Can the AC pressure switch be removed without opening up the refrigerant system? I’m familiar with older systems that utilize a Schrader valve between the pressure switch and the refrigerant line in order to maintain pressure when changing the switch, but I can’t find any information on whether...
I’ve had one JL with aftermarket 7” led headlights (KC) in adapters (adapters are $30 on Amazon) and two JTs with factory LED. The factory LED are exceptional lights. That being said, I never had an issue with the aesthetics or function of the 7” lights (which are much cheaper). My first choice...
It’s good practice to put any vehicle (especially these with undersized aux batteries) on a smart charger once a quarter or so if possible. A $30 battery charger overnight will help prolong the battery life significantly.
The specs on that vehicle would make me inclined to think it was probably a customer order (high trim sport with max tow). I would be inclined to think that it was purchased by an enthusiast and self- maintained (despite Jeep wave oil changes being free, many people, opt to not have the service...
I started having this issue intermittently after I had the HPFP replaced under recall (no failure, 62k miles). My gut feeling was that it had something to do with the software update they did at the time, as oil pressure in these vehicles is a triangulation of sensor data, not reliant on an...
If you’re not in the habit of using 4x4, it’s good practice to shift it into 4h and 4L and least once every 6 mo. Just drive 100 feet or so in a straight line. Don’t drive any more than that unless you’re off pavement (gravel, sand, snow, etc). That’ll get everything, including the cables...
Places that get the hilux and 70 series tend to use those. I’ve been dailying wranglers for 20 years but I’d never look back if the 70 came here (to the USA).
The only question you have to ask yourself is how often you put your arm on the arm rest and go “oh f*ck that’s hot!”. Same amount of times will apply to leather seats. Whoever made that arm rest black leather(pleather) should be fired. I prefer cloth. I have leather and covered them with seat...
I’ve now run both of these racks on my gladiator- xsporter pro and overhaul hd. They’re very different racks and each have an advantage. If you plan to put a rack on and leave it as is, get the Yakima (such as full time RTT). The mounting is cleaner, the weight limits are better and the overall...
I ran 4 OEM fox shocks on my last gladiator and two failed within 15k miles (heavy leakage). The OEM fox are really soft in comparison to just about everything else. Any upgrade there will do you well, but you can’t go wrong with the bilsteins. I chose the ranchos because they’ve served me well...
I have a 3.6 overland with Mojave front springs (stiffest oem JT option) and overland rear springs with airlift 1000 bags set to 30psi in them. The overland has the lower sport flares paired with factory mojave/rubicon 285/70r17 takeoffs. The mojave front springs netted 1.5” of height gain with...
Over the last 8 years and ~225k miles I’ve run quite a few in this range. I’ll rank them in order of best to worst (of what I’ve run) IMO. All are load range C for me and I’d highly recommend not going higher than that

This is what Jeep needs to do if they're serious about reclaiming market share. Offer the 5.7 for a modest price increase and offer it across all trim levels like they did with the 3.0 (sans Mojave in that case).
Every JT I’ve been around leaks a small amount of water from ABOVE the rear window, where the seams of the hard top meet. Most people dont notice it, but it can accumulate. If you want to test yours, tape a small piece of paper towel just above the rear glass and check it after it rains. It’s...
That looks great! I did a full rear seat delete, but opted to focus on something that was incredibly easy to remove and very cheap. I went to my local IKEA’s scratch and dent room, where you can buy former display kitchen countertops and laminated particleboard for ~$10. Cut to size, used the...
From what I was able to piece together on the various forums, it seems like p00AF is almost exclusively noted in areas with long, gradual grades. Have you seen any examples of it happening in the JT/JL outside of these parameters? The quality control aspect is unfortunate, as the engineering and...
This post is specifically for anybody considering an ecodiesel and is looking for real world feedback
I special ordered my Sport S 3.0 in June of 2021, took delivery with 5 miles on it. For 75k miles it was the most enjoyable Jeep I've ever owned. It lived just about the best life that a modern...
Stellantis has the opposite approach: cut corners on quality/r&d and vehemently deny warranty coverage citing neglect/abuse/modification, knowing that most customers won’t pursue litigation. This is the root cause of the financial troubles they’re in; their financial forecast won’t turn around...
