The Aluma 8216 comes in around 1450, but the price is double to triple a similar wood decked steel trailer. My 2018 JLUR has a 5800 GVWR and is around 4300 factory, so even if I build it up to 5000 I'll still be ok on a 7500 pound rating. The class C units I was looking at were around 8/500...

Since posting this morning I'm now leaning toward going to a custom built Class B solution built on a 170" wheelbase Sprinter 3500XD 4x4 or a Sprinter 4500. Both of them can tow up to 7500. The back of the van would have dual 6' benches with a 6' table that can convert to a bed with the main bed...

I don't have one yet. Leaning toward an Aluma 8216 Executive.

Good to know. I'm leaning towards an Aluma 8216 Executive which is 16' with removable fenders. Or the other option is to flat-tow, but that has it's own set of pros and cons. Initial pros are it's lower cost and not having a trailer to park/store or just need room for in general. Cons being, the...

I'm looking into a car hauler for towing the Jeep behind a Class C motor home. The motor homes I'm considering are between 24 and 30 feet in length, specifically the Coachmen Cross Tail XL series with he Ford 7.3L engine. For a trailer, the Jeep should fit on a 16' no problem, but the next...

Last year I ordered a RhinoRack backbone and Pioneer platform from them in early February. It was $200 cheaper than anywhere else because it was on sale. It was also supposed to ship by March 18th, which was perfectly fine for my timeline. As it got closer to the date they started slipping the...

You can't live on what if though. That's like saying what if you could have avoided serious trouble by just being a Defender instead. For every problem the 575 might solve over the 275 there is another problem with GMRS limitations in general. If you want to spend extra money for extra security...

So Jeep replaced my Uconnect 8.4" this past spring with a refurbished unit. In June I signed up for a 1 year 4.99 per month SiriusXM deal. Yesterday I got an email from SiriusXM stating that they see I "no longer own my vehicle". I'm sure it's related to Jeep using refurbished Uconnect units for...

Last question, is that a quick link in between the Topsy straps and the RR eyebolts?

Exactly, if anything this solution distributes the weight better than the Topsy brackets and strap.

I found another thread that is using a second set of the short straps and a set of eyebolts on the rack. #277 Using the extra straps to eyebolts solves your first problem and the eyebolts can be adjusted to balance the CG.

I assume those are the RR eyebolts and 2 additional short Topsy straps?

Has anyone with a Racor used it to lift the top with a RhinoRack Backbone and Pioneer Platform installed? Added weight is about 90 pounds. I have the metal Topsy cams.

Maybe, I'll have to check the battery state in the morning. 12.5 volts not running it technically 90% charged, so it's not like it's really even hitting low.

Mine has yet to ask me or indicate that the update is "available" to run. The previous OTA update I got in July 2018 I had to initiate. I have an appointment for next Friday, and to look at the steering box TSB. I did the steering stabilizer TSB a while ago when it first hit.

I got my 2018 JLUR in June 2018 with the 8.4" Unconnect. Over the first 2 and half years I didn't have any issues with it other than occasionally not having the backup guides or an ultra rare reboot while driving. Then in early December I parked my Jeep for the winter with a battery tender on...

@wibornz How do you like the SST Pros on our Michigan winter roads?

@timize I forgot to ask, did you have XM preset issues on 34.2?

My 2018 is still on 21.1, I found most of the updates to run it, but I'd prefer if there were more officially supported documented steps from Jeep.
