It seems to correlate with locations that the radio signal would be attenuated by geography. ie. I can count on hearing it at the bottom of the street where It's the bottom of a steep valley here, but it's gone at the top of the street.
On the other hand, my fuel economy seems to have improved by at least 1L/100km so far, though the jury's still out. No change to driving style. Local driving would normally see the gauge indicate ~14.5-15.5L/100km, but it's currently down to 14.0 and still falling, in the usual stop/start local driving.

New spark plugs will go a long way to improving performance and fuel economy, as will cleaning and re gapping old plugs in good condition. A quick clean of the throttle body is often a good idea at the same time.

I wouldn't go that far, I had my JK for 5 years (and loved every moment of it). I was then given a JL as a loan vehicle while getting some work done on my Grand Cherokee. The JL is a much better Wrangler to live with as a daily driver than the JK ever was in much the same way as my JK was over my TJ.

Very true, I have the luxury of driving a number of new vehicles around from time to time and have to say many new ones are sensational to drive along with all the tech that goes with them.
However, longevity is another factor all together.
We still see 1999 TJ’s on the road. And many of us can (99% of the time) fix them ourselves.
We still see 2007 JK’s. And again quite DIY fixable and easy to modify.
I wonder if we will see JL’s still on the road that long?

Installed brand new 255/70 R18 tyres on my Wrangler and I'm going offroading this weekend West of Sidney. So excited.

Installed a pair of STEDI 7" Iris Chrome LED headlights today took me most of the day not 2hrs I had planned....stop start for rain, rewiring the existing park lights to run the DRL circumference LEDs, had to pop rivet headlight ring holder back together as spot welds broke upon removing & removing airbox & horn on R & L side respectively to get access to wiring on 2015.
Nice even spread, proper cut off for RHD Oz market, much more modern looking and the high beam range is amazing!
I used a Vgate OBII Wifi adaptor and JScan app on iOS to turn on LED and HID settings in the ECU, no flickering or dash warning but was only a 5min drive. I should not need the h4 Canbus cancellation module with the JScan changes to the ECU.
