Rarely, do i read something and nod along in agreement.
This guy gets a lot of what many of us think about right

Its horrible truck
HD ram chevy ford tows better.
Its a horrible off roader
A 2 JL is much better for rock crawling
Its loud.
It doesnt ride smoothly
Horrible mpg. Even before you put real tires on it
A mini van engine is crap in a truck
It might be the worst pick up on the market
I...
I promise that A) your steering stablizer did fail and B) that is a symptom not cause of your issue
The stabilizer is an attempt to reduce the wobble to your hands so you dont freak out. That is failed just means the issue(s) have been there a while. As all have said above check tq on all...
Cuellar13 offered some help. I will ask. Is there anything any of us can do to help you? I dont have any good contacts in corp like C-13 but i could recommed a few service techs in Fl that can diag weird issues
Thinking some more i dont think a larger engine would be good. Too much power on a light truck can be as bad as too little.
Towing limits wouldnt change i think.
This is roof off doors off weather. Unless i have to go "over the bridge" like today. Oddly i dont take the rear doors off. As the grandkids need doors.
I admit the mini van engine isnt a stump puller but hell no on a turbo 4. I couldnt swallow the fear i have of def manged diesel so mini van v6 for me. If they could squeeze 392 into the wrangler it should be doable for the gladiator. Im a no on the new hurricane if they offer it. Heat soak...
Florida here. Get JTs on the lot and they will sell. 23s just started hitting lots. Been nothing for months as 22 inventory is long gone. I like many here would not have been a JL buyer. Need a bed. So sadly i would have gone the taco route if there was not a JT. I would love to see the...
P90Ed. The brake warning has to be a loose wire somewhere. I haven't tracked it down. It happened to me again yesterday when i was running thru mud, the forward emergency brake system only resumed function after all the wet mud had dried. So i know somewhere there is a loose or exposed wire...
If you are going to 38s. I would still recommend regear to 4.88s for the ecod. You want to have 8th gear usable. Also. Those tires. Truces for the axles and moly axles. You are talking about a lot of unspun weight with 22s.
I think this makes a lot of sense. Looking forward to your updates post install.
Really interested in long term health. How does the gear hold up 2-3 years exposed to the eleme
If you never had a solid front axle before it can be jarring how diffent a Jeep drives. The only other trucks left are heavy duty pickups coming from any other newish truck is still a huge driving difference
Yikes. Please see another dealer. Zero of thst list makes sense or priced reasonable
The diff oil replacement. (4x4 service) is really not a 30k item and price was 199$ for me. The fuel systems services are redundant and not required
Cabin and air filter are more more than 200% over...
