let me know how it all ends up. I bought my raptor last march because I got tired of waiting for the v8 wrangler or the diesel to show up....next jeep will be my seventh wrangler/cj and I would rather buy local.
i remember back when everyone said all these same statements about running anything bigger than a 33 on a dana axle. interesting how times never change.
I was warned repeatedly that running anything over a 33 without 1 ton axles would just lead to failure back in my CJ and TJ days. I have...
seems to be very costly to add 1.5 inches of ground clearance.
I live in colorado and frequent our great trails pretty much monthly; during the really cold months we hit up moab and grand junction.
I may back off and go with 38's and a little extra skid plating.
thanks for the input. My main...
will be ordering a JLUR diesel very soon and planning out the build.
I have had 6 wranglers and cj's in the past so I know alot about lifts, tires, etc.
I am looking into running 40's on the new jeep and I have been researching, with little to no avail, what it will take to run them.
who is...
i have been waiting for years now on this diesel rubicon...i am about fed up and the raptor with end of year pricing is looking really good; plus I can actually have it in the next few weeks.
diesel is cheaper than 87 here in Cheyenne and northern colorado maverick's as of last week when i last looked. I need forced induction to have any ability to keep up with traffic on the interstates up here at altitude. I live at 4900ft and work at 6100ft and recreate between 7000 and 14000...
like i said "if true". then a 25 percent efficiency reduction for aero and rotational mass is realistic considering the weight difference. simple physics. to bad we do not know gear ratios and if the ram numbers were true.
At the 2019 Ram 1500 announcement it was stated that the new drag...
about freakin time. I have been without a jeep for over two years now waiting on this thing.
I do have a heavily modded xterra pro4-x for overlanding but I miss my jeeps(ive had 6). Now to wait out the first few months of production and the typical jeep failures at quality control before ordering.

I sold my 2008 JKUR for a 2012 sport 2 door bare bones jeep for exactly the same reason. Combat trauma takes a major toll on the body. I have set mine up for day trips and typically will camp one night and get a hotel the next night due to back pain. I have been saving up and waiting on the...
That is pretty much what I was expecting. Adding the larger rotational mass has caused boost to be utilized constantly at highway speeds and thus a major decrease in mpg.
