My son hit a curb with his Cherokee. No problem... just put on the spare.... only, there is no spare - just a pump and a bottle of patch goo it sprays in the tire. He ended up having to be towed to a local repair shop. They put what they had on the wheel - a Bridgestone Dueler H/L. The...

I was taking the family out to dinner last night and, when I got in the Jeep, I found this: I immediately accused Son Number 3 - the joker of the group. Wife and Son Number 2 started laughing. Poker faces they don’t have. They told me they got it at the dollar store and I should just throw...

I ordered an X2 that I’m picking up tomorrow at Batteries Plus. X2Power Premium AGM BCI Group 34M Dual Purpose (Starting/Cycling) Marine & RV Battery This seemed like the closest in size to the existing battery. Now I’m thing there’ll be a problem. Aren’t the JK’s terminal’s reversed? Did I...

We´ve had a lot of rain in South Florida and I am having multiple leaks from my soft top... Driver´s B & C pillars and Passenger A & C pillars. I´ve pulled the carpets to allow them to dry out and pulled the drain plugs. Up until a month or so ago, I have never had a problem with my soft top...

ABS & Traction Lights A couple of days ago, the ABS and traction lights started coming on right after I would start driving. They usually go back off within a minute or two and then stay off until the next time I started the Jeep and began driving. I haven’t changed anything on the...

To all my fellow Floridians... stay safe. Remember, that the only thing that can't be replaced are you and you loved ones. Good luck and God's speed. Sent from my iPad using WAYALIFE mobile app

I am using the iPad app. When I turn off the "Daily Pick" push notification, it keeps turning itself back on. The other push options seem to work fine. Does anyone else have this issue? Sent from my iPad using WAYALIFE mobile app

I swapped my soft top for my hard top a couple of weeks ago. We then had eight days of rain. Needless to say, the hardtop leaked around the freedom panels. I had standing water in the front and rear floorboards. It's not the first time this has happened (again, no surprise). I pulled the...

I had been told to check out Loop Road in Big Cypress Preserve about an hour west of downtown Miami. Tamiami Trail was a road built in the 1920's connecting Miami to Florida's west coast. The Loop Road was an alternative route that was not used. It remains today as about a 24 mile long road...

We used to say the world was held together with duct tape and baling wire. I guess it's now zip ties. [AIT sensor connector keeps popping off. Not anymore.]

When you forget that the last 4x4 is twelve feet long, not eight.

From Forbes, with "help" from Consumer Reports - Cars to Avoid I think they have a something against Jeeps in general: 5 - Compass 6 - Patriot 7 - Wrangler http://www3.forbes.com/business/15-new-cars-to-avoid/8/

So, I was doing about 80 or 85 down the interstate and noticed a gap between the passenger side of the soft top and the door surround. It wasn't there at 75 but every time I sped up, it reappeared. I don't know if it was on the driver's side or not (I wasn't going to try to look over the...

I have noticed a clunk in my right front end. It seems to happen when I take turn over a bump (like a driveway curb). I jacked up the front end. There was no slop when I tried to move the wheels. All the bolts are properly torqued. The only thing I noticed is that the tie rod and track...

I have a 2015 JKU Sahara. I hydrolocked it at about 8000 miles - the pothole was deeper with a sharper drop-off than I expected. And, I was going to fast when I hit it. The insurance company replaced the engine (less the deductible) and I learned a lesson. Since I got it back, however, I've...

I'm doing some work that involves drilling holes (about 3") through some body panels. Is it sufficient to paint the edges and chips with touch-up or should I do something more?

Wave from South Florida. I have a 2015 Sahara Unlimited. The engine is a 2016. Seems the "puddle" was a little deeper than I thought and my speed was a little more than I thought. Yep, I hydrolocked it... and it only had 5,000 miles on it. Lesson learned.
