If you are trying to get the "poor mans extended warranty" it is not possible on the JKs. The computer calculates mileage and displays it on the odometer.

lol, good luck. Best luck is to alter the speedo reading by use of a tuner to change gear ratio/tire size.

Are you looking to stop the odometer while towing your Jeep? If yes, looking under towing behind a motor home in owners manual and you will need a negative battery post disconnect. Hope this helps/

mrktwatchr: If your underlying question is "which fuse do I pull to prevent accumulation of miles when I tow my Jeep, 4 wheels down, behind another vehicle" the answer is the IOD Fuse. Here is a photo showing the location (thanks to Robert K) on a 2-door 2009 (and it's the same on my 4-door 2007): https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...light=IOD+fuse.
