I know this is common knowledge here but for those who don't know the engine is made by Fiat in Italy. The Europeans will know more about small diesel engines than we ever will because they were paying real fuel prices for decades and were forced to squeeze every ounce of efficiency out of an...
wanted to update this, I am currently around 4000 plus miles and have had zero issues. I honestly think the fuses weren't seated from the factory. After we got about 1500 miles the MPG went from around 20 to 27. I'm super impressed with this little diesel! I had to sell my 2016 Ram 2500...
Now that some time has gone by how do you feel your AEV spacer lift is doing? It seems like this is the most complete way to go just for the Pro cal tuner they include to recalibrate tire size and speedo gearing right?
You keep saying “In racing “. I’m not planning on entering any races. My concern is high temps when I’m crawling over boulders and rough terrain. Again waaaay over thinking this thing. It’s entertaining though. I enjoy the Jeep owner overachiever discussions. Haha.

Just introducing my new buddy before I start to make improvements. So happy Jeep finally came out with a diesel! I have a built TJ. That started life as a sport and is basically a Rubicon now.
I want to keep it stock for a minute and do my research but I’ve already ordered rear air bags .since...
