    Could this be a faulty TIPM?

    Well, that was interesting, but then again the instrument cluster is a computer unit itself. There is virtually no direct connection with regards to an old fashioned speedo cable like the old days. All of the instrumentation is electronic and receives its data from the TCM. Much like the...

    Transmission RPM goes up will not shift and ABS, brake, and traction light is on

    Was the wiring harness replacement connected to the TPM module related to that in some way?

    What gear ratio for 37s?

    I have 35's on my JK. When I decided to upgrade, I went all the way with full electric locker diff's front and rear. I used 4.56 gearing and had the work done at my local 4WP store in Norcross, Georgia which took about 2 days to complete. An advantage over the mechanical lockers is you have...

    Looking for ideas on how to get roof rack wiring lights through hardtop

    Have you looked at routing the cable through an area that may have some cabling or other support services going through it?

    Backup camera activation

    When making adjustments we all have to remember to write down the current settings. Nothing worse than breaking the computer and ending up with a 4,500 paperweight Jeep.

    That impossible little rear window sprayer

    Never ceased to be amazed where car parts come from. Anyone when buying a new vehicle can look at the window sticker and shows the percentage of parts by country used in that vehicle.

    Backup camera activation

    I use the ICAR PRO BLUETOOTH LE and can testify to the functionality of that with the JScan. It is small enough to keep in the Glove Box so if you have a concern you can do a diagnostic in a parking lot if needed. It is available off of Amazon.Com, but with the Coronavirus issues going on at...

    Question for South Carolina residents: A/T tires or M/T tires?

    Having lived in South Carolina while in the military, the A/T will be sufficient. But, and a big but if you plan on playing "swamp submarine", then yeah the M/T type would be a good idea. As you will find, the "Low Country" can be really low. :sleep:

    ABS & TC lights: C101 and C1047 codes

    I believe that when it comes to replacing parts on any Jeep that especially involving components that have to "talk" to the computer, the best option is to purchase OEM. An issue faced by us tinkers is the ability of the replacement device to talk properly (communicate) with the computers in the...

    Do I need to upgrade anything for 37s on a daily driver?

    On the gearing, you will need above a 4.56 gear to have performance that you need. The Clayton people can look into that for you. I run 35's and have 4.56 Eaton Electronic Lockers front and rear on my rig as I do tow an RV Travel Trailer.

    A Better Location for CB Radio Antenna's

    These are the photos of the new mount on my JK, the left side view and close-up. Both are similar. I used a right-angle adaptor to make things easier.

    A Better Location for CB Radio Antenna's

    Hey guys, I wanted to give you a lead on getting better CB Radio antenna mounts that will allow you to have a shorter cable lead from the CB Radio to the mounting position. I found them on eBay and have tested them and they come in two flavors. Right side mounting and the Left Side Mounting. I...

    LED headlight flicker on Jeep Wrangler Renegade

    It will sound kind of strange but the voltages have to be adjusted in the system to support the LED's. I observed an odd setting in the JK Wranglers, but for the Renegade, I have not tinkered with that.

    Where can I find these headlights? (Flat bottom DRL)

    Is the grill just from Xprite? Are the headlights maybe being from somewhere else?

    My 2018 Wrangler JK Unlimited Sport for Camping Trailer Tow

    As a young child, I would with my family visit Sliding Rock. Was and still is a fun place to do a stop at. Watched one girl lose her bikini bottom while on the way down, and some kid holding it up, "MAMA! What is this?!"
