  1. Real Simple: Anybody heard of FCA’s Fix for the clutch?

    Is that some sort of Dentistry reference that also edges into automotive friction plate topics?
  2. How LIGHT is Your 2-Door JL?

    You even have lightweight seat covers!
  3. How LIGHT is Your 2-Door JL?

    Thank you @flyer92 posting this. I was contemplating just the other day how I can make my rig lighter (saying this after I added aftermarket steel bumpers, 35in MTs and a winch). Obvious opportunities though to lighten are: *Remove Hard top in favor of soft top *Remove Back Seat *Remove Doors...
  4. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    I would imagine that after all of this, many dealers are going to be very much willing to offer stellar deals on their overripe inventory of manual Wranglers and Gladiators. Once the stop-sale ends, may be the time to buy a new 2022 or 2023 at rock bottom price. Savings may even be so much that...
  5. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    For anyone thinking about getting a new clutch, consider the following. As of writing this, ACT's clutch runs about $500 less than any of the Centerforce clutches. Centerforce clutches offer a significantly heavier flywheel than ACT and also have all new hydraulics which explains at least part...
  6. 7% Below Invoice on 2024 Jeep Wrangler Orders (including 392 and 4xe!)

    @[email protected] I recognize that this is a Jeep forum but curious if you also offer below invoice pricing for Ram factory orders. Do you?
  7. AEV Borah wheels on JL

    That looks really awesome! Unfortunate that it now makes my decision harder. ;) Thank you. If you do the Onyx Borahs with black rings then nobody is going to mind if you share pictures of those down the road. Wheels can look very different on vehicles depending on the color of the car so seeing...
  8. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    LUK is the manufacturer of the current JL clutch, as I understand it. The recall notice indicated that it was a design specification problem, not a manufacturing problem. I interpreted that as Jeep saying "their own d#$% fault" rather than fault of the clutch or their clutch manufacturer. I...
  9. AEV Borah wheels on JL

    This looks great! Can you share a side picture of your Jeep now that you have the Onyx rings installed? I myself am debating whether to get Black Borahs with Onyx rings or Onyx Borahs with Black rings (would have to get powder coated on my own). Tough choice.
  10. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    These people in this Chrysler photo are running from their vehicle. The clutch has exploded and flames were licking their boots. Yes, this is a minivan. Surely it has (had) to be manual.
  11. Slight whine noise on deceleration... ugh

    Did you do the work yourself or did you have a shop do it? Just curious.
  12. FAD gone on 2023 Rubicon?

    Tell me if I am wrong but the main issue people have with the FAD is that the casting in the axle housing to accomodate the FAD weakens the axle housing itself. If appears that the full time 4WD axle still has the same axle housing, therefore has same fatal flaw, but simply puts a plate over the...
  13. Going to MOAB. Need some guidance

    Some say that this website is helpful. https://www.rr4w.com/
  14. What are you surprised Jeep DIDN'T include on the 2024?

    Perhaps @word302 is also not surprised there is no Hurricane rotary engine in 2024s?
  15. What are you surprised Jeep DIDN'T include on the 2024?

    So you are saying it is not surprising there is no Hurricane V6? :)
  16. JL 6-Speed Deliveries

    Unfortunately the "over engineer" notion you are referring to isn't the old fashioned version where manufacturers would, from time to time, design excessive strength, durability or longevity into their products to go above and beyond intended purpose. The version you speak of is definitely the...
  17. Manual 2dr 4.88 question

    No doubt that the lift and the 37s increase instability on windy roads at speed. Big brick turned into giant brick.
  18. Will a spare 37 fit under the bestop trektop nx?

    I have come to the same conclusion after much searching. While Bestop offers fastback softtop options for both 4 door and 2 doors, if you want a squareback you can only get one for a 4 door. That means Mopar OEM softtops are the only option for those who want a squareback for a 2 door (again...
  19. Manual 2dr 4.88 question

    If only there were a gear ratio that improved handling in windy conditions at highway speeds. You sure as can bet Jeep is designing a software update for this on the 4 door. :) Awesome pic btw.
