Quick question. Have you noticed any performance issues with the clutch, specifically? If you haven't seen, there's another recall out for the 6-speed. I'm frustrated because I was planning on 37s and 4.88s but I'm not sure I trust the clutch now...
Here's my biggest gripe with this, the problem description is nearly identical across both recalls. From March 2020:
"In some circumstances, the clutch pressure plate may become overheated through friction, which may lead the pressure plate to fracture. A fractured pressure plate may crack or...
Beyond frustrated. I just had a $2,500 lift delivered and was about to order 37s. Now how do I know the clutch can handle that, even with regearing? And will they just stick me with the bill for a new clutch if I put those tires on and it breaks? (Yes).
This is a little ridiculous. Hardware...
Is it me, or is the problem description almost identical to the March '20 recall?

Yet, that required a new clutch...
Thanks! I've looked into some of that. Hoping I can get by for a while without some of it. The suspension, tires and regear will be setting me back enough already.
I don't intend to do any rock crawling or towing. It's my daily driver, but I'd like to be able to hit the CA fire roads and do...
I have a Sport S (Non- Max Tow) and plan to regear to 4.88s when I put the tires on (BFG KO2s - smaller end of 37s).
Other than gearing, is there anything else I should think about upgrading? Will be replacing the drive shaft eventually to correct for the suspension but am a little concerned...
Worth a look. I'm still exploring options as I build my Jeep up but the idea was to keep the roof free so 1) no drilling into the hard top and 2) I can take the top off/down! lol
THIS. Two of the pictures show it on the back of a truck bed mounted vertically. I'm gonna have to see how I can...
Looking for an alternative to the Mopar version (reviews sound pretty bad on Quadratec). I prefer to keep my boards out of the bed on longer trips and just in general.
Anyone seen anything else similar to this? I checked Thule and Yakima but they were either out of stock or again, bad reviews...
I have a '21 Sport S (no max tow), painted fender flares, black top, etc. It did come with air dams. I'm sure what you saw was a dealer upgrade/package. Unless you order a premium bumper, they come with that piece in between the bumper and fender flare.
Clayton recommends 4.5"-4.75" of backspacing. But it looks like you'll have rubbing anyway with the 37's so you may not care.
Negative offset sticks the tire (wheel) out further, positive does the opposite. I believe stock sport wheel are +44mm offset, as a reference.
I had a very similar...
Thank you for the advice! I actually ordered the 3.5" Overland Plus w/ Fox shocks from Clayton on Black Friday weekend - they had a pretty good deal on it. Also figured the front drive shaft would need replacing anyway at some point. Est. Shipping is Jan 15.
Congrats. Let me know how you like it!
