I have been having random issues with my USB connection working related to Android Auto. I replaced my phone, cables, and even tried the rear USB C ports. Issue: Random non-working Android Auto when connecting at vehicle startup or when not previously connected. Intermitent and difficult to...

Where was the sludge? Was it not apparent at oil changes?

My impression and opinion is because of the experience I've had from the beginning. At 3500mi, the battery had a bad cell. The tech at the dealer told me they have had a lot of those on the aux batteries. Then at about 4300 miles, TIPM failed in a way related to the S/S system. Now I'm at the...

Sure. NHTSA has a history of approving programs that increase the risk of strandings as well as cascading issues. I've had one battery go bad, but they also had to replace the TIPM related to the ESS/Auto Start/Stop. And, it is more than simple social media amplification. It is in my own social...

I'll say it... It is insane to me that a modern vehicle, costing more than $60k sticker, needs a battery tender to remain reliable. Yeah, I get that there are more parasitic draws from the factory. However, allowing a vehicle past the engineering phase with that as an acceptable condition is...

Eagle is right, on both fronts. The rule of thumb is 10%-15% of total trailer weight on the tongue. I am a fan of the Jayco products and nearly purchased one before we went the Motorhome and flat tow route. I have a modified Rubicon, so not the capacity you have. I also like the two axle...

Ride Report: We took the rig around our neighborhood and can report that the system worked well, as expected. We had a way to watch the system from inside the Jeep and it released and braked when I expected it to.

I have an answer: When Roadmaster talks about "active braking" they are speaking of a form of electric assist. The example that the tech gave me was that if the brake pedal remains soft with the power off on the vehicle, it has an active braking system. The test he gave me was that you want the...

That's what I was thinking which makes the fact that they call it out in many places in their documentation strange. This is why I am thinking it means something other than the auto-braking systems based on proximity. I'll update the thread after speaking with their techs as others may benefit...

Yeah, the aux braking system for flat towing. That's the tricky bit. That's all they say. "Active Braking" and that some newer vehicles have it, even when the vehicle is off.

I am trying to figure out if the Jeep Gladiator has an "active braking" system the way Roadmaster defines it for their brake systems... Does anyone know what they mean?

I went with the Roadmaster hidden base plates on my Rubicon with the steel bumper. To make the winch fit, I used the bulldog base plate, but had it modified to fit inside of the inner flanges of the baseplates. The method used ended up making the winch plate stronger than when I got it given...

Had the issues. For me, I had a stored message of stuck starter solenoid, which was caused by a bad battery. They took the battery out and found a bad cell. So, New battery replaced and the Start/Stop is actually useful now. It shuts off while I am in line in the drive-thru and ordering. I had...

I'm giving this some thought... Also, the video shows how easy it is to remove the fenders... something I didn't know: https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/compressor-mounts-accessories/10013-grimm-offroad-arb-twin-compressor-mounting-bracket-kit

Thanks for the info! I have the Even brake from Roadmaster. I think that using the Cool Tech along with the way the EB signals the brake action in the RV cab will work out well. Too bad you aren't out here in Minnesota or I'd invite you over to supervise the installation and drink some frosty...

I've looked at this as well and ended up buying the diode kit, but the only thing I've done is run the 4-way wires to the driver's rear brake light cavity. I haven't cut into any wiring yet. How long is the 4-way wire whip that comes out of the control box? I like the way I have the 6-line plug...

Back to your original question, I was wondering the same thing. For me, I will be tracking the miles as TOAD miles. This will help with things that are worn based on travel not work. I'm thinking tire rotations, greasing and lubrication on the drive systems down side of the T-Cased, etc. Brakes...

Long time without a post. I'll share what I have done so far and where the open questions are for me. I went with the Roadmaster bracket setup without the crossover : https://www.etrailer.com/Base-Plates/Roadmaster/RM-521453-5.html (I purchased mine direct from Roadmaster) I went with the...

Hello Fellow Owners, We are planning to flat tow our 2020 JTR behind a very capable Class A motorhome. (8,000# towing) What I have not yet figured out is how to find a base plate that won't get beat up on the trail. Does anyone have any ride reports or suggestions? Thanks! Brad

I just confirmed, they are sold. I'll be marking this post as sold. Thank you for your interest.
