  1. In on 27th Dec and front end still not looked at!

    Agreed. Talking with some club members about getting a trailer out there Monday. Did a PM to @JeepCares and trying to get corporate involved. Most likely weak spider gears. There has been several bad castings go out which they have replaced and have a new part number for. Since this was an early...
  2. In on 27th Dec and front end still not looked at!

    they made an appointment for the 19th for a bay after calling each week and having the service manager say next Monday twice. Tech said he didnt want to tear it down because it needs a new axle. Dealer called in warrantee only after I said it is still covered, call it in. So now that they know...
  3. In on 27th Dec and front end still not looked at!

    So far what I have is the dealer called in a warrantee and the warrantee office said ok, tear it down to point of failure. However, dealer now says Febuary 8th is the first available bay to do the tear down for warrantee repair and see if it reaches the 70% cost ratio for axle replacement vs...
  4. In on 27th Dec and front end still not looked at!

    Shifting into 4wd should never break an axle on a stock rig regardless of the condition. Having owned several 4wd vehicles of different makes and models some with statistically weaker axles I have never had one break an axle so easy. So, now that you have identified you are a forum troll, what...
  5. In on 27th Dec and front end still not looked at!

    It was not something I wanted to do, but the situation warranted it. It was that or end up in a snowbank. With a non FAD front end this would never be an issue. Also, the FAD collar is the weak link in the system being spec'd 15% lower breaking point than any other component in the axle so if...
  6. In on 27th Dec and front end still not looked at!

    Long story short, front end grinding when going into 4hi in the snow on a corner Christmas day. Sent it on a flat bed to a dealership who I wont name yet on the Oregon coast the following Monday. Several calls...keep bumping the jeep. They say this week, then next week. 77k extended warranty...
  7. 4xe purchase and 1150 mile drive home

    I'm curious if that is the same Phillip Olson who was a classmate at AAA Academy. Hmm...I coudnt tell you. I got kicked out of that school for doing naughty things with a girl...not in a Jeep lol.
  8. How many miles on your 2.0t?

    Really? I think there was one that was listed for sale with over 100k already. I DD mine and had quite a commute for a while. Now it is down to a measly 45 minutes lol.
  9. How many miles on your 2.0t?

    Just passed 60k. New plugs were just put in. So far the engine and transmission are holding up. The engine sounds like it wants to be a washing machine, but it keeps on going.
  10. Remote Start System on JLU Sport S

    Wait, what? You just showed a remote start with a 5 inch radio nothing related to satellite. My sport S came with remote start and a 5 inch radio. However, as far as I know I cannot use the app to start the jeep. That is the only thing that would require the satellite. From what I understand it...
  11. JLU vs Benz vs Mitsubishi

    Eurospec Rubicon (AKA sport s with lockers) vs a non stock stock tire G55 ? Come on... Granted the portal axles, and triple locked G wagon gives it an edge from the factory it is not an apple to apples comparison. And that poor Mitsubishi... It should not even be in this neighborhood.
  12. 2020 JLRU 2.0 Engine Ticking

    From what I have read on this forum it is normal and just an injector bypass noise or something similar. We have high pressure injectors and that pressure has to go somewhere when you let off the gas. I only hear it if I am in an area where the sound can reflect back to me. I'm not concerned...
  13. 2020 JLRU 2.0 Engine Ticking

    Hmm. I have noticed that sound decelerating around town too. Noticed it since I bought it over a year ago. I have the hybrid so I assumed it had something to do with that system. I have over 48k now and it has not been a problem. May be an injector noise. There have been several posts about a...
  14. Ebay Rubi Steel Bumper (not a knock-off) pretty legit!

    Crap. Well looks like everyone will know when I get the EAG bumper
  15. Ebay Rubi Steel Bumper (not a knock-off) pretty legit!

    Bumbed. Went to roder one of these Rubicon "not knockoff" bumpers and eveyone is sold out. I'm to impatient and need a bumper to mount a winch this month so I pulled the trigger on this welded EAG instead. I will have to figure out a skid plate...
  16. Hope I didn’t make a mistake

    I have almost 45k on my 2.0T and have no complaints about the motor so far. The rear axle issues with the limited slip, and steering vs the JK are another topic, but that affects all motor choices. I would love to get 200+k out of this motor. By that point it has paid for itself, and I won't...
  17. Sting Gray Owners w/ aftermarket wheels please post pics

    295/70 17s Milestar Pats wrapped around a set of Rock Trix RT105s with a -12 offset. Only lift was a Rubicon take off and half inch spacers front and rear.
  18. How are those 18’s early 19’s holding up?

    2018 with 43k miles now. Motor has been going strong. Only oil/filter changes, and air filter change so far. Did notice a touch of opacy to the exhaust on start up last week. If anything with the pressure the turbo is pushing we will be getting some oil blow by earlier than a non turbo motor...
  19. Rubicon vs sport suspension height?

    You know I was thinking I needed to pick up a few kegs of beer while locked down. Might need to do that tomorrow before I finish this lift.;)
  20. Rubicon vs sport suspension height?

    When you can only afford half a lift because of COVID 19 Really, just ran out of time to get the front done today. If you ever wondered what a JLU looked like with Rubicon springs and a .5 inch teraflex spacer in the back, or what the differance would look like...well here you go...
