I notice the same thing about XM reception from time to time. However, recently I noticed my XM radio plays much quieter than regular radio or bluetooth audio. I thought XM radio was supposed to be digital and sound better than an analog radio station, not quieter. Odd.

That's it! Our transfer case skid plates look totally different and it looks like I have no protection for my transmission compared to your Rubicon, even though that skid plate is listed as standard on the Jeep website for my 80th anniversary, but only listed as available for the Rubicon?? I...

Bed Side Rock Rails? I plan to get a set of those (especially after the recent pics), but Jeep is talking about something else when they say "Underbody Skid Plate." You didn't notice a skid plate covering anything other than the gas tank, transfer case, and transmission like I have on my 80th...

It's not at all about increasing the max volume. It is about clarity and fullness of sound. When I added larger and higher quality 4 ohm speakers to my Jeep I gained a lot of clarity, but I lost the rich powerful bass because the 2 ohm Alpine amp is not supplying enough power to the speakers...

Well that adds up. I guess they are just designed for your wider axle on the Rubicon. Not listed as a fitment for other trims like my 80th anniversary. I wonder who will be first to offer some differential skids for non-Rubicon Gladiators. The rock rails are listed separately on the...

Hmmm... so what is this "Underbody skid plate" that is listed on Jeep's site as the only skid plate on the Rubicon that is not on my 80th Anniversary? I have skid plates on my fuel tank, transmission, and transfer case from the factory.

There is definitely some variance in amp output quality between 2 ohm and 4 ohm. They can range anywhere from 50% up to close to 70% difference in power at the different ohm settings. Impossible to know for sure unless you have the exact power outputs from the manufacturer. Everything I read...

Those look like a lot better quality than the factory speakers. Now you will just need a different amp to power them since I am sure your new speakers are 4 ohms instead of the factory 2 ohm.

So do you have a skid plate on your Rubicon that goes in front of the skid plate on the transfer case to protect the exhaust that crosses over behind the engine and also covers the oil pan? I didn't think I would need to add anything to that hitch either.

Is that 1st picture your gas tank skid plate? Does your Rubicon come with a skid plate for the oil pan and exhaust that crosses over behind the engine? I guess I might keep my order for those Rock Hard Lower Control arm and shock skid plates after all. ? Glad that I am planning to add some...

The Rock hard lower control arm and shock skid plate kit is on super back order. On second thought I may cancel that order since they are pretty well covered up already, except for the rear shocks. I think it would be tough to hit the oil pan since it is much higher up than the front...

I ordered the Rock Hard Lower Control Arm and shock skid plate set (incorrect picture). Sounds like I will need to pick up longer bolts for the shocks? I am also considering the Quadratec aluminum oil pan/transmission skid plate. Anyone try this out yet?

Done. Thanks!

Do you have a Rubicon?

I already had it installed at my local dealer. It turned out to be easier than we thought as it only took 1-1.5 hours. It should be available from any Jeep dealer. Hopefully, I don't have to use it for a while.

In the last few days I got the chance to install a few parts. Mostly good. The one you can skip and I am returning to Extreme Terrain is the DV8 front differential skid plate. The part looks durable, but the U-shaped clamps that attach it to the axle housing make really hard contact on the...

I agree completely. I thought this would be much easier. The DV8 skid plate was packaged really well and the skid plate itself looks very durable. It is the U-shaped mounts that go over the axle housing that are the issue. Terrible engineering. I had a bad feeling installing it that I would...

Are you back in the states yet and did you get the Livernois tune? I called them up the other week and it was exactly what you said. If I remember correctly he quoted about 26hp and similar torque gains at the peak and some areas in the power curve where it was up to 50+ hp difference. That...

I ended up getting the Mopar block heater for my Jeep. Along with having heated seats and for the first time- a heated steering wheel, and remote start- this thing is going to be nice this winter.

I finally got into the Jeep Adventure Academy event at the Badlands in Indiana on Oct. 14th! Sweet!! Is anyone else going to this?
