7 months old, about 5,000 highway miles on 4 of them - drove from IN to CA and back - like new. Located in NW Indiana / Chicagoland area. $1,400 Local Pick-Up.
Just to report back from October. Both seat latches seem to be working fine so far. I guess there was an issue with the mechanism that releases the seat. They also replaced some parts that made the release require less force - must be a bulletin on this as they found it when it was in. It...
Well, after using all of my skid plates I wanted to report my results:
I seem to have avoided any real damage on the trails. The front diff skid hit several obstacles on the trail. I was surprised how many times I hit it. It protected the diff well, but the U bolt did get knocked off the top...
I'm checking in to the Moab Valley Inn on Thursday. I'm on the road in Nebraska currently. Well spend some time in Colorado this week before Moab.
I'll let you know when I figure out when I will arrive in Moab.
I will certainly find you and say hello.
Both installed yesterday. They seem the same design wise, but time will tell. If I have problems again I will report back. Still have 2.5 years on my warranty, so hopefully something will be improved by then, otherwise I will have to design my own improvement as these seem to be ridiculously...
FYI, there is a thread on the 2 door seat fold handle.

This is often true, but there are too many absolute statements here.
I had a stock TJ Unlimited (LJ) for almost 9 years. It would death wobble regularly on me if the tires needed rotate or alignment wasn't nearly perfect. This Jeep was never lifted, stock factory wheels, stock Rubicon tire...
I haven't had my JL through the winter yet, but I am curious to see how it compares to my TJ with the straight 6. That was blowing warm air before I got to the end of my block. Loved it, really eliminates the concern with a not so insulated top.
Most of my conversations with non Jeep owners go the other way.
They start with someone seeing my Jeep and saying. "I want to have a Jeep" or "My next car will be a Jeep"
I follow by asking why? Usually their answer is something thoughtless like they are cool, or I always wanted one, or I...
New update. I got a call from Jeep Cares yesterday and they said the second handle should be at my dealer in 3 to 5 business days. I have an appointment at my dealer to install both next Thursday. I will report back.
I was looking at the DV8 too, but when you add the cost of the engine oil pan skid it was more than the TnT option at around $500. That is one of the reasons I went that route. I too am using the stock gas tank and transfer plate skid. I have the front diff skid to protect the drain plug on...
Install went very well on Saturday.
Easy and just as expected. Nothing I had to figure out or modify. Just bolt it on.
I really like the way this skid is designed. Just what I was looking for for my use. I'm not planning to rock crawl regularly, so I think for me a whole system is just...
My skid is on it's way.
TnT has had good communication and been pleasant to work with.
I will report back when I get a chance to install it this weekend.
So, good story here. I drop off my Jeep at the dealer this afternoon and all goes well. I explained the broken handle and tell him that it was flimsy from the beginning. I bring him out to my Jeep to show him and mention that so far I've not had any trouble with the driver's side, as we look...
