Hi all. I’m planning to upgrade the Jeep in the next year now. Have been making some slow, low-level changes so far. My ultimate goal is 37” tires, with an option for 38’s. I currently have the Rubi XR, so slightly stronger D44’s (cast iron knuckles etc), and 4.56 I’ve been deeper in...

So this happened to me in the summer, but wanted to see if anyone has had anything similar? Was in Moab, lined up to show my wife and kids the Baby Lionsback. They’d never been off-road in this Jeep yet. Put her in 4LO and started up. About half way, we lost traction, then lost all...

The info in this video was very informational to me. As a guy who didn’t grow up obsessing over technical details with respect to vehicles; this guy lays it out in a simple, but not dumbed down way. Plus it helps explain the technical benefits and limitations of each platform so well. Next...

Got an email from RR4W (the jeep safari organizers) today. I’m assuming many of you did also. Please comment, help encourage the BLM to keep the trails open. Copy of email below: The draft EA for the Labyrinth Rims / Gemini Bridges travel plan in Moab has just been published, kicking off...

Son is in the market for his first Jeep, he’s saved up a long time and I want to help him get the best vehicle for his money. We’re narrowed down to 3 at the moment. 2 YJ’s and one TJ. Wondering what the general wisdom of the board is. Which would you buy? Of course option #4 is to buy...

Anyone seen videos from Peck Bros. off-road? I’ve caught a few of their videos on YouTube the past little while. The guys seem to know what they’re doing, but seem to have come into that knowledge by trial and error and guided by their father when young. They seem like good guys, and their...

Finally pulled the trigger on some door hangers and put them up in my garage last night. Doors are off the JLUR for the first time. Its been 18 yrs since I sold the CJ and last had a Jeep. Loved going topless and doorless in that thing. Have loved the soft top this summer, especially...

Hello all, was just sitting this afternoon and thinking about a situation we had this past weekend at the Jeep Safari. My son and I went down on Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday, the last day of the event, we were signed up to run "Fins n' Things", a Badge of Honor trail. It quickly became...

I can get an Apex 12,000lb winch locally for $599. It’s no Zeon, obviously. But I can buy 3 of these if they fail before I spend what the Zeon would cost. Anyone have any words of warning before I give it a go?

So I’m newly back into Jeeping. It’s been 20yrs since I owned a legit 4x4, which was a CJ7. I didn’t know much back then, didn’t know to air down etc, I just put it in 4L, pointed her where I wanted to go, and more often than not, I could make it. Fast forward 2 decades and I’m 40, have...

I took my time signing up, but got registered last night. I’ll be there the last 2 days. Who else is going?

Had a great experience to share with you about the Jeep owner community and someone I met today. I was browsing a local classified’s section today, looking at whether there were any decent rock sliders for sale. There’s a local outfitter that often sells scratch and dent items at a...

noticed that it seems to bend off to the left ever so slightly. Are other peoples brake levers more straight?

So I’m a recent returner to Jeep, this JL is my second one I’ve owned. I sold the first one about 16yrs ago, which was a huge mistake. I still miss that thing, and with a 14yo boy, I kinda wish I had it so I could restore it with him and pass it on. I’ll tell you about mine: My first Jeep...

Hi all, wondering if I can pick the brains of some of our mechanically inclined folks about an issue I’m seeing. New JLUR-XR, at about 700 miles (roughly a month in) I’m starting to hear a quiet rubbing noise which seems rotational, and only heard when going very slow, like rolling into the...

What’s the deal? I can’t seem to get a call out without using the touch screen. Previous vehicles allowed the wheel buttons to work with car play. am I doing something wrong?

This used lot up the street from my office seems to specialize in high-dollar used vehicles. They have an $86k completely restored 1970’s LR defender right now as an example. But does anyone think they’ll actually get that price? Technically used, but actually basically brand new 392XR, 46...

Picked up my Rubi XR this week, it’s incredible. But I noticed a few things I swear I ordered are missing. Namely: cargo tub liner, trail rail management system, and door sill guards. I know that some stuff is impossible to get right now due to COVID. Will Jeep just drop these things from...

Wondering what people’s experiences have been. I ordered 10/2, was gathering parts until this past week, wondering how much longer I might reasonably expect?
