    Describe this JK in five words or less

    5 words or less, you say... I'm glad it's not mine. No wonder it's for sale. Why did they do that? Report stolen and burn it.

    LED Headlights

    I can say with absolute confidence that you will not find a better value for aftermarket 7" LED headlights than the Sunpie brand sold on Amazon. I have them on my Harley & our 2015. You simply cannot find a better light for the price, and you likely cannot find a better light for more money...

    Very upset that car wash damaged my Jeep

    I quit drinking 6 months ago and since then, I've learned 2 things for certain: 1- I'm not this fat because of beer. 2- I'm not this broke because of beer.

    Regrets on the wheels and tires I bought?

    That's what I'm running; take off's from a 2020.

    Did I buy a used Lemon?

    I'd find the time to drive it back to Denver and take the seller (private party or dealer, you didn't say) for a ride in it.

    Regrets on the wheels and tires I bought?

    I don't think you can do better than KO2's on a mostly-street-driven Jeep. That's what I'm running on both of ours. I'm not a fan of the rim choice. No offense meant, they just do not inspire me. I'm sure they will serve the purpose just fine, especially after you lift the JK.

    Very upset that car wash damaged my Jeep

    My neighbor installs and works on car washes... he said to ALWAYS call out a top roller retract if you have a rack. He also said that competent operators already know this.

    Hood / windshield stone protection

    Not "immune" per se, but mile-for-mile, the Wranglers in our stable seem to go through windshields at a much higher rate than any other vehicle we have owned. Exponentially higher repair/replacement rate. Maybe they use softer glass than others... ? Being flat doesn't help, but the flat...

    My money is still on the battery clamps and the oil pressure wiring harness... 😬

    Hood / windshield stone protection

    Well, they call them "bug shields" not "rock & debris shields"... I found a source for a clear overlay for only about $250 if I recall. I'll dig it up and post here for folks to review, criticize, etc.

    In short, the OEM clamps are stamped, folded over, sheet metal. They only grip the battery post along the thin lines where the sheet metal contacts the posts. In addition, the clamping mechanism is that cone washer which is supposed to tighten the clamp when the nut is tightened down. More times...

    Have you replaced the shitty OEM battery clamps yet? Don't replace ANYTHING else until you do that.

    Limp mode

    “Were” is the relevant word here…

    Limp mode

    Did you repair the crumbling wire harness at the oil pressure sending unit yet? The exposed conductors will randomly short against one another resulting in CEL, limp mode, and as many codes as you can count.

    Hood / windshield stone protection

    If my calculations are correct, the lack of ANY aerodynamic design actually creates a localized vacuum directly in front of the Wrangler windshield at speeds greater than 35MPH...

    Hood / windshield stone protection

    That’s kind of what I figured; they might work well to redirect bugs, but probably not very effective on stones & debris.

    Hood / windshield stone protection

    So when we bought the JKU the windshield was pitted pretty badly and I replaced it. 2 weeks after installing it, my BIL shoved a longboard in the Jeep from the back and shattered the new windshield. That’s when I upgraded to the Gorilla glass. The cost at that time was $750, more than double...
