  1. Ode to the 3.0D: Test drove one and....

    I owned one of the first 2020 Diesel Wranglers in Utah. It routinely achieved 30 MPG and was trouble free for 4 years. Hence, when I heard Jeep was discontinuing the Diesel engine, I started searching for a new one. Long story short: Local West Valley Jeep dealer wanted full list. Nope...
  2. Not that it's a contest, but just how many Jeeps have you owned?

    Started with a 1980 CJ5 Inline 6 convertible. Followed that up with 10 Wranglers (YJ, TJ, JK, JL) ending with my current JL Diesel Sahara. Add to that 3 Grand Cherokees (Wife's favs) and 1 Jeep Cherokee KL. The two worst were a YJ that spent more time in the shop than on the road, and the...
  3. Radio display burn in

    Yeah, not minimizing the issue - but see it as tolerable. Had the Alpine head unit in my 2020 Wrangler Diesel die on the right channel sound. It was replaced on warranty. Hunter
  4. Tire wear on BFGoodrich KO2

    I've got C-rated 35" KO2s mounted on 17x8 rims running 30 PSI. With the large tires, wear is minimal. Their snow/ice performance is incredible. I'd check alignment. Hunter
  5. Owners who live up in the cold with the eco

    I've got two Jeep EcoDiesel's, a 2020 and a 2023. Parked the 20 outside for 2 Winters - and was impressed no issues arose, even when temps dipped below zero. I didn't use any additional oil/heaters, 'cause I wanted to see how the Jeep would do. There were a few times, when it was buried in...
  6. Xtreme 35 Tire Package Announced by Jeep -- Giving 35" Inch Tires to Two-door 2024 Wrangler for the First Time Ever

    I run the 35" BFGs on my Diesel Wrangler - which fit with no lift or suspension alteration. That creates top reliability when I'm out in the boonies. And, the full-size spare fits perfectly - lying flat behind the rear seat. Hunter
  7. Wrangler-Bronco Baby

    I had a '67 Bronco with the 6-cyl engine and 3 in the tree. It was easy and cheap to work on. I still regret selling it. Hunter
  8. Man, I really love my new Jeep

    Your take on the Diesel JL reflects my view of it too. I've owned 20 off-road Jeeps starting with an in-line 6 cylinder CJ in 1980. The worst one, a YJ, literally spent 1/2 the time in the shop. But, the quality of this JL has been outstanding. It's been 100% trouble-free. And, it...
  9. 35" TIRES ON STOCK SAHARA With 18" Rims

    I've got the Diesel Sahara with the taller HD suspension. After consulting with TireRack, I installed AR105 TORQ-THRUST rims with 315/70R17 K02s load C tires. It rides smooth and no rubbing when flexed. Hunter
  10. Is a muffler skid really needed?

    Same here. My wife and I can't hear a difference. Hunter
  11. Help! My wife HATES my new Jeep!

    My wife of 36 years hates every vehicle I love. The simple solution is she buys what she wants and I buy what I want. Hunter
  12. tailpipe

    I was on my back under the Jeep and was able to undo the mounts with standard hand tools (sockets, wrenches). I had difficulty removing the rear hanging mount so I used a Sawzall to cut it off. I could have done it without that cut, but it was faster and easier not to do so. Hunter
  13. tailpipe

    Got rid of my muffler last week using the Dynomax muffler delete 3" pipe. Thought there'd be a sound change - nope. Hunter
  14. Long Rang America Aux Fuel Tank installation

    You did what appears to be an outstanding install of a larger fuel tank. What is the capacity difference between stock and the LRA tank? Thanks, Hunter
  15. AEV Fuel Caddy for the Diesel

    One of' the reasons I got the Diesel this time was for the MPG it gets. When out on the Pony Express Trail there's no fuel available. On my last Pony trip I got 33 MPG in the dirt and only used 1/4 of a tank to get up to Wendover after hitting Ute headquarters in Ibapah (right on the...
  16. How to drive in snow and ice. A guide for idiots.

    I like it. The reason I have the Jeep is doing so makes it so much easier to get around in the Winter. Hunter
  17. Tire load rating - E rated tires?

    Yeah, after years of running rough Es I went with 35" Cs this time. It's the most comfortable riding Jeep I've owned. Go with the heavy duty E if you need it - just be sure the rough ride is worth it. Hunter
  18. JL Interior tailgate design, why?

    Got rid of my tailgate insert to make room for my 35" K02 spare sitting flat in the bed. Makes it so much easier to hand wash my Jeep without a huge tire in the way. Hunter
  19. How Important is Load Range?

    Due to ride comfort, I went with C rated 35" KO2s on my Diesel JLU. Every time I drive it I experience a smooth ride that shows I made the right decision. Hunter
