I did it with 37's and 4.5" lift. as soon as I got home I ordered a 6" lift and 38" tires. to stressful. I would not do it with less than 37", belly armor & at least 4.5" lift, 6" if you like to deflate to proper air down pressure for the trail. It's fun, but GO LIGHT! Don't take a bed load...
I only speak from experience, so don't get mad all you hard top lovers. The gladiator/Jeep hard top is an over priced hunk of junk. If you like more noise, leaks, pain in the rear to remove and store with less headroom, then the hardtop is for you. IMO, buying a convertable and defeating its...
So, I did this just before I took my JT out today (I hate driving in town) but ran to Costco. I could feel a few of them push ever so slightly down, so you maybe on to something here. Thank you. The plethera of warning lights did not pop on for todays drive, so keep your fingers crossed. This...
I like this idea. I have the time to troubleshoot it, so I'd rather pay me than a shop. Do you have such a tool? Or know where I can purchase one? FYI, this all started on a trail in MOAB when I went splashing through a mud puddle. Chicken Corners to be exact. Before that mud puddle, 0...
So, all these lights come on randomly now. In two wheel drive, the ESC comes on, if its in 4WD, the Sevice 4 Wheel Drive light accompanies the ESC light and ABS lights. If I'm in 4 Lo, the Down hill descent will sometimes engages, and that is a problem while out on the trails. There are no...

It would be kind of fun, spotting/ground guiding a jeep with no one in it.
On the flip side, is there "AI" insurance? A wrong move and it gets spendy right away.
I'd rather spend my $'s wheel'n. After I did the Rubicon trail I said "No more, its built & done" When it breaks something I will replace with an upgrade.
3 new MOAB BOH's added this last week; <<<<< & no goofy ducks added.
Golden Spike
Metal Masher
Cliff Hanger
I'm done, now its just trip...
Completely sucks, and I agree, the engineers to do better. This however is why I insisted on a "5 infotainment screen and a Sport with minimal electronics, since its for an off-roading vehicle with Fording capabilities. That said, I hope Jeep warrantee makes it right for you and you don't get...
I prefer no ducks. They are "participation awards" no thank you. It's never been a goal, and never will be a goal. Want a good feeling? Reach out to a veteran, or a kid in the "Make-a-Wish" foundation, and take them out on the trails. That sir, is a good feeling a "Rubber Duck" can't compete...
Yes!
and to me it says, Its all I could afford and its primarily a Daily driver. No Jeeper in their right mind would/could justify starting with a high trim level to build an off roading beast. (some do, but I don't have that kind of $'s) Now I'm not attempting to ruffle any feathers...
WOW! extremely sweet JT. tough decisions for sure. You have a lot of $'s tied up in it so I get the urge to sell it. If you can afford to keep it, and you love to drive it, Store it. Tough call, I hope you navigate through the decision making process safely.
If its motor driven or electronic in any way, it will fail, if you love to off road. I got these bolt on steps for my sliders. I have 4, but rarely use the back seat ones. 2 bolts to put on or take off. two easy and much better than attempting to get warranty work done on something electronic...
You can buy one from mopar. The Sport S, soft top comes with a tinted one. Glad you got the soft top to, you will never want a hard top again. Mopar did an excellent job on ease of use and fit.
A stock or slightly modified Mojave might keep up with the Lexus at highway speeds, but will not keep up with me on trails like the Rubicon. I don't desire a "plush JT" I have plush cars for car stuff. Headed to Moab soon, come do Metal Masher and cliff hanger with me, much more fun than any...
