  1. Hurricane High Output JL Spotted at EJS?

    3rd gen is what’s in the wrangler. Not sure what the one in the video is though, haven’t seen either 2nd or 3rd up close.
  2. Hurricane High Output JL Spotted at EJS?

    Curiously though it seems like the engine we hear the least about having issues is the 2.0T. So many 3.6 over 75k with ticking/head issues, the oil cooler that only lasts 40k, burning coolant, rear main seals going, etc. I don’t want a 2.0 but since that engine is essentially the 3.0 I6...
  3. Hurricane High Output JL Spotted at EJS?

    To be fair though the Bronco Raptor with that 418hp is $100k. I'd rather have a 470hp 392 XR for that money. I was looking at 2.7 broncos and trying to swallow the puke in my mouth but I just don't think I can dig the styling or the IFS considering 75% of my Jeep's life has been wheeling trips...
  4. Hurricane High Output JL Spotted at EJS?

    This. I'm coming up on 60k on my '19 JLR and would love to look at a newer one now that I moved up to the mountains with a resulting longer commute down to the city. The 3.6 feels disposable above 80k with the ticking issues etc and I have had my fair share of recent electrical gremlins...
  5. What day 1 mods do you recommend?

    If you have any wheeling plans, a simple skid for the engine/transmission area is a must too. The rest of the rig is well enough protected and I think the full underbelly stuff is unnecessary after 50k miles of heavy wheeling. I like the EVO Protek skid on my 2019 but it does seem like they...
  6. Does anyone like their Jeep?

    This post appears on every forum since the beginning of time. You are on an internet forum. Forums are literally built so people can come together to diagnose, troubleshoot, and otherwise look for solutions to both common and uncommon issues about a particular product. Of course you are going to...
  7. New 2024 Jeep Wrangler Commercial Ad Spot Featuring "California Love" Track (**ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS**)

    I meant just between what's available for the JL - if we're including the 4.0 I'd pick that too. A bulletproof tractor motor is exactly what I want in a Jeep. Buddy's got a 392 and it's a blast to drive, but it does seem like a bit too much motor for D44s and I don't love the mandatory full...
  8. New 2024 Jeep Wrangler Commercial Ad Spot Featuring "California Love" Track (**ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS**)

    They're not doing 3.6 autos anymore? By far the most satisfying drivetrain combo if we aren't counting the 392.
  9. Will a 35x12.50R17 require a spare tire relocation bracket?

    I've had a 315 Milestar Patagonia MT on there for like two years and am over a year in now on 37x12.50x17 BFG KM3s with stock tailgate and have no sagging or any other issues whatsoever. Pretty good amount of wheeling and long routes like Mojave road have been done with this setup. The 315...
  10. Very Loud Brake Rattle

    I know this is an old thread but for anyone that has this, I think there's a small bushing or rubber/plastic part that breaks off on the brake pedal assembly and allows it to move more than intended. About a year ago I noticed the part fall off of my pedal assembly. I found where it went and...
  11. Nervous to order...

    IMO I would just shop lots nationwide. There's so many damn jeeps out there - I'm sure a handful exist that are nearly identical to your desires. Find 4-5 units specced how you like them, email the dealer with an offer slightly under invoice and deal with the ones that are willing to play ball...
  12. RCV axles, two piece or one piece? let me hear it

    I broke my stupid FAD-equipped stock axle due to that housing being the weak point on the tube, so I went with an Ultimate Dana 44 with no FAD housing and I never noticed any additional drag or mpg loss, nor vibrations with an Adams 1350 front driveshaft. I can still see ~18.5mpg highway on 37s...
  13. Competition: 2025 4RUNNER news, specs, timing, preview CGIs -- insider info

    I would suggest an optometrist. I think the lack of development on additional trims/drivetrains/packages for the 2 door is exactly how they keep it around. 35" tires, different engines, figuring out where to find the space for 4xe hardware, etc all would cost a lot in R&D and likely...
  14. 35" and 37" JL pics with lift kit

    No reinforcement, been that way since my first set of 35s in 2020 and now about a year in on the XR wheels and 37s with lots of heavy wheeling. My buddy has run an even heavier setup and has wheeled even more often than I do on his 18 and hasn’t had any issue. No sagging or any signs of fatigue...
  15. 35" and 37" JL pics with lift kit

    Dumping a handful from the last 12 months on the XR wheels + 37" KM3s. This is metalcloak control arms but 2.5" 2 door Rock Krawler springs that are usually loaded down with gear. Likely going to 2.5" 4 door springs or just fresh metalcloak springs as I think I've sagged these a little over the...
  16. I built a box for tools and gear.

    Ditch the rear seat unless you absolutely need it often - hard to do much with it in in terms of carrying anything but there's plenty cargo space without it.
  17. Naked + A/C...

    All the time, why not? it's a method to help keep you cool.
  18. electrical issues, dtc codes lost powering steering, stuck on acc mode

    Found it. Looks dry and all the connections look fresh on mine with no sign of corrosion or rodents. If anything this is a good exercise to get 5 years of trail dust out of the dark depths of the rig. hopefully the blocks do the trick, but at least the JL is easy to pull apart and follow the...
  19. electrical issues, dtc codes lost powering steering, stuck on acc mode

    Yeah, I got hands on the pump last night after doing a thorough look through of the rig as I suspected mice from a recent trip. Pump looks fine, easy to get to and swap, and the electrical connections looked good. Pulled both my front seats and all the carpet trying to look for any frays/rodent...
  20. electrical issues, dtc codes lost powering steering, stuck on acc mode

    You ended up replacing the power steering pump? How involved was that job - was it a costly repair? Trying to narrow down the can bus glitching issue on my rig now but I seem to get every error/service message under the sun except power steering, and I don't think I lost any steering authority...
