Wow this is great. Years ago I swore by the orange stuff but somewhere along the way I completely forgot about it. Great reminder, thank you. This is also the second mention of Mopar stock blades, and I think that means I’m going to try them next! Do you buy from a dealership or order them...

Interesting. Years back it seemed like every windshield wiper came with a "wipe" that they wanted you to use before installing them. The Silicon application you're using goes on the windshield, like a RainX or something? I've been eyeing a better product than RainX -- which when I read the...

Good to know about your experience with RainX. Do you buy any particular brand or style of wipers?

Hey folks, this feels weird to ask about but I’m struggling to be happy with how my wipers perform. Any other car I’ve owned I’ve been able to get great performance by buying quality wipers, and doing an occasional RainX treatment. Not my wrangler! What gives? In the last year I’ve replaced my...

I pulled off the knob and reinstalled the actuator for a week in the sand dunes. Bar didn’t click at all and that confirms where the sound was coming from. I emailed Evo and they came back with a rather short but interesting reply, which is that my particular bar might just need less pressure...

Yeah for sure. Both before I installed the bar and since. I’m sure that when it’s engaged the force I apply with my hand is substantially less than the jeep rolling over even a small curve in the road. I suspect it’s not fully engaging too — but I don’t know how it would sound if it were broken.

I looked up Oracle lights and thought they were not cheap and wondered what you were talking about. Then I looked at KC lights and they are 4 times the price…but they are kind of what I want. A basic round light, DOT approved, and not 15 years fogged over with age.

I’m curious, what lights did you buy. I’ve been in the market but the market is inundated with Bluetooth and other stuff I don’t need.

I bought and mounted the knob, and now the sway bar clicks randomly, somewhat Unpredictably. Sometime when I turn, sometimes when I hit a small bump. It’s not reliable but it’s the only change I think could have the cause. The knob came with a washer and instructions to put the washer in the...

How does the road noise compare soft top vs hard top?

Oh that's a great price on links! Everything I'd seen online was $70/ea. Thank you! The expensive parts I was talking about are the mopar harness and switch for the factory style disconnect. The dealer installed style swaybar disconnect requires: - Sway bar ✅ - Wiring harness ~$140 shipped -...

Oh I wouldn't pay the dealer to do it, I'd do it myself. It's a few wire splices -- the parts are what's expensive.

Two projects, haha. Or two angles of the same project. This years upgrade is the sway bar, because last year was my first year and disconnecting the sway bar with wrenches takes an eternity when you have 3 hungry kids in the Jeep. I got the used sway bar but the end links are shot. So I need to...

Ok ok ok I’ll try the knob! Haha thank you

I looked at the hand crank option for the thing but man would I really like to have a button inside. Have you ever used any aftermarket stuff to get the disconnect to actuate?
