  1. Overland Owners: anyone running aftermarket tires on stock wheels?

    Interested. The stock street tires just look wrong on a Jeep but not ready to drop $1k to replace brand new tires. I'm leaning KO2 as well but was just planning on sticking to the stock size.
  2. Collision Avoidance False Positives

    Lol, that took me a while on my Honda to trust just because it was new for me. Now I use it all the time if I'm in stop and go traffic. I do wish the Jeep would hold it stopped though instead of just deactivating after it's stopped.
  3. Oil change surprise

    The manual doesn't even say the oil has to be synthetic just that is has to be 0w20, API certified, and approved to FCA MS-6395. If it meets those, the OLM should be fine to determine it's life. If the dealership says it's only good for 3000 miles they're either trying to get more oil changes...
  4. Oil change surprise

    It's all probably synthetic or blend.. I don't think full conventional can hit 0w20 (yet).
  5. Collision Avoidance False Positives

    Personally I'm sold on it. I haven't had any issues or errors with my Jeep and only a few false warnings on the Honda but no false brake applications. On the Honda though, it did save me from rear ending someone on the highway while going 75. I was paying attention but they cut me off out of...
  6. Priority of accesories/upgrades for newbies

    Mine came with the Jeep slush mats, a spray in bed liner, and window tint plus I think the factory LED lights are pretty damn bright so right now the only thing really on my list is new tires. The street tires that come on the Overland are just embarrassing for a Jeep.
  7. 10 hour drive after picking up JT

    ~2k RPM, maybe a tad over that with 3.73s, will be a little higher with 4.10s.
  8. 10 hour drive after picking up JT

    I live in BFE with few dealerships nearby and the ones that are here suck so I try to avoid them. I've bought one 70 miles away, one 190 miles away, two 250 miles away, and my JT I bought 700 miles away (put 1000 miles on it within a week, all highway). All of them I drove fairly typically home...
  9. Brake Hissing

    I've left mine idling some and never noticed it but I'd assume the engine can provide enough vacuum to satisfy whatever the set point is at park idle and the brakes not being touched.
  10. Brake Hissing

    I could have sworn mine was cycling yesterday afternoon while I was holding my foot on the brake. It wasn't a fast cycle or anything. Seemed like a few seconds on, a few minutes off, a few seconds on. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention to it coinciding with me moving my foot, I'll have to pay...
  11. Brake Hissing

    I've noticed mine cycling if I'm going through a drive-thru. It does seem more noticeable than the pump on my Canyon was but being a DI engine it was quite a bit louder so probably just covered the pump noise up. With the JL/JT chassis being such a new design I'm surprised they didn't just go...
  12. Music in your Gladiator

    Usually between SXM on Road Trip Radio or Pop Rocks and Android Auto with whatever random shit I feel like listening to on Spotify, usually my "Daily Drive" or my driving playlist.
  13. Prospective buyers beware

    The cabin temperature sensor is behind the grill on the dash to the right of the steering wheel by the driver's knee.
  14. Prospective buyers beware

    Once again, there is no full "Manual Mode" the temperature is always operating automatically. Looking at your garage, go try it out on the listed Civic or CR-V. My 18 CR-V behaves the same as the Jeep. Set it to 72 in "Manual Mode" and it's cold in the cabin it'll run warm until it gets close to...
  15. Prospective buyers beware

    I realize it's called "manual mode" but I don't think it's full manual. I did get a chance to mess with both it and my other vehicle on the way home from work Tuesday and yesterday. The JT does not have the partial auto that my other vehicles have had where it'll still control whatever hasn't...
  16. Prospective buyers beware

    When I'm saying "kick it out of auto' it's kicking it out of full auto where it's controlling temperature, fan, and direction. My previous vehicles have had just varying degrees of auto with no fully manual mode and I'm assuming this is the same (but am planning on testing it tomorrow). What...
  17. Prospective buyers beware

    Those specific pages are covering the manual, single zone a/c system in the base Sport model not the automatic, dual zone a/c system on every other model. Granted, I've only had my JT for three weeks and it's spent almost all of it's time in auto. I tried this experiment in my Honda on the way...
  18. Prospective buyers beware

    On the JT, just like every vehicle I've owned with auto A/C, there is no manual mode. "Auto" means everything is automatic. Hit the fan speed and the direction and temp stay in auto despite zero notification otherwise. Same if you hit the airflow direction, fan speed and temperature will still...
  19. Observations from 600 mile trip on Day 1

    They both have ParkSense but I believe on the JT it is just sensors in the back bumper that beep at you when you get close to backing in to things or if you have blind spot monitoring beep at you if a vehicle is approaching from the side while backing up. For self parking I don't see how it...
  20. Observations from 600 mile trip on Day 1

    That's a first I've heard of that. Not sure how it'd work since it lacks the ability to turn the steering wheel itself.
