Why they aren’t hurting anything. There is no proof the shocks cause this. And I don’t buy that. The 1/8 tabs on the axle should easily deform before or with the frame if shocks are the real reason here. That bend just happens to be the weakest point on the frame and right where the cab and...

They definitely are. Crawling it’s probably not an issue to worry about. High speed I can see why it’s happening. Big thing is if you want to try the fast thing at least have the common sense to lessen the load.

Just a cheap twin tube with shaft mounted shock savers. They come into play about the same point.

Based on my user name you can guess I am a fan of that combo.

That pic reminds me of the J8 used by militaries around the world. It’s not as it has coils in the rear. I would LOVE a J8 with its front coils and rear leaf springs.

Even though that notch is there I don’t see it making the frame bend in half unless you run these at high speed and overloaded. There are too many trucks in the salt belt with massive rust holes in that area that don’t fold. I have repaired a few and those were channel frames.

My early 2020 max tow does as well

Beat me to it!

I had to do the same thing. But I was able to just roll something underneath as I picked up on the top. You only need about 2-3” of clearance to fit the ratchet or Allen key

I definitely agree with that playing a part here. A shorter wheelbase will feel quicker, with its more active ride. But the weight isn’t that much different, 400lbs should easily be compensated for by the lower 3.73 gears. That’s only two average adult males. I honestly believe the curve...

Forced induction is forced induction. A non turbo diesel is a turd even if it’s 7.3l displacement. Again, displacement has nothing to do with pulling. There are plenty of smaller motors that produce more usable power than larger ones. It is all about the power band location and nature of the...

Yes because mileage means anything here. The wife and I can swap Jeeps and get drastically different results. She gets 15-17 per tank in the JT and I get 17-20. In the JL it’s 18-20 for her and 21-23 for me. Driving style matters more than motor in that case. His toyos are probably heavier...

Just hopped on the green light website. Turns out they are based not far from me and have some great Jeeps

It’s not fact, it’s subjective based on your feel. Show dynos, timed runs, etc. I bounce between both regularly. The 3.6 in the JT has to shift down to 6th at the slightest incline with 4.10s, the JLU with 3.45s may not see 8th as often but will just sit in 7th and not bog.

Why do people always say this? Lack of personal comparisons over the long term maybe? If your buddy thinks the 2.0T is slow with 35s he would be trading the 3.6 the same day. Drove the JLU this morning, still much quicker than the JT… and gets 3-4 mpg better. Just not sure why people need to...

Man that sucks the diesel ones seemed to valves perfect for my dynatrac springs on the JLU

I have the same feeling driving the JT. That’s comparing to a JLU sport with 3.45 gears and heavy 34s. The JT is a max tow with 4.10s, and light 35s. I have no problems with either though. Both feel like lambos compared to the 4.0 TJ with a 3spd auto ??

Depends on which leather you get in the JL. Mopar quilted vs factory standard. The mopar is actually factory install katskinz on a cloth based seat

Looks like they got to put 4000lbs in the bed to even it out.

I would rather have the floor cup holder, the middle seat has a kid in it so that cup holder would be useless. I don’t think it’s really greed but rather another way to differentiate trims.
