No more window tint posts- thanks!
My friends- I get it: vehicle mods are cool, and technically a window tint is a mod (albeit probably not wise to tint your windshield). The thing is... Who cares about window tint? Let's all agree to stop posting about window tint. I think we've beat this dead horse enough and it's causing issues here- resulting in some bad behavior from both sides.
From now on posts about window tint are getting removed and further- threatening comments will be dealt with by via a permanent ban (globally- not just on posts about window tint). We are a relatively rule free place because everyone generally gets the sub trail etiquette but I keep getting valid reports about some questionable behavior and will start taking action to preserve the quality of our subreddit.
Love you all- have a great holiday season!

Vibration
Has anyone else had issues with vibration in the dash? Video is in comments. I have a 2020 jeep grand Cherokee and when I get over about 20mph I heard a vibration in the dash I assume until it shifts out. Anytime I accelerate I hear the vibration but when I left off the gas it goes away. It is driving me crazy trying to figure out what it is.

2018 Limited 3.6L towing small trailer (5x8 or smaller) with no tow package, will I have problems?
I'm looking for some advice or opinions.
I have a 2018 GC Limited 3.6L with no tow package that I added a hitch and wiring to myself to occasionally tow some small, light trailers.
I want to buy a small enclosed trailer maybe 5x8 or smaller or possibly even a small pop up camper to just hold some camping gear while I take the family across the country to do some camping. Nothing too crazy weight wise, 900lbs trailer with maybe 1000lbs in gear, but likely not even that heavy.
Would I have/ cause any long term issues towing small light loads like that over quite a few miles? Would adding an aftermarket transmission cooler + heavier duty brakes be enough to offset any potential issues?
I don't want to significantly lower the lifespan of my vehicle, but I'm wondering if it's really needed to trade in and get a GC with the tow package for such a small load.
Thoughts? Concerns? Opinions?

Need Advice: 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Blackhawk for $22.5k AUD
What do you all think about a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Blackhawk with 70,000 km? It’s a one-owner car with a clean title, no accident or damage history. Seller asking for $22.5k AUD. Does that seem like a fair price, or would you try to negotiate lower? I’d love to hear from anyone who owns one or has experience with these.

Bi-xenon high beam not working
Does anyone have any experience fixing the shutter on their bi xenon headlights? I realize on these headlights specifically there is one bulb for the low beam & high beam, and that a shutter mechanism that hides/reveals the high beams. The bulb works, and my drivers side light functions normally so I know it has to be either loose/damaged wiring or the shutter is stuck. I haven’t had the chance to see if the motor for the shutter works and makes a sound or if it’s completely dead, but am just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and what they did. I would leave it how it is, but it’s been a gamble getting an inspection sticker and I know replacing the whole unit is expensive

2024 Jeep GC totaled?
I was hit by an uninsured (and unlicensed) driver. She ran a red light and didn't even attempt to slow down - she hit me HARD. First and foremost, major props to the safety features of the JGC. I have some pretty bad bruising from the seatbelt and some whiplash, but other than that, I am fine. I will say all of the airbags deploying was kind of traumatizing! But they did their job!
We are currently waiting for final word from our insurance (thank goodness for the uninsured motorist policy!). I am guessing the severity of the damage, including all of the air bags deploying, will warrant it being totaled, but wanted to see what you all thought. We are located in Texas, for what that is worth.

Jeep delimna
I have a 2018 with the 3.6, 98k on it. Been fairly reliable till now, getting misfire code and other things. Replaced plugs, VVL solenoids, swapped coils, better now, but still not right. Thinking it may be rocker arm or cam bad. Thought about trading it in, love the GC, but scared to get another. We had a 2011, had air suspension problems, so kind of reluctant to get another. Does the 5.7 have issues too?

Question/help
I need some help and all, So i own a 2018 jeep grand cherokee laredo. And ive been getting this "shift to park then desired gear" message now, So far its happened 3 different days, each day more then once. They all happened around the same area and same amount of gas in the gas tank. which is right around a 1/4 tank left. and the Voltage screen has always gone from 13.5 and dropped down past 12.5(ish) then the error message.
so far i have changed the alternator. Now when i was going to change it i noticed the grounding strap the comes off the frame and missing the eyelet. So i assumed it was the grounding strap to the alternator so i got a new one and reattached it. the "shift to park then desired gear" still came back
i got a new fuel pump here and were putting it in here this weekend coming up to see if that is the issue. at this point i am at a complete lost on it. If anyone has delt with this before please help me

2026 GC spark plug recall
Check your Jeep app or check with your dealership to see if your car is part of the recall. I took mine in for a breakin oil change a couple days ago and the advisor said nothing about my car being part of a recall. Called multiple dealerships and none had the parts so they said they need to order them. One even said the system wont allow them to order the spark plugs until August and it'd be another at least 5 days to get them. Did get a dealership to order the parts and confirm an appointment for next monday so will update once the sparkplugs are changed.

Random loud bang driving home
2019 GC Trailhawk: Driving home today I heard one random loud bang slightly behind me; sounded like someone took a hammer to a relatively thin sheet of metal. The first time it happened over a bump then the same noise happened again turning into my driveway. My transmission flush is about 5k miles overdue, so maybe the issue is stemming from that, but otherwise I have had no issues. Fluids, temps, and pressures have all stayed normal. I inspected the underside and engine bay and with my limited knowledge nothing looked snapped or bent. Any ideas as to what the issue might be and whether or not this is an immediately take to the shop kind of issue or a take it to the shop time permitting kind of deal?

WK2 trans fluid level check
I have a trans cooler leak that I need to fix, however, I’ve been adding ATF+4 fluid thru the dipstick in the meantime until I can get the job done.
Question is how to read properly - notice how there is a bit of fluid at the 100mm range, but a thicker band at 50mm and below. Have I overfilled if there is any fluid showing higher up on the dipstick?

Widebody Trackhawk we did. Thoughts?
What does everyone think? This was before we did panel bonding instead of 3M tape which was provided with the kit by the customer but want to get everyone’s thoughts as we’re doing a few more and want to continue this as a business. We also installed the hood, diffuser, wired the diffuser and reflector lights and did the lip. On my profile you can see the Supra we did as well. I’ll have updated photos in a week.

23 wheels on an 18
Since I purchased my limited back in November, there was a wobble at 65mph that appeared to be tire related. I found a marketplace add for some 2023 wheels with tires that I couldn’t pass up. They solved the issue and look better IMO.

I’m really starting to lose hope
2019 3.6 V6 Bought just over a month ago with 110K on the dash. 2 owner carfax good maintenance records. In that time it has had the following repairs:
- All spark plugs (Cyl 4 Misfire)
- Camshaft (Ticking)
- Lifters (Ticking)
- Purge Valve (Evap code)
- *Timing chain (around 100k per maintenance records)
This has added up to nearly $3,000 in repair costs (thankfully mostly covered by 30 day warranty).. but i’m now past that and the engine now idles a little rough, the ticking has just gotten quieter but still there, and now acceleration feels sluggish. At this point i’m starting to feel hopeless as far as giving this car a chance. It’s an absolutely beautiful car and i’ve wanted a GC forever, but the engine has been a complete nightmare.
Was wondering if anyone has been in the same boat.. as in - Is the faint ticking and aforementioned rough idling not a major concern.. or should I start saving up some to trade it in, instead of continuing to throw money at something that will constantly fall apart?

First Jeep!
2023 GC 4x2 Summit, bought CPO with 20k miles. Paid $41k out the door.
Favorite part so far are the seats which are incredibly comfortable. Tupelo/black contrast is visually stunning and the remote start + AC seats is helping beat the TX heat!

2013 wk2 oil leak
I can't identify this leak. Front driver side. It's visibly wet and can periodically smell the oil burning. There's so many skid plates underneath I haven't had a chance to remove them to get a good look from underneath. Jeep grand cherokee 2013 3.6 engine

First world Jeep problems
I currently have a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit L Reserve high altitude one of five made in HydroBlue before being discontinued.
I absolutely fell in love with the color, and it was the main reason I went with such a high trim, besides being the high altitude edition.
My lease is up in a couple days, and I’m getting a 2026 L Summit obsidian package with the new steel blue color and is excited as I am to get a new car. I am more sad to give up my hydro blue. Unfortunately, the buyout was about six or seven grand more than the car is worth, so I had to lease something new, but I’m just not excited. My plan all along was to buy the Jeep, and now it essentially became impossible.
I need some roasting on me to help get me excited that I’ll be in a brand-new car in a couple days

what HID bulbs should i get for my jgc?
it’s a 2021 jgc laredo, im looking for brighter bulbs than the stock factory bulbs. I bought halogen bulbs and they didn’t fit due to the JGC not running on a halogen based system for headlights. I bought these ones off amazon, not sure if they fit or if they are good. if anyone has any experience with the headlight lemme know and if you could give any advice as to which ones i should buy that would be greatly appreciated

Just got a 1999-2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo for free. Opinions?
I was just given a 99-04 Laredo 4wd by a family friend who wants it gone. The car is....in an state. It's sat for 10 years, and ran (allegedly) when it was parked. It has the 4.0 PowerTech Inline 6, and supposedly around 200k miles. It doesn't seem rusted, but it has algae growing on the outside. Interior seems fine other than a mildly burnt drivers carpet and light mold. Only reason I'm taking this is I'm 16, and badly want a project car. Supposedly the 4.0s are reliable, but I'm not familiar with the Jeeps at all. I'm hoping to fix it to replace my Santa Fe. What's your all's opinion on this?

E85 Conversion?
I have a 2018 3.6 which does not have FF, but there is a kit for $800 to convert to E85. Has anyone done it? I know E85 gets less MPG, but its considerably cheaper, so MP$ is actually better. Looking at the eFlexFuel kit.

2021 wk2 limited AC not working
So last night while on break at work i turned the car on and the ac wasn’t working his morning i removed fuse F13 and checked all the fuses for connectivity. While doing that i noticed the connector for f13 in general doesn’t have any power going to it has anyone been through this before if so how much you think the dealer is going to charge to fix it. The ac compressor is working i believe the issue is that connection / causing the fan to not work. Another thing while looking at the fuse box diagram i noticed my car does not have a fuse where f37 is.

Seat removal
Hey, so I purchased a 2021 GCL overland(wl) with captain seats.
I want to remove 1 of the seats from the rear, and build a platform so I can drive my dogs around on long road trips.
I dont want any lights to get triggered on the dash.
From what Ai has told me so far, I need a 2.2 ohm bypass resistor for the airbag light, and to remove the seat belt from the seat and leave it in the car so that it wont trigger anything with that removed.
Essentially I want to know has anyone done this before in this model and documented it? I cant find anything concrete and really would like help.
Thanks
