The part i'm talking about breaking is the plastic part below the seat and not the seat itself. The bracket is bolted to the seat so it won't go anywhere there. The plunge part of the lock goes into metal bracket and the lock itself is bolted to the plastic. It will break, but would take a...
Just my 2 cents.... I don't think you will find anyone that will say "go for it; you'll have zero issues" or something to that effect, but I have seen a JT pulling a car on an u-haul trailer down an interstate. They weren't running 70 by any means, but it works. I'd be more concerned of what...
Basically what @gerky18 said, not really a good place to anchor to the seat frame. I have also got use to mine as well. After some time with it I have gotten use to it and I really loved it throughout the summer/top off season. It was super sturdy and no one bothered it. So far so good!
@ShrimpHappens - I tow a 7x16 enclosed trailer that's rated at 7K# with tandems. It is never loaded up to that point, probably in the 4-5k range. I have no issues. I have a JT Overland with Standard Tow Package.
A few points I'd note for you:
*Speed-I would not run 70 mph down the...
I was getting really excited by this as it appeared to be an easy fixed! Went to the forum post/link and the original poster said the white part went back to the previous position and didn't work (Post #4). Can anyone else speculate on this?
I'm at 24K miles. Once it goes out of warranty...
The sad part is the TSB is out to let the dealership know they won't get reimbursed back because it's a "customer initiated" problem. I know some getting it covered under warranty work, but not sure how it's be coded on the dealership end. Still going to create my own connectors once I'm out...
Got a '20 Alpine, and I do have occasional issues, but it's no different from any of the other vehicles I have had.
One note I'll add is on mine, it's constantly storing music on your preset channels. For example, When I go to a present channel, it would always start at the beginning of a song...
When I'm at home, I leave it naked most of the late spring through early fall. It does get parked at night in a garage, but while I'm at work, I use the Mopar Cabcover. If I'm going somewhere where I will be away from my JT I throw the Cabcover on. When at the beach, I take the doors and top...
Yes-I believe that is the error i got as well. Does the dome light come on when you open the door? More than likely you have bent pins. They only have to be slightly bent to not work. Mine was bent ever so slightly, but still didn't work. Barely moved them around and BAM, it worked.
Take...
Got a JT; love the beach, so why not a drive to the outer banks for a JT drive on the beach? Let the family play in the ocean for the day and do some driving around on and off road all doorless/topless.
With that said any pointers for driving out there? Got a plan to go to a southern NC Beach...
Here is a video to explain how the connector works:
Starting at around the 4:54, shows how the connector works.
What I do differently is I take the harness off the kick panel so I can hold both sides of the harness in each hand both when removing and putting it back together. The biggest...
Super annoying, but I guess it's just one of those things you have to live with. I have been researching new connectors and have found some. I wonder why some of the pins are bigger than the others on the factory harness. And if i need to carry that through on a new one.
Interesting-Most people are reporting that it doesn't work pretty much upon hookup. Strange that it would happen later. Only thing I can think of there is maybe a pin isn't making a good connection or just 'laying' on top of the female connecter and not 'in' the connector. Either way it's...
One thing I do is take off the plug that is attached to the kick panel. This way I can hold both harness in my hand and place them together as straight as possible.
Since posting, I only had to readjust the pins once, and that was the first time I unplugged/plugged it back since leaving the dealer. If I recall correctly, that was Labor day weekend. It was barely bend, and with a slight adjustment, it started working. Since then I have had the doors off a...
I went with an OEM knock off. I wasn't a fan of the OEM bright red Jeep logo. Mainly went with this for the drain holes.

Cool! It looks great! Is it stealing if you admit to it? :)
It's so simple and it works. I want to put something on the metal bars that are coming from the seats. Right now they don't feel great when you hit your head on them or scratch your arm on them. Thinking PlastiDip.
