I've had a few other Jeep's, and I can say they have gotten better with quality. It may not seem so based on the number of problems many owners have, but compared to my 98 TJ and 08 JKU, the 19 JL is much better in terms of things going wrong.
When I was trying to decide on which tires to replace the stock tires, I did a lot of research. What size did I want. What appearances I was going for. How capable I wanted the tire to be. Which conditions I felt were the most important.
This research led me to the tire ratings charts at...
Looking at all the scratches on my black top, thinking of getting a sharpie out...
Honestly OP, maybe just get a sharpie and run that all the way around the drip rail so it looks intentional? Like a pin stripe?
OK, not sure I have seen it mentioned. BFG KO2 Mud Terrain (MT) is a very different animal than BFG KO2 All Terrain (AT).
I have a set of Rubi take off's on my JLU that had MT's on them when purchased. The MT's sounded like a hot mess, and handled absolutely horrid. I actually swapped back to...
As was mentioned, the single biggest reason I put the hard top on in the winter is road salt and seeing through the rear window. It does provide a quieter ride, quicker warming up inside and the added security of being able to lock the vehicle more securely, but the #1 reason is road salt and...
From the link is this nugget:
Add roughly 1"-1.25" of lift to your 4 door Sport or Sahara and roughly 2-2.25" to your 2 door Sport or Sahara!
ALL Springs are left and right specific! Mixing them up could cause Jeep to sit uneven!

I'm getting 23.5 in my 2.0L JLUS. Stock tires back on (kicked the Mud Terrains to the curb for winter). Drive about 75mph on Highway 50+ miles/day and fill up with 10% ethanol 87 octane fuel. No issues with fuel economy.
Don't get me wrong, the MT's were awesome when I went out to the Silver Lake Dunes and aired them down to 12 psi a month ago. And they performed great last weekend on trails near Higgins Lake. But the ride to and from... Would have been nice to actually be able to carry on a conversation with my...
I hear you there, and I did try several pressures - 38 out of the shop, 34 (my usual), 30. Not really much difference in what I saw in them. I had considered that maybe the balance was off, but that will have to wait to confirm.
Similar to @00Sebby, I've had BFG AT T/A's on both my previous...
As the title says, I put the stock tires back on my Jeep last night. I love the rims I picked up, but the BFG MudTerrain 255/75R17 (JK Rubicon take-offs)... lets just say they leave a lot to be desired for a daily driver.
- Noisy
- Rough Ride
- Bad on wet roads
- Introduced vibration at highway...
My Jeep has had the loose steering since it was delivered. I've been back to the dealership a few times, and keep getting the "i drives just like other JL's on the lot". it isn't right, and I had the head service tech ride with me, and he witnessed what I did, and agreed with me. It was...
Did you do the work yourself or have a shop do it? Looking at picking up a Rubi Take-off suspension for $100 off of Craigslist.
Also wondering what the benefit is of the track bar brace?

It lets you assign value to each category based on your usage. So for example, here in Michigan, I want wet...
Still waiting for the part to arrive at my dealership. Was told they are only getting 1-2 a week that come in and I'm in line. @JeepCares can you comment on availability of the part in question?
Was on a trip with the kids over the weekend and realized that my JLUS doesn't have USB ports in the rear seat. Of course this becomes a minor inconvenience that I would like to remedy. So I'm looking at picking up a 2 port outlet like this one and installing it...
