I totally get the dislike for AFM (I have it disabled in my Camaro), but I love the VVT. It pulls so much smoother than the LS3 I had, which was more of a light switch at 4,000 RPM whereas my L99 just grunts from 2,500 on up.
I'm going to assume we haven't seen a bridge module for the JL/JT like they have for the JK because either the CAN systems have gotten too complex compared to what was in the JK, or more simply the demand isn't there because JL/JT's are far more compatible with late model Hemi's, especially due...

I definitely know about the hoist but I’m also wondering if I need the carrier assembly. Would be awesome if someone had some pictures I could reference. I’m pretty sure it’s number 33 in this diagram.
I was wondering if anyone here has good photos of the OEM spare tire carrier and hoist under the bed. I bought JT used and the previous owner gutted everything under the bed and used a JCR off-road swing arm. I am wanting to put my tire back under the bed but I’m not 100% sure what all is...
I had to do the water pump at 118k now the anti freeze will leave a tell tale sign of dried pinkish fluid as it is flung onto the engine from the weep hole. The bearings for the impeller go out usually not in a huge way but they get slack.. after removal you could just wiggle it a mighty small...
It is definitely more tool than toy. The Honda and Kawasaki UTV's are no match on durability. The Mahindra has that old style Jeep feel( mechanically) yet modern electronics for the diesel engine.
It's not uncommon for these to have a leak at the bottom where the hose connects to the reservoir. Ask Kevin in Canada and 2 or 3 others about that area.
...needs to be covered anytime there’s a chance of rain.
The freedom panels come off more often …and I can do that myself on a whim.
We have a hoist setup in the ceiling of the garage for the top, but that’s not something I’d do myself (it’s tight and you don’t want things to swing). The...
Well , Bob the salesman told me well it's been here 5 days . We just got it in. When we test drove it had 41 miles on it . So I think either the salesman or someone else took a test drive in it.
Just says 9-20 drove By in 3rd week of December on the 17th to do some Christmas shopping in a Mountain town about an hour from the house and it was sitting on the lot . Wife wanted to look at it . There were 5 of them . 4 sports and 1 Rubicon. I told wife if we get one its this one.
The tools for the phasers and tensioner - you can get by with whatever kit is on AMZN (they don't have the correct ones for the VVL engine that isn't $100+), but you will need the correct tensioner "T" (or "J") tool. I got an aluminum one. The phaser blocks you can shave down for clearance to...
I'm pretty sure @Stan H is at 140K+ and his cams are fine. I agree though - it really shouldn't need be an issue at all.
Only real Jeep's have a four cylinder. That's how they came in the 40's (I'm being facetious).
Then straight sixes.
Then little V8's.
Then V6's.
Then turbo diesels.
Then...
The High lift has to be there . There is no way to advance timing and get anything out of it unless they have a high lift. This engine isn't like an old V8
