  1. Rubicon upgrade to 35's & MPG

    That's what I was wondering (if it's higher than actually reported) as it's assuming 33's, but wasn't sure. Thanks for all the replies - great advice. For reference, I kept the wheels in my profile pic. They were originally on my '12 JKU, special-ordered from Mopar. Loved them, but the...
  2. Rubicon upgrade to 35's & MPG

    Finally wore-down the factory tires on my '18 JLU Rubicon and moved to 35's M/Ts. I expected my MPG to drop a couple, but it went from 19-20 to 15-16. I also notice that in general on the freeway, my shift points are running at higher RPMs before shifting when cruising (not accelerating)...
  3. USB Ports failing?

    So I took my rig in for a USB port replacement today, and they tried it and STILL no-go. Said somehow it affected the radio, so they are going to replace the radio. Ughh.... Glad I have the MaxCare warranty as I forsee this happening again in my future...
  4. 35's on Stock JLU - spare weight?

    One of the things that drove me to buy my '18 JLU was that you can put 35's on the stock suspension without rubbing. Doing this soon, but I had *assumed* that the spare weight on the back was accounted into this, meaning I didn't need to add extra weight-bearing supports. Can anyone confirm...
  5. USB Ports failing?

    Well I do the same, for that reason. USB A ports do have a wear-out lifecycle, designed for the lifespan of a PC - NOT a vehicle. USB-C ports, on the other hand, have a longer wear-out cycle. Regardless, I've done the research to make sure I have quality cables and keep them plugged-in, but...
  6. USB Ports failing?

    Huh, that's interesting. Would be nice if it was that simple (though why the hell can't they figure-out how to get OTA updates working!). If I have one complaint about the JL, it's the radio SW. I've worked for 25 years in SW development and I can tell you that if I ever released a system...
  7. USB Ports failing?

    A number of months ago, the USB port in the main console "went out" on me. Specifically, Android Auto stopped working. I found that the USB port in the center console worked, so switched to that one until I get it fixed. Now *it's* gone out as well. Lovely. Anyone else having problems with...
  8. Off Road Pages Update Status...

    Took my JLU in for the TSB to get the radio updated last week and viola - Offroad pages were there! For a week. They magically disappeared - while I was driving. This is complete crap - what kind of SW department is working on this? If this happened for SW I shipped - I'd be fired. And for...
  9. What did you name your Jeep JL?

    Bruiser - Black and blue and just a bit of red...
  10. Leather or Cloth Seats

    I don't know why this is a debate. Leather will last longer than cloth, and if you have an accidental spill, the seats won't "soak it up", you can just wipe it off. If heat is an issue in the summer, then put on seat covers. You always have the options to take them off later if you want and...
  11. Help deciding on 2 door or 4 door Rubicon

    If you're going to do serious wheeling and plan to take the top & doors off - I'd got with the 2DR. Looks much better with doors off and of course 2 less doors to take off. If you're more concerned about the flexibility of having space to haul stuff/people - then the 4DR. I used to have a...
  12. Android Auto not always starting?

    Done that, tried multiple cables including ordering an Ankar that is on Google's known good list for USB cables for Android Auto. Still 50/50 flaky. :-(
  13. Android Auto not always starting?

    @JeepCares - Please comment further on this. You asked me to send you my VIN, which I'm not sure why it's needed. I have the 8.4" Uconnect. It has Android Auto. I have a LG V30+ running Oreo. These should just work together.
  14. Too hot, too cold - I feel like the 3 bears!

    Thanks @JeepCares for responding. I will bring-up with the dealer when I go in next week for service, but this is likely by design rather than something not functioning in the Jeep, correct? Can you confirm either way the behavior of the AC/heater for us on the thread?
  15. Too hot, too cold - I feel like the 3 bears!

    I don't know if this is new with the JL as my previous rig was a 2012, but the heating/cooling controls are driving me nuts. This isn't the first vehicle I've had that had electronic climate controls, but in my wife's Suburban, when I put the air at 71 degrees - 71 degree air comes out of the...
  16. Android Auto poll

    Even though that shouldn't make a difference, I just tried it to no avail :-( I'm wondering if either my phone (LG V30+) is the issue or the port in my head unit. It's way too flaky and seems not everyone is having this issue.
  17. Which trailer to buy?

    I got the Falcon Eagle 4'x8' Utility trailer - and love it. So much easier than a pickup with a fold-down back ramp door. Yes, it can only haul 2990 lbs, but your Jeep can only pull 3500, so it's pretty much a match made in heaven. https://www.eagletrailermfg.com/falcon-trailers
  18. Android Auto poll

    After trying numerous cables, including an Anker cable that is "certified" to work by Google specifically for Android Auto, I'm posting this poll to see if there is sufficient flakiness here that @JeepCares should be aware of. For me, it's about 50/50 working/not working. It's super...
  19. I could not get thru this video!!

    I was fine until that driver back door took a hit. Ouch... rock rails, skid plates and bumpers are easily replaced. Body damage... yikes. Cool vid.
  20. ATTENTION THOSE LOOKING TO INSTALL WINCH ON MOPAR STEEL BUMPER

    I just installed the Warn plate yesterday. I have a Warn XD9000, which it says fits but requires a "relocating plate", which I did not order. So thought I'd try to fit it in somehow and was successful, but had to use my cutting wheel to modify the stock bumper a bit to fit the control box...
