Got a Jeep, Get a Tazer 13 days ago

This is a must have if you own a Jeep and want to do any customization. If you're thinking about upsizing your tires, regearing, upgrading your lights, adding fog lights, installing a grill cam, you'll want the Tazer! It's worth it just for the fun of the "Light Show"! Simple to install and it's easy to get used to the menu and instructions on your dash. I do recommend getting the extension cable, so you have easier access to it and don't need to dig too far behind your console to get to it.

All I needed was to change tire diameter and disconnect the sway bar in 2WD for the potholes on the logging roads. My JT Rubicon is mostly a logging road and basecamp rig for my mountain biking and camping. I had to go through the tire diameter setup a couple 2 or 3 times to convince myself I had it set correctly. Also, you have to be at a full stop to use the sway disconnect but the ride over portholes is way better disconnected. Sometimes sway disconnect will stay enabled after stopping and starting the engine. Sometimes not. Sway bar autoconnect happens around 30 mph now instead of 20 or 25. The setup cycle every change is a bit of a pain but really not bad. And it's not needed for the live functions that work when it's plugged in. Winch idle speed will be a nice feature if I get into a winch situation. I have to roll my eyes at some of the bling features like light show. :-) but whatever rolls your road.

The install is simply plugging it in (recommend getting the extension cord as you are supposed to un-marry and remove it before going to the dealer and it's a tight fit to get to the clips on the plugs. You can upgrade the lite to mini after you buy it, so they make it easy to start at a lower price and buy in to the full feature set. To use most of the nice to have features, you'll need the mini, but the lite covers all the basics. I can't currently get it to upgrade to the newest firmware on multiple pcs, so a bit questionable on that end. The build that is on it seems to work ok though.
