  1. Body Tub Separation at Rear Seam

    Well this seems disconcerting. Buddy sent me a photo of the rear tub seam paint cracking on his '22 Rubicon 4xe last night. Went out to check on mine, and sure enough, both sides showing the same cracking & separation. About. 2" crack on the driver's side and 7"+ on the passenger. Searched the...
  2. Ongoing Electrical Gremlins - 2021 Ecodiesel

    Some of you may remember the saga of my diesel JL and the oil leak (+ more!) repairs last year and this spring. Well, I got pretty fed up and beat down going in circles with @JeepCares case managers and others. Long story short, it was at a dealer for 70 days from Sept-Nov, but when I got it...
  3. Arctic Cat Mini Bike Electric Rebuild?

    I've been kicking my old Arctic Cat Climber mini bike around the garage for too long. Flywheel is destroyed on the old Tecumseh 4hp and I haven't been able to source a replacement in years. Since it needs a new power unit, I'm toying with the idea of converting it to a brushless electric motor...
  4. Price Jumps and Such

    I was chatting with a buddy yesterday after Jeep's 20th Anniversary Rubicon reveal, and the associated price tags. Woah. I've been looking at replacing my JLUR diesel since I've had ongoing issues with it and dealer repairs. Updated pricing, from my '21 to a new-order '23 was a little shocking...
  5. Opinions on Moving Forward

    Looking for some advice from the community. My Jeep has been at the dealer for service for 62 days as of today (Doug Smith in American Fork, UT). For almost all of that time, it has been parked in the side lot, windows down (plastic taped over them), doors unlocked, most of the main electrical...
  6. Diesel Problems, Now With More EGR

    My favorite Jeep continues to hurt me. Not really looking for advice. Just commiseration, and get the issues out there into the Jeep-world ether. Our '21 JLURD went back into the shop on September 16 for some hardware the dealer failed to reinstall with the engine oil leak repair 18 months ago...
  7. Diesel EGR Cover Missing Brackets?

    I picked up my Jeep from the dealer service on Wednesday and noticed the foam EGR cover was loose in the engine bay. Had 3 techs and service writer take a look and no one was able to see how it would attach, though the molded-in bracket had scuffs from a bolt head. They weren't very helpful in...
  8. Leather Seat Tearing on 2021

    I noticed what looked like fuz in the corner of my driver's seat "leather" this afternoon. Tried to pick it out and it was the seam of the seat separating! Jeep is about 18 months old with just under 20k miles. Pretty disappointed in the lack of durability. No issues in almost 100k miles in my...
  9. Moab in November

    We decided mid week last week to make a run down to Moab for a final camping trip of the year. Drove down after some meetings on Friday afternoon and got to town just after sunset. Moab was about as busy as it used to be on a high-season weekend 8-10 years ago. So not too bad? We ran Hell's...
  10. So We Took A Little Trip (Southern Utah)

    We spent last week hitting up some of southern Utah's finest overlanding, though it was just supposed to be a fun out and back to the Canyonlands Doll House. Little narrative below if you want, otherwise enjoy the photos! I originally envisioned and planned this trip in February/March as a...
  11. Does FedEx Suck Everywhere Else, Too?!

    Why can't FedEx manage to deliver anything on-time?! Yesterday was the third time in a month that FedEx has failed to deliver my package within the scheduled delivery commitment. This one was 2-day select. Yesterday they had no info for me; today they say it is in SLC but they don't expect it to...
  12. Experience With ARB Rock Sliders?

    Anyone have experience with the ARB rock sliders they can share? All I can find on here is the post from @74bronco_nomore asking about the gap, which I don't mind. @JurassicJeep12 how are you liking yours? My Jeep will certainly see some trail use. It seems like even most/all of the...
  13. GMRS Radio Install Location Questions

    Looking for advice/guidance/experience for mounting the Midland MXT275 GMRS radio base in my JLUR. I have the @CoolTech front antenna mount and ghost antenna, cable run into the cab under the driver's dash. I want to hide the base unit, preferably under the passenger seat. Has anyone else...
  14. '21 Diesel Oil Leak on Engine Driver's Side

    I was under the Jeep tonight checking my suspension bolts and noticed a damp oil pan. Traced it up, and there's an oil leak coming down the driver's side of the engine. Can't trace it up too high, but I can see it is from above the oil pan somewhere. 6540 miles on the Jeep. Oil was low too when...
  15. Rubicon Front Axle Bushing Misinstalled?

    I installed the MetalCloak Gamechanger 2.5" lift on my 2021 Rubicon over the weekend. While working on the install I noticed the stock axle bushing on top of the front differential doesn't seem to be pressed in all the way on the driver's side. Doesn't seem like it worked its way out (no scoring...
  16. Teraflex Alpha HD Tire Carrier Doesn't Work for 2021

    I tried installing the Teraflex Alpha HD Spare Tire Carrier last week only to discover the housing doesn't fit 2021 models, as Jeep update the camera. There is no way to get the camera to stay put in the housing. Teraflex says they know it is an issue but don't have a solution. They suggested...
  17. Reaching Southern Utah Cold War Relics in a JLUR

    We took a quick weekend trip down south last weekend to explore some of the areas north and west of Moab we usually drive past but say "we should check that out sometime." We spent Saturday on the east side of the Green River. On the south end of town is the abandoned Green River Launch...
  18. Just Another White Rubicon

    We finally picked up our new Jeep JLU Rubicon Diesel yesterday! After a road trip home, I had the roof rack and ski box installed by dinner, then got the hard top on the hoist and off the Jeep in time for a midnight topless cruise through the neighborhood. Feels good to be back in a Wrangler...
