2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

How do tires like those affect the ride? Surely it must? Sorry noob here, this is going to be my first.

I actually have another super noob question. Driving around topless seems grand, but what happens if you get caught in a rain storm? That happen to anybody. Is the insides water proof to that level?

One of the downsides to the pacific northwest i guess, rain can come at any time.

The clockspring which is behind the steering wheel and the dashboard is vulnerable if it gets soaked. Been there done the rain thing many times.Carry a gym towel in your Jeep and if it pours you can place it around that area. Other tips, check the forcast (weather is never accurate though!) and look for covered areas like an underpass , bank etc. Google a jeep bikini top which will stop the downpour for at the front portion of your jeep. Lastly you can always take out the carpet and just use mats. If the carpet got soaked take it out and leave in the sun all day to really dry it out. Pull the fllor drain plugs to let out the water. Good luck.

I'm fairly sure the stock form will get us well off the beaten path, and maybe a bit too far.

I’m throwing on a 285/70/17 MT Baja MTZs P3 for this summer on my stock rims. I won’t have time to bother with a lift so I can go to 35s right away so 33s will have to do for now

Yeah i heard late August/ early September. Maybe they will have real improvements to the bowing problem instead of just an $11 plastic spring pad. Also, what the hell was Mopar on about when they said all after market parts were going to be available right at launch? They said this when the JL debuted in November. September is nearly a whole year after than they claimed they'd be ready.

If all goes well it should be at the yard in Benicia in one day-then just a crapshoot of when it will be unloaded, then loaded on a truck.

i'm rootin for ya, but since i'm already rail unloaded, i'll root for mine to get loaded onto a truck before yours......

what's gonna be one of your first trips? muir woods and the headlands?

 

[jlopes68]

Loading up for a weekend camp trip and running some trails. Hopefully some pics to post Sunday. To all those still going thru the frustratingly long wait, i know how you feel, i went thru it too, but do know that when it does arrive you will be so happy all that is past will be soon forgotten and dreams of new jeep parts will soon fill your head.

I'm totally rooting for you to get loaded on a truck TODAY!

I'm going conservative on this Jeep and following break-in recommendations so will baby it for the first 300 miles (no freeways) so thinking of driving it down to Half Moon Bay (easy drive from the dealership.) After that, planning a road trip home to Washington State with my dog Ella sometime in July.

Where did you guys see the lift is shipping in August? I was told it's orderable the 14 of this month.
