Jeeps are bad cars. I don't know why that would come as a surprise to anyone. They use antiquated solid axle suspensions which brings with it steering challenges. All the pieces can come off which is great opportunity for noise and leaks to find their way in. Its upright windshield provides no...
Thanks for the extra details! Looks very interesting. I'm torn on this type of thing because on one hand I can see why RC would be pissed their design was stolen. On the other hand, it's $600 cheaper.
One comment on your install, I would guess that you should be able to take those hose clamps...
okay, I'm wanting more information. Is it really *identical* to the RC? I see a nub sticking out near the door that I haven't seen on the RC kits. How does the material feel? Does the tube in the engine bay collapse just like the RC seems to do?
Like so many others I'd start by saying that if it had a solid front axle I would be more tempted. I honestly don't pay any attention to Bronco forums so I don't actually know how that front end is holding up but in my mind solid axles are more durable than IFS so for the trips and trails I do a...
Nice info. The other day I had a question on here about this and its impact due to a dead main battery just before a long drive. Well now that I'm where I need to be I decided to hook the smaller battery back up and reinstall the fuse then go for a drive. What I noticed was that the voltmeter...
So I'm driving down the interstate, bored out my mind and I look at the ESS screen on my dash. Of course it says "ESS Off" because I have the button pushed. I hit the button and it says "ESS Ready". I hadn't seen that message in years. I pull off for gas and yep sure enough ESS works. And it...
Definitely the aux. I had the little battery die on me in ~April 2020 and I replaced it myself rather than mess with the dealer. While replacing this big one I got to thinking I didn’t also want to do the small one because I found it to be a bit of a pain, so I pulled the fuse instead.
Thank...
The main battery in my 2019 3.6L finally died. While replacing it I figured I would do the by pass of the smaller battery at the same time. I don’t really have a problem with ESS but mine hasn’t worked for years now, my voltage meter on the dash always showed around 14.4 volts and the ESS screen...
Not too long after buying my 2019 3.6L I was slow rolling through the Rocky Mountain Arsenal wildlife refuge hoping to grab a photo of a bison against the background of the city. It was a hot day but I'm idling through there with the top, doors, and windshield off. After striking out I go to...
meh.... I used to have a Jeep Commander. At one point Jeep issued a recall (N23) that broke my ability to use 4 low, it impacted a lot of owners and there wasn't a good fix for it. N23 was issued because someone once used remote start and the Jeep put its transfer case into neutral automatically...
For everyone saying they want a 2 door Jeep truck, here is one that I saw for sale. I don't know anything about it other than whats in the ad, but maybe it's right for someone.

As for the original question of trading my 2 door for a...
I liked the Renegade. For me the size was nice when running around the city and I happened to have one as a loaner from the dealer when Denver had a significant amount of snowfall. I found the AWD system (and factory tires) was great running around on the road where many other vehicles were...
I bought a rough country table off of amazon for cheap (as far as these tables go, $80 I believe it was). It fits under the slipstream just fine, no modifications or adjustments needed. I'll also say that I do not notice any noises from the RC table either, pretty happy with that purchase...
On my previous TJs after a lift they both lost their rear swaybar because I'm cheap, lazy, and I felt they were not necessary. Afterwards I did not notice an improvement offroad, or it being any worse either. On road there might have been a slight difference but not one I was concerned about...
My process:
disconnect swaybar pretty much as soon as I leave a gravel road, even on some gravel roads I'll push the button if I'm traveling slow enough (under 30 mph). My last TJ I eventually just threw both the front and rear swaybars in the garbage that's how much I prefer to be disconnected...
I believe that the 2 door has a 17.5 gallon tank (if memory serves, I would have pulled this from the manual which likely is lying a bit). I don't normally wait for the light to come on, but I know it has, so I'm probably not pushing it here. I also don't do a good job of tracking every fill up...
Have you checked the windshield bolts? I have found that my freedom panels seem to make more noise if I didn't get all of the bolts tight when I put the windshield back in place. I just use the provided wrench and get them tight with that (just as tight as I get it without bearing down on it...
