That sounds normal for a modern alternator, I had my aux battery fail so watched my voltage a fair amount while driving. 2nd the check the battery cables, also after any shop touches your electrical. I discovered a negative cable for my winch disconnected after the aux battery replacement. To...

I deleted my 60% seat and love it. No where near as nice looking as yours, but used extruded bars and a piece of plywood bolted in using the seat bolts. Keep my 55L fridge there when traveling. Also a good way to free up some payload if you don't need the seat.

I had the same experience with mine. Wobbly stock, then upgraded the suspension and drives straight and corners great, even with my cabover. With a little wider stance/tires and it rails.

Not so much my JT, but my older Wrangler ('05) I've gotten more paranoid about sounds and handling. I had a knock most times I would shift from park to reverse, especially when parked on hills, then wouldn't make a sound. I was convinced some rubber mount was rotted or I had drive-train play...

Besides the basic Falcons, I later added Dobinson springs to compensate for my added weight (camper, gear, winch, etc). Dobinson offers several target weight options with their springs front/rear as well as lift height. Their lifts heights are over a Sport, I netted 1" front/rear on my Rubicon...

I also found the stock Rubi shocks too soft/under dampened. I replaced them with the mid-tier Falcon SP2 2.1s and it made a big difference on the unsettling highway bounce.

I initially ran airbags so I could adjust between trip/non-trip load, then did Dobinson coils (no more airbags). The airbags were great to correct sway and ride, but I had lost 1" in height with the camper/winch. The Dobinsons are their light load spring rate up front (still accounts for...

Yeah, the galley under the RTT blows my mind that there haven't been more issues. People around here (Gallatin NF) wake up to to paw marks on the side or on their campers (usually black bears) all the time from them sniffing the scents. I wouldn't want to entice them with butter fried steak...

I found it useful to mention to the dealer that I'll "helpfully" submit it to JeepCares to "aid the dealer" in getting the work approved by Jeep. Apparently JeepCares will call them a bunch to get it resolved and annoys the dealers. My dealer was dragging their feet a little bit since I had a...

My aux was starting to fail just under 3 years and replaced under warranty. The service department caught it while debugging power steering issues when they tested both batteries. Besides the power steering electrical (none of us are 100% confident battery was related), I had no symptoms it was...

How long have you been running with the Genesis?

An ex-inlaw had a V8 swapped Chevy Luv with a removable hardtop, he chopped it off and added seals, buckles etc so it could be added/removed. The lid actually looked pretty clean. When there's a saw there's a way.

A midsize with a high payload package would be interesting. A current LC70 tows about the same as a JT, but has a ~2900lbs payload. Who knows how Australia qualifies payload vs the US though, and my 05' LJ has more creature comforts (ie weight) than a LC70. I don't see it happening with the JT...

I like most of the pie in the sky and realistic ideas here. The minimal items that would get me to buy a new/2nd JT would be a diesel with select trac and a DEF system at least as reliable as the Duramax system. A more proactive Stellantis on reliability issues in general. People like to poke...

I mean Ford brought back a pushrod design for the 7.3 and the new 6.8 in their Superduty, never know, it could happen ;)

Oh man, a factory Aussie style flatbed on a factory JTR would have my money and be very unique in the market. Flip down sides, underbed storage boxes and sometimes a better departure angle. Way wider bed platform too.

Haha, that's mine, hopefully I didn't lead you astray. I love my setup, it's a great MT rig.

Haha, yeah that was a fun day driving around Bozeman. Appreciated my 4auto and Grabber ATx, but that cream cheese on ice is always interesting. Turning especially was like trying to steer a carpet on glass.

Even in Montana where it's ideal for our conditions I had to order one to get a JTR w/4auto. Dealers don't bother checking the box even here, when it was a one off add-on. Now any Rubicon X package has it for all the $$$$.

Already said, add more weight, probably double your sand bags. Specifically in my trucks I've usually have had a topper + ~160lbs of sand and gear over the axles in the winter. So 360-400 lbs almost in my F150s/Taco/JT. Makes a big difference. Even my old Wrangler gets the back seat put back in...
