I participated in the Plymouth Troubleshooting Contest in 1986. Nice to meet a winner. I wasn’t.

JT has a lower drag coefficient because they lowered the headroom 3-4 inches. At 6’3”, I’d like the headroom back please.

Love the two door look. There was a company that sold a kit to make a JKU into a pickup. Can’t remember their name right now.

They might as well have painted the doors orange. At least that way it would look like you meant to do it. You can’t panel paint a metallic and get a match.

Try removing interior panel so you can soak the bolts with penetrating oil. Also heat cycling stuck bolts is very effective. Have to be super cautious near painted finishes.

You will also need to add the brackets for the hardtop. Most sellers of hardtops don’t include them as they are a PITA to remove. Available as a set on Amazon. Much cheaper than dealer. Watch a UTube video for the install on the windshield brackets.

To me, every one of those cars screams “I’m spending my Dad’s money”.

I’ve been waiting for a set Terra Grapplers to wear out so I can go bigger. It’s not happening. Bought them for the rims with 40k on them. I’ve put another 30k on them with my last two Jeeps. They will not wear out. Just buy the tires you want and put the originals back on when you sell it.

Looking at a set of Goodyear Territory MT 315/70/17 for my ‘23 Rubicon. Anyone have any experience with this tire. Specifically wear/lifespan.

Best to do your own. Their monkeys only go by what the computer says a 100% stock Jeep should be. The second you change anything, those specs are wrong. Most good lifts will come with adjustable lower control arms to correct caster and pinion angle. Glad you got it figured out.

Looks awesome. Great job.

This is how my dealer tried to give me back my Jeep after a transmission replacement. They could have killed me. “No one will ever do what you expect, only what you inspect”.

I wouldn’t accept anything short of a complete long block and a loaner for the entire time they have it. Every vehicle I’ve ever bought that included x number of oil changes, I’ve told them no thanks.

I put the Coverking Topliner in my JT. Not the same as painting at all. That said, I think what I like most is the black color. The inside of the Jeep is so much darker now. Much less eye strain on long trips.

After you get your toe in plates, the first thing is to make sure your steering wheel is 100% centered. After that, I will say from experience that 1/16” changes in toe makes a big difference in how your Jeep tracks. Small changes at a time. Too much toe and you’ll be buying a lot of tires.

Bragging about Max Tow is like saying “I’m the tallest short guy in the room”. I’ve been a Jeep guy my whole life, starting with a 1978 CJ7. Currently have a 23 JT Rub. When I tow, I do it with my 2500 Silverado. I’d never buy a Jeep to tow anything. Jeeps have their purpose, but towing isn’t...

Always read the estimate closely for what the adjuster writes. Repair = bondo. Replace = like it came from the factory. I do not like the amount of Repair on that estimate. It’s why a $15k job is being done for $4k.

Seat jackers are great. Much more comfortable, but still not enough headroom for me. Removed the plastic trim covering the roll bar/sound bar. Huge difference in headroom now.

My 18 JKU manual did not have start stop. Autos did. Are you sure you have it?

Often manufacturers will reduce MSRP but keep the dealer’s cost the same. Essentially squeezing the dealer. Just changes how much off sticker we can get. What we ultimately pay for it, after negotiating, may not change.
