Big difference along with added gears - gear ratio - transmission

Ive driven the 2013,14,15,16,17 and by far the JL has improved in so many ways !
Pretty cool. I never bothered testing the new JKs with the JL out.

when ever I had people down I rented or when ever my truck went into the shop I rented
50.00 a day and I drove m hard !

So I was expecting a similar vibe like or feel when driving the JL ....all I kept saying was Holy shit ! :giggle:

seemed like everything I remembered about the JK was different when at the Con of the JL ...comfort - response - noise reduction

3.8 had a lot of issues I hear
The early 3.6 did too. Casting sand or some shit. I know 2 people personally who got new 3.6s on warranty.

Though I've heard the 3.0 had a few blow up as well. Just not as many (by %).

I understand. I am just very hesitant to bash the best engine in the best vehicle Ive ever had ;)

2018 Wrangler JL Sport S (Eve)
So while I wade through the back log of pages, I thought I would share:

Eve went and got herself a growth spurt

Those side steps are especially handy now, and I’m 6’2”

End result: Eve is now 2” taller than a Rubicon. Previously 1.5” shorter. My new (non engineer) assessment being that thereason it’s a 2” Mopar lift kit is that it adds 2” to Rubicons. Which means 3.5” to sport models.
