  1. Diesel Fuel Shortage

    I guess it's good we have a 1000 gallon tank at the farm!
  2. Quadratec sent me a winch by mistake!

    Quite a while back my buddy ordered a Warn 9500 Ti winch from Northridge4x4 for $1599. This was years ago. He has it sent to his work. One day we are going to lunch and his office called and said there were 3 large boxes delivered. He'd ordered an ARB bumper for his WJ as well so didn't...
  3. What trim off roads the most!?

    I've noticed on our club trips that among JK's there seem to be a lot more sports than Rubicons but of the JL's most of them are Rubicons on our offroad trips.
  4. Be aware... Keyfob battery will bite you.

    I'm rounding up. I got my JL in Feb 2018 so it's ALMOST 5 years.
  5. Is the ugly antenna actually genius?

    Got rid of the antenna completely. I haven't listened to the radio in at least 15 years. Does anyone actually ever listen to AM FM radio????
  6. What are Upgrades worth?

    I don't know of any dealer or resaler who will give anything for mods/upgrades. When I traded my JK in on my JL, the dealer gave me the trade in price and flat out told me, your trade in value is based on the options on the vehicle from the factory not any modifications. They told me if I wanted...
  7. Be aware... Keyfob battery will bite you.

    Has anyone had to replace the battery? I've had my JL 5 years and 55K miles and so far neither of ours need replacing.
  8. JLU Rubicon MPG comparison across engines (2.0T, 3.6, 392, 4XE, 3.0D)

    2018 JLUR on 37's with factory 4.10's and I average about 15 around town and almost 20mpg on the highway (19.9mpg).
  9. Are the steering issues resolved in the 2023 models?

    Steering issues aren't universal. My 2018 steers perfectly with zero play in the wheel. I can go hands off for at least a 1/4 mile or more with no need to correct, even on 37's and beadlocks.
  10. Invest in a dash camera.

    As long as fault isn't questionable they are great or as long as you aren't at fault. My brother worked an accident a few days ago where one of the drivers explanation of what happened didn't line up with the facts too well. The other driver didn't have a dash cam but the driver claiming the...
  11. JLU Rubicon MPG comparison across engines (2.0T, 3.6, 392, 4XE, 3.0D)

    Around town about 15. On the highway, if I keep it at 65, I average 19.5-19.9. I'm on 37x12.5x17 Nitto Trail Grapplers on Mopar Beadlocks. Factory 4.10 gears, Mopar lift. Weighed down with Metalcloak undercloak steel skids. Mileage seems to increase the longer I have it. I have 52K miles on it...
  12. Is it Wrong……

    I don't think that is true in this case. If you compare a sport that costs $30k vs a Rubicon that is $65K then yeah, but if you are comparing an Altitude to a Rubicon that is only $450 higher? No, the Rubicon is going to hold the value better. When I bought my JLU in 2018, I traded my 2012...
  13. “You'll Almost Have to Buy an Electric Vehicle if Climate Bill Passes”

    I see lines at EV charge stations already. I hear co-workers whining their b*tchy little faces off because Whole Foods doesn't have enough chargers. Screw EV's I'll keep my IC vehicles and rebuild them if the quit before ever drive a pansy EV....
  14. JL with Mopar beadlock wheels and 2" lift

    Performix 11311 Flame Red Classic Muscle Car Rubber Coating
  15. XR observations

    Just no uptravel...lol
  16. XR observations

    Wow what does the XR have like 3" of front suspension travel? WTF?
  17. Dealer left oil cap off during an oil change and the Service Manager won't return calls.

    Frisco did the same thing on both my wife's GC and my JL. In the GC's case we drove halfway to Houston before I stopped somewhere and noticed the oil smell when I got out. In my case, I checked mine before leaving the parking lot and then called the SM over to look at it. Oil cap was still...
  18. The Truth About Scratches

    I scratch mine all the time. I then come home and buff the scratches out. The OP is wrong, unless you go down to primer, you can buff it out. I've had my Jeep so brush marked my friends thought i'd destroyed the paint. An hour or so with the buffer, back to new. Before: After:
  19. Women jeepers viewed as lesser?

    We've never ran into that. My wife drives a lot when we are out on the trails because I'm usually out with the camera. She's gotten shocked looks before, like when she crawled up the Wall on Poughkeepsie but I don't think she's gotten many negative looks.
  20. Early JL owners (18-19), a question please about your rigs reliability so far

    I got an extended warranty when I bought mine because it had a guaranty with it. If I didn't use it, when it expired I got refunded. At 51K miles I noticed the AC sounded odd, like it was plugged and on high I could feel it vibrating the dash. Took it in and and the said that leaves had gotten...
