Auto start stop is definitely a contributor to wear. Tazer keeps that junk turned off.

Sure do. The difference is less than negligible. Pressurized oil getting to moving parts as quickly as possible is of an exponentially higher priority than residual oil film.

“Most wear happens at cold startup” so you choose an oil with a THICKER cold viscosity so it takes LONGER to get to the moving engine parts. That makes sense.

The JL/JT are pretty modern as is, by Jeep standards. Heck compare them to the JK which is in comparison a giant pile. Not sure what you’re looking for. If you want modernization and refinement there are many SUVs to choose from.

LOL So, you know more than the engineers who spec the oil. ROFL even.

Does the manual recommend a different weight for warmer climates?

EVERYONE is an armchair oil engineer on the internet. Meanwhile I know one personally. His advice? Run what the OEM recommends. Use a high quality oil with a good additive package, and do analysis. I don't know much about oil, so I'm going to do what he says.

That's weird because I just checked their website and it said available as soon as tomorrow. I don't know where in TX you are, but I just plugged in the San Angelo, TX location.

This bears repeating. Has this been tried?

No Discount Tire near you? They are good about transferring tires from shop to shop.

24-25K on my '23 now. Zero issues. Still like it a lot. Been able to take a couple trips and do some overlanding and off-roading, hopefully more in the future.

I am glad you added a laugh emoji, for a second I thought you might be serious! Jeep will never offer the JL or JT with tons.

I have Toyo Open Country AT3s in 285/75/17 and am pleased with them. Very little noise, and they are wearing evenly with a little over 18K miles on them. Based on the rate of wear I fully expect to get 50K out of them. They've been really good off-road as well.

Lockers are obviously superior in some situations, but I think many people underestimate the capability of BLDs. There is going to be an advantage to the 4:1 transfer case in some crawling situations, but in 1st gear the 2.7:1 case is so low that it’s going to be fine most of the time, and I...

Thanks guys. Nothing to buy on the radar yet, but pretty likely will get a Clayton Overland Plus lift by this time next year. I also need to make a decision on the tonneau cover. It's nice to have, keeps things dry and somewhat secure in back, but it's also tough to use with the rail...

That's what I did. Full PPF in the door jambs. I have these on top. I think they are the Mopar ones? Cant' remember.

The Shadow 2 still works good, one issue I was having was an occasional failure to extract. Changing the extractor spring is a pain in the butt... Gun would still run ok, but now all my magazine tubes are worn out, specifically the feed lips. Mags are expendable, all of my mags have had the...
