"Jeep truck" is good for a formal definition but too long in casual conversation: "I left my wallet in the Jeep truck" - nope. For one word, it depends on the audience. With nearly everyone I use truck. "I left my keys in the truck." With Jeepers or in an off road crowd I use Jeep. "I flopped...

By going with larger tires and a lift you've probably lowered your max safe tow rating (by how much is hard to say). In my opinion, not saying it can't be done but 7,000 lb is a tall order for the 3.6 Pentastar. Looks like that trailer is 5,125 lb unloaded. It's probably doable but keep in...

I think the engine covers became a thing around 10 years ago. I always thought it was silly, just another hood to open after you open the hood, and may be a heat trap (unverified) on a motor that already runs hot/lean for the sake of emissions. It also prevents quick and easy inspections -...

You'll never get your best deal until you walk away a time or two, or three. Not storming out, just being calm and polite and leaving with "we're not where I need to be but thanks" etc. They'll call you within 2 days. Plan on a car buying experience taking a full week or two. That also helps...

The red carbon fiber looking band is a nice touch.

The box should contain a label that looks like this (attached). That's what they want. Can you post a photo of what you sent in? Regardless if you can show enough proof of purchase, I expect and hope Bestop will honor the discount. The Bestop rep(s) here on the forum are responsive and helpful...

This seems like a rush to judgment. Isn't it reasonable to assume Jeep has vetted its vendors and trusts them to do their jobs? Some amount of quality assurance is good practice, and Jeep does that. If a company had to double check every piece of work done by a vendor, it would be pointless to...

That's a great idea! Mine shows no issues, going to do the same. Thank you! :beer:

If you got a bum Jeep your frustration is understandable but your time and effort might be better spent on simply nipping it in the bud, selling it and switching to another brand. Venting on forums can be healthy for sure but ultimately won't solve the underlying issue.

This might be an apple/oranges thing but I had a Ram with the ZF 8HP70 and in 30+ years of driving a slew of different vehicles I've never had a better transmission.

What Borla exhaust did you go with? Were you able to reinstall the spare wheel and heat shield without clearance issues? Any chance we could hear a sound clip?

Dang. That looks awesome. How much do you love your Bestop Sunrider?! I just installed mine a couple weeks ago. Best mod so far.

EVERYBODY PANIC!! ;)

Not sure how normal it is but mine's been doing that on occasion since day 1 and I have 5,000 miles on it now. I just power through it. Lately I'm letting the RPMs run a little higher as I've become more familiar with the ride and I'm thinking this might lessen the sputter effect.

Vocal minority. (please don't take that as denying there are some issues or dismissing those have them)

Why are you down shifting from 2 to 1? If you're in 2 and coming to a stop, just pop it into neutral and brake. By the time you're at the low end of 2 you should be going plenty slow. If you're in 2 and want to crawl and not stop, 2 should have enough torque that you can just stay in it. 1 is a...

The axle gear ratio was 4.10:1 (factory). The transmission gears I can't remember but I think it had the NSG370 transmission; there's a post around here somewhere showing the ratios side by side, JK vs JT.

Based on my experience towing around 3,600 lb with the same motor, I wouldn't want to try 6,600. Granted, that was with a manual transmission in a 2014 JK. Stability was fine, but my issue was with pulling power, torque. It was okayish, but certainly not great. The auto should be a little more...

Ugh. Hang in there! Does your state have a lemon law?

Woah. Here: :beer: :)
