Funny thing is I just saw 2 on the lot about an hour ago when I picked up my JK after window replacement, and was walking around looking at the latest models including finally seeing a Smokey Mountain edition.
I think the 2 dr Sahara is very popular out here (I see it alot vs Sport B but the...
The engine won't be the limitation, it'll be the suspension.
Probably all 3 would have enough torque to pull the current 3,500'lbs rating, and likely the split at capability will occur around 6,000; however, other components will likely limit the JL(U) to 5,000 lbs or less, as an arbitrary...
The NV242 uses a mechanical diff, not viscous unlike the NP249/229 etc. which makes it somewhat more durable and no loss of energy that you get from a VC.
Sorry, I should've been clearer, to offer it in RockTrac needs a redesign to add a diff like a plate, viscous, or Torsen diff inside or inline adjascent to the system... essentially turning it into an NP/NV242 or something similar. So not just adding FT to the NV241OR.
While there is the...
No I wouldn't say two Rubis, but something pedestrian as the second one... similar to my second one. JK with manual doors/windows/trans, and just hardtop, 17" upgrade, EVIC, and 430 headunit (moded for rear cam to not run-over cottage kids & pets and eithers' toys). That's about the price...
Easy is a relative term, but usually they state it clearly with the official PR announcement about the special edition, which is usually repeated by the press/reviewers.
Also often it's stated in the Window Sticker description, sometimes with the Sport/Sahara base in the description with the 24...
LOL you first pic looks like my first day in the NorthWest Territory last year, and all the Silica dust impregnated the carpeting and also cause the front passenger Window rocker switch to fail and just covered everything. PThe black shows up every bit if dust & grime, and is only beneficial at...
I realize it could be a higher ratio, but even on the Hummer with the 242HD and the Jeep's 242J, I've only ever seen it as a 2.72:1, which is why I say "no other option currently", as they could always change that should FCA so desire to better fit the new large ratio 1st and massive spread of...
:like:
It's also amazing that when you do get the Saddle / Tan interior... the ArmRest is still FAQin' Black !!
(edit see above, pic posted between when I hit submit)
One of the first things I buy with a new Wrangler, new fabric armrest cover for that hot-plate of an armrest.
I know that kinda trekking (17,000KMs in just over a month, Coast to Coast Cross Canada for Canada 150 Trek for me, longest day 1,600 KM from Dryden to Calgary from sun-up to sun-down, I've driven it so many times [like 20x] no point in sight seeing).
For that 4Lo won't matter, and both...
Not really. Unlike your Axle ratio, it's only 4:1 in 4Low, and really IMO that gives you much better control for the 4Lo stuff.
Now the one possible drawback is if you like to drive 'somewhat quicker' in 4lo , especiallylocked, in which case you get about 10+ MPH from the 2.72:1 vs the 4:1, this...
Nah, the reason the Rubi gets the RockTrac is because it's still a 4:1 ratio, Command Trac and Select-Trac are both 2.7:1 ratio with no other option currently. So it does make sense to Have full blown RT on Rubicon
Hopefully Select-Trac is offered on other 'special editions', because I want a...
OK, first big WHOA, is what Milous mentioned in this thread;

F'ing SELEC-TRAC !! :surprised: :like: :rock: :clap:
Need so much more info on...
The 2018 JK Order Banks are open in Canada, opening in the US next week according to inside sources.
As mentioned by Joker, the JL/JLU order banks don't open until November.
The JT Order Banks won't open until mid 2018 at the earliest, and likely much later than that.
Unfortunately AEV didn't expound further when I was looking into the Brute and regular Hemi mod (towing woulda helped justifythe price)
My understanding is that the suspension geometry in the Wrangler is a negative and doesn't react well to rearward towing strain on the setup, and that the...
Yep, Exactly.
Or the original Ram HD2500 Off-Road and a separate JKU/JLU for the cottage, for the price of just the AEV.
When I mention how much I want a Hemi Wrangler, and also how much I like AEV & their stuff, and that they are technically a 'local business' , people always ask me why I...
