    Add me as a strong tentative. Should be out there NLT Monday. Looking forward to it! -joe
  2. $7000 = Mopar Lift + Wheels/Tires!?

    Not intending to sway your choice, just share my experience. I’ve paid much less for the purchase and install of my 3.5” Clayton Premium lift, five Black Rhino Riots beadlocks, and five 37” Mickey Thompson Baja Boss’s at a local off road shop. My dealership is actually mod friendly and I have...
  3. Lets see all those Gladiators with lifts and bigger tires!

    Moving from a 2.0 JLUR on 37’s to a diesel JTRD on 37’s, I can share that it’s a night and day difference. Still has some great get up and go and averaging low 22-24 mpg at 70-75mph. All while still having tons of fun. Set up is Black Rhino Riot’s wrapped in 37” Mickey Thompson Baja Boss M/Ts.
  4. Longest Continuous Drive in Your JT?

    I have driven and ridden a motorcycle from Northern VA to Key West and back multiple times and would like to recommend the Amtrak’s Auto Train (which travels non-stop from Lorton VA to Sanford FL and back to Lorton VA) if your in a hurry or to save some seat time.
  5. Ecodiesel Firecracker Sport S Build

    What size did you go with? 4.56?
  6. I've got a (good) problem?

    I would like to know as well, when you have the time. Thanks in advance!
  7. Netherlands

    Here is a start, however you will need to talk to TMO. How to Transport Your Car for Military Assignment.
  8. Sting Gray line-x. Anyone have it done?

    I had my Tundra’s bed color matched to Cement Gray and it was a $100 add on for the 6.5’ bed and Ultra w/UV inhibitors. I would have done the same with my Gladiator, but it’s white ?.
  9. July 27, 2022 OURAY Trip, planning and plotting thread

    I lived in Parker, southwest of Denver, from 2008-2011 and usually vacation at least every other year since. Drove my JLUR to our vacation in Vail last September to hit Holy Cross. It was a blast! Definitely want to get out there again, take in the scenery, and hit the passes!
  10. July 27, 2022 OURAY Trip, planning and plotting thread

    Seriously considering it and thanks!
  11. Why did you go diesel?

    Purchased mine based on experience with our diesel Grand Cherokee. The GC worked flawlessly during the 54K miles And 28 mpg during ownership. JTRD fits the bill for me and let’s me take advantage of better mpg and off road capabilities.

    This sounds like a pretty epic trip and I’m so tempted to make the trek out from the east coast to join you all.
  13. New steering solution? - Apex

    Thanks for the prompt response! Definitely will give this a try before trying the ram. -joe
  14. New steering solution? - Apex

    Do you have any additional feedback from an off road perspective? I recently took my recently modded JTRD for a shakedown trail run and it was quite the struggle to turn the wheel crossing a fairly simple obstacle with the weight of the diesel on aired down 37s. I could use the additional...
  15. Transitioned from 2019 JLUR to a new 2021 JTRD

    Clayton Offroad suspension exceeded expectations!
  16. Transitioned from 2019 JLUR to a new 2021 JTRD

    Adding to the list of desired modifications following today’s wheeling trip. Apex Steering Boost Kit or PSC. Turning the 37s with the heavy diesel proved a challenge. RCV Front axles and chromoly rear. Will add the diesel’s torque made everything just a little easier.
  17. Lets see all those Gladiators with lifts and bigger tires!

    Clayton 3.5” rolling on 37” Mickey Thompson Baja Boss wrapped around Black Rhino beadlocks.
  18. Transitioned from 2019 JLUR to a new 2021 JTRD

    Went in for service and was offered ridiculous money for the JLUR. I really didn’t want to, but it was a deal I couldn’t pass up. Found a nicely spec’d JTRD in Rockville MD and a week later here we are today. Dropped her off on the 20th of December for some minor surgery and picked her up...
  19. Lift kit shopping sucks, Falcon 3.3 Diesel?

    Concur regarding the price point, but received some good news that the shop found some Fox shocks that should fit the bill until I can find a better solution.
