  1. Wax for Rubicon, Islander, Moab, hood with factory decals

    For years I've been seeing labels on car waxes that say don't use on/over decals. The factory decals on JL Rubicons, Islanders, Moabs, etc. are not clear coated, so the vinyl (or whatever they are made of) is exposed to the elements. What do you folks, who have these decals, use when you are...
  2. Where do the little things go???

    Had, what for me, is a catastrophe with our 2019 Wrangler 2-door. I had a SDXC Memory Card with extremely important pictures on it, drop down between the drivers seat and the console (8-Speed Auto). And I can't, for the life of me, find it. I've slid the seat all the way forward, taken out the...
  3. Jeep vs Bronco: So that Bronco Rack & Pinion Steering Ford is so happy about seems to have some issues

    I've seen a couple of Bronco reviews that mocked the Jeep Wrangler's steering set up, emphasizing how much better the Bronco's rack & pinion set up performs. Looks like "not so much" on the tougher trails. Wrangler vs Bronco, rock crawling Best, -Tim
  4. No new inventory going on a month now

    Anyone else seeing this at their local dealer? Ours hasn't had any new Wrangler inventory for almost a month now. Drove past the Belvidere Assembly Plant(Cherokee) here in Illinois a couple times this week and the employee parking lot was empty both times. Has the chip shortage shut down Jeep...
  5. Jeep Wrangler 4XE Annihilates Bronco 2.7L in Drag Race

    A little more talking and hype than I'd like to see, but the end results speak for themselves: Best, -Tim
  6. Mental Health Machine

    After a really tough week, and a disastrous Saturday, I got out for a bit in the Wrangler this afternoon, just putt-putting around town with the windows down and a good breeze. Running errands to the grocery store, swung by the local Jeep dealership (lot mostly empty) and grabbed a Coke on the...
  7. Applying Mopar Decals to the JL hood

    Does anyone have experience applying the hood decals that Mopar makes to their JL? Wanted an Islander back in 2019 but was not an option. Got a pair of 2021 Islander hood decals that I'd like to put on our JL 2-door, just wondering if there is a process I should follow to make them last as long...
  8. Putting Rubicon shocks on a Sport S

    If I put a set of Rubicon shocks on my Sport S (2-Door), and have sway bar disconnects, am I going to get more flex than with the disconnects and my stock Sport S shocks? And will this change anything else about the ride/steering? Or is the big difference between stock Rubi shocks and stock...
  9. Are Sway Bar Disconnects a waste of time on a Stock Sport S suspension

    I'll be taking our stock Sport S 2-door on a trip in a couple months, some of it over gravel roads in a hilly part of the southwest, and some of those roads have about a foot to a foot and a half deep washouts. My first thought was get some quick disconnects for the front sway bar. The more I...
  10. Questions on Build Sheet Listing, Springs

    Just going back over my build sheet from 2019 on my 2-Door Sport S, and noticed in optional equipment it lists, Spring-Left Front, Spring-Right Front, Spring-Left Rear, Spring-Right Rear. Does a stock JL come without springs? Or is this some kind of spring upgrade from stock? Best, -Tim
  11. Watching the Bronco YouTube's from Moab

    I've watched a half a dozen YouTube videos from the Easter Jeep event in Moab last week. Seems that Ford brought a bunch of Bronco Badlands Sasquatch vehicles to demo. From what I could gather from the videos, the Bronco is an electronic wonder, able to do pretty much any kind of offroading from...
  12. Jeep Wrangler-Service Information SUSB ???

    Has anyone here purchased this: Jeep Wrangler-Service Information SUSB I'd like to have a service manual for my JL, but I'm real confused with what it is you are buying here for $129. Is this a USB stick with the current version of the service manual on it? If so, that's what I am looking for...
  13. Forty Years Ago Next Week

    Came across a few pics of my first offroad vehicle. One of the original Toyota 4x4 pickups. In 1980 Toyota wanted to get into the small truck 4x4 market that was booming at the time, so instead of starting from scratch, they just took their Land Cruiser, removed the body, scaled the frame and...
  14. Airing Up/Down stock tires

    In sandy or soft mud conditions, does it make much difference airing down the stock Sport S tires on my 2-Door JL? They're Goodyear Wrangler AT Adventure Kevlar tires in 245/75R17 size. I've heard that if the sidewalls are too stiff, airing down makes no difference. Not sure if the sidewalls on...
  15. Is the Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle the same as the Trac-Lok Limited Slip Differential

    Looking to change the differential fluid in my 2019 JL with a Dana M220 rear axle. The build sheet and the window sticker list "Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle" but most other places where I see info listed about the M220 rear axles lists it as "Trac-Lock Limited Slip Differential". Are those...
  16. How does this front hub 4x4 thing work?

    Was into "4-wheeling" back in the 1970's and early 1980's. We had Jeeps, Toyota 4x4's and Ford F-150 4x4's and they were all pretty similar. Full frame, manual transmissions, manual transfer cases, solid front & rear axles, manually locking front hubs. I understand most of how the JL works...
  17. Recommended tow strap for pulling out stuck neighbors

    In the early 1980's I had a Toyota 4x4 Truck and used to pull out friends and neighbors when they got stuck in the snow and ice. Now that we have the JL, I'd be willing to do that again for the neighbors when the snow gets deep. But I no longer have the nylon tow strap from back in the day...
  18. Suspected Scam call about Jeep Survey

    Has anyone else on this forum got a call/voice message about doing a focus group/survey on the Jeep Wrangler from someone saying their name is Wendy and calling from the cell phone number (714)499-3598 recently? Just got the message, and she says she's offering $175 for my trouble to help out...
  19. Steel Rear Bumper

    I've got a 2019 2-Door Sport S JL and the rear bumper appears to be some metal wrapped in dark grey vinylized rubber. One of the license plate screws is stripped out, and when I open the tailgate, the center section of the bumper, under the spare tire, is already bent/warped out from the back of...
  20. Local Wrangler Inventory: 0

    I live in Illinois just north of Chicago, and I drive thru my local dealer's lot about once a month, just to see what Jeeps they've got in stock, usually about 15 to 20 Wranglers. Back in March, they had over 30 Wranglers on the lot and I remember thinking, "Wow, with this shutdown nobody is...
