Hey all, I installed a set of Rough Country Powered Side Steps in January 2024. I live in the snow belt in Ohio, so lots of road salt. The drivers side step began to fail to retract in the fall of 2025. I reached out to Rough Country, and after several weeks of emails, videos and a phone...
I've had the ESS problems twice now. Jeep is a 2020, 115,000 miles. I've always let the ESS do its thing. The first failure was in the early summer of 2025. My jeep would die while sitting at a stop light. Had to have it towed to the dealership. They found both the main and aux batteries...
It's the batteries! Just went through this myself. Eventually, your jeep will start failing to even start at all. If you're especially lucky, when your at a busy intersection and your jeep does its shut down thing, it will not fire back up so you can drive off. You'll then have to have it...
Yes, original batteries. But, I do have a plow hooked up. That is the only electrical stuff connected directly to the battery. The plow has been installed for two full years with no issues, so I think the only issue would be the additional draw. I did tell the dealership this, fully...
I'm hoping someone has had this issue and has a fix!
2020 Overland with 75K miles on it. I'm all the sudden having some occasional stalling or not starting issues. It's happened the following ways:
1. Drove for ~20 minutes, parked shut off for another 20 minutes. Got in and tried to start...
Thanks all for your input and soapbox statements. I have my jeep back. In reading through your comments, I guess I left some info out. First off, this was not warranty work, and I wasn't expecting that. However, there did end up being a rear axel recall, so that was good.
My issues with the...
My 2020 Overland is at my local dealership currently for a couple issues. Let me know what you think.
1. Some decent vibrations have started while hitting highway speeds.
- I'm thinking this is either the U-joint is worn out or, a weight came off the driveshaft. I plow with my Jeep...
Western makes an extension/drop bracket to add onto each reciever point of your existing vehicle mount. I've got the 2" mopar lift on my 2020, and had to add this on to mine. I think the kit was around $80. If your Western shop doesn't know about it, try Storks Plows in western PA. They...
Oh, "HF" = Harbor Freight. Duh!!! Never even thought they would have something like that. I'm searching all over the web for a truck accessory company called "HF"! HAHA! Thanks, bud.
Sounds similar to an issue I had. Very soon after installing a Mopar 2" lift, I would hear a clunk over any bump, even 1" driveway lip. Turned out to be a bad Fox shock. Replaced under warranty. I could easily squeeze the shock open and closed between my hands. Solved my issue.
Yup, that's what I meant. Wasn't sure if you full on painted, plati-dipped, or if that was some sort of aftermarket clip on plastic type thing. Thanks!
Enlarging the holes in the front bumper plates is to allow for the nuts with welded on arms to slide through. You fish those in (~12" or so) and the welded on arms stick out through the hole. Give you something to hold onto while you tighten the bolt through the bracket from the outside...
Here is a link to the Western Mount Kit installation instructions for a lifted Gladiator. It's the same no matter what plow you get from Western. II Mount Kit PP Jeep Wrangler 2018-__/Jeep Gladiator 2020-__ #32113 (storksplows.com)
I've got an Overland with a 2" Mopar lift, Teraflex 3/4"...
Looks good. Nice accent of color. I'm assuming you did this for the looks and not really the protection. I don't think you could hit the rim with those big, fat shoes!! I'm kinda thinking about doing this now.
