  1. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    Opinions vary on that last point. The way many of us read the recall, we expect a somewhat redesigned clutch. Probably still a dual mass design though.
  2. TSB: Higher Gear Ratios (Above 4.5:1) on 2021-22 Wrangler 4xe

    About time. Inability to regear was really what forced my decision to order a V6 rather than a 4xe for 2022.
  3. Thinking Of Selling 22” Rubicon XR

    Unless why you're *really* posting here is the hope that we'll talk you out of it. 😜 You should keep it. Nothing else you're gonna get is nearly as fun. :jk:
  4. Thinking Of Selling 22” Rubicon XR

    Edmunds and KBB are going to be way more accurate in giving you an expected price *in your area* than the wild-ass-guesses that folks on this forum across North America are going to be able to generate. EDIT: Nothing personal, Scott.B. 😜
  5. Start stop not working message plus Gear indicator out at the same time

    Yep. Additionally, after all those steps, do the battery disconnect. I followed the set instructions three or four times, convinced I must be missing something or doing something wrong. Asked here, and someone else clued me in.
  6. Start stop not working message plus Gear indicator out at the same time

    I know the answer. I had the exact same problem. (PS, this happens 15 seconds or so after you shift into 5th or 6th. Doesn't matter how long you drive it, as long as you don't go into those top two gears.) First, you have to carefully go through all the steps in the Tazer 6 speed...
  7. Cloth seats and handheld vacuum recommendations?

    I dunno. I think the only way you're gonna win this one is to keep a powerful shop vac ready to deploy. "Jeep gets dirty" and "handheld vac" sounds a lot to me like "basement flooding" and "soda straw" 😜
  8. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    Not unless you force them to. There are pages and pages of stuff in your warranty book. And the requirements for "lemon law" buybacks vary considerably from state to state. There are specific requirements around number of days in the shop number of visits for a problem to be "unfixable"...
  9. Can we talk about the 2024 Willys bright dash?

    I wouldn't worry too much about it until you see it in person and live with it for a while. There's a temptation when waiting for an order to overthink it and look at photos and fill the time planning and spending money on mods for a Jeep that isn't here yet. For example, I was convinced I was...
  10. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    Cool! Can I ask for the source on the info that they're resumed production?
  11. Good deal? Bad Deal? Am I being starry eyed? Potentially buying a new 22 4xe still on a dealer's lot

    This is the perfect use case for a 4xe, assuming you already have a level 2 charger at home. You could get a '23, but realistically '22s are not that old yet; I took delivery of mine just the last day of August last year, the day after it hit the lot from the factory - basically eight months...
  12. Question for switching 2H to 4H with FAD

    The transfer case lever is mechanical, so moving it engages the transfer case into 4h. The FAD is electrical, and is triggered once the lever is thrown. Lights on the dash flash if the electronic FAD sleeve is unable to engage for some reason. So yes, from personal experience, it engages...
  13. Camp stove

    Well, since we're bringing this thread back, I'm also a big fan of the Camp Chef Everest. 1. The burners are 20,000BTU *EACH* as opposed to the Coleman 10,000 BTU each (20,000 BTU *TOTAL*) As others mentioned, when its cold, or windy, or high elevation, or you're just cooking a bit bigger pot...
  14. Rear Main Leak?

    I was recently having a conversation with my mechanic in this vein. IIRC, what he said is that the oil filter housing is fairly common to develop a leak. And when it does, it runs downhill until it where it drops out, it gives every appearance of being a rear main seal leak. So, the fact that...
  15. Help, my first Ham Radio installation advice/question?

    Lots of input already, but.... you know if you connect direct to battery, you'll *already* be able to use the radio whether or not the vehicle is on, right? Conversely, you'll need to make sure to turn it off when leaving the vehicle, in order to avoid draining the battery.
  16. Burned up 3.6 in 2018 JLU. Located donor rubicon 392 with trans and transfer case. Anyone documented this install before?

    I don't want to rain on your parade. It's just gonna be a huge amount of work and a deep rabbit hole of unexpected unintended consequences. But when you're done, you'll have a project jeep to be proud of.
  17. FAD gone on 2023 Rubicon?

    Ah, it's time for another episode of "fly on the wall at Jeep HQ." VP: "Folks, we've got a problem. All the supply chain increases are biting our butts, and the Fed interest rate increases mean that we can't just keep raising prices like we were last year." I need lower prices to get unit...
  18. Burned up 3.6 in 2018 JLU. Located donor rubicon 392 with trans and transfer case. Anyone documented this install before?

    Do you have the complete donor vehicle? You'll probably end up swapping quite a few parts that aren't part of the engine per-se. Motor mounts, air intake, ECU obviously, but probably weird stuff like the battery mount, washer fluid bottle, and other under-hood goodies - "minor" junk that'll...
  19. Apparently gears prefer oil (updated title)

    When I was younger, I was more inclined to take folks at their word and what they said at face value. But over time I've learned that folks are really good individually and collectively at the CYA (Cover Your Donkey) game. So, with nothing to go on except my own idle speculation, and having...
