active and noticed that the engine did not shut down at stop lights. I know that it will remain running if the AC is running and the cab temperature is too high; does it also keep running if it's cold outside...

I've been given the green light to start putting together a shopping list so we can set up the Gladiator for towing behind our motorhome. I've been looking at the Rugged Ridge Spartan bumper, because it fits our budget, looks nice, and I've seen it mentioned here by others. Also, Rugged Ridge...

So, I've been told to look for a decent, low-cost GMRS radio for our Jeeps. In wandering around the internet I found a Midland GTX1000 bundle that includes a Midland MicroMobile radio and 2 of their GTX1000 handheld walkie talkies. The Amazon price for this package is $150, which fits our budget...

I've got a random issue with posts: every so often I'll be looking through the forum and someone will have posted something with a photo - but the photo does not appear in the original posting. When someone responds to that post, and the original post is quoted, then I see the photo in the...

So, I'm thinking about adding some custom text to the side of my hood and it looks like pixeldecals.com is a popular choice. Those of you who have dealt with them - how is their quality? Are the decals easy to apply, and do they stay applied? I'd hate to have the decal come off the first time I...

So, I know that the Jeep platform is probably the most popular choice for towing behind motorhomes, and I faithfully follow all the recommendations. But, the engineer in me needs to know what is going on in the transfer case while towing: when the transfer case is in Neutral what exactly is...

So, I admit I'm an old phart - this is the first vehicle I've owned that has the provision to use a thumb drive to store music. My question is: can the music stored on the thumb drive be stored in a hierarchical fashion, like folders for various genres of music, then artists stored in those...

When we bought our 2017 JKU back in September one of the papers we had to sign was one that said to not use tire chains on the vehicle. It said that cable chains were okay, but regular chains were a no-no. Fast forward several months and we buy a 2020 Gladiator to add to the stable - the use of...

We've had our Gladiator for about 3 weeks now and I've got 2 questions I can't find in the manual: 1. How do I get the ignition into the Accessory position? The book says it has an Acc position, but doesn't say how to access it. 2. How do I reset the trip odometer? I'm sure I'll have more...

We have the stock Uconnect 3 unit in our truck - is there a way to have the clock display active without having the radio turned on?
