I dont think there is anything wrong with trying to get the most performance you can from your platform! I do with all my vehicles, and light weight wheels and tires are one of the most significant changes you can make! I too have been agonizing over tires choices and weights, and sizes. I...
I'm going to keep the stock Rubicon Wildpeaks on for winters, with their snowflake rating and excellent snow performance reviews. I have ordered a set of Method 313 that I will put a set of 35s on when the time comes. Probably KM3 or Patagonias, but that way I can justify a proper mud tire for...
Happy for you, but so jealous! I ordered my Sting Grey manual Rubicon on 6/22 and I'm still stuck in D status. Mine is basically fully loaded minus the active safety groups and auto. Black top with painted fenders, but no steel bumper or BT speaker available at the time of order
As I sit here waiting for my Sting-Grey Rubicon order that I placed a $2000 deposit for, at full MSRP... I can't help but be frustrated by other orders being placed, built, and then walked away from. Meanwhile my Jeep is stuck in D status without a VIN and still months from being in my driveway...
I really like the idea of an easily removable bed top solution that offers more lockable storage, and a storage rack on top for longer things like kayaks.
But I need it to not interfere with the soft top operation, as I plan on going topless whenever it's not raining (just like my last vert)
My daily was a Subaru Impreza STi, and I'm confident that the JTR I have on order will be just as competent for everything I need. Except track days... but I can trailer a small race car for those!
Probably a lot of potential Gladiator owners just like me waiting for their dream machines to arrive! When I test drove the Rubicon and sport S on the lot, people went mental throughout the entire drives. But I haven't seen any in the wild other than on the dealership lot here in Victoria
Here in Canada, I had to put down a non-refundable $2000 deposit to order my manual Rubicon JT. They said they wouldn't be able to sell a manual on the lot, so the only way to get one was to order it. This worked out well for me because I got to spec it exactly as I wanted.
As you can imagine...
I couldn't get the steel bumper when I ordered my Sting-Grey Rubicon last month. At first I was pretty upset, but now I'm actually relieved and excited for the aftermarket options. I'm leaning heavily towards the new Rugged Ridge Arcus.
I prefer manual transmission in traffic. Keeps me awake! Autotragic is just so boring. And as for more maintenance over time?!? A clutch is a whole lot cheaper and easier to repair than a slipping transmission. Automatics cost a FORTUNE to replace (and no one repairs them anymore, just Re+Re)...
Love the look of your product, what a brilliant idea! I'd like to use rok straps to secure a 20 lb. Propane tank!
Count me in for the side panels for sure! Although I may skip the front panel, may not. I plan on transporting my dirt bikes a lot, so depending on how easily the front panel comes...
This is troubling! What type of trailer were you towing, and what was the difficulty, just fuel mileage? I'm leaning towards an offroad teardrop style like a Hiker or Oregon Trail'r. But I had been considering a larger 4000 to 5000lb. Stand up 4 person sleeper...
I have a Rubicon on order, and I really want a suspension upgrade... I was really interested in the factory Mopar lift, but it does seem like a waste to me to take off the brand new fox shocks and have them sit on the shelf uselessly. Especially after hearing so many rave reviews about how well...
I think that the compression of the engine is just simply too high to add boost reliably. Thats why they cant find the right tune, there isn't one unless you're running 100 octane all the time. Any turbo or supercharger kit should include 8.5:1 compression pistons and beefy rods. But then you...
I just ordered my Sting Grey Rubicon M/T and could not get the steel front bumper or the bluetooth speaker, or the soft top rear window bag, oddly enough. None of these options were deal breakers for me though, as I can always replace the front bumper, and the speaker was kind of frivolous...
