Interesting about the safety packages & possible delays. FWIW, I ordered mine (Sahara/sarge green) mid November and it’s at the dealership for pickup later this week. I opted not to get the advanced safety group on this one (I have it on my Rubicon & didn’t think it was necessary on this one)...

FWIW: Ordered my 4XE on 11/13. Cryptostickers showed a build sheet yesterday, and window sticker today (12/29). I didn’t go nuts on the options on this one like I’ve done with my other two Jeeps, as (with the new tech) I’m just going to lease it & see how it goes. But I will say that as much as...

Honestly, 4+ months wouldn’t surprise me at all right now. FWIW, I waited about 5 months between order and delivery for my 2018 JLUR. It was supply issues that held it up (manual transmission & trail tail system, specifically). Given the state of supply issues right now, chip shortages, etc., I...

I got my recall notice yesterday & called both dealership and FCA immediately. Dealership wasn’t much use beyond general info saying they didn’t have parts or a fix procedure yet & they’d call me when parts were in. FCA was slightly better. They created a case number for me to set the repair...

After searching the forums, I might be out on my own on this issue, but I wanted to see if anyone else has run into it, too: The Jeep: 2018 JLU Rubicon, 6cyl, manual trans, July 2018 build. The issue: Occasional ESS failure, wherein I get a grinding sound (like trying to start a car that’s...

I can understand how a significant portion of m/t drivers might like this kind of feature. I personally don’t care either way, but I mean, why not? I’ve almost exclusively owned m/t vehicles for the past 40 years (Jeeps, VWs, several Porsche’s, Audi, BMW, Mini, and a couple old mustangs &...

I’m having intermittent issues with my auto stop/start system, too. It’s only happened a handful of times & there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. What I’m getting is a mechanical/electrical whine of sorts when the start function re-engages. I’ll hear that noise & the Jeep will fail...

Lol - good to know!

Saw this post & have an on-topic related question which I’ve been wondering about for some time now; how much snow accumulation can our soft tops actually take? I grew up owning Jeeps in New England, Vermont & upstate New York. Whenever winter came around, I would just switch to my hard tops...

I think the factory steel bumpers are ok. It’s a decision that depends on many factors. I went with them simply because I just don’t feel like messing around with aftermarket upgrades right now (too much other sh*t taking up most of my time). Rear sensors are built in, too, which is...

That pretty much sucks about the headlights. I know it’s a common issue with LEDs in general. It’s just too bad FCA didn’t address it. FWIW, I’ve got the LEDs on my JLUR, too, though mine will only see snow when I drive up to the mountains. One simple hack to try is just waxing the headlights...

So true. I’m also finding the more I drive it, the more I like it, especially now seeing what it can do, after a long break-in period during which I really babied it. I still don’t push it (as a matter of habit) but have found it can come damn near a total stop in first, and still launch you...

Going to add one here. Not a death wobble, but a surprisingly intense bump steer lurch over a patch of graded freeway over the weekend. The vehicle is a bone-stock 2018 JLUR, the road a typical California freeway with a small patch that was clearly recently graded (ground down to be even, but...

2k miles on my JLUR manual & I’m averaging 15.something or other mpg. I’m just south of San Francisco. Mostly start and stop driving in hilly terrain.

I know I’m in the minority, but I actually like the ESS feature. Big caveat is that my JLUR is a manual, and I think having a clutch makes it both easier to control and engagement/disengagement almost unnoticeable. Curious to what degree the “like it”/“don’t like it” thoughts correlate to...

Got to say that at just over 2k miles, I feel like my JLUR drivetrain is nicely broken-in, and I’m really loving this manual. Yes, there are the quirks everyone’s mentioned, and I’m coming off a high-performance 6-speed to the Jeep (which took some adjustment) but I’ve noticed that slight...

You’re spot on about them all operating differently. My former Mini was push button also, but different from Jeep in that you did not have to keep it depressed until the engine turned over; one touch set the starting sequence into motion & it would continue regardless of whether you kept your...

No problems with proximity and the door handles; I just lightly touch them with my fingertip & they all unlock. However, my engine start/stop button is a different story; first push usually does absolutely nothing (not always, but more often than not). Second push will always engage the starter...

Hmmm....anyone feel like helping me decipher this? Is it “177”? MDH is 062809. Looking at the welds themselves, the big white X seems to suggest someone inspected them at some point during assembly.

I meant to say I’m NOT saying this is a fix. Sorry about the typos.
