The Bilstein stabilizer is just a replacement part for the stock stabilizer, but I’ll probably swap it back to stock if I ever take it in. This Jeep reminds me somewhat of the last three Harley touring bikes I bought new in the past five years. The factory suspension is universally recognized as...

About $400 with Trail Seven for some Kicker speakers for the dash and sound bar.

I’ve paid attention to these posts, and been paying more attention to exactly what my ’25 Rubicon is doing on the road that bugs me. I’ve lowered cold tire pressures down to about 33 and paid close attention to the steering. This Jeep only has 7,000 miles on it and there seems to be very little...

I had some rust issues underneath my new 2024 Sport S. I was standing next to the service manager when he called the warranty adjudicator (my term). The word was there had to be bubbling paint to open a warranty claim. Looks like y’all have bubbling paint.

His profile says it’s a 2014 JKU

My 2025 JT weather stripping is identical. Pull the end of the weather strip down a little and you can see how it is attached.

Not to get off track but those Mazda trucks you mentioned were great. Roomy cab for a small truck, low bed height so easy to get heavy stuff in and out of it and a whopping 78 HP from the factory. We inherited my wife’s dad’s truck. I sold it to a landscaper after I wore it out.

Thanks for the info. I don’t listen to the radio much, and I’m old enough to remember nothing but AM radio, with a single speaker in the dash, but these new JT audio systems do suck mightily. I ordered the Kicker CS dash and soundbar speaker upgrades from Trail Seven. Easy install. I’ll decide...

I had a local Leonard store put a Rugged drop-in in my last JT, and would have put one in my current JT if it didn’t already have a Mopar spray in bed-liner when new.

When I was in the car biz a longgggg time ago, my boss drove his demo to the corner convenience store for a bag of Cheetos one evening. He left the car running outside, and someone immediately stole it. We saw it on the six o’clock news that night with the highway patrol in hot pursuit, with...

I’ve never shopped Ram trucks so I figured I’d give it a shot, but was quickly seeing that an apples to apples comparison would be pretty difficult. I’m just always surprised at how crazy expensive 3.92’s are and the 5.7 alternatives are not a heck of a lot cheaper when I look at Rubitrux...

I was on the Ram Truck webpage so I could compare trucks with the 5.7 versus the 6.4. Not that I plan on a Ram truck, but just to get an idea of what to expect if I put a 5.7 in a JT, versus the existing Wrangler 392’s. What got my attention before I could even find a Ram truck with a 6.4, is...

I guess some of it is just personal preference and what we are accustomed to. This is just my second Jeep, with the first being a JT Sport S, which is a great ride, but wandered also, even with the light truck tires they run on them. I have owned a whole lot of big, floaty American sedans way...

I can see how this might be so. I’ll report back after the install.

It reads about the same as three new Harelys with factory TPMS I’ve owned in the past five years, and about five other vehicles with factory TPMS over the past 6-7 years. So I’m just picking a number somewhere in the middle.

I’m down to 30-33 lbs cold depending on which gauge I believe. I think the TPMS reads 2-3 lbs high, but haven’t confirmed.

Somebody posted this part number up thread. So this is the LCA we’re discussing for a 2025 JT? Mopar says it is...

Good suggestions all, and thanks. I’m running tire pressures at 33 cold according to the TPMS, and 30 according to the tire gauge that I *thought* was accurate. I read a lot of reviews on the Bilstein damper that were all very positive, of course, but I think my good experience thus far with...

No particular bad behavior, just what I would expect with solid front axle. The Bilstein 5100 shocks were an improvement over new stock, and I’m thinking for another $115 for the Bilstein B8 5100 damper, I can do likewise with the steering. Hopefully..

I just read a bunch of reviews on the Bilstein stabilizer. Big improvement over stock, just like their shocks I just installed. Looks like a no brainer, easy install, and not a lot of dough.
