Update: I took the Jeep into the dealership and they adjusted the installation of the new steering damper that was installed per the recall. That did seem to feel a little better on the drive home. He stated that he would continue to research the steering issue and see if there was a fix...
I purchased my 18 as a special order and have not had any of the steering issues that many have talked about from day 1. My steering has always been tight, however, during the cold I have been dealing with the "rough spot" in the steering. I am in Texas so that doesn't happen very often, but...
Had a great New Year weekend in Red River NM. Enjoyed some amazing views, crisp mountain air and a snowy day of skiing. Of course one of the best parts was driving around the area looking for trails that might be passable during the winter. Obviously those are few and far between, but it...
Did you customize a mount for the radio or buy a premade mount? Were you able to fish the cables to the head unit from the base behind the dash? Can you update us on that part please? I am doing a similar build soon, but it looks like I may need a bracket for the base.
Morton - Yes, there have been lots of discussion about steering here, but mine has not been an issue other than this seemingly unusual issue. I have the OEM Rubi wheels and tires, no lift. The "tight spot" seems to be at about 30% right turn if that makes sense.
JeepCares - I have a...
No, this is not your normal steering post. I ordered mine and it was delivered in May 2018 after a 3 year wait... (it just seemed like three years. lol) I have had no issues with steering from day one. Its tight, doesn't wander, no wobble, etc. I have been very happy with it overall, with...
Had a great honeymoon trip to TC. Enjoyed the hot springs at Riverbend and found some great jeep trails in the nearby mountains. Need a solid week to go down them all and see everything there is to see there. If you are looking for a great get away, this is a great place to go. Lots of...
I reconnected with my now Fiance' because I had ordered my JL. We knew each other through mutual friends and had been FB friends for years. I noticed one night that she worked at the dealership that I had ordered from. So I sent her a message. that was 14 months ago and we are getting...
Going to be in the area in June and I have found some pretty good looking trails online. Anyone have any knowledge of the area? Anything that is a "have to do" in the area?
My 18 JLUR has 24k on it and recently took a trip to New Mexico. 1650 miles total. When we were up there, by MPG maxed out at 22.1. The trip average was 18.4 and that included several miles of 85 mph going and coming in the long stretches of ENM and WTX. I am averaging 17.5 with normal...
I know most good trails are closed during the winter (or that has been my experience). Anyone have any suggestions of trails that may be open in March in the RR NM area?
Well, mine did it last night when I used remote start as I was walking up to the Jeep. I had heard it a time or two before when I was in the vehicle, but hadn't noticed it as much until last night. I may do some testing and take it in to the dealership
