Hi all just a quick opinion question ?? as we all can agree the Jeep faithfull would have had a big problem had Jeep gone to “IFS”??? can we make the argument that compared to the manual locking hubs of yester year were superior to this “ FAD” compromise?? Would the Jeep faithfull have rejoiced...

I’m sure many members on this forum can agree Chrysler wasn’t know for quality in the past …… anyone care to speculate if it had been ”FORD” or “GM” that had successfully purchased “AMC” would things turned out better or worse.

Follow up to the budget build test drove a willy's 2 weeks ago dealer had 2 gladiators on the lot 1 Willys 1 Rubicon both Fully Loaded "54-K" on the Willys too $$$$ and poor payload capacity. Salesman stated the dealerships only want to bring in fully loaded High $$$ jeeps for the limited...

Advertisement shows MAX PAYLOAD "1700" pounds that must be a Sport with Manual Transmission and Soft top and No other options. For me I don't expect to tow anything...I would rather get the Hard top.... I suppose that subtracts "100" pounds on Max payload. 🤔🤔 However age 60 is not to far away...

High Quality Manual Hubs say good bye to the "FAD" Inline 6 cylinder Max Payload/Towing with manual Transmission CRANK DOWN WINDOWS HIGH QUALITY LIMITED SLIPS FRONT AND REAR AS "STANDARD-EQUIPMENT" Optional Lockers.... The "OPEN" Differential Must not exist in any "4x4" vehicle

👍👍 To Lockers but that's only on the Rubicon, and Power Wagon and Ford Raptor from the Factory. My point was "OPEN" differentials are useless no way should they be "STANDARD" equipment on a 4x4 vehicle. 🤔 I do remember in the "1990's" the full size Ford Broncos and F-150's with the twin traction...

Let me elaborate Solid front axle heavy duty would the Jeep "FAITH-FULL" accept "I.F.S." On a Wrangler or Gladiator The 4 wheel drive Transfer case "FLOOR" Lever operated Would the truly hard core Jeep "FAITH-FULL" condone a dash mounted switch to engage 4 wheel drive. isn't at the very least...

Lazy Americans 🤔🤔 A dash mounted switch to engage 4 Wheel drive that's "LAZY" !! Ford,General Motors, Ram, Toyota, Nissan. 4 wheel drive should be a floor Lever !!! Only Ram "POWER-WAGON" Jeep Gladiator and Wrangler retained the floor Lever

Death Wobble: YouTube: Sauls Auto Tech death wobble he does a very good job explaining the components, in the suspension that can cause it. Separate video he has implies when solid front axle suspensions had leaf springs it wasn't as common

Back in "1986" a co-worker bought a CJ-7 it had manual hubs, he stated the owners manual recommended a brake in period to drive in 2 wheel drive with hubs locked and if you anticipated possibly having to shift into 4 wheel drive you could drive in 2wd with hubs locked

The "HI-LUX" can't be sold in the United States due to the "CHICKEN-TAX" Thanks to The "L.B.J." Administration go on you tube type in the Chicken tax and Light Trucks I believe Canada won't allow Hi-Lux or any foreign made Trucks the Tarriffs would be "25%" That's why Toyota and Nissan built...

I saw a video on You tube with "way of Life" high lighting a replacement axle with "MANUAL" Hubs I believe it was A Dyna Track. It got me thinking I believe Jeep should have brought back the manual Hubs for the reliability factor instead of the Electric central axle disconnect. If your driving...
