I too noticed engine noise. Switched to 93 octane and its much better. I've only noticed smoke once after sitting for three weeks. Owned a year / 5700 miles.
35 will fit without a lift. As far as the stock rim holding a 35 I have no first hand knowledge of. As for the voiding of warranty there is plenty of info out there showing as long as the mod you completed can't be linked to the failure. It should be covered. But I've never had a problem with...
I have gained two new rock chips in the same spot. So I wanted to warn everyone so they can protect theirs before this happens to them. I'm now looking into a clear bra type protection for this area to protect the other hinges or possibly those covers.
Just tested the MT the other day in some sloppy mud and they did hands down better than my buddies new Rubicon JL bfg ATs. You can hear them but only if you want to.
Yanked from behind and picked a different line. No damage the whole trip and that was the only time I was stuck. This thing is impressive in the mud. Id post some videos but I can't seem to figure out how. It keeps giving me a error message.
First time taking it off road and it preformed perfectly. The only issue which is known is the longer turning line. I was able to control my speed easily and had no issues stalling or finding the right gear. Only got it stuck once which almost flipped me over I think the longer bumper saved my...
Although I've only had mine two days and about 100 miles I have no complaints with the soft top pull back. No nose or sailing. I drive a Jeep so I don't even look at MPG.
So updated by the dealer that it should be here tonight and ready for delivery after ten. 16 days in kz.
Red Rubi MT cloth seats, painted flares, soft top, LED group, ordered 5-7-19
So after expecting to get the call over the weekend and didn't I checked in. I'm still in kz status without a set shipping date. Ordered 5-7-19. I'm so close to buying one off a lot it's not even funny.
If I knew it was going to take this long to get mine. I would have held out for it. Ordered 5-7-19 still waiting. But I'm so close I can almost feel the seat.
Update; Mine is on or was on a train as of the 8th of July. And now FCA says they have no other way to keep tabs on it. So now it's up to the less than informed dealership to keep me posted. I'm guessing any day now.
I can't speak of the mods for the JT but I know they had mods for a JK to bring the drivers seat back. I'm still waiting for mine so I got nothing for you. I will say I'm 5'10 @225 and it's about as small as id want to go.
