Intermittent No Start Electrical Issue 2013 JKU

I’ve been experiencing a no start issue and I can always tell it’s going to happen because my key fob will not unlock the doors. I’m not sure if it’s a “security system“ issue or not. My BOB batteries are good and I have already been through the whole“hot oil“ no start issue and have replaced my TIPM. Usually when I experienced the doors, not unlocking, I would unlock it manually and put the key in the ignition and turn it so that the horn honking would stop. This time it didn’t stop. Is there a way to reset or reconnect the keys with the Jeep security system? Seriously baffled and frustrated right now.

2014 Jeep JK temperature swinging

Hi everyone! I’m at a total loss with my 2014 Jeep Wrangler JK (3.6L) and hoping someone can point me in the right direction. It randomly started when I parked, came back out, turned it on, and the temp spiked like crazy to 238°F just idling, so I shut it down immediately. I replaced the thermostat with a genuine Mopar unit, and while it stopped overheating, it still climbs up to 228°F before dropping back down. A couple of weeks later I noticed my oil cooler was leaking, so I replaced that assembly too, but a couple of days after that, the temps are still hitting 228°F and constantly swinging back and forth even under a steady cruising load. Since then, I've put in fresh coolant, pressure tested it, and used a vacuum-fill tool to ensure zero air pockets. I've verified the water pump is spinning by checking the return flow, confirmed the cooling fan kicks on high when it gets hot (like after highway driving), and the cabin heat blows scorching hot out of all vents with zero fluctuations. I'm wondering if it could be a failing coolant temp sensor causing these abnormal swings while cruising, or maybe residual oil got into the cooling system when I changed the oil cooler—has anyone else dealt with this or have any ideas on what to check next?

Apple CarPlay Screen

Is anyone rocking an Apple CarPlay screen in their JK and do you have unit and mounting recommendations?

I have 2014 JKU Polar Edition with Unconnet. I know I could just put I new head until in, but this seems easier and perhaps cheaper.

Thanks

Headlights failed; fog lights work

Leaving the garage in the rain, and noticed my headlights flickered and then failed to turn on. Turn signals work, fog lights (replaced with LED fogs) work—thank God—and my high beams worked for just a little bit. Now they don’t work at all. Is this a TIPM failure, or could both of my headlights just miraculously have failed at the exact same time?

BACK after 19 years!

Bought my first brand new 2003 Wrangler Rubicon (white/2 door, hard top, automatic) off the lot….leaving my first purchased 1995 Wrangler YJ (soft top, half door) that died and unable to revive.

It was amazing until I moved to Bay Area in California and had no city parking - had to sell in 2007. Yes I missed it, but in a 98% walking city it was a nice freedom. BUT - moving to the desert down South and was on a mission to “get back” what I lost. Found a 2015 Wrangler Sahara 70,000 miles (white/2 door, hard top, automatic) with 70k for 18k….2 prior owners and long maintenance history of what appears to be “city use”.
- Purchased from dealer online and having it delivered to my new desert home in 2 days!!! I couldn’t be more excited 🧨👍🏾💯

Please ease my mind.. hopefully

So I’m a brand new Jeep owner just picked up a 2012 wrangler and I’m going over everything in more detail and notice 2 giant holes on the bottom of something connected to the oil pan..? I’m not sure what part it is tbh but It looks like purposeful holes, I just was always told there should never be gears showing or ur engines f***ed. Please let me know guys thank you!

Roof Rack& Awning

Hey! Ive got a 2018 Wrangler JK (2dr hardtop) and I would like to get a half rack so I’m able to remove the freedom panels and eventually get an awning- prefer 270°. I understand that some racks may need more support and the awning weight should be taken into account as well-I’m sure some drilling may be required.

So heres the big question…What’s the best affordable rack and awning?

Goodbye (for now) wrangler fam

We sold our wrangler today. 2011 with 142k miles but we only had it for a year and a half. We just needed the space because we already have three other cars and it’s not really practical at the moment. It’s goodbye for now because we plan to get another, newer wrangler in a few years. Something a little lower mileage and more reliable so we can actually take it on trips and trust it on the highway. We don’t have the time or money to dedicate to completely fixing this one up so it just did short trips around town. But it did make us fall in love with jeeps so we can’t wait to rejoin the family down the road!
