Should I add holes to the front bumper to attach a license plate?

I have a 2016 and now I need to add a license plate to the front. I know some jeeps have indents to guide you on where to put your license plate but I only have two indents on my bumper instead of four. If I add more holes will it reduce the value of my car? Or should I just get one of those plate bracket things that screw on underneath the bumper?

Sleeping room ?

Okay this may sound silly but I’m between the Bronco and Wrangler 4 door.

A bit of an important factor is whether my wife and I can sleep in the back with the seats folded down….

Too cramped ?

Battery from Costco?

I have a 2021 Unlimited Sahara and I have to replace the main battery- the quote from the service center for an H6 AGM battery was $473. I can see Interstate H6 AGM batteries are $185 at Costco. Any catches here? I was thinking of getting them from Costco and changing them myself.

Just did my first oil change, found it was extremely low

Bought my wife a 2015 2dr sport w/ 96,000 miles a year ago. We just hit 5,000 miles since we got it so I decided to do an oil change. When I drained it, I was shocked to find that only 2.5 quarts of very dirty oil came out. The filter looked terrible as well. The dealer had changed the oil before we took it home so I figured it would be fine until now, but apparently I was wrong. Are the 3.6 JK’s known for consuming oil? How screwed am I?

AEV printer lug nut recommendations

Got a set of pintlers for a good deal. Got the first wheel off and realized the stock lugs don't fit in the hole, as the lug nut flange was too big a diameter. Bought a new set of lugs (7/8") without the flange, and the lug fits in the hold, but the socket does not! Pictured above is the thinnest walled socket I have. the Air tool socket was far from fitting. So what are some quality lug nuts that work with these rims?! I imagine the spline type lugs are what I need, I just don't want to buy a pair and find out the socket doesn't fit either..

Repair help

2 quick questions.

The connector broke on the hard top to provide power to the defroster. Is there an easy repair for this?

Having issues with my seats, and getting them to lock correctly and fold forward. Looks like there are two different issues on each side, any recommendations?

Thanks!

2016 Rubicon Radiator Replacement.

Why is my overflow tube leaking after a radiator replacement? Typical driver side radiator leak happened yesterday, replace the radiator with a new one. Burped the system, it’s maintaining temp but leaking around the hose instead of going into overflow tank. Any ideas why?

2023 JLU Rubicon gas pump issue

I have been running into an issue where when I go to pump gas into my rig I can’t hold the pump lever all the way or it stops like the tank is full. I have to hold the lever about halfway so it doesn’t stop constantly.

This is a recurring issue and happens at multiple gas stations and pumps. Anyone run into this before? Going to schedule an appointment at the dealership to check it out but wanted to see if y’all had this happen

2007 JKU Rubicon Engine Swap

If anyone has a 2007 JKU Wrangler, then you know how doggy the 3.8L is when mated with its 4-speed automatic tranny. Yes, I know I should have bought a manual but the Jeep was for my wife at the time. I have since made the JKU my project by adding a Gobi rack, RTT, cargo storage solution, etc. A new Metal Cloak front end has addressed steering stablity for the addtional weight but all of this brings extra weight and sluggish performance. My local Jeep shop suggests putting a turbo-charger on it for around $7-8K. So I'm doing engine swap research and really like this potential combination: Cummins 4BT (3.9L) engine mated with NV4500 5-speed manual. For the price of a turbo, this swap would cure a lot more issues down the road, and avoid a potential blown engine or transmission. Asking the Jeep community if anyone has encountered this set-up?

2015 jeep wrangler need help please

2015 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Need help

2015 jeep jk bought first jeep July of this year with 131000 miles on it. Ran good till about 3 weeks ago. Got in it one Saturday after letting it sit a couple of days. Put key in ignition all lights came on as normal security light came on then went off. Tried to start nothing no clicks no dimming of dash nothing. The previous owner had installed a remote-x remote start tried that fired right up ran fine. Cut back off tried key again nothing. It is an automatic so tried remote start again fired up pretty as you please. Again tried to start with key nothing. Searched google said could be start switch went to parts store got new one nothing. So disconnected the plug and play aftermarket remote start plugged column harness directly in immobilizer nothing still all lightd work as supposed to. So reinstalled remote system back on it( it just T's in between column wiring and the immobilizer) when I done this wouldnt start either way. Crawled under jeep jumped starter terminals with key in run position wouldnt start. Took neg battery terminal off charged battery from sat night all day sunday sunday night monday put it back on nothing again. Used a high dollar scanner on it that programs keys to pcm and wcm modules not your average part store scanner found out it said WCM mismatch with ECM so checked vinyl numbers on both they were identical found out there were 3 keys allocated to the jeep only got 1 when I bought it. Went to junkyard purchased a low miledge steering column removed WCM from it programmed it to my jeep still no start by key but will start by remote start so reinstalled my original WCM. I am at a stand still on what to try now any suggestions I am open to all. I was gonna get a locksmith come out and cut and program a new key but the transponder key programming and cutting one they want 195.00 for 1 key i can buy 2 transponder keys unprogrammed and blanks for 5.17 a piece and they are mopar keys. Anyone else ever ran into anything like this please help.Wifes already ready to get rid of it and it was bought for her lol.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
