Re: How does TJ Cruise Control behave?
Yeah, I expected this reaction, np. Well, here is my personal evidence, for
whatever it is worth. I have the whistles on my vehicles. They fell off (maybe 8 years ago on a Nova) and then within a week I hit 2 deer (glancing blows, no real damage other than a slight dent) [at the same spot on the same road even]. I put them back on and have not had any issue since, except once where a deer managed to time a car coming the other way, missed that one and landed on my hood going the other way [a non-whistle affected event from my position]. I see with my eyes how the deer react when I drove my vehicles with the whistles and how they react when I am in different cars. This is what I am going by. I see them freeze and look at me. I see them take less notice without the whistles. So I keep them on and recommend that others do as well, then the others can do what they want. I have no idea if they are doing anything since I cannot hear them, but I see what I see. I have also heard the detractions of them as well. No problem either way, just my perspective.

Thanks, Billy Ray. We live in the Sierra Nevada, with two twin Jeep Grand Cherokees, and a bunch of deer, and deer whistles just don't work.
