  1. 2023 JL Floor Mats, Drain Holes?

    Personally I like the Weather Tech mats. A quality product and a US company. My 2022 Rubicon 4 door had carpeted mats and I put in a set of Weather Tech premium mats as soon as I could get them. I just bought a black entry mat at Home Depot for the rear cargo area which was relatively...
  2. 2025 Rubicon X standard options

    That no doubt has been updated too. Look at the issue date of 09-11-2024. And the Jeep website is rarely current either.
  3. Changed my oil 2109 jeep wrangler sport 2.0l turbo

    Sad. I also have a 2022 Rubicon besides the 2021 Willys. I did the first oil change at 2500 miles. It got 5 quarts per the owners manual. Dealer through Jeep Wave did the next 3 at about 4000 mile intervals. Each time the repair order showed 5 quarts but it appeared to be slightly above the...
  4. Changed my oil 2109 jeep wrangler sport 2.0l turbo

    And your dealer probably puts 6 quarts back in it when it probably takes only 5. I hear so many stories of “it’s a 3.6L” so it takes 6 quarts. Not so. The newer 3.6L have a smaller oil pan and only take 5 quarts. I recently bought a used 2021 with a 3.6L at a Chrysler dealer. The owners manual...
  5. Oil filter brand

    I’ve pretty much always used OEM filters; Mopar, AC Delco, Honda or John Deere preferring to stay with what the manufacturer originally installed. Figured if it was good enough to be originally installed, it was good enough to continue using. Over the last 50 years I might have installed a...
  6. Dorman upgraded aluminum oil filter, housing

    I never oil the new O-ring and I always turn the cap until it stops; never anymore than that. I’ve never had any problems or leaks.
  7. Long-shot: Anyone willing to order half doors for me?

    Jeep ordering is indeed screwed up. There should be one Rubicon and you should be able to option it how you want in an ala carte fashion. I couldn’t replace my 2022 now because you can’t mix and match the options. You need to check the Rubicon ordering options; Rubicon and Rubicon X and I...
  8. Wrangler JL tailgate hinges, support weight

    I had the Teraflex adjustable hinge reinforcement on my 2012 Rubicon. It was a beast of an improvement to go from 255/70-17 tires to 315/70-17 tires. I ordered my 2022 Runicon with the XR package so it came with the Mopar reinforced tailgate. It may not be as stout as the Teraflex...
  9. 2 door or 4 door?

    I have both. I bought a new 2022 four door Rubicon soft top with an XR package. That’s my fun machine. My wife wasn’t happy with me getting rid of my 2012 two door Rubicon, but the Jeep is my toy. We shoot around town with it in the summer with the top down and do a lot of two tracks and...
  10. Differences Btwn OEM Steel Bumper and Knockoff?

    If you’re looking at a site like EBay it should identify the manufacturer. Is it Mopar? Does it have a Mopar part number? Where is it shipped from. If you’re looking at a site like Facebook Marketplace it’s probably the real McCoy that someone has taken off for some sort of super off-road...
  11. Rubicon vs X vs XR vs Final edition?

    They are packages. The Rubicon is the base model in the Rubicon family. It’s got a fair amount of standard equipment. There are certain options that “can” or “cannot” be had on the base Rubicon. I may be off base because Stellantis has changed packages and options so many times the past...
  12. 2025 Wrangler - Painting fender flares?

    If you run off-road much I’d consider leaving them unpainted. Rocks and stones coming off the front wheels do a lot of damage to the front side of the rear fender flares. I didn’t want painted fender flares on my 2022 Rubicon and with about 23,000 miles on the Jeep, they would look terrible.
  13. Wheeling in snow & ice = Abort!

    I usually lead our group. I have the most capable vehicle in our group. I’m not ashamed to turn the group around. My idea of fun isn’t wading in mud or water to hook up recovery gear. Call me a wimp if you like; just out to have fun with friends.
  14. Would you think your dealer service writer/manager could answer these questions?

    I believe the door opener is programmable so it can be operated with the ignition on or off. It’s done through the driver information settings in the infotainment system. The advantage of having to have the ignition on vs off is a matter of security. I have mine set to have the ignition on to...
  15. Does my Jeep dealer know what he is talking about? Lift Kits....

    XR originally stood for the Extreme Recon package. It was originally available on the 4 door Rubicon and expanded to the 4 door Willys. It became available part way through the 2021 model year through 2023 and included 1.5 inch lift, 35 inch tires, reinforced swing gate tire carrier...
  16. Michelin Tire Warranty Claim

    Where the heck are buying Michelin tires where your 50% cost is $250? I bought a pre owned 2021 Willys 2 door in October 2024 to use as a winter driver. Couldn’t stand the ride or sound of the 255/75-17 Mud Terrains so I replaced them with Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2. The price of the tire was...
  17. Paper towel stuck around the engine

    I keep my receipts for oil and filters. I staple them to a sheet of paper and write the date and mileage on it. The receipt generally shows enough detail about the product purchased such as Oil Filter and Mobil 1 0W20 and I just make some notes on the paper about the service performed. I also...
  18. Is 23mpg a pipe dream?

    Your first problem is you believed the MPG on the window sticker. Your second problem is you bought it anyway. A Jeep has the aerodynamics of a brick, then add in the big tires and 4.10 axle ratio and what did you think you would get? Go drive the Jeep. When you need gas stop and fill it up...
  19. 2023 JL XR axle fluid type

    There's a lot of subjectivity to oil types and weights. 75W90 and 75W140 are easily obtainable at local auto parts locations, especially 75W90. Either of those oils will work, including the 75W85 the owners manual calls for. I choose to use the recommended 75W85 in mine (Red Line GL5 full...
  20. Cb antenna -- type and placement?

    Height, exactly. The second picture shows that the antenna and garage door weather strip only clear by about an inch. There's 6-7 inches difference between my antenna base lug and the hole in the tailgate reinforcement. Plus where I put it the antenna base, coax and ground strap are all...
