I have a 2012 Silver 4WD and have never had a problem with the rear end breaking loose, even with the stock tires that are somewhat thin. I was actually going to buy another Rubicon (it would have been my 5th Jeep) but switched to the Pathfinder due to the third row that it had so I could use it wit...

I don't have auto mode on my '12 Silver and only have the selectable 4wd option. In 2wd, low 19's to high 18's is about where it sits on highway but average is between 15-16. I usually keep a heavy foot on the skinny pedal as after all, holding up a 12 4E foot can get tiring, or so is the excuse I g...

Sounds like you hit the high points of cooling system repair and the temps you are saying does sound like it's running a bit warm. I have no reference point of temperature assessment other than the factory gauges so I can't help you with that. On my 2012 Silver, the factory gauge rides below the mid...

I had this issue just the other day. It warmed up quick here in Texas after a cold spell and I turned on the AC only to get no cold air blowing. I was a bit stumped but I noticed, for whatever reason, the outside temp sensor was reading 27*F even though it was in the 60's. As I moved down the road, ...

I use to have this same problem in my diesel work truck in colder months. The simple solution is to the place something over the front of the radiator - I just used a piece of cardboard and covered about 1/2 the radiator - and it will warm up quicker and hold it's heat. I never had any overheating i...

I just stick my Magellan to the windshield right above the center of the dash. The cord runs to the passenger side and then I have it wrapped around the plug to take up slack. It doesn't get in the way and only slightly interferes with the opening of the top storage compartment. I then hang a small ...

I have a '12 Silver and it has the Bose and Sat system installed. Kind of a waste to me since I won't pay for it but it's there. If you have it you should be able to switch to "XM". It will have a Channel 1 preview channel, at reduced sound quality, that plays music and has commercials for...

I bought my 2012 R51 with 20k miles and now I'm at 25k miles so I don't have much of a dog in this fight. I have only had one minor issues where it kept saying the fuel cap was loose but I think this may have been from me topping off the tank. It eventually reset itself after a day of driving and th...

You can usually find factory running boards fairly cheap on the boards or ebay. A lot of off-roaders take them off for more hardcore options. I like the OEM boards as they're big enough to be useful (especially kids) but they're not obnoxious and drag your pants getting in/out. Keeps a lot of slop ...

Ahh, air bags. Don't know why that slipped my mind. That's far less expensive as well. That's the direction I'll go as I really didn't want to start monkeying with the geometry of the vehicle. Without the running boards, my little Granddaughters have trouble getting in and out of the Pathy now. They...

Good eye. This is Schnebly Hill Road.

We just returned from a 2200+ mile trip with the 2012 R51 and I'm pretty happy with the way it performed but I can see the need for upgrading. I'm not looking at anything major but tires are first on the list. I'm going to go with Firestone Destination's in the 245/75-17's since I can get them for a...

Here is my 2012, bone stock in AZ. Got to get some real rubber on the ground and a bit more ground clearance would be nice as well. Over 2200 miles on this trip and I averaged 19 mpg. Probably could have got better but my foot is heavy. Sorry, I can't seem to embed the picture in the post. https://f...

Okay. Thanks for that. I did more research and math and came to the conclusion that was the solution. Now I'm debating with myself on 265/70-17's or 245/75-17's. Please post back if you go with the 245/75R17. I've been thinking of running that exact size. The tire that I was looking at was the Hank...

I actually bought a regular key and FOB on Ebay for $115, used a key-cutter at work and tried to program the key using varied instructions found online. It didn't work. Meh, it was worth $15 to try. According to two dealerships, I only have the option for the Intelligent Key on my '12 Pathy. The fir...
