    Automatic Emergency Braking!

    Well, I found it in the big screen under settings and it can be turned off. Jeep calls it FCW for forward collision warning! My Wrangler Sport S does have adaptive cruise control and the radar sensors must be used for the FCW too. Tech is good until it isn't.

    Automatic Emergency Braking!

    I bought my Wrangler from dealer inventory so it came with what the dealer ordered. It's a Sport S and it does have Adaptive Cruise Control and I think the Forward Collision Warning is part of it.

    Automatic Emergency Braking!

    I don't have the front and rear sensors or the lane departure sensor. I looked for a button and can't find one.

    Automatic Emergency Braking!

    I have had this auto emergency braking "flashing red BRAKE" happen a few times now when the Jeep doesn't thinking I'm stopping aggressively enough in traffic. Can this be disabled? I am not opposed to safety features but this is going to get me rear ended in traffic. Does it disable itself off...

    First Jeep. A new 2 door Wrangler Sport S. Live Oak Florida and the infamous Suwannee River.

    I have had a lot of 4WD's but not for off-roading except my very first one that was a 1970 Toyota FJ40. It was 1975 and it was in the back of a dealership in the weeds with a few other trade ins that had found a place to die. Nobody currently at the dealership even knew what was wrong with it. I...

    VIDEO : SIMPLE TIP to Get UNSTUCK

    Can of worms! The JL Sport S (2 door) front bumper isn't made for a winch. Once I get a steel bumper I can get a winch. Even the lower cost bumpers and winches will set me back $900+-. I have already discovered that JEEP stands for Just Empty Every Pocket!

    JL trailer wiring harness installation

    I'll have to get some dielectric grease. The pins are good and it plugs together uo to about 1/16th of an inch (or even less. I can see that the plug latch(?) is so close to dropping behind the ramp and the red wedge should slide in easily if it does. I even got my micrometer out to measure the...

    JL trailer wiring harness installation

    I was installing the Curt trailer wiring harness in my Jl this afternoon and the factory tail light plugs were difficult to come apart. The red connect locks opened easily but I had a difficult time getting the plugs back together and the red locks pushed in place except the passenger side. The...

    VIDEO : SIMPLE TIP to Get UNSTUCK

    I'm reading this thread in September 2024 and sand I understand (except for when it turns to mist with no bottom to it in the middle of a creek bed). Now I need to know how to get out of the mud. I live in North Central Florida which used to be under the sea so there is lots of sand but there is...

    The Ultimate TRUE TIRE SIZE Database

    Nexen Rodian ATX 245/75R17's. A $495 option on my new 2024 Wrangler Sport S 2 door (dealer ordered inventory), I was surprised that they were 30.5 inches tall. I guessed they would be 27-28" before seeing this thread and going to measure them.

    JL trailer wiring harness installation

    I've ordered the Curt hitch and wiring harness. I see "branded" parts, accessories, etc that all look the same and I have to wonder what has been re-branded and what is re-al.

    Is it the same or similar quality but has a brand name on it?

    What is the difference between 4 pin trailer wiring harness and hitch that sell for $99 and $182? WeiSen versus Curt.

    JL trailer wiring harness installation

    Thanks. I don't have any auxiliary switches in my JL Sport S so I will need to figure out how to add fuses and switches. I don't want to be having inline fuses/circuit breakers scattered everywhere and trying to find where I hid them on a trail repair.

    JL trailer wiring harness installation

    Thanks. The factory towing package includes a bigger alternator. Does the factory trailer wiring harness draw power from the battery as well? Just trying to understand my first & new JL.

    JL trailer wiring harness installation

    I need a 2" receiver hitch (easy to install) and a 4 prong boat plug. Why is there a hot wire going to the battery terminal under the hood from a little black box. Past wiring harnesses I've installed (not Jeep) got the power for turn signals and brakes from the T-plugs that are connected from...
