My buddy has the JL diesel and likes it. I have the 3.6 in my JK and JT. I took the JK engine apart to change the head gaskets so I am sticking with the 3.6 because I am familiar with it and when it craps the bed it can try to rebuild it or just buy a crate mote for $3,000 or less.
BLUF: I got mine for $7,200 below MSRP and should have gone lower.
So I looked at Koons since I live around there... bunch of jokers and I have emails to prove it. I asked for a Jeep Gladiator Sport S with a soft top, 7" radio, cold weather package, Aux switches, and the power convenience...
He said there isn't much of a difference but I have 35s with steel wheels on my JK so about 145lbs on each corner and I can tell you that it was bad with 3.21 but with the gladiator ratio it should be a lot better BUT with 3.21 and the 35s I used a flashpaq and it was like a dream again. so...
Yea so I just looked and if you get the 25% off ones it would be less than $499 and after reading the fine print I do not see where badland or Apex winches are excluded.
Harbor freight is hit or miss, their Hercules saw IS AMAZING but other things suck. I heard their new winch is VERY GOOD. The reviews have been very good and those doing the reviews have been very impressed. Personally I have a smittybuilt X2O so I am not biased
While I believe this to be true and it kind of makes sense since the majority of people are not interested, I still think there are a ton of amateur enthusiast who should be able to fill the gap
I have a 14JK... I have a handheld HAM and a mounted CB radio and here is why. The CB radio is GREAT when on a major highway. I used to drive a lot for the reserves (8hrs) and to home (4hrs) when I was in college. The CB radio has saved my ass 100 times and payed for itself ten fold...
Since owning my 14JK I had to replace the alternator, starter, o2 sensors, and the catalytic converter. only the catalytic converter was covered and that's because I threatened them with the federal mandate. last week I found out my compression in cylinder 3 was 45-60PSI well below standard...
So on my jeep it is pressure sensed, so when I am at a light I know is about to change I will come to a stop but not depress it all the way so the engine stays on and can gun it out and then when I am going to be at a light for a while I will depress it completely and it will shut off.
