  1. Starting to regret bigger wheels and tires….any words of encouragement ??

    The new Jeep Wrangler ā€˜Xtreme Reconā€™ model comes factory equipped with 35 inch tires, and the Stelantis boys fit it with 456 gearing. I assume you are running 410? https://media.stellantisnorthamerica.com/newsrelease.do?id=22862&mid=
  2. How do you balance being prepared vs being a tool?

    IMHO, driving all alone way, way out in the remote boondocks in your car is an extremely risky thing to do in the first place, regardless of what "tools" you may, or may not, decide to take with you. For example, what the heck do you plan to do, whilst purposefully isolated many miles from...
  3. Going from a Luxury SUV to a Jeep - Opinions Please!

    Thereā€™s no need to compromise wealth flash for off-road prowess. Get yourself a beautiful but ultimate brawny Mercedes Benz G63! It exudes your huge wealth richie-richie status, yet it sports 3, count em, 3, diffs. At the same time, it commands and literally demands massive and instantaneous...
  4. 2018 JLU Sport 2.0 Needs New Engine

    Given your car had 238 miles on it when you bought it brand new, and now your new motor is toast, this possibly could be the result of (but in No Way proves, by any means) that some fool idiot(s) may have been jamming it full throttle, and revving it up to its red line, prior to even coming up...
  5. First Thoughts

    Instead of a factory flat tow option, I oh, so much prefer that FCA would instead offer a factory option for the 2 inch lift, juxtaposed to the after sale MOPAR lift kit. I bet this option would out sell the flat tow thingie by at least 100:1.
  6. New Jeep- New Paint

    I recommend you write a formal request to your District Mgr FCA Rep and request that he/she contact the FCA factory for a formal and written answer to your question.
  7. Jeep Dealers Are Offering Up To $9,500 Off New Wranglers

    Well, $9500 off on the old gasser models gives fair game license to FCA to boost up the price of the impending new DIESEL powered Gladiators by $9500+ over MSRP. I will gladly shell out an extra $9500+ over list for my diesel powered Gladiator. Will do whatever it takes (will go as high as $20k...
  8. EJS 2019 - Journey Begins!

    We plan to run the 2019 ERF, so hope to see yall there!
  9. Jeep Rubicon 2019 Buyback

    Make sure to check out what happens with your loan. Your car loan is based on a specific VIN, etc. so if that thing is vaporized back over to FCA and you get a new car, will there be a requirement to take out a new loan on the new car, after paying off the loan on the old lemon car?
  10. Pay for warranty work??

    Thereā€™s always 2 sides to every story. Something seems like it might be missing here. Did your dealer see something that raised a red flag in their mind causing them to be suspicious of driver abuse? If so, did a discussion/argument ensue? Not taking sides here, but it sure feels like there may...
  11. Going from a Luxury SUV to a Jeep - Opinions Please!

    One thing to be aware of is the low end, kid like ā€œpresenceā€ factor of a Jeep owner/driver. Late model, top of the line models of Porsche's and Benzā€™s seem to be associated with mid-age, financially successful ppl, unless they bought them on time, and/or they leased them, in which case anyone a...
  12. First sighting of 2020 Jeep JL Wrangler PHEV Plug-In Hybrid!

    Uh, I think you are overlooking a huge factor! Whilst in full electric/non-ICE mode, the electric motor(s) develop full torque output a fraction of a second after you apply throttle. Think massively improved low RPM torque availability for super improved rock crawling performance. It will be...
  13. The HellFire JL

    OMG! For that chunk of change, you could have purchased yourself a nice new 2019 G63, with a full factory warranty to boot, with excellent service readily available at all Mercedes dealers, anywhere in the US. Good luck getting your custom car serviced when Murphy's Law kicks in, and it suddenly...
  14. After purchasing 7 new Wranglers since 2012 I think I'm done

    Perhaps you coukd sit down with the Service Mgr, and/or the GM of the dealership, and convince them to put 10 miles on your wifeā€™s Jeep, so their tech can first hand observe/experience the clutch problem.
  15. After purchasing 7 new Wranglers since 2012 I think I'm done

    Canā€™t you try again on the service side of things?
  16. After purchasing 7 new Wranglers since 2012 I think I'm done

    One way to ensure great warranty service is to buy either a new Mercedes, or a new Subaru, and have them do ALL of your service. I have never had any warranty matter denied for either brand of vehicle, and I have never experienced anything but tremendous service, if not even better, from these...
  17. After purchasing 7 new Wranglers since 2012 I think I'm done

    My takeaway is if you install a lift, your risk of warranty denial may be heightened, but for sure, if you insist on lifting your car: 1-Donā€™t exceed 2 inches of lift, max 2-Use only the Official MOPAR 2 inch lift kit, purchased through your Jeep dealer 3- Above all else, have your new MOPAR...
  18. After purchasing 7 new Wranglers since 2012 I think I'm done

    To some degree, I do sympathize with Jeep dealers in terms of them sometimes being a bit skittish to carte blanche, willy-nilly approve and cover any/all warranty claims. For instance, what do our factory warranties say about "off-road" use? I don't know, but I will go over it this weekend with...
  19. After purchasing 7 new Wranglers since 2012 I think I'm done

    So, if youā€™re out in the boondocks and you roll over your brand new $60,000+ (out the door) Jeep Rubicon, youā€™re perfectly OK with totaling it out, and telling the wife your new family car is completely totaled? And oh, yeah, since you crashed and rolled and totaled out your $60,000 car in the...
