  1. Just ordered new Overland. Two weeks later no word.

    Be patient brother or sister. With the current and/or past Covid event, EVERYTHING is slowed down. Give it a month or more... Before you get concerned.
  2. Gladiator vs Bronco.

    Food for thought... Can you imagine the ramifications on the Jeep brand, if Ford's Bronco brand went with a solid front axle? Or, if Toyota put solid front axles on the FJ Cruiser? Or imported to the states - the small solid axle'd Land Cruiser? Jeep would be in trouble. I'll bet these 4x4...
  3. Want to join. old guy, old Jeeps hate buying new ones

    I'm old school as well. In fact my 2017 Ford F250 has a manual Tranfer Case lever and manual locking hubs. That being said, this new generation of new vehicles and 4x4s have lots of computer controlled benefits. Or downfalls. Jeeps solid axle configuration is old school, and proven...
  4. Is this REALLY worth it?

    Diesels like to run long miles. Run and run. My situation was a 23 mile commute to work and back, with some several hundred mile runs pulling trailers. It sounds like you're set on doing the deal. So go for it. And don't look back.
  5. Is this REALLY worth it?

    No, it's not worth it. Personally, I wouldn't touch a modern diesel. Had two, (edit (had 3 if one includes my wife's diesel BMW)) loved the mph and massive power, but when one $50 sensor goes out, you're stranded. Ask me how I know. Current diesel emissions requirements are insane. The new...
  6. Want everyones opinion...Stubby or Full Length Bumpers

    Just got the wife's blessing on RockHard4x4 front full width aluminum w/lowered winch mount AND their rear bumper. USA made, but gonna be about $2,500.
  7. Gladiator vs Bronco.

    One reminder for those having problems UConnect, or Ford's Sync, etc, etc. This may or may not be your issue; But remember, these newer vehicles are computers. You wouldn't turn on your phone or home computer for a minute and then shut it off. I had a minor issue with my Dodge Challenger which...
  8. Bedlined it!

    Good job!! Had Linex Premium on a previous truck. It's the best of the best. Will do my Mojave when I get the time an extra $.
  9. Gladiator vs Bronco.

    Been an avid 4wd guy since the 70's. I've owned both solid axle and IFS 4x4s. I'll never go back to an IFS 4x4 unless it's a basic snow car like a Subaru. Bronco looks good, but that IFS was a deal killer for me, and it is for many hard core 4 wheelers. Did the 4wd club circuit for a few...
  10. Rubicon Locker Retrofit into Mojave

    Thank you! I plan to go with an Eaton E Locker up front, and tie it into a factory Rubicon dash switch. As I'm quite content with my factory Dana 44 on my Mojave. I'll do the locker install as I've done a few... & have the tools... saving the labor $ to a diff shop. Thanks for the info...
  11. Want everyones opinion...Stubby or Full Length Bumpers

    It looks pretty good. It seems that there are mods required to fit the Mojave lower skid. And if I order one I'll take it completely apart and repaint the steel parts because many reviews mention paint scratch or fade issues. As far as stubby or mid and full length it truly is a personal...
  12. Rubicon Locker Retrofit into Mojave

    So, Basically I'm interested in putting a front locker into my Mojave and installing the factory Rubi dash switch plate. To facilitate the operation in 4Lo and 4Hi. I know it's not brain surgery and ordering the right parts is the key. Any Jeep employees want to share the part numbers and such...
  13. Steering Wheel isn’t straight

    Thank you. I didn't realize that steering wheel locks were eliminated. I just wanted to save the OP the grief associated with a damaged steering column. I appreciate your input.
  14. Steering Wheel isn’t straight

    This is getting silly. The Force of turning your front tires with the weight of the vehicle on the ground, verses turning a steering thru the pitman, steering gear and steering wheel column all of which have bearings. You'll break your steering wheel lock inside the steering column before...
  15. Steering Wheel isn’t straight

    If you go to this video, as listed, at around 21:00 minutes... The failure with the video is: Respectfully; you must do the adjustment with the steering wheel unlocked... Or vehicle running.
  16. Steering Wheel isn’t straight

    When you adjust the drag link while the vehicle is on the ground, the tires don't turn, the steering wheel does. That's how you adjust the steering wheel to center. If the vehicle is off, and the steering wheel locks the steering wheel as you adjust the drag link, you will break the steering...
  17. Steering Wheel isn’t straight

    First, get your JT alignment taken care of by a good shop Then, if you want to center your steering wheel, by adjusting the drag link, make sure your steering wheel lock is unlocked!!! Just have the engine running when you do it. If you adjust the drag link without the steering wheel lock...
  18. Gasser real world fuel economy

    Next time you fill up, reset your trip meter to zero. Then the following next time you fill up take note of the gallons. Divide your trip meter miles by the gallons it took to fill up, and you've got true mpg.
  19. Gasser real world fuel economy

    I'm getting 17 mpg combo city / hwy average on my 2021 Mojave. I tested the mpg with cruise control on a flatish hwy trip last week for 300 miles. And I did acheive 22 mpg, and that was cruise control set at 70 mph. Which surprisingly was better than set at 65 mph cruise control. But, I...
  20. Relocating Mojave's Shock Reservoirs

    I came to an unscientific and unverified conclusion of why Jeep is welding the front lower frame 'horns' since the JK era: It's gotta be frontal impact and frame crumple zones for impact safety. Pushing the frame and engine lower under the cabin in the event of serious frontal impact.
