25mpg on 35's is incredible.

It's not though: sits on a JLU wheelbase.

In the JK based Africa concept, they stuffed a 35" spare under the rear section. moving the spare made it the same length as a regular JKU.

Just in case they are- A BaseSquatch starts at $38k. Would strongly consider a 2door Willys XR at that price.

Noticed that. The order guide makes no mention of a manual trans/4.88 XR option. XR is a big upgrade on the Willys, since you get wide D44s. Fingers crossed they a.- get that made available together; b.-make it available on the Willys Sport; and c.- Make all that available on the Gladiator.

I appear to be running into late-week retardation.

Poll is missing the 2.2 Multijet.

Sure- its a decent way to get around. For the same money, most vehicles are better dailys, until you look at depreciation.

While the two specific vehicles are at different ends of the spectrum, together w/ the Bronco, they comprise the entire BoF midsize SUV segment in America. And as stated- MANY people cross-shop them. A Sport S with a few options costs the same as a 4R TRD-OR.

Grain of salt- Matt's is also an outfit that leaves a floor jack unrestrained, bouncing around behind the back seat while bopping around at speed.

If you can pay for a $60k jeep, $1500 isn't that much. If you're just looking to fill a hole in the bumper, by all means, buy a Chinese knock-off of a device that exceeds the electrical draw of everything else on your vehicle and can generate forces 2x the weight of it.

OP is asking about one for a $60k Jeep. It's all relative.

ON the JK there was also a J180 model, (AFAIK) same as the old . It flipped 180deg (thus the name) to the front, putting the sleeping platform over the hood. I'm sure with enough interest there could be a 180 version for the JLU.

Axles, t-case, trans, fuel tank breather...

Turns out winches are even better at dragging a downed tree off the trail than they are at skidding a mired Jeep out of a bad spot.

Was it sold as new? If it was, this is completely unacceptable. While it might not cause a real problem for someone who plans on off-roading the thing, someone buying it for collector purposes (I think the 392 WILL be a collectors item) would have received a vehicle in deteriorated condition...

You can get Duratrcs and Toyo MTs in that size. Once you go up to a 32 (or even better a 33) there are plenty of options.

Now I just want the check-box for a max GVW Rubicon. Then one could actually build up a nice rig, haul a useful amount of gear and occupants, and still stay within GVW. Of course, all the added weight in the 4xe is near the floor, so the CG isn't raised substantially.

As long as the DC-DC converter is big enough, it should be fine. The one in the eTorque vehicles is 3kw, and I wouldn’t expect this one to be smaller. As to the AC compressor, I’m sure that’s electric. Testing with or without AC may have caused much of the reduction in battery range.
