Duecius Maximus, a build...

[Duece McCracken]

Well, pushed the tank a bit too far, and too hard on the throttle. Didnt reset after last fill, and actually ran out of gas! Lmfao

I didn't have an accurate mileage, so now Im waiting for a gascan to be dropped off. Happened in the best case scenario. Just cruising over to the bagel joint, low speed, big shoulder.

I started laughing once I was losing power, there she goes!

Due for another oil change.

Still have the rock rails to paint then install.

Moved to a new home and have been spending all my time on house things, havnt set up the new garage yet. Its just loaded with stuff making it hard to find anything, lol

Oil change in the new garage. Old oil was dark but no debris in it thst was noticeable. I shine a high power led into the drain pan as I transfer to the disposal jug. No glitter that I could notice. Filter had a flake on it, tiny. Could have just been a casting piece, was not concerned.

 

[Duece McCracken]

I just remembered that I have fluid to change the trans and transfer case. I'm going to try and get that done in the next week or two.

Swapping to Redline.

Well, I'm officially a Jeeper. Crack is a few inches past the brown duck at this point. Will get it replaced at some point.

My media player is acting up. 20 second delay for the song titles to display correctly. Huge input delays too. I run music off a usb, so there are not many variables here.

Im going to pull the fuse and try to force a reset, see if that helps. Right now, very disappointed. Not even 20k miles and its messing up this badly. Wtf.

Damn almost 20k?

Been a year for me and I'm at 13,300

I did buy it to drive it, lol!

I think I put under 1k on the Bullitt this year. Just easier to take the Jeep. That and the Mustang running on E85, which makes getting fuel tough outside my area.

Yeah, I'm hoping this isnt the start of more infotainment gremlins.

Yeah I work remote, so all of my mileage is from road trips

Ahhhhh! Yeah I commute daily, then take some trips to upstate NY. I wish I could work from home.

UPDATE!!!

Seems my sandisk usb flash drive has some issues! got 5 years out of it, lol. Replacing with a newer and faster one. In the process of formatting and moving my music to another one. Once that is done I can fully confirm that Stellantis is in the clear on this one, lol

Also, I bought these.

It's a pretty common issue, so I figured it's be an easy install and some preventative means.

 

[Duece McCracken]

Additionally, I had pulled the radio and usb fuses for a few min. Just to try and force a reset of the infotainment.

After installing the "new" flashdrive everything is back to normal!!

Finally tinted the license plate lamps.

Bought a tiny sheet of Lamin-x, cut to fit, cleaned lens and installed.

I'll see in the morn if its that sweet spot.

Initial impressions, it took the edge off for sure. Reverse camera view is much better.

 

[Duece McCracken]

Installed the Metalcloak rear swaybar mount brackets.

81 ft/lbs for the upper swaybar endlink bolt if my research was correct, lol


Geez, I keep forgetting I have a set of rock guard side steps to refinish and install. I may just get them linex-ed or something. I have some elaborate plan of paint and bedliner with some extra grit for the top, but It is probably going to be poo poo ca-choo to do. Maybe I'll outsource this. I did buy all the stuff though. Decision time.

 

[Duece McCracken]

Black friday. Oomph.

Also got Metalcloaks FAD skid.

https://metalcloak.com/jl-wrangler-front-axle-disconnect-fad-skid-plate.html

Going to have a bit of wiring to do.

 

[Duece McCracken]

Ugh, bought the Voswitch 800 or whatever. 8 relay grab handle guy. To help sort out this lighting control.
