    "Low Battery Please Start Engine" - I'm not sure whats going on. (Voltages look within Spec) correct me if i'm incorrect.

    Hi, Problem: I'm getting the "Low Battery Pleas start engine" warning. I'm getting it within seconds of just opening a door. It started while I was vacuuming out the car and had all 4 doors open for an hour or so. No lights were on, so I thought that was weird. What I have tried / done: -...

    Brake Sensor (Front) Damaged do I need to pull pads to install?

    One of my front brake sensors (Front) is damaged and alerting. My pads are great with only a few thousand miles on them. Do I need to pull pads to install the wear sensor? Or can I snap it in place without removing the pad mechanism? Just curious. Thanks

    New rear hatch shocks? Preferably better than OEM?

    Any better than stock rear hatch shocks? I'm sick of smashing my skull into the hatch as it slowly creeps down after opening it in the colder months. I'm already on borrowed neurons. I trust this forums opinion better than LR. Cheers Mike

    Going to MOAB. Suggestions on a family friendly trail?

    My wife wants to go on a Jeep Tour on a super mellow trail becaus we have little kids. I don't want to pay for this because we have a 2016 LR4 and also think its a waste to pay for a mellow trail tour. If I pay i'd prefer something beyond my skill set. I'd rather drive ourselves on a mellow...

    I was out using my telescope in the mountains and needed to use the 12v accessory plug located in the rear of the truck near the tailgate after my portable power supply died. The 12v plug would only stay powered for 3 minutes at a time before the truck shut it off. Is there a way to keep this...

    washer fluid - Doesn't work in the cold? Feature or Error?

    I am assuming my washer fluid not functioning if the temperature is below 20deg C is a byproduct of crappy design more than a 'feature'. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
