I like exploring and that means you don't necessarily have full control of the situation. Today, I was following an old trail up a very steep hill along a very very tall cliff and it stopped. No warning, it just stopped 2/3 of the way up the side of a cliff. Not sure if these pictures do...

Got out for a good run on some backroads and ended up in a spot where I only had 2 wheels on the ground so a good opportunity to check if my clearance issues in the rear were solved. You can see that the rear left is fully stuffed and there is enough clearance still to get my fingers between the...

Life got in the way and my heart problems makes me work very, very slow but the basic install is done! It took me all week but a healthy person could do this easily in a day in their driveway. Probably faster if they've done a lift before. I've got some detailing to do yet but nothing critical...

Someone was mentioning the lack of "Sahara" specific install threads. Well, here is my short pictorial of my new front bumper. This is not a step by step instruction guide, just some extra pictures I took and some comments. Step 1) Unboxing, it came very well packed and on a skid. It will never...

In honor of the last JK being built on April 30th I think we should all commit to getting fresh poser pictures of our Jeeps. Stock, Mall Crawler, Rock Crawler, Trail Runner, Mud Bogger, Desert Runner, or Overlander; any style, any era, all are welcome, all are equal. Get a picture that best...

Can't lie, I'm more than a little envious and kinda starting to hate these people but it is a great video and really shows off the JL capabilities. Maybe next year I'll make it down there.

Thought it might be worthwhile capturing some real world height measurements. Maybe others can add their measurements. I've seen a few asks for these numbers. Sahara Unlimited - Nitto RidgeGrapplers 285x75x17" Top of tire @ 36psi = 34" Front fender edge = 38.5" Rear fender edge = 38.5" Running...

Spotted this. Look like you folks waiting for the 2-door 6 speed are in for a treat!

Might have taken to much medication tonight, but anyways, I was thinking of all the poor, brave souls pining for their JL orders. This is for them... 'O Wrangler, Wrangler, wherefore art thou Wrangler? 'Deny thy Fiat-Chrysler-Alpha and refuse thy Build Date. 'Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn...

Onionmania is apparently compulsive buying disorder. I had to look that on wikipedia. These Wranglers are worse than my Harley's for modding. Just binge spent my way through my tax return and I can still see thousands of dollars of stuff I want to get. The JL is arguably one of the most...

Car and Driver has done what they call an "in-depth" comparison review against a bunch of competitors. Probably the worst edited article I've ever read from a professional car magazine, lots of mixed up graphics and some obvious errors, but lots and lots of measurements comparing the JL Sport...

Found this comparison between JK and JL water management. Informative and I now know that we have water drains to keep an eye on. I'm impressed by the design on the JL but only time will tell if it prevents leaks.

I've a disability and discovered today that I need assistance in getting my spare tire onto the carrier. I need a solution for the trail. I've read a few amusing threads on this problem on other forums with lots of smart-ass and quite creative remarks which is fun to read but doesn't solve my...

Took a couple wrong turns and got a little lost but sure ended up in the right place :) Totally why I bought a Jeep!! PSA - No trout were harmed in this unintentional reconstruction of a recent Jeep commercial.

Trying to sort out the information and confirming my interpretation of the info on your site. It looks like JK Ring and Pinion sets will fit JL, is that correct? It looks like rear sets are interchangeable across the board and the only difference is on the front between rubicon and non-rubicon...

Anyone seen any news from vendors on wider, taller fenders? Particularly for the rear. I'm one of the odd-ducks that like the low-gravity, stuffed tire look but I need more fender coverage and clearance.

With all the questions and responses about "how big" and "will it rub" I think there is a lot of added confusion with the JL series because people aren't paying attention to whether or not they are talking Rubicon or not. The new world is more complicated. These are now much different vehicles...

Probably to early for this in the aftermarket but has anyone come across replacement rubber bump stops for the spare tire carrier? With the rim and tire combo I have the spare tire sits about 1" clear of the stock rubber bump stops. There is one on each side of the carrier. I'm not sure they do...

Just got my new tire and rims installed. Nitto ridge grapplers 285/75r17 MT Sidebiter II 17”x9 -12 offset They fit great, no issues for clearance in on-road conditions. Will need to put the rubicon fenders on for serious off roading but no lift will be needed for frame or suspension clearance...

Took my new JL for its first long drive last night. My JL is an Unlimited Sahara, loaded with everything but dual tops and tow package. Long story short, I'm thrilled and feel like a kid who just bought his first car with his own money :) This was just a 2 hour highway run, but I did get caught...
