Me too!I have this issue too!!
Dude, that was like 700 frames, was caught and corrected as you know. Are Glad frames from the same supplier? Doubt the same mistake would be made 2x . Of course anything is possiblePause at 5:14. Looks like the questionable frame welding that plagued the JL is now seen on JT as well. There were pages and pages about this on the JL side, and a member there even had one of his brackets come off the frame.
I'd say create a separate thread for this. It definitely deserves it, given the JLs issue.It looks like a 10 year old boy laid those welds, so they're easy to see. But.........
You should see the welds on my JLU. They look like swiss cheese, especially on the rear frame.
Wow, that's unbelievable. After the JL issues, you'd think they would QC every single one. Better get their **** together. I would not pay 40+ grand for that!I'd say create a separate thread for this. It definitely deserves it, given the JLs issue.
When I was with Maserati they released a campaign where our techs had to check every car that came though because there were incomplete welds in the suspension. Luckily we never saw any but i know of dealers who did see some. It looked like they started the weld then i guess went for a pee break or coffee break and never came back hahaha.It looks like a 10 year old boy laid those welds, so they're easy to see.

The rear end of the JT is different than the JL.If you're referring to the documented welding issues, in which a JL owner had his track bar bracket shear off the frame without even taking if offroad, and in which Jeep has been replacing entire vehicles in some cases and having the frames re-welded in others, then I would suggest that your comment is the unfounded speculation. People have been discussing this for over a year, and there've even been official FCA TSBs issued on it.
The welds on that control arm bracket in the video above look exactly like the poor welds on the JLs. That's all I'm saying.
Not likely to have similar frame issues as the JT. different frame manufacturer.Pause at 5:14. Looks like the questionable frame welding that plagued the JL is now seen on JT as well.

Key fob blows, big and key comes out of fob frequently which makes it bigger. Windshield crack, at about 600 miles, 900 now and everything else has been fine. Waiting on new windshieldJust shy of 500 miles and good, no complaints other then the ridiculously oversize key fob.
Not seeing it, nothing wrong with those welds IMO. As for a bracket coming off the frame then that would certainly be a warranty issue and a probably recall notice. That said, throw a set of BFG KM2 37's and a set of Walker Evans Beadlocks and you are spinning about 137 lb per wheel, multiply that at about 70 mph and you got some serious weight being spun around. Or take into the rocks and jam that tire and force it to turn. Gonna bet that the member abused his Jeep to get that to happenPause at 5:14.
