Used to be a saying “The only stupid question is the one not asked”. That’s actually a good use of the forum being as there are aftermarket suppliers and dealers on this site that may know an answer to your questions as well as plenty of people on here willing to share their opinions. :giggle...

Bed outlet won’t run of the power tailgate lock (12volt) wiring. There will be a small inverter in the truck that inverts 12 volt battery power to 110 volt ac and carry that power through a dedicated set of wires to the bed outlet and a/c outlet in the console. As someone else pointed out about...

Unfortunately Murphy likes to have fun with Jeep owners. I had my JK for 3 months when my rear view mirror came off in my hand and spidered the windshield. I didn’t call @JeepCares but I called the dealer. Was told not under warranty. Went to Safelite and got a new one put in and a week later, a...

JT, JL & JK are all 5 on 5 from what I understand. I heard the same as @homerun run said, JL rims have more offset so the wheels are tucked under a hair more hence the 245’s instead of 255 width tires. If you have an extra set of rims for a JK that you like you should be able to put them on...

Go to Craigslist or FB and buy a set of rims cheap from someone who bought bigger tires and rims on their way home. JK rims (if they fit) go for $100 for 5 with sensors all the time. Paint those however you want and put the original rims in the corner of the garage. When your lease is up, put...

I agree and disagree. Sort of in the same boat with dealers not wanting to give me squat for my JK. Jeep flooded the market with the JL’s so I can’t blame the dealer for not offering high value on the JK’s when they’re having to offer $5k off of JL’s because their lots are flooded with jeeps...

Ever since then I’ve employed the same logic to every car purchase. Don’t dress scrubby on purpose but don’t dress up either. Just wear casual clothes and the salesmen that are quick to judge or dismiss me by my attire at not the ones I want to talk to anyway. Almost always there is at least one...

Funny story to lighten the mood. Although I don’t have anywhere near the income of my brother in law with his Ferrari, plane , helicopter and Harley’s, I did get to have some fun with him one day... my sister had her heart set on a Jaguar at a local dealer and went to look at it but when the...

Did this on a VRod forum years ago and it’s fun once it gets going. Someone put roller coaster so I went to six flags parking lot and got a pic of a coaster in the background. Another challenge was live horses with the iron horse and several farm pics popped up. Big a** flag was shot in front of...

Was just curious more than anything. Kinda wondering why FCA hasn’t used turbos more. Granted the Raptors are full sized trucks like their F-150 siblings they’re based on but both use turbo V6 engines with pretty good pulling power. Other companies are using turbos as well to get 6 cylinder mpg...

This would be my question to those more modernly mechanically minded ( I did votech in the 80’s and a lot has changed since then) 1) so TFL said towing suffered at altitude with the naturally aspirated pentastar and would be better with the turbo 4 in that arena. 2) between my JKU and my...

Which Jamboree is that? I’m sure they’ll be making the rounds all year like the JL’s did last year.

True. Just spitballing an idea out there.

Another thought as far as design costs (standing in the garage looking at my 2dr JK)... What about taking the same JLU frame as they did for the J6 concept using same front half as the JL including 2dr fold and tumble seat but end the cab 19” behind the front door w/same 5’ bed as gladiator...

Another plus to the J6 idea would be that they could do a base trim for fleet sales (I worked at two different places where they only bought compact/mid sized regular cab pickups for their fleet) and then a rubicon version for general public decked as simple or loaded as a customer wanted to be...

Hey @JAY I noticed on the equipment codes they have one that says.... “DO NOT USE - SEE JP, KA CLASSES (JAY)” and it has X’s marking sport and overland trim levels.... So are you trying to tell use to only order rubicons and not to order a sport or overland?? :giggle::LOL::CWL::dance:

Also noticed remote proximity entry says m/h GX4 ; n/a w/GCH. Not seeing either code. Guessing GX4 is power locks and GCH is manual locks codes on itemized build sheets?? Found GX4 = keyless Go Didn’t find GCH

Did notice something else on there.... to get dual top you MUST HAVE soft or hard trifold tonneau or roll up tonneau. Can’t by a dual top truck without adding one of THEIR tonneau covers. Thought about doing dual top but I’m waiting for one of the aluminum bed covers that rolls up into the box...

Lots of options available for ya. For my previous Jeep 4dr I did like OP and mounted 4 pulleys to the ceiling and made a square rack the size of the top. Ran plastic coated wire from that through the pulleys to one metal ring then ran one cable from the ring through a pulley at the top of the...

Stupid question and maybe a little off topic but I’ve seen the ads for USAA and as you said “need to be active duty, veteran OR FAMILY MEMBER “ I never served but my dad was navy vet. Is USAA available to people like myself ??
