You’re correct that the manufacture says mid grade is ok. They recommend premium though. Best to use premium if you’d like it to last past warranty.
My wife has a 2021 2.0t wrangler and I have a 2022 JTR MT. The wrangler gets significantly better MPGs on trips and is more comfortable pulling light trailer loads. I think this is more a difference of pulling with the auto vs manual though. Also, the 2.0t requires premium. Not really a...
Same here. I was really bummed when they announced no manual for the diesel. Complicated and expensive emissions systems turned me off after that. I’m pretty happy with the 3.6 manual though, but diesel paired with the manual would have been icing on the cake.
I did pull from a website. Didn’t see it at first. It’s with the tire information. Door sticker is 1013lbs. I’ve needed to go on a diet for a bit now anyhow. See ya later carbs.
This is a very good point and one I had not considered. I’ll have to do a bit of research to see if that could effect longevity. Part of me doesn’t care because I want to put a hemi in it anyhow but that’s a whole other discussion and something I won’t do for a long time.
I’d say we’re in the same boat then. At 80mph it would just hit 3k rpm with 5.13 and 33s in 6th. Seems perfect on paper to me and also still great with 35s. Let me know how it works out for ya after the install. I’m also very interested in chucking out the dual mass flywheel.
That's great to hear it's worked out well for you.
I agree on 1st. It really doesn't feel like it's actually 5.13:1. That's actually more of a granny gear in first than Jeep has put in in a long time.
You're right, I probably should do the math at least.
GVWR = 6250lbs
Curb Weight = 5050lbs
Carry Capacity = GVWR - Curb Weight
Carry Capacity = 1200lbs
Fuel = 6lbs per gallon * 22gal = 132lbs
All 4 passangers (Me, Wife, 1.5year old, and 2 year old) = 430lbs
RTT = 150lbs
Bed Cap = 250lbs
Gear =...
I have not. This is a bit overly drastic to the normal scenario. Took this for a family beach trip to OBX so a bit more gear than typical camping trip.
I actually have. Out of all the manuals I've had, I have to work this one the hardest. Just feels like I'm really flogging it to get it going. That in it self feels like abuse to the drive train lol.
Hey All,
Looking for people to tell me if this is a good idea or not. I drive mostly city/trails with a typical trip to a trail/park under 200miles. I'm pretty unhappy with the v6/4.10 gear pairing in my JTR 6-Speed manual. I think 4.10's would be good if the v6 made more torque down low but it...
Just picked up a 2021 JL with the 2.0. I was searching for a 3.6 as I was skeptical of the 2.0. My wife really liked a Snazzberry Altitude with everything she wanted. After driving the 2.0 I am pleasantly surprised. This thing rips.
I just can’t remember to touch the driver door handle first. Definitely agree it’s easy to do. Just not easy to remember. I’ll live I guess. Thanks for the replies!
Anyone know if it’s possible to add passive entry handles to the rear doors? I always have a bag to throw in the back seat and i just catch seen to teach myself to touch the front handle first to unlock it. I have a 2022 Rubicon.
Thanks!
Agree 100%
I drove around in 4th (which would be worse than switching to 4.88s) for a bit and mileage was just fine. I’m planning to go that gear set and Centerforce clutch. Keeping stock 33s too.
