    My 2018 Wrangler JK Unlimited Sport for Camping Trailer Tow

    Well folks got my 2018 Wrangler JK Unlimted Sport S, completed for towing and now I have the trailer. I took this photo when it was unhitched, but you can get a general idea; how it looks when connected. The information link for the T@B 320 S Trailer is made by Little Guy Trailers. The...

    Navigation not working on 2015 wrangler

    Go onto the Jeep website and see if there is an update for your head unit. YOu can download any fixes to a thumb drive and update it that way. Be sure to have the serial number of the head unit to use on the website.

    Could this be a faulty TIPM?

    Yeah, its the TCM and a wiring harness. The circuits will have to be individually checked, the faulty harness replaced along with the TCM. It is likely fried, so you got a new paperweight if you want i.

    Could this be a faulty TIPM?

    Have you looked at the Transmission Control Module (TCM) as the culprit? Mine went out and it was sudden too. The dealer had to replace the entire unit along with the wiring harness to be safe. For the record, there are 92 circuits in a 2018 Wrangler JK that are controlled by a TCM. That is...

    First time Jeep owner

    Yeah, they are indeed money pits, I have sunk since I got the Wrangler I have about $8,000 into all the upgrades and other stuff I put on it.

    Should Jeep Wranglers wave to Gladiators?

    I have a Renegade besides the Wrangler, I see nothing wrong with it. It will not go into some places the Wrangler will go since it is not the Trailhawk version, but it still gets me from point A to point B. I did put some Toyo Celcius tires on it as the OEM were so lame and soft it frankly felt...

    Will a OX tru-lock locker work with a Prorock 44 axle housing?

    Did you check the Axle fitments? Being new to the Jeep world, I learn as I go, but do you have Dana's? I have a Dana 30 front and a Dana 44 Next Gen axle on the rear. You could check the VIN and see what axles were on it.

    Got hood flutter?

    It was likely done by whoever modified the rig in the first place. There are still things I am discovering with it, I am happy I don't have to put an engine oil and transmission oil cooler on it now. It does have that. That will come handy in the towing department.

    The top one is back quarter view before I put antennas on it. The second one is the view of the mounted antennas. I don't do rock crawling, I am setting it up for RV towing of a travel trailer for off-road camping, so the lockers will be a must in some of the places I will be going. This is...

    Jeep Wrangler River Crossing

    I believe Arizona has a law called something to the effect "The Stupid Idiot". They can be charged for the idiot attempt because it forced emergency services to come out and get them.

    Will a OX tru-lock locker work with a Prorock 44 axle housing?

    What gearing are you running? You might need to upgrade to different gearing. Having done mine, I went to 4.56's because of the tire size as the transmission was basically hunting for the right gearing, but now she drives like a champ and pulls the hills easily now with a downshift to 4th from...

    One of the things I would do is to ensure that the speedo has been calibrated properly. Run a VIN check to see what the original gearing was. It might be 3.21, and if so the taller tires are going to cause you some issues especially in the speeding ticket department. Some things to think about...

    Trac Lok? Differential Fluid Question

    That is the key to keeping a vehicle running. Maintenance. I just put in my 2018 JK front and rear electric lockers, the front end is a Dana 30 axle and the rear is a Dana 44 Next Gen. The original 3.21's were swapped out for 4.56's. Currently on the break-in period, have to drive her for...

    What do you think about 189k for this Gladiator?

    There was one being offered for nearly $200,000 in Arizona. It was stupidly modified with a Hellcat or Demon motor along with other mods. The vehicles are off-road, and frankly, you are nuts to have a motor in that vehicle with that much horsepower. It is just plain stupid, and wherein the heck...

    Got hood flutter?

    My Wrangler is a 2018 JK Unlimted Sport. The Jeep was modified before I got it. I noted the adjustments on the latches and thought they were standard on the Wrangler, but I guess not. They are made from heavy gauge aluminum or steel with an adjustment screw on them.

    Got hood flutter?

    Does any of your hand latches have adjustments to take-up slack? I noted on mine that they have adjustments.

    Help with CB mounts

    Yes, all CB antenna's need to have a coaxial cable. These antenna's that I am running are behind a Galaxy SSB CB that was tuned up by a radio shop out of Phoenix, AZ. Got it through eBay. The truckers I have spoken with, some as far as 15 miles have been surprised by how well I get out with it...

    TPMS in new Gladiator wheels causing issues on my JK

    That is why BMW's are nicked named, "Break My Wallet", however, I call the dealership statement pure BS. I can go to any parts place that sells a battery and get a battery.

    TPMS in new Gladiator wheels causing issues on my JK

    I look at any vehicle modification to have an impact on the vehicle. The computer is used for certain equipage so if that equipage changes out, then the computer has to relearn the vehicle.
