    How did the TJ hard door handle design happen?

    Except in the winter when ice covers the button. Can't heat that handle with a flame in the middle of nowhere.

    Intermittent wiring issue

    After dealing with an intermittent wiring issue I finally determined which wire was causing the issue. Then, to my surprise, when I went to fix it I discovered half a dozen damaged wires.

    I tow my TJ on a regular basis and always lock a key inside with the ignition turn to the unlocked position.
