I have a 2023 JTR and Iāve pulled my 25ā camper loaded around 5500lbs several times now. I have the 3.6 gas engine and when pulling at 65-68 mph I regularly see oil temps around 240F. With a pretty strong head wind coming back on one trip I was running 245-250F for a good stretch but I was also...
I just installed a brand new premium top on mine after running the hard top all winter and Iām noticing the same loud wind noise up front from the new soft top. Iām thinking a lot of the noise is bc itās tight from being new. Even just shutting the door makes a loud reverb or echo inside. Iām...
Thatās interesting and Iām glad you posted that bc thatās similar to how I calculated mine. I figured minimal drag was happening at any height below the tailgate so I deducted the rough tailgate height from the overall camper height and got around 50 sq ft for my effective frontal area. If I...
The Equilizer really is magical! I even added the friction pads to reduce noise knowing it reduces some of the sway control and I still had zero sway on the highway with some gusty winds and semiās passing. It is a great hitch.
I just pulled my setup for the first time and am very happy with how it pulled. like others have said, a good WDH and proper setup are key. My trailer tongue weight is 510lbs with an unloaded weight on 4500lbs. Iām estimating being closer to 600lbs tongue and 5500lbs loaded. Manually shifting...
I added some bedside stripes to my Gladiator and replaced my fender decals with all black and red ones to match the hood and tailgate now. Looks much better!
Pulled a 1500lb 5x8 dump trailer for work today. Truck handled it well, could barely feel it even with about 800lbs of scrap steel loaded in it. went into 8th on the highway at 68mph and was getting around 14mpg pulling it. Very impressed overall!
Got my DV8 step sliders on today and they look better than I thought they would! Besides all the bolts on them they look very similar to the stock sliders but with just enough hanging out for a step/ gaurd to prevent door ding and such very happy with them!
I actually made the oppposite switch last month and traded in a 2022 F-250 crew cab long bed with the 7.3 Godzilla engine and 4.30 gears for my 2023 JTR. We use to pull a 40ā 5th wheel toy hauler with it but after my wife got her Bronco of 1.5 years waiting we enjoyed it so much this summer that...
My instant mpg didnāt display when new then at about 485 miles after a startup it just appeared and has not gone away since. at first I thought it was something that didnāt show up until after a ābreak inā period bc my avg mpg instantly starting improving after the instant mpg appeared. Under...
Finally was able to replace my carpet with the Armorlite flooring last night. It was a pain in the ass like everyone says but turned out great and way better than the factory carpet. I really wish Jeep would make this an option like it is in the Bronco.
It is a kit I bought from federal flags. I believe mine is a 15'. I bent 2 poles from wind before I strengthened the base with a PVC pipe inside it and its been good for almost 2 years now
