> Really not a fan of the third row. Don’t get me wrong, I get why FCA did it, it’s just head scratching to me why people want it. IMO if you have a bunch of kids you should get over yourself and get a Minivan, I rode in one for 15 years as a kid and I can say the third row in my parents old 96 Toyota Sienna still looks more comfortable then getting into a “third row” of a modern SUV. I see the Grand Cherokee as a fun utility vehicle, but I don’t see anything “fun” with having to transport 7 people in this thing.
Every third row I've tried to sit in has been an abomination. It's like someone velcroed a stadium seat right to the load space in the rear. Absolutely awful. And with the sloping roofs these days, your head is either mashed against the rear glass or the roof.
Like you said, just buy a minivan or something like a Suburban if you really have a need to carry that many people.
Does the Uconnect Access app even work? Android version has a rating of 2.7 out of 5. Can't be worth it in this sorry state.

What spark plugs did you use? Single tip Platinum plugs have been known to cause misfire issues in the newer 4.0s with a coil rail.
Cylinder 2 misfire is sometimes caused my heat soak, the solution would be to put a heat wrap around the injector
I use this, and it's been great. You wouldn't think so from looking at it, but it holds my phone perfectly well even when I'm offroading. Ignore the bad reviews who say it won't stick to the dash, those idiots didn't use the adhesive primer that comes with it, and/or didn't clean the dash first.
I mounted it just to left of the glove box (the only place I could find, really. Our WK2's don't have much dashboard real estate)

Felpro makes a really great replacement gasket that’s reusable and never leaks. The 4.0 has a ccv rather than a pcv system and I always replace both vents and grommets (and the little tube connecting the rear vent) along with the gasket when I get another Jeep (I have 6 right now). Rear crankcase orifice vent is dorman# 47057: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000JZI1U2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_o1AQBb8PJSXPA
Grommets are both dorman# 42344: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XS8XYHJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_K2AQBbMPJ1Z33
The front vent is available in different heights depending on year/model but I think yours is a doorman 47079. In a pinch you can always buy 2 of the orifice ones and drill out the restrictor.
Got it done under warranty before they put out the recall couple years back. Mine was just making an awful noise when starting like it was starting then starting again and therefore making that horrible grinding noise.

Sometimes I worry and think I hear the noise again but it's just me I think.

Exact same issue. I bought these and some new tail light sockets and it's been fixed for 2 years:

I was told that you can program a key yourself with an ELM327 OBDII adapter and the OBD JScan app. The license for the app is $20 and the device I used is $30 on amazon.
I haven't programed a key to work with it, but I did successfully enable by trailer adapter plug for lights with the app and it worked beautifully.
Ruien universal catch can. $30 dollars on Amazon. Let’s hope it works well. I picked up some 1/2 inch heater hose for the lines.
I bought a device that plugs into my phone. You downlioad the app and pay them like $18 per VIN. You now have control of your vehicles computer. Did it because I recently installed a tow hitch on my 2016 GC and needed to enable the light harness.

If you go with a cell phone mount, I recommend looking into magnetic mounts but only if it's for a cell phone. I have used them in several of my vehicles and all you have to do is stick an adhesive metal plate to the back of your phone or phone case as with mine. Then you attach a strong magnet to your vehicle wherever you want and the magnet holds the phone in place. They work very well and aren't as bulky as ProClips.
These are exactly the ones I have bought. https://www.amazon.com/Magnetic-WizGear-Universal-Swift-snap-Technology/dp/B0773F8S74/ And if you like I can take some pictures of how it works with my phone in my WK. Just let me know if you are interested.
Cool! It looks great. I picked mine up last year for a little over a grand and have been working on bringing it up to mechanical speed - mostly deferred maintenance stuff - but now I kind of love it and want to start upgrading.
For the headlights, I've had great luck with the 3M kit on amazon. There are a couple variants, all the same basic thing - sand down the worn plastic, put on a protective coating, looks good as new. Don't bother with stuff like PlastX unless you feel like reapplying every few weeks.
Yeah they are pretty stiff but they handle oversized tires really nicely. I was hunting down the cause of some gnarly deathwobble after lifting my WJ and I believe the Bilsteins had something to do with fixing it. All it took was adjustable LCAs, 4 tierod ends, new front upper bushings, new coil insulators, bigger track bar bolts, stiffer trackbar bushings, bilstein shocks and 2 alignments. Piece of cake.....
Also, I got mine off of Amazon pretty cheap.
I found a similar one on Amazon

I think the Blackvue cameras could be hidden more easily based on their design. I'm not sure if there's anything out there that could be integrated with the already installed backup camera.

I just got a cheapo amazon special that holds ~350ml. I've noticed the fill rate to be about ~100ml per 300-400 miles once the flow is established. I'd go with a larger volume if I were to buy one again so I wouldn't need to empty it as frequently.
You can try getting a socket (or two) that's just a little too small from the pawn shop and hammering it on to the lug nut and then using a breaker bar to remove them.

I've used that one on past vehicles. My dad uses it on his current vehicle. They are good quality. Mine, after a while and a lot of use, started to wear/split at the folds. I now prefer the custom roll up kind because I feel it is easier to use, put awat, etc.
Can't go wrong with either.

I got these for my 2015 and like them a lot. They nay not fit yours but there's definitely some similar on amazon that do.
This is about as "low profile" as you are going to get without going with a hidden winch option.
Wanted to post here as I hadn’t seen anyone post the pics after purchasing the seatback cargo liners. Bought them to match the mopar cargo liner in the trunk.
A couple notes:
They are more plastic compared to the mopar liner.
Install was easy as it was Velcro and seems like a pretty strong hold
There are pre cut holes for the square pieces with the metal bar on the seat backs.
Ignore the pushcart wheel it’s broken.
I bought new fittings and a can tap set with adapters so I can reuse my r134 gauges. You should technically use a separate gauge set to avoid cross contamination. R1234yf is already fluorescent bright green so I may not need dye to find the leak. It'll end up being a dried up orings from not running it in the winter, or a hole in the evap core.

I've used it on my truck. The install is really easy if you have the brake controller pigtail from Jeep. My jeep came with this. It just plugs in, and then you connect the wires from it to the brake controller. There are some controllers designed for specific cars, and you don't need the pigtail. You just plug them in. The rest is just mounting it an easily accessible spot while driving. This one has the harness with it - https://www.amazon.com/TEKONSHA-CONTROL-2011-2012-CHEROKEE-CONTROLLER/dp/B007O5GXQ4/ref=sr_1_8?crid=3MWM869P21HY1&keywords=grand+cherokee+brake+controller&qid=1662740018&sprefix=grand+cherokee+brake+controlle%2Caps%2C116&sr=8-8
I used to sleep during lunch break so I always keep a folding foam camping pad and a small pillow at the back. During colder days I keep a thermal blanket so I can sleep comfortably at the cargo area.

We did the Medano Pass primitive road, which had a good bit of loose sand - we aired the tires down to 25 PSI and we fishtailed a few times. There's a big board in the visitor's center there at GSDNP that has the latest conditions on it - so I'd check that before going out. We couldn't make it to the top because the stream crossings were at 4 ft; a more adventurous type may have made it! As for tips, don't stop once you're in loose sand.
The roof rack is from Amazon, Brightline Roof Rack. Good luck!
Two ways to go: - the only cross-bars I know that are compatible with these moldings are these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C44RNXN - replace the moldings with the actual rails from other trims and you will have other options for cross-bars like Thule, etc.
Properly, you remove the carrier and check the preload with an in-lb dial torque wrench like this on crush sleeve axles like the 35 and 44a. But I've done exactly as you have and had no problems.
Doing the bearings you would want a new sleeve and then do the preload, of course. It's not a terribly hard job, just nice to do on a lift rather than the garage floor because crushing that sleeve takes a lot of force, it's a snipe job that's hard to do with minimal room.
I do like your approach, I just wanted to keep things simple.
Of course I looked at something from AudioControl, they have a ridiculous 800 watt 4 channel DSP amp that I would love, but it's also very expensive.
I was looking at the Fosgate 400x4 bike amp: https://www.amazon.com/Rockford-Fosgate-PBR400X4D-Compact-Amplifier/dp/B07894Y4KP
Hi level inputs, good power and 4 channel, very compact and good price. That would be ideal but like I said, not sure about the UConnect channels.
I heard from others that all 4 channels put out a full signal but I wanted to make sure, although you're saying that the signal sucks, ouch.
Really, I don't need so much bass, but do like loud and punchy, I feel like 100 watts into a 6x9 component of high quality is exactly what I need, with the 6.5" rear just being a bonus (I could always run that with lopass crossover for mids only, not fullrange, on a midbass 6.5" but feel like I would be losing out).
Adding a sub is not a priority, I actually don't want one.
So you're saying the Kicker Key fits behind the UConnect? Hmm, that sounds good. The Fosgate would fit there too then, or behind the glovebox. I will compare the Key to the Fosgate I mentioned.
I'm not worried about my components handling any power as I will make sure to buy high quality stuff, at least 10% higher handling RMS than the amp (the Kappas are 100W I think but will draw at 3ohm).
I'm also looking at another Fosgate, one that outputs same power no matter the ohm, I think it's called their Power series, but that is in the AudioControl price range, and no DSP.
KSP, Spidertrax, or Titan Wheel offer 1" and 1.5" spacers for around $120 for a set of 4.
You’ll need an OBD reader (I bought this one, a laptop and the software.
AlfaOBD is free to use but it’s not the easiest to use tbh. There is a way to save the OG settings and I HIGHLY recommend you save ur OG functions before you do anything. I learnt that the hard way haha.
The software enables you to do a lot of diagnostics to the vehicle, the OBD reader isn’t cheap but it’s very easy to use.
I use this one, and it’s invisible as far as edge to edge. You will notice a little bit of off coloring with polarized glasses or certain angles of direct sun, but nothing that changed my mind about using it

I can't comment on the towing capacity so I'll leave that to someone else.
There are a few options for hitches. You can go the OEM route and get an OEM hitch which involves a more lengthy install process. Or you can go aftermarket. There is probably some difference in towing capacity between the two options and the OEM receiver will sit higher than an aftermarket.
This is the aftermarket I put on my 2018 when I had it. Simple install. 4 bolts. I used it for bike racks and cargo carriers.

The caps that came with my jeep was green and it was fading and brittle after a few months. I have this black one for 2 years now, still works.
Very easy, front fascia requires no tools to remove.

Ran the wire through passenger firewall and into the aux compartment. Link below is the cheap one I used, has worked great thus far.

On mine the battery terminal ends were losing connection with the wire. I just decided to replace all of the wiring with new. I’ll see if I can get a picture.

Those connectors you unplugged probably just disabled the electric door locks. I can't see as the spot you hit would cause any issues. There is something weird that goes on with the BCM and the rear light. you can manually press up on it and it turns on, and then turns on the rest of the lights for some period of time. If you lever the front of it down with a knife, you can pull the bulb and that might help the issue. Or pull the wires off by unscrewing the whole top bezel.
I had the same sort of weird issues there and just ended up using some cheap 12V LED strips and a manual switch mounted in that bezel up top. WAY more light. You might just do something similiar if you can't figure this out, mount them over the rear doors and put a switch in the console that you can activate by hand.

Yes. And you could just replace the ball joint which requires a little more work or you could buy the ball joint and the affixed part that screwes onto the tie rod.

One for each side. You could buy those and take them to a shop to install them if they are in fact your problem. Once they are swapped in, you will need to have an alignment done. Shouldn't take more than an hour to swap them out so don't get ripped off by a shop.
> Something like that could be causing a clunking/buckling noise when turning?
Absolutely. As you can see from the links I provided, they have a hole in the top for a zerk point to be installed. This allows you to add grease to them. The stock ones do not have a zerk point and therefor, grease cannot be added. If the grease get's pushed out they will inevitably not only wear out but clunk and eventually fail entirely which will not be good.
At some point in time, manufacturers decided that removing zerk points for "sealed joints" and "sealed bearings" was somehow a good idea and that they would last for the "lifetime of the vehicle". They were obviously wrong but refuse to go back to common sense practice of using zerk points. Of course, my recommendation is that if you replace a joint or bearing, try to get one with a zerk point and make sure that you add grease about every three to six months.
All that being said, keep in mind that the clunk itself could still be coming from somewhere else. If you can jack up the front of your vehicle and grab the tie rod end and actually make it move or rattle, that's the problem. If not, it may not be the problem but, can't hurt to replace them either.
The grill was ordered on Amazon. JeCar Mesh Grill Front Grille Trim Honeycomb Grill Inserts Cover Custom 3D Formed for 2014-2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DNHTG89/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_QASXPK5MERAD8R9FV3MP?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I've been using something like this for years in my WK https://www.amazon.com/SmartCharge-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Receiver-Dedicated/dp/B07GJ7DHMP
It is simple, it works, gives me 2 usb ports available. Not the best audio but the stock audio in my WK is shitty to begin with.
You'll need to get a scanner to clear the stored codes and work on it any further.
This is the one I have.

Install was pretty easy. I used (this)[KICKER 47KEYLOC KEYLOC 10V RMS... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084HL1D7P?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share] to convert the signal wire from high volt to low volt for the amp. Then you also have to unplug the 4 microphones in the headliner/ceiling to stop the active noise cancellation system. The ANC system doesn’t work right anymore with amplified low tones. It sounds like a ground loop hum thru the subwoofer.
The med kit is from Surviveware and I bought it on Amazon.

since nobody’s being relatively helpful at all, i’ve attached a link to some plastic covers for your mirrors/ door covers. i’m happy with the purchase, they’ve stayed on for some time now and look good. https://www.amazon.com/sportuli-Replacement-2011-2019-Cherokee-Durango/dp/B0894WJQYP/ref=pd_aw_day0fbt_img_2/138-6604186-6988765?pd_rd_w=zPZ4d&pf_rd_p=079caffb-c6da-4e81-ac80-c10e4efbc5dc&pf_rd_r=PM1WEAT0AMJRZDNKY85T&pd_rd_r=920ebed5-5...
I did mine quite similiar to yours using these. I also put on of them on a wire loom and velcro so I could pull it off the hood and use it as a flashlight by hand. Been very happy with the amount of light underhood now.
I wouldn’t say it’s difficult… it’s just tedious. Get something like this to remove/install the screws. It’ll be pretty nearly impossible to get all the screws perfectly tight, but it’s not noticeable. Still a better route than taking off the whole bumper IMO… unless you’re really skilled with that sort of thing.
Fair enough. I have my rear taillight warning on my 98, but I've been chalking that up to the LED tailights not pulling enough resistance to keep the sensor from bitching. I might just try touching them up next time I have the dash apart (to fix the damn heater core, grrr).
Are you talking about an air mattress that fits in the back of the grand cherokee? If so, I use an Intex Twin in the back of mine and it works perfect. I bet even a full Intex would work fine too. This is the one I'm talking about that I use: https://www.amazon.com/Intex-Classic-Downy-Airbed-Twin/dp/B00C4ZVMV0/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=Intex+twin&qid=1635866848&sr=8-5
​
Can be found Cheaper at WalMart and will probably be under a different "Model" name. Just search Intex Twin.
I used this and it worked really well.

Hello fellow human, I am using these front seat covers https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TTRHBSV and this at the back https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R1MV14F
I'm pretty happy with it. Does its job covering the seats from food and water spills, it doesn't cover the airbags and it doesn't look too bad either. I have 2 medium-sized dogs and the back seat covers work well protecting the cloth seats.
I looked but I don’t have the same Amazon account as years ago so I have no idea what the exact model is. They look identical to these that are shaped like an airplane wing and have a keyhole on the end

I sprayed some White Lithium Grease on the door hinge and it slowly got better and better until now where I almost never hear it.
If you don't plan on using the lower fascia anymore, I learned a trick from the forums that you can line the ugly bottom edge of the bumper with this stuff, and it makes it look a lot cleaner. Check my post history to see it on mine.
I use this Maxboost Car Mount https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0GTZDN
I have a note10+ which is as big as the pro max. The magnet holds well even when i go off road. Very easy to mount the phone and very easy to tale it off. The trade off is that you cant do wireless charging because you need to put a thin metal plate on your case.
You can buy cover material that is custom-cut to go over the center console and the door with matching material - I've seen carbon fiber for example:

I'm usually taking my kayak out alone, and a roof rack has been great.
You can also get a kayak roof kit that comes with a couple foam pads and straps, so you can avoid a roof rack if you don't want one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003EET2OE/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_V1KT65XKH1273J2N0JTQ
