I may have a solution to help with your inverter not liking the variable voltage put out by the alternator. I have two 100ah LiFePO4 batteries in my bed powering my accessories and I have a RedArc BCDC40 to charge them. My alternator voltage can be at 12.5V but the RedArc conveys it to 14.4 to charge the batteries. My volt gauge will show 12.5V and the Victron on my battery setup will show 14.4V and 35A going into the batteries. The attached photo shows it in action. The reading is for battery outage not input

Wow 100k!

For your headlights I have my stock housings just sitting in my garage after I swapped to LEDs. Shoot me a message and I’ll be willing to let them go at cost of shipping, I haven’t had any luck trying to sell them locally and I’d rather not throw them away.

Great writeup. I am REALLY happy about the brakes

Please tell me that you bought the 7 year unlimited mileage warranty and that you’re gonna go for it

That wasn't available when I bought mine I did get the engine for life though

So far this thing is running super strong I use the m.o.a bg oil additive in every oil change and m.o.a fuel cleaner every 40,000-50,000 miles

I'm looking forward to the 150k and 200k reports!

My old JK 3.8 is inching up on 150k, but it ain't no Pentastar! It's been a good one, though. Took me 13 years to get there. I think you did 100k in what, 10 months? Wow!

Amazing and damn that's some seat time in such a short period.
FCA should reach out to you if there are at all interested in how their product performs in the rear world.
What does the front of your door hinges and rear fenders look like after those miles?

Did any rattles start anywhere?
Also when you finally wear that thing out are you getting another one or something different?

Take care and stay safe!

In a different life when I was in sales, I once put 130k on a car in 18 months.

curious...are you considering an upgrade to a diesel at some point?

also, why the need to idle the truck at -15. I live in that shit....but we never need to do that here. Although, block heaters are used by some. I have had a few cars with them and they work superbly.

I won't get the diesel not impressed with the tow capacity
I sleep in my gladiator and 95% of the time no access to power I will idle below 21 deg so I sleep better
