Greetings everyone. I have 5 matching wheels/tires with the spare under the bed. I also still have my original steel spare with OEM “AT” rubber on it. I also have the mopar gutter-mount cross bars (got them for a very cheap price, aware of the 150lb limitation) soon I am heading on a trip to...

Passenger front door on my 22 Sport has developed a click when opening or closing it. Doesn’t sound bad enough to me to be worried about something significant being compromised. Just reporting in, sounds like it’s a Jeep thing for now with no fix?

You’re saying the ESS=OFF state persists across ignition ON/OFF cycles? That would be the opposite of how it’s typically described, and my personal experience. If I turn off ess via the button (light on the button illuminates). When I power the truck down and then restart it, ess is back in the...

“Food is worthless” (because one time I got a bad burrito).

Just in case you’re still curious, here are the indicators for 4 hi and 4 lo

Yes, my sport base has a 4wd in orange when in 4hi. Not on the 3.5 inch display. I believe it’s a dedicated spot/lamp on the left side of the display.

Another 2022 base sport here, built last winter, tailgate locks with the key.

Wow brother, you really had to go out of your way to misread the original post in a way that offends you. We all “hear what we want to hear” to some extent, but that’s a bit of a stretch. I am also puzzled by the “I sure am glad to be done with those 3 free walks through a minefield, I’ll be...

Then I must’ve misunderstood your question. No matter, sounds like the OP found a solution.

The team’s radios were using a “privacy” code, DCS or CTCSS, don’t remember. In order to have their units let my transmission through to the speaker, my transmission has to carry the same squelch code. Their unit is using a squelch code as a gatekeeper, only letting them hear transmissions that...

What each brand calls a “channel” and squelch “code” can vary. I bike with a MTB group that uses “channel 13” on their generic Chinese radios with no screen. My midland can hear them on my channel 10, but it wasn’t until I got my squelch set to 67 that I was able to get them to hear me. It took...

Not 100% on Android, but Apple CarPlay can be made wireless by buying a wireless adapter. The adapter is plugged into the USB port in the Jeep, then the phone connects to the adapter.

I’m not the OP, just adding my experience with using USB in relation to silencing the radio.

I listen to music from my USB stick all the time (my input is always on USB). But when I start the truck, 75% of the time it switches back to Radio. Pretty annoying. My routine most days: 1. Get in truck and start it 2. Put into reverse, drive 3 feet 3. Realize it’s switched back to radio 4...

Sorry man, no offense meant. It is just a silly internet joke. Since your user name is “radio guy” and you’re posting correct info about radio use, hence your username is accurate as to your interest in this topic.

User name checks out.

“Transmissions that do not have the correct tone are not heard”…by you, the person that has the tone activated. You cannot transmit a message that can’t be heard by other people. A privacy code on your radio set to channel 1 squelch 142 forced your radio to ignore all transmissions on channel 1...

Just to get on the same page, those aren’t privacy channels. If you’re on 1-12, anyone on channel 1 can hear you. It’s only that you won’t hear them unless they’re sending on 1-12. Just so nobody is thinking their conversation is private just because you’re using one of the “privacy” codes.

I have a license as well, but the whole callsign after a transmission seems like a joke. What’s stopping someone from hearing my transmission and then using my call sign for the next 5 years when they use the more powerful channels?

That mini skid looks awesome! Where did you get it? Or was it DIY?
