I’m 65 years old and was able to install the MOPAR lift in my driveway in 4.5 using a floor jack only on my JT Overlander. With steel aftermarket front bumper I netted 2.5” all the way around. Back was too high for me so I reinstalled the stock springs with 3/4 Daystar spacers, another 1 hr...

When I installed my controller months ago I noticed similarly that the center of the controller dash button was not spring loaded. Then realized I had not properly aligned the slot and pin when installing it. Id not properly aligned the unit snaps in place, but doesn’t set fully. Once...

Wow guys. Maybe I can help?.... Assuming one doesn't change the laws of Physics or the Earth's gravitational forces exerted, Renegage is correct in that PRELOAD is done on coil overs without any weight on them. When setting up coil overs, typically 1" of preload is dialed in as a good starting...

Haven’t noticed any discussions about your build date, or if there was any dealer added lift etc. installed. My thoughts are; Steering Wander - can be a subjective subject. H 1) check air pressure as suggested. 2) even if there’s no play in steering, crawl under and see if you have the...

Forum Members, in the interest of broadening awareness I offer the following. I've seen some posts where people have had some strange and/or intermittent gauge problems. Here's a bulletin i just received from Auto Service Professional. This bulletin applies to 2020 Jeep Gladiator vehicles...

As a follow up to my previous post. After vehicle sat without use for 48hrs I again had the Start/Stop not ready battery charging”. Took 20 miles of non-stop driving before I got a “ready” message and ESS started working. When engine running voltage is 14.4-14.6/7, when ESS activates voltage...

JDMWIFI, I have a 2020JT, delivered on 10/25, with 1600 miles. Most of these miles were put on in the 1st month since this is a 4th vehicle I currently have registered. Therefore, with it benign down for all the mods once the newness of the purchase subsided, I've only been driving it locally...

Mood lighting ----Mine also controls the little LEDs in the center console cup holder. I think this is an FCA gimmick on all their cars. Our 2012 300 has it as well, it has more of these little LEDS in door handles, pull pockets, center console cup holders, etc.

It's not the slow leak that causes the blow out or problem, it's the low pressure when the tire is driven on and the tire reaches below the required load rating that creates the blow out, typically from an overstressed sidewall. I've personally seen tires run low pressure, but still "drivable"...

As I mentioned, I've seen all kinds of combinations, maybe I should have added, "and all kinds of things done". Many years ago I too would plug a tire from the outside, like the ones you mention. . But my comment about it's all OK until it fails still holds. Some may experience failure some may...

No insult or any negative thoughts perceived on my end in your questioning. Yours was a perfectly valid question. I hesitated to respond with all that "credential stuff" for fear that I might think you offended me or worse offend you. However, I felt it was important to offer my credentials only...

Hi AnavinIV, A couple of data points in response to your post. 1) I've been officially out of the tire retail business for 10 years. However, I still own equipment, do all of my own work, maintain contacts with suppliers, manufacturers, get newsletters and other tire professional...

Thanks! The tires are 285/65/18, SL116 Toyo Open Country ATIII and match stock diameter of 32.2". By doing this I got a: 1) 1" wider tire which fits properly on the factory 18x 8" wide wheels, remains within the fender well, 2) is only 9lbs heavier than the stock 255/70/18 AS, - reducing...

Kool Toys, I owned a tire business for several years. I'm not saying that a 35 x 12.5 x 20 won't fit on a 8" wide wheel. I've seen all kinds of combination done. However, min recommended wheel width for that tire is 8.5", the ideal is 10" and max is 11". Putting them on an 8" wheel will cause...

Kool Toys - In concept I agree. Looked at this when doing mine. Problem is the 18" x 35s, as far as I know, come 35 x 12.5 x 18, requiring wider wheels, and are usually higher (C, D or E) load rating. In doing a quick search the only available 18" tire which comes close to 35" and fits on the...

DS10S86, Your goals seem very similar to mine, looking for a more mature ride without sacrificing reasonable off-road capabilities. The kid in me pushed for the Rubicon due to it's cool factor, the mature adult wanted to replace my older Lincoln SUV. After reviewing the Overland vs Rubicon vs...

Hauled a 1949 Ford Pickup Hood from Phoenix to Atlanta, under the bed cover with the tailgate closed!

Hi ShadowPapa, I sent this is a post back on 10/3, for your database, it may have been overlooked. a) Build Date: 8/20 b) Model Overland c) LED Lighting d) Blind Spot/Cross Traffic e) Trailer Tow Package f) ACC/Forward Collision g) Automatic High/Beam and Headlights h) Stop/Start i) Cold...

Hi All, As others have recently suggested, given the mixed results, I would highly recommend once you get the switch installed into the dash panel and that panel reinstalled, clamp the controller to the frame somehow, connect the wires, and test the system. If it fails at this point, avoid...

Hi All, I finished in the installation of both the Accessory Switch Key and the Factory Controller today. It should be noted, because I was doing 2 upgrades simultaneously, I did all the physical prep work for the brake controller and ACC Switch but held up making electrical connections for...
