You cherry picked here. No one is talking about a 1970 era engine. My Jk had a LS3 crate engine with 6L80E trans. Got 22 mpg on highway with 4:88 gears. Would be great engine for JL and JT. I have an LT1 crate engine that is destined for my JT soon. Lighter than hemi and easier to install. Cant...
The auto manufactures are in trouble because they keep trying to meet standards imposed by regulations that exceed existing technology. Instead of standing up as a collective force and pushing back they went along with the chaos. Remember who owns part of Mopar here. A foreign company with its...
Depends on who you believe about tariff's. Im in the “no significant change” camp. Don’t over think this issue. If you want a new Jeep, buy it. If not, dont.
Darn, why didn't I think of that! Great idea, thanks. Since it is an emergency spare mostly, can't understand why the designers didn't think of this problem. Very annoying. Thanks again for the heads-up.
Okay, but I would settle for just a way to make the damn spare key that comes with the fob stay folded into the device instead of popping out in my pocket all the time. Vehicle design engineers......aren't.
Gas mileage only matters when you are overlanding and have 150 miles of dirt, rocks and sand and you are in 4x4 and second or third gear most of the time.
Yeah, you are likely correct. I just hate this stuff. There are so many things to do in life that contribute to society and help make things better that I find this outrageous stuff a waste of time for me. There are lots of guys out there trying to make jeep life better for all of us by solving...
The farther you mount a wheel/tire from the rest of the suspension and support elements like the ball joints, the greater the moment you create on them. The distance away (moment arm) determines how much stress you place on the support structure. Jeeps have suspect ball joints to begin with so...
In my opinion, none of them. Get some wheels that are designed with an offset that works for your jeep. Your ball joints and critical suspension parts will thank you.
Good points. The soy based materials they use to insulate wires in cars today make mice very happy. I keep a couple of cubes of mice bait hidden in my engine compartment when I am out overlanding or visiting my rancher friends out west. The little critters can do thousands of dollars in damage...
