your key fob ;)

That's where my gas credit card goes to make sure it's easily accessible every other day :crying:

How in the world do you get 20mpg going up any type of grade? With 4.10s I could barely hold 8th gear here in Texas and above 75mph the fuel economy just dropped to 15. That was driving back from Roswell on relatively flat highway. With 35s I've dropped down even further and I definitely do...

I had a Lexus GX (4runner with a V8) and don't miss it at all. The Jeep is just more enjoyable off-road, needs less money to be trail ready, and the Rubi/Mojave can fit 35s without a lift/modification.

It's not unbearable but I would prefer 4.88 so I can hold 8th gear on a reasonable grade. I didn't even love the 4.10 gearing with the stock tires. My new 315/70 BFG measure out like 34" and makes 8th gear elusive.

haha, gotcha I figured Texas is pretty flat compared to some regions combined with some people just not paying attention to the loss of 8th gear.

Someone else gets it. My CJ7 did not like anything above 60mph, and it sure took its sweet time even getting there. The later 4.0 was better in every way but still anemic by today's standards. The idea the 4.2 had 200 hp is laughable

I plan to re-gear my Mojave to 4.88. I found the stock 4.10 barely adequate for the stock 287/70 tires and the 315/70s I just bought really make it hunt for gears on the freeway. The BFGs I chose even run small... I drive with a light touch and it just won't hold 8th at 70mph unless I'm...

Don't plan to lift it at all. I will re-gear at some point because the stock 4.10 suck for the bigger tires, but otherwise this is all I have planned.

Wait, where was this 200hp 4.2 liter straight 6? My CJ7 had a ~100hp 4.2 liter that made like 180ft lbs of torque. The upgrade to the 4.0 HO netted a whopping 190hp and like 235ft lbs of torque. I don't love the pentastar but it's a better engine than the old AMC I6 tractor engine.

When does this sale end?

With leases the end user is paying for the depreciation on the asset at hand. That's why Jeeps have excellent lease rates because the residual value at turn-in time will be high. Leases get a bad rep because some people max out a lease payment to get in to a vehicle they couldn't otherwise...

The ride quality between the JKU and the JT is night and day. The Mojave drives a bit better over potholes than the Rubicon from my limited experience but the BIG jump in ride quality is apparent across the entire JT range. Even the JL Wrangler is a huge step up from the JK ride. FCA hit it out...

Leasing is certainly a viable finance product for the right person. Think of it like a tool in that there's no one tool that fits everyone's needs. Purchasing/financing a vehicle works for some, and leasing works for others. Both have their pluses and minuses. For me, I drive 3-4k miles a month...

To note, the "Jeep Wave" program is $150 if purchased outside of the new Jeep. Y'all are expecting personal concierge service for $150. Let that sink in. My dealership offers to get me a Lyft home and back up to the dealership to pick it up if I choose to not wait. Rental car world has been...

i didn’t see the premium softtop option on my build sheet but I do have the tinted rear window.

Haha same here. It has never let me down or had any issues, but if I ever have to replace it, I will get the HF Daytona jack. It goes lower, higher, and the release is smoother.

Yup the Daytona line at Harbor Freight is a good option for the hobbyist I bought a Craftsman 3 ton model years ago when Sears was still open, and it's okay but my friend's Daytona is better all around. Especially to release.

I agree with the sentiment that a V8 would be ideal but something more along the lines of the regular 5.7. Not that the 6.4 isn't bad ass, but I'd rather have a reasonable V8 for daily driving and hopefully a less crazy MSRP. The 392 Wrangler is awesome but it's super niche, limited...

Congrats from a fellow DFW JT'er! Looks great.
