SUMMARY Just drove 542 miles straight. Some hills some flats. Speeds were 35mph to 80mph. There was about 20 miles total of slow driving for in town driving with speeds averaging 35mph. Weather I was heading west, wind was NW to North at 15mph. Basically I had a tail wind 80% of the trip...

I moved my tire pressure on my Wilpeak AT-4's down to 30 psi cold. 32psi after warm up. Is anyone seeing any unusual wear at this pressure? I know Falken recomends 35PSI. Yeppers I adjusted the TPMS so I don't get an alarm. Grandpa Larry

Just installed a JSCAN on my Candian built and sold 2021 JL Rubi 4door. I live in the USA. Is there anything special I need to know about using it on my vehicle? Anyone have experience with this I can "bother" if I run into an issue? ;) Grandpa Larry

Installed bypass adapter and OBDLINK MX+ on my 2021 Jeep Rubicon 4 door. JSCAN paired up my phone selected the correct wrangler, and JSCAN connected. First step was I dropped my TPMS so I could run 30psi with no alarms. Then I thought I could turn on automatic high beam dimming. Well, I...

Okay my old engineering hat is on. I noticed that my Rubicon ride is worse now that Iowa wintry weather has arrived. Thinking it was my RS9000xl shocks. I have been experimenting with adjustments. I found that if I adjusted to zero dampening on the road it increased riding comfort. But why...

I am a tad older than most and have rebuilt and used/driven Ford, Chevy, International, Chrysler and MB auto transmissions over the past 55 years. I cannot say enough so far with the Jeep 8-Speed Automatic 850RE Transmission behind my 3.6L. It's smooth when down shifting. It maintains engine...

When on uneven highway areas and I hit the right speed (could be 65,70 or 75) my 2021 Rubi 4-Door wants to bounce. My settings are around 5. Now I could stop it by adding air to the rear Air Lift 1000 Air Spring I installed for towing...but I prefer to use the shock settings. My question is...

I had mentioned that my shocks at 15,000 miles were hard as a rock. I also posted I changed them to Rancho Rs9000xl and I added Air Lift 1000 Air Spring Kit Part No. 60829. (Red Bags) I like a firm ride Here are the settings I found for a very good ride NO Trailer Rancho...

New EPA Rule Mandates 55 MPG by Model Year 2026 https://environment.transportation.org/news/new-epa-rule-mandates-55-mpg-by-model-year-2026/ IMHO Jeep Wrangler may have to become more aerodynamic to meet this rule. Thus the exterior will change allot. No more flat windshield perhaps? Or...

You know folks there are many post about accessories. Yet I seldom see post about shovels or holders. Fact is for off roading I would not go without one. Get yourself a shovel holder folks. What say you?? Grandpa Larry

Cold weather on the way. Running my new Falken AT4's at 33 PSI and its a good ride. However, at 30F they are hitting 30PSI in the morning. Called the dealership for a TPS Lower Pressure Change...they said sure..BUT it will cost you $178.00! WOW This US Pricing is out of control! It would take...

Has anyone considered putting Air lift 1000 bags all the way around on a JL Rubicon to further smooth out the ride on pavement. Then airing them down when off road. Today I am considering installing them on the rear of my 2021 Rubicon for trailer towing and that thought came to mind. IMHO...

Okay, would somebody please explain what gain is there going to Falken AT4w's 315/70R/17's vs 285/70R/17's. The change in height is just 1.7 inches as stated on the Falken Website...however that is dependent on tire pressure as we all know. 1) Will ride quality improve allot, medium, little or...

Just posting this as my 2021 Rubicon factory RED shocks are hard as a rock at just 14,000 miles. More than likely a valve issues inside the shock. My neighbor stopped with his 392 Rubi and he has factory Fox Shocks we bounced his front and rear bumper. There was a depression and it came back...
