Yes, I agree. And that kind of narrow thinking works when you have absolutely no competition, and that's why Jeep has gotten away with it for literally decades. But PLAYER 2 HAS ENTERED THE GAME. Tactics change significantly when you are no longer alone in the arena, and the new guy comes in...

Yes, the "highline" flares of the Rubicon would have to be included, but the price difference between the standard and Rubicon flares is probably less than $25 at the wholesale level, so really not much of an impediment. Jeep could also re-purpose the Mojave wheels to get a little less offset...

So, now that the Bronco is official, and it is confirmed that buyers can opt for a FACTORY 35" tire & gearing package ("Sasquatch package") on ALL Bronco trim levels -- will Jeep play "catch-up" and FINALLY offer a similar 35" option on the JL/JT? We all know 35's will fit JT/JL with no lift...

I assume you are looking for some that won't cost an arm and a leg?

I'm taking mine off. I'm a gearhead, so I'd MUCH rather see an honest functional intake and other engine parts (even if they're not all prettied up) than a gleaming piece of Tupperware.

This. JT and JL's are literal aerodynamic BRICKS, with flat square bodies, big tires (even stockers are relatively big), and high ride heights. Pushing them fast through the wind is a sure way to drop your MPG significantly, even if you are "just keeping up with traffic". Test at 65 vs 75...

Engine Auto Stop/Start: * By design, it has to auto-enable upon every startup cycle. If it would remember the last "disabled" setting across engine restarts, EPA wouldn't allow it to be used in the test cycle, and MPG rating would take a little hit. And yes, for CAFE, every little MPG gain...

So about +$10,000 for better shocks and a few frame reinforcements? Very questionable. (and that is assuming you could transfer all your current mods to the new truck and not lose out on all that investment) If you would include all those mods on your trade-in (and thus lose another $10,000)...

Some people jackasses have no respect for another's property -- you are RENTING someone else's car, you do not OWN it. I'm guessing some room-temperature IQ jerk thought it would be fun to do some Dukes Of Hazzard jumping with a rental. This is why we can't have nice things.

Stock offset for the Rubicon and Sport S aluminum wheels is +44.4mm. Mojave wheels have less offset -- I think they're about +36mm

Kinda hard to tell from the pics, but are you sure the cowl piece isn't IN further than it should be, thus making the hood look "out"? From one of the pics (pic#2), it *looks* like the edge of the hood is aligned with the top of the fender, and the cowl piece is retracted from the edge.

The reviewer noted that the seam was only welded on one side. I've looked at other jackstands that use a similar design (and there are a LOT) -- none that I saw were welded on both sides. Perhaps that points to the problem being in execution (poor QC of weld techniques) rather than design...

I mean "axle housing" as in the empty welded-up assembly itself. This would exclude all bolt-on components, -- the ring/pinion gears, the axle shafts, bearings, the EAD internals (electric axle disconnect), etc. Basically the entire welded-up section between the knuckle mount "C"s on either...

Indeed, I meant the housing itself was the same, not necessarily all of the bolt-on parts. I went back and clarified my posts.

So true. Guess it is best to be 'over-prepared'! I also thought the Sport MaxTow and Mohave front axle *housings* were exactly the same (wide HD44 with no locker)? Does anyone know if the MaxTow and Mohave front axles also have the bosses for the e-locker wiring? I wouldn't think it would be...

Really? I thought the Mojave front axle *housing* was just the axle from the Sport MaxTow (wide HD44 type with no locker)? I know the Mojave wheels have less + offset (+36 vs +44), so the Mojave track measurement is wider, but I thought the actual axle width was the same for Rubicon vs...

So you recommend Mojave over the "Overland" model, primarily for the upgraded shocks? (rear trac-lok is available on Sport/Overland trim levels. And yes, I know it's NOT a "true" locker) And you're right, I haven't done any "serious overlanding", but most of the folks I know that do, they...

Whether or not most people actually take their Wranglers/Gladiators offroad is totally immaterial. You cannot market a vehicle like a Wrangler/JT by telling the customer "You, sir/madam, are never going to actually take your Jeep off-road it anyway, so don't worry about it!" These vehicles...

I think you may be in for a rude awakening if you think your city/highway range in miles will be anything near your "range" when doing offroad trails. One of the touted advantages of offroad EV is the torque available at low speeds. However, using that additional torque comes at a price...

Respectfully -- a few questions about your list: 2) Why would an overlander need a high speed suspension like the Mojave? That is really the biggest change from the Mojave from the Overland model. In that same light, why is the Overland model NOT as suitable for an 'overlander' build, while...
