  1. Members old and new -- check in and wave hello!

    Traded in my 2016 RAM 1500 so the wife could have a new JLU in Snazzberry with the power top. I also traded my JL last January, so we now have a really nice pair of Jeeps!
  2. What is your 4wd pedigree? Prior vehicles and experience thread.

    I am going to keep my response all Jeep, but I have plenty of other 4WD vehicles, dual sport motorcycle, experience with 3 and 4 wheel expertise, and a range of off road experience in the Army in the old Chevy trucks and blazers, first and second generation Hummers, M577 command post, 2.5 ton...
  3. Rausch Creek 101 Class this Saturday 8-24-2019

    Trail #11 isn't overly hard. Maybe a light blue (rated 2-4), but Crawler Ridge and Crawl Daddy are serious trails. I think both trails are red in RC's ranking. I think they are both rated in the app 5-9 and I can tell you they are serious trails. You will need to be experienced, in a built rig...
  4. another V41 question

    I think that is because many people in this forum have a shimmy or even experience bump steer and think it is a case of death wobble. A new stabilizer doesn't fix true death wobble. Death wobble is an oscillation of the steering components creating a shaking/wobble throughout the steering that...
  5. Got the V41 recall work done

    No, this isn't really correct. A steering stabilizer isn't part of the cure for true death wobble. Death wobble comes from real problems in the steering alignment, wrong/broken parts, and in Wranglers one of the most prevalent causes is worn ball joints from running larger than stock tires. Worn...
  6. Mopar lift ok...

    There is certainly nothing wrong with it and plenty of owners do just as you describe. It is a bit pricy IMO for what you get, but the bonus is your suspension components can still be covered by the factory warranty or any of the extended warranty plans. You *may* need to have your dealer...
  7. ROAM JL Rock Rails Q

    Yes, that looks correct. The rear part of the front flare is much wider then your rear flare. The step is pretty much the same width from front to back, so it's natural for the rear to be sticking out from the rear flare. That looks real good by the way! I have a set on my 2 door and I really...
  8. OCEAN BLUE Wrangler JL Club

    Completed my install of Roam steps today.
  9. ROAM JL Rock Rails (JL 2 Door, MK2) Install Guide - Revision 2.0

    Before and after pics replacing the stock Rubi rails with the frame mounted steps/sliders.
  10. Dealer charging to FIX steering

    I feel for you, but that is definitely the case. Once you lift your Jeep with any kind of aftermarket kit, IE non-Mopar, they will refuse to warrant anything to do with steering and suspension. Do you complain previous to this? Or is this the first time? If it’s the first complaint they have...
  11. DC - Maryland - Virginia

    I followed the same service advisor from Manassas pre-Lindsay, to Farrish in Fairfax, to Safford in Warrenton, and then he went and changed careers! However, and they sometimes have a bad rap, I have taken 2 JKs (JKU Sport, JK Rubicon), a Grand Cherokee, and my Ram 1500 to Lindsay in Manassas...
  12. Fold and Stow Rear Seat Removal

    No, that is not what I means and I have known plenty 2 door JK owners that took their rear seat out fairly permanently. I plan on doing that in my JL during hunting season so I have more room for gear. I think they are likely talking about when it goes back in to make sure you push it fully back...
  13. Who has more than 1 Jeep ?

    We are down to just two Jeeps (have had up to 4 in the family at one point). We have our 2019 JL Rubicon (mine) and then my wife has this beauty.
  14. 2 Door Highway Driving & Handling / Comfort

    I have a 2019 2 door Rubicon, bought it 6/29. I have about 700 miles that I have put on it and honestly it is the best stock Jeep I have ever driven. I took it on a drive through the mountains here in Virginia two weeks ago, from Madison to Harrisonburg, up and over Skyline drive and didn't...
  15. How big of a Wheel/tire combo on stock Rubi

    If you look at Discount Tire Direct they have a number of 20” and 22” wheels that they show fit a JL Rubicon. 35” tall tires also fit on a stock Rubicon with the high line fenders. You generally won’t have any rubbing. Where people run into problems, and this is way Jeep recommends a 2” lift...
  16. Got the V41 recall work done

    I have a new JL Rubicon with the v41 listed in my mopar account, but zero issues so far. I will just wait until my first service to take care of it.
  17. How many of you have had a flawless Jeep?

    I only have about 800 miles on my 2019 JL Rubicon, but I don't have any issues at this point. No wondering, no steering issues at all at highway speeds around 70. The turbo 2.0 is fun to drive as well.
  18. talk to me about driveshafts!

    You absolutely will not need a 1350 driveshaft. That difference between the two is the u-joints and flanges. Typically people will do a 1350 with a hemi or LS swap due to all the extra torque or axle upgrades to 60s, etc, or if they really get crazy on tires (like 40s) and really do some...
  19. DC - Maryland - Virginia

    Hello all from Madison, VA. I picked up a JL Rubicon at the end of June in Ocean Blue. This is one sweet ride!
  20. Diff skids or heavy duty diff covers?

    What are you doing? What kind of wheeling? Unless you are doing some serious rock crawling where you could slip and bang the bottom of the diff really hard, you likely will only ever need stronger diff covers. Even that isn’t always necessary and from my experience really only necessary if you...
