  1. Opinions on the manual transmission

    Did the test, couple hundred miles and no difference between on or off with the brake assist. Only thing that could be slightly different is maybe some brake drag with the brake assist on compared to off, no difference in the clutch at all

  8. JLU aftermarket front bumper for Blue Ox flat tow yoke

    Did you choose aluminum based on the weight difference or another preference? My first thought is the steel would be stronger and they appear to be a couple hundred cheaper? New to Jeep life so any feedback would be great help. Thanks., Henry
