  1. Is the Ecodiesel the best Wrangler motor ever?

    To those who have said that Jeep stopped selling it because itā€˜s either a poor design or doesnā€™t drive well, there are 3 real reasons why the motor wasnā€™t a popular choice and got the axe: 1. Marketing. I canā€™t tell you how many people Iā€™ve come across, including while off-roading, that had no...
  2. Those who never take their doors off... Why?

    Itā€™s my daily. I have SOT so I go top back and windows down most of the time, unless I need my hair to stay put for work, but Iā€™ve never removed my doors or back windows. But thatā€™s also because I have a TJ that I usually run doorless with bikini top when I want that experience on a nice day...
  3. Ode to the 3.0D: Test drove one and....

    I have a diesel, a manual 4.0 TJ, and a TRX, and my family has had many other Jeeps over the years for reference. My dad and I went to Idaho to pick up his 392 and road trip back to AZ. And I can confirm that that vehicle put a smile on our faces and made us giggle like little girls for our...
  4. CavFab Installation Experience

    I have the CavFab tire carrier, and one of their rear bumpers and didnā€™t have too much trouble. I did use the YouTube video shown earlier in the thread as a guide, which helped. Overall, it is super high quality stuff and I get compliments fairly regularly on both the carrier and the bumper...
  5. Pics of the new Hurricane twin-turbo I-6 engine live at Stellpower

    The 4.0 was an old school push rod and while I love that sound (and have one) it was never going to sound like that. The hurricane is much more similar to i6 motors found in BMWā€™s, so as long as it sounds more like their standard turbo 6 and not the one in the m4, it should sound decent with...
  6. TUSCADERO Wrangler JL Club

    I missed the order window for Tuscadero by 1 day when I tried to order with my dealer. Does anyone know of any 392 XR Tuscaderos with SOT for sale? Any off chance that someone ordered one and isnā€™t planning to move forward with the purchase? My wife has been really bummed that we missed out...
  7. AZ/NV/Western Jeep Top Usage

    Yes, I forgot to mention that in my post. It seems to cut some heat, although I didnā€™t do the side panels so I canā€™t speak to that. It also cuts wind noise a touch which is nice. The top noise really isnā€™t bad to begin with, but cutting a bit of noise when the top is designed to cut heat is a...
  8. AZ/NV/Western Jeep Top Usage

    I live in Scottsdale and have a TJ thatā€™s bikini top only, no rear windows and a JL with SOT. The dust is a real concern. I donā€™t even try to keep the TJ clean inside, just wiped down enough so itā€™s not filthy. On the JL, the SOT is a game changer. I open/close it 2-3 times daily almost year...
  9. No power after rest stop. Couldn't get to highway speed on onramp.

    I had the same thing happen to me in Flagstaff in summer when the Jeep was new. I had been driving for a few hours and stopped for fuel. Got back on the freeway and had no power. Pulled over, restarted it, and it was all good again. Lesson learned to not jump on it after a long drive and quick...
  10. Power steering pump overheating issue on 2020 Eco diesel.

    yep, but donā€™t remember if that was before or after I seated them all.
  11. Power steering pump overheating issue on 2020 Eco diesel.

    The dash lights up like a Christmas tree and the message center yells at you. Had this happen when my Jeep was a few days old (on 35ā€™s) in Moab at 105Ā° and a few days later on Imogene pass at 60Ā°, but obviously very high elevation. Didnā€™t lose any performance, but wasnā€™t a fun experience seeing...
  12. AFe CAI for diesel JL

    Itā€™s kinda crazy that this engine option has been available for 18 months and there still arenā€™t any intake options. First to market gets my money. Who wants it?
  13. Is the Jeep 392 to loud?

    Trick question. Itā€™s impossible for that glorious motor to be too loud under any circumstance. But really, itā€™s pretty normal for any bi-mode exhaust to open flaps and be really loud in any performance engine. Corvettes, Jags, Ferrari, SRT/Hellcat, etc. Just part of the cost of performance...
  14. Hotheads For Sky One Touch

    I installed mine about a month ago and weā€™ve had a few 100Ā° days now. No issues at all and noticeable improvements in heat and sound. All good so far!
  15. Would you buy another 3.0L EcoDiesel? Why? Why not?

    Iā€™d have a bit tougher time now choosing between diesel and 392, but I absolutely love the diesel. I take it to the mountains quite often and itā€™s as good at 10k feet highway or offroad as it is at sea level. Effortless power for any situation. A lot of people complain about def but I donā€™t know...
  16. No doors/roof in summer

    Bikini top and no doors on my TJ or sky one touch and doors on, windows down when I want more flexibility with the JL. Enjoying this AZ heatā€¦ for now.
  17. 31,000 miles in a year and no issues!

    Axles are D44 front and rear on the diesel no matter the trim.
  18. Your favorite mod under $200

    Cooler and a 6 pack for when I reach my destination.
  19. Anyone towing with their Diesel?

    How is that drive? I live in Scottsdale and have been taking a hard look at moving to or trying to split time in Whitefish/Kalispell. To keep it on topic, Iā€™ve had temp issues in summer on the big, steady grade on 17 just south of Mundā€™s Park. You had no issues there towing a trailer? What was...
  20. Arizona dealers!

    Anyone recommend a particular dealership for service? I bought my Jeep in Idaho and itā€™s time for its first oil change. Iā€™m located near old town Scottsdale. Iā€™m really close to the dealership at Indian School and 101, but they were by far the salesiest of the several dealerships I visited...
