If one was to go this route, would a non-CV axle (Ultimate, Currie, etc.) be compatible? I ask because Jeep choose to go the CV axle route with the Selec-Trac for some reason. I haven't heard the reasoning behind it. I don't know whether the Rock-Trac Rubicon front axle (w/lockers) has CVs. Do...
@Crusader: Thatās a pretty impressive savings. Makes no sense really. Bigger vehicle, better equipped yet cheaper?
Wow. Too bad Iām set on a Wrangler.
@Arterius2: Close. Looks like it has 3.73 gears....and Iām really digging the 2 door.
Possibly I am overthinking the benefit of the LSD anyways. I've always just ordered my vehicles with a limited slip when given the option. I'm used to the characteristics of getting power to both rear wheels...limited of course. I envision punching a Rubicon on a wet road and having a one-legger...
I'm ordering a '21 Wrangler and need some advice. I've always wanted a 2 dr Jeep. It will be used for 98% street driving, 2% OBX beach vacations and maybe the occasional muddy mountain trail on weekends. I live in hilly/mountainous terrain that likes low gears, intend to upsize the tires to 35s...
Actually Iād like to take this opportunity to clear up this mispronunciation. Arnold was always incorrect in his reading of the Todd Bridgeās characterās name. It was āWill-ees.ā
Nothing like a man on YouTube in a fedora, misfitting suit jacket, and red undershirt that screams ācredibilityā! :CWL:
But in this case, heās correct. Itās Willis.
Just a few more option boxes would work. Having optional rear gear ratios is pretty standard on new vehicles these days. Especially trucks.
Or make it easy Jeep...make lower gears and bigger brakes part of the tow package. Easy peasy.
As to the buying a Rubicon but not using the locker comment, in my case I doubt I will need the lockers and I would bet Iāll NEVER use the sway bar disconnect either. But I want the lower 4.10 gear ratio and the bigger brakes. If just those options were available stand alone on the Sahara, I...
Thanks for the reply! Which dealer did you use? Can you join Tread Lightly at the time is signing or must it be beforehand?
Anyone else? Your experiences with locked in prices on special orders?
When I special ordered my last three 4x4s (ā90 Ford, ā98 Dodge, and ā08 GMC) I was NOT locked in on the discounts/incentives/deals at the time of my order.
Each time the dealers told me they couldnāt lock me in on the discounts/incentives/deals at the time of signing because they never knew what...
OP, Donāt listen to these naysayers!
Tire cover all the way! But get one of the cute ones with paw prints or the one that spells āJeepā upside down to show your humorous side.
Chicks dig that.
Edit:
Obviously Iām kidding. Dude says heās a Jeep-driving firefighter. Iām just trying to level the...
Nothing you can do if it runs off. Plus a wounded animal, even ones known to be docile, can be dangerous creatures. Anytime a dog gets hit by a vehicle on a public road itās 100% the animalās fault. IF a human needs to blamed, throw a portion on the owner. The bystander in your story was an...
The 12ga with birdshot is ideal. One shot when he flies into his nearby tree/bush.
Might alert the neighbors, but there will be no follow up shot. If you truly live somewhere where a shotgun birdshot blast could hit and damage someone elseās property or person, a $50 Daisy pellet/BB gun from...
Iād like to know the answer to this question too. Different material? Or just the texturing on the black fenders and/or the prep done to the painted fenders makes it seem that way?
Throw me in the same boat as the two of you. I will research a subject to death before buying- especially a new vehicle purchase. Impulse buyer I'm not.
I've special ordered three new 4x4 trucks since 1990 (a '90 Ford, '98 Dodge, and a '08 GMC) and each time I knew more about the product than...
