  1. Seasonally swapping hard/soft tops?

    I have a hard top, and a hoist to store it. Removing it is pretty simple. I was checking out the Bestop ultra - it's estimated at having a 4 hour installation for my JLU, yikes. So my question is, is it practical or even feasible to swap tops in the spring and fall, so I can ride the hard top in...
  2. 2024 Wrangler JL vs. 2023 model -- *Some* of the new things I (dealer tech) noticed have changed

    The physical antenna on the passenger side is a quirk I love and am sad to see go. Smoothed out sound bar is bad too. Thanks for these detailed observations!
  3. 2" Mopar lift lifted me up 3.75"

    I've really liked it. I haven't had to upgrade any other parts. I've towed my camper cross country and wheeled in Moab.
  4. Wrangler unlimited trailer towing

    Just thought I should follow up as I have towed across the Rockies and back between Denver and Moab. I think the JL did great. Yes you have to get used to high revs on hills, there’s no way around that, but the engine stayed cool, and the transmission temp didn’t go above 212 which is right in...
  5. Auto start/stop rant

    Ok this thread is getting a little long.... I just had to rant about poor implementation. If it didn't restart when you put it into park, or if it waited longer to shut off after you stop, as discussed in this thread, I probably wouldn't complain about it. To anyone who insists ESS somehow...
  6. Auto start/stop rant

    Definitely 7 Next time just don't click.... had to get it off my chest
  7. Auto start/stop rant

    There's a lot of putting words in mouths here, and a lot of unfair assumptions made about ESS haters like myself. Putting those aside, ESS does more harm than good for many drivers who aren't ever sitting in urban traffic and satisfying the "7 seconds" of engine off-time that gives ESS a...
  8. Auto start/stop rant

    It's not Really don't want to use "hacks" to prevent ESS, I'd rather press the button. Unfortunately towing does not disable ESS, as I have had it kick in while towing (with trailer electrical plugged in) PS, please don't try to molify a rant.
  9. Auto start/stop rant

    I bought my 2020 JLUR back in May and I have absolutely loved the vehicle. Have taken it wheeling quite a bit in Colorado and made a trip out to Moab as well. My only major complaint is the auto start/stop, which works terribly.... when I pull into my garage, the vehicle shuts off when I come...
  10. Wrangler unlimited trailer towing

    If possible, see if a dealer will let you test tow, and pull it up a hill. We just bought the Apex Tera which is just shy of 3000 lbs dry, it's smaller than the Nano. We have an equalizer hitch, which you absolutely need for the JL to keep the rig flat with no sag in back. But it's incredibly...
  11. Hitch-mounted cargo boxes

    Has anyone used the Stowaway2, Thule Transporter or Rola carrier on their Jeep? Just trying to get an idea for what fits behind the spare and what people like. I prefer the swingaway boxes to the racks... Thanks
  12. 2" Mopar lift lifted me up 3.75"

    Update, it settled down a 1/2 inch, will probably settle a little more
  13. 2" Mopar lift lifted me up 3.75"

    Just got the 2" Mopar lift on my otherwise stock 2020 JLUR. I like it! The ride seems a bit softer, there is a little bit more bounciness noticeable on bumps at higher speeds. I have not had a chance to test it offroad yet but heading to Moab next week. Since I am towing, before I got the lift...
  14. Air compressor recommendations

    Forgive my ignorance, but when you say the air lines run to each side- where do they go? Does that require special wheels?
  15. Air compressor recommendations

    Hi all, I'm looking for info around air compressors, for airing up after leaving the trail. I have a cheap one that plugs into the cigarette lighter, but takes quite a while. Is there a brand Jeep owners prefer? I have also read about on-board compressors and am curious how exactly those work...
  16. Worth it to spend extra on JL wheel option?

    Looks great, is that a 2" mopar lift? What tire?
  17. Worth it to spend extra on JL wheel option?

    Rubicons have a "machined lip" wheel option I really like that is $995 extra. I have skimmed pinned posts about recommended wheels and tires but it's unclear to me how big of a tire the stock wheels support. If I wanted to upgrade to a 37" tire, do many good tire options fit on the stock...
  18. Does extra weight of diesel cause concern for rolling?

    I found this article which suggests the same thing. https://www.fourwheeler.com/news/features/1911-first-drive-2020-diesel-jeep-wrangler-jl/
  19. Does extra weight of diesel cause concern for rolling?

    I am in the market for a new JL, and I love the diesel option. I've driven all three engines, the diesel is easily my favorite. However when I think back to when I rented a Jeep in Moab last fall, and some of the weird angles I had the vehicle at, I am concerned about the extra 400 lbs in the...
