  1. V41 Recall Installed Upside Down Club

    Mine also drove fine without the fix. Although It's about 10% more true now. Had Mopar version installed. Was hoping for the Fox. In the past I've only had the wobble once and it lasted all of one second after hitting a pothole at 50mph. That was the main reason for doing the recall.
  2. OCEAN BLUE Wrangler JL Club

    Oh... but this is not your run of the mill blue. It's an in your face, I can't look away BLUE. After a year of ownership, I still get people daily peeping inside and commenting that is the best color they have ever seen. I parked in front of our DQ last month with the Neon lights outside and...
  3. suggest side step for 2019 rubicon

    When picking out running boards one should consider that the tires do throw rocks and a step that sticks out a bit will protect your doors. I got the Roam side steps and am happy with them as the fit looks nice. I feel sorry for the car door that swings open and hits it as they are heavy and...
  4. Alpine Stereo Question

    This stock Alpine was the best from factory system I've ever listened to until we got our 2019 Lincoln Navigator Revel Ultima. That has a next level punch and would be the only system straight from factory I don't need to tweak.. I've put systems into my other cars that will loosen lug nuts...
  5. Is this amount of rust normal?

    Within the days of getting My JLRU I had mine undercoated with a petroleum based undercoating, not a rubberized type but it is a one time application. It takes a few days to dry and week or two before it's hardens to a tar like barrier. Did my 2016 Ram and new Navigator. I lost my last...
  6. Check in here if your steering is good. Tight, No wander, No Wobble

    2018 JLU Rubicon 6 months now and still great since day one. I point it and it stays. No wobble, I move the wheel just a 1/10 of an inch and it responds to that little movement in either direction. No Play at all. I mean it doesn't track like our other cars or Lincoln Navigator but it's fine...
  7. Avoid the diesel?

    ECU's were going for for $150 on e-bay so you could have sent it in and keep the original. That would keep the total price to around a Grand. Now there is a EPA settlement as of yesterday with FCA that will pay out 3075 to the eco owners from 2014 to 2016 but they will have to take in their...
  8. Flash drive issue.

    For those that want to go with a larger flash drive I did not have success with a 3.1 256gb. It would only recognize about 1/3 of the files. I first tried it as the exFAT format the thumb drive came as and it would not read anything. I reformatted to FAT32 and it recognized down to about...
  9. Rust Protection Standard?

    My first Mod was to take a trip to NH to the Rust Stop to get their Wax Oil sprayed underneath. They will spray a one time coating underneath and each year spray between the doors. It's like a black tar and is somewhat self healing. After a few weeks it turns into a kind of a hardened wax...
  10. Flash drive issue.

    Finally, The price dropped to $49.99 on the Samsung 3.1 256gb low profile usb. I bought two and they arrive Thursday. I plan to dump my entire collection I've bought over the past 35 years onto them. I'll update everyone after the new-years to how they work on the LJ 8.4" compared to my...
  11. Reminder: 5 quarts of oil to avoid oil overfill

    I too am late to this thread. Looks like it's still happening. 6 quarts listed on my receipt and a way over the top dip stick after 300 miles of driving. Had to wait an hour to get a quart drained after getting there. Two hours wasted out of my day to save on a oil change is not worth it...
  12. So How's The Real World Highway MPG?

    Rubicon unlimited, Steel bumpers, Roam side step rails, 3.6L, Automatic. Mostly stock but She is heavy. The overall mileage is great averaging 19.5 all around so far. Happy about that as I expected much worse. The highway miles are also around 19.5 when cruising at 70. You would think...
  13. When to do my first oil change?

    SOAB. Had mine done last week at 4500. According to the sheet, They also put in 6. I checked the dip and it's way high. It's too cold to drain a quart so I plan to head down today. I've always done my own oil changes but didn't think a dealer service dept could screw up an oil change...
  14. JLU Rubicon Average MPG?

    I'm at 5000 miles in my 2018 Rubicon Unlimited 3.6L mostly stock automatic. 50/50 in summer averaging 20.0 mpg. 50/50 in the winter averaging 19.0 mpg in Mass. Those are the computer calculations. I haven't checked at the pump with an actual calculation but I'm very happy with those numbers...
  15. Bikini Jeep JL Wrangler photo found in 2019 Jeep pamphlet

    I've learned my lesson on trusting pictures in brochures. We were getting the Punkin based on the picture of the brochure. If you remember it was a Copper hue. Don't get me wrong the Orange that came later was nice but not what was represented. I saw the Ocean blue and liked it better. I...
  16. backup camera suddenly stopped working

    Yep happened to me this morning. First problem I've had. Checked again after I got to work and still nothing. Now this afternoon all is well. I'm having it looked at next week. I also have a Ram where I had a fuzzy screen and it was just a connection problem. I'm thinking it's a similar...
  17. Flash drive issue.

    So I timed my 128gb. After ignition the last song plays within a second. I then immediately access the files and see the 5 dots. 35 seconds later it lets me select the list and it's ready to go. With that response time I would expect a 256gb to have a 60 second turnaround. My concern is...
  18. Flash drive issue.

    Looks like it accesses instantaneously. I will check on my way home tonight to time how fast. I guess it had to store the files or something. Anyways, It no longer is doing the 5 dot waiting dance. I was wanting to go 256gb but am waiting to see if anyone is running a large USB before...
  19. Track bar frame weld issue recall! [Updated with official UA5 recall notice w/ repair procedure]

    I was told the same. They just changed the procedure on the numbers. If you were on the recall,he frame number does not matter anymore. I was told because they couldn't read a lot of them so FCA said f-it just take pictures of all of them. This is good news as they would have had to remove...
  20. Track bar frame weld issue recall! [Updated with official UA5 recall notice w/ repair procedure]

    Just got back from the dealer and my photo session. Looks they only took the driver side pictures. I would have thought they needed both sides. Anyways the Mechanic said he thought they looked good. Mine is undercoated but it's just a thin layer of tar. I asked for copies of the pics...
