  1. FAD (Front Axle Disconnect) leaking?

    Thanks for the reply Gabriel. I'm just barely beyond the 5yr Jeep warranty, but the dealer I purchased from had a lifetime powertrain warranty. I'm going to let it slide, keep an eye on it, and bring it back to the dealer if it gets to a point that I need to do something.
  2. FAD (Front Axle Disconnect) leaking?

    I noticed a few oil spots under the 2018 JL 3.6L today. When I crawled under I noticed the FAD and associated skid plate as well as the upper control arm and a few other areas covered in oil. It appears that this is coming from above. I see a couple potential leaks above the FAD (boxed in red n...

  4. Simple question leads to mini garage remodel - Racor hoist and Topsy bracket done!

    I engineered it myself. I used aluminum plate for the connection brackets simply for ease of install. I've attached my layout drawing with part numbers for the pulleys from McMaster-Carr if you're interested.

    Here's a complete Line-X https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/full-external-line-x.60314/ And you would have to isolate the hinges from the body to avoid corrosion as mentioned by DaltonGang
  6. STING GRAY Wrangler JL Club

    I went with the Dove Gray. I like the lighter color, I'm assuming it keeps it cooler than a dark color when sitting in the sun. It's noticeably cooler when hopping in to head home from work after it's been sitting in the sun all day.
  7. Kikbax foot pad

    Thank you for the positive feedback. More surface area is nice, it gives you more options where to put your foot. It's also way more comfortable if you're barefoot.
  8. Kikbax foot pad

    Yes, the size I made worked perfectly. The first three pictures are from my first go round with a generic Jeep grille and paint that didn't quite match the Sting Gray. The last picture is the updated final foot pads painted black with a JL grille. And the Kickbax mirrors are great, they just...

    I've read that door hinges are not necessarily covered. Door edge is part of the outer-body sheet metal so yes.

    Yes, as long as it's the outer-body sheet metal.

    The 36 month is for all sheet metal panels. The 60 month is for outer-body sheet metal panels only (per attached US warranty). I assume the Canada warranty is identical except for the 160km limit.

    Technically it does not cover just bubbling since it specifically says "holes caused by corrosion" but it sounds like most cases of bubbling are being covered.

    Aluminum bolts wouldn't be nearly as strong as steel. Also they are threading into steel inside the door, so the aluminum bolts would be the first to corrode, which can never be a good thing.

    It's actually 5 years and unlimited miles, and it also only covers it there are holes (see attached). But as stated many people are getting the repair covered even without holes.

    No problem, I didn't take it as rude and I didn't mean to sound defensive. It can be difficult to convey meaning in a quick post. I also should have said something in my post about definitely going to to the dealer, or multiple dealers if that's what it takes. I've got a few small bubbles on...

    I was merely sharing what is in writing from FCA. Some people have had their claims approved and some have had them denied.

    Unfortunately since you are beyond the 3 year / 36 bumper to bumper warranty, the 5 year / unlimited mile corrosion warranty only covers if there are holes, see attached. Others have had some success, seems to depend on the dealer.

    Andy, Can you tell me which hinges you bought? Also did you buy new bolts or reuse the existing? I would like to buy new and need to know the size.

    A TSB is merely a recommended procedure for repair and would not act as a recall.

    If you have the time when you get this done I would appreciate a new thread with procedure and specific materials and parts used. I actually really like the look of the black hinges on the Sting-Gray. And as luck would have it that is my color.
