I've got about 40 miles on it now. It shifts really nice now. I'm guessing all the weird grease in the shift tower needed to be washed around a bit? Like it's actually really easy to get into reverse.
I'm on the fence about the Oracle tail lights. I feel like for what they cost the side markers should have been illuminated. They also aren't a huge difference between tail and brake for brightness.
I've tried a couple headlights and so far I don't like either. I think I've been spoiled by the projectors on my other vehicles. I also want something that doesn't look like I've been shopping on temu.
The passenger seat belt buckle/pretensioner was a circus. I had ordered one from Baseline 4x4 used... (spoiler: and it was bad also). So that sent me down the road of tracing wiring when the new one didn't work worse (mine the pretensioner was fine but the buckle was toast). Found that random assholes had stuffed probes that were too large in sockets so I fixed that. Then I tried to find where the wires went... well, the pretensioner goes to the occupant restraint controller under the center console. The one for the seat belt buckle goes to the lower connector in the kick panel. I found that had been abused by bigly probes also, but I just bent the pin and it was fine the whole time. I am not impressed by the mexican company that built the wiring harness.
I ordered a new seat belt harness, but didn't use it. So if someone needs a 2011-2018 JK passenger seat belt harness... I have one.
Most of the connectors had the stupid bridging tabs, and two of those were messed up also. I removed them. Anyway, that didn't fix anything. Plugged my old one back in, same problem I had when I started. Pretensioner good, buckle indicator bad. So I sat there with a scope for even longer and figured out that I could fool the pretensioner with a 2.2-2.4 ohm resistor and the seatbelt buckle hall effect sensor with a ~3900 ohm resistor.
I cut up the connectors and made a hilljack stack of resistors to fool it so I could drive it around thinking at least the driver's side airbag would work.
So I complained to Baseline4x4... twiced... and they refunded my money like a week later. I think they forget to monitor their inbox. Anyway, so then I ordered another one from them, with a coupon this time saving me like $20, and it came the next day. Finally put it in today... and no more lights. It's nice to have everything working.
I dropped the tire pressure down to 26 and 24psi and while it rides nicer now it doesn't return to center as well.
Also today, a 100lb soaking wet in a snowmobile suit lady dropped this off for it, I felt kind of bad not helping but I was in the middle of putting polyurethane on my floors:
