I have 2 - 2020 Jeeps. One caused me a lot of grief because of battery issues (primarily because the techs at the dealership do not understand the system). The other has been trouble free.
The Jeep system works great as long as the batteries are good. It's only when age and/or usage patterns...
That depends. :) Jeep changed the position of the battery cables after 2020. The safest thing to do is to trace the cables to their origin. The big cable (I believe) will be the main battery ground. I think the small cable will be the negative to the aux battery. The cable end you remove...
If Autozone test the battery without unhooking anything then they are testing both batteries together. The 2 batteries have to be isolated from each other before they can be tested.
Shocks are almost like personal items. What one guy loves is torture to the next. That said, Bilsteins have a reputation (for Jeeps) of being stiff, resulting in a little rougher ride. Over on the TJ forum it was characterized that if you were running Bilstein shocks, and you ran over a...
I run the Toyo 35x11.5r17 on both my jeeps. I love them.
Actual tire sizes may vary.
The 2 tires are near identical in height. The Toyo is a little wider. They weigh nearly the same. The cost (at Tire Rack) are +/- $10. The big drawback to the Baja Boss that I see is that the tire...
My feel good bubble was briefly popped this morning. I took my JLU to get biscuits for breakfast. My dog likes to ride, so I took him too. In fact, my dog likes to hang out the window and I have to hold on to his tail to make sure he stays in the car. I was thus distracted this morning when...
Granted that other vehicles have similar problems. The thing is I have a jeep.
All traditional vehicles that start with a battery will eventually have battery problems. The issue with Jeep is what happens after someone has a problem. The simple fact dealers struggle with diagnosing and...
I kinda don't agree.
The issue with RV'ers and their Jeeps not starting after towing seems to be restricted to Jeeps with LED taillights. Generally, there are multiple factors involved. First, the tow is long (often multiple days) and involves lots of stop and starts. Second, the batteries...
Youse guys write a lot. I have 2 2020 Jeeps. I had battery problems with one of them. The batteries were replaced under warranty (after 4 visits and 6 months). My other Jeep has been trouble free. When I finished my 3 year warranty on it and I needed a new battery, I went with one bigger...
Really? You don't know? Look around at forums for other cars. See if you can find one with a "Battery" section like we have.

I was out with the local Jeep club. It is always an interesting mix of drivers on a ride like this. The green Jeep is a very nice ride. The street tires on it were not made for wet red clay. The son of the owner was driving, and the Jeep slid into the ditch without any input from him. I...
10 Day report since I modded my Jeep:
Everything is working as expected.
My investment accounts are up.
I ran 5 miles today and scored a personal best.
My sex life is much improved.
Peace of mind is important. :)
This thread is winding down. Nothing here lately except old guys talking about being old. We need to change the subject before they start comparing bowel movements. :) Here is one thing that needs to be discussed. Our lead expert on presentation made a spelling/typing error (patron instead of...
