Loving the Recons posted. Picked mine up about 2 months ago and just relocated for work... in the Mojave Desert. Great places for trails though.

Owning a Sahara is like living in Cleveland... Just kidding. I see it too. I just bought a JL Recon and because of how it looks, everyone assumes I never take it off road. It has the color matched top and fenders, 2” lift and 35’s. I keep it hella clean. It really surprises people to...

I actually tested this yesterday, Mosquito Pass, over 13,000 feet. The update seemed to work. Crossed the pass twice with no further issues.

X2 on the chalk test. with so many variations of tire size, rim width, etcetera... a chalk test will tell you where you need to be.

TPMS automatically resets, so you can rotate tires without reprogramming. Back in July, I had a flat in a rental Jeep on a long road trip and within 30 seconds After changing the tire, the TPMS system reset. Rented another Jeep two weeks ago (I hate rentals) while working out of towns and got...

They look great. Warn got the lines right. The Mopar have no mirror mounts... definitely on my springtime wish list.

@BDinTX - with Wranglers you are never alone. I'm chatting with my service rep today now that I have this info. This has to be the oddest thing I’ve heard as a problem, so situation specific. I’ve had a number of Jeeps over the years and always gotten fantastic support from the service...

When towing, you don’t want overdrive to engage regardless of gear range... Thats why trucks have a tow mode to disengage overdrive.

my high school Algebra Teacher was right, one day math will save the world. i loved the detail and the thought put into the OP. But I think it comes down to what you are trying to achieve. The original gearing equation is nominal. all three engines use either 3:73 or 4:10 (towing package)...

I would have said tucked away like a camel spider... too much time in the deserts of the Middle East... my understanding, all ESS Jeeps have secondary batteries (little ATV type). Manual transmissions wouldn’t have ESS and no secondary battery. I’m kinda torn on the ESS. I get the point...

First off, I’m glad I found this thread. It seems some 2.0 eTorque engines have this interesting little problem. I’ll be taking this information to the dealer. I had mine looked at Friday after having this same problem at over 10,000, in 4 low, uphill... Twice In a weekend. I thought it was...

You buy it to wheel it. I drove off the showroom floor and into the mountains, up mosquito pass (13,185 ft).

Don’t take advice from me, you’ll end up drunk and naked in a park somewhere across town.

Odd question... where’s this picture taken?

I love those rims...

Drive to top of Mountain, reset economy... and then coast over 30 miles downhill. Voila! It felt great until I touched the gas pedal...

Agreed

when I’m feeling bummed about my MPG, I drive to the top of Mt Evans (14,200ft) and coast downhill to Denver... in my 2016 I had that puppy up to 150 MPG for about 10 minutes... I’ll have to see if I still have a picture of that.

I went from a 2016 2.6 manual to a 2020 2.0 automatic. i rented a 2019 2.6 automatic for a couple weeks between the two. I have to admit that Im sold on the 2.0. Even on the trails it performs well and gets great MPG. It’s a solid drivetrain IMHO. Test drive ‘em and see which you prefer...

My 2016 needed to be rebuilt (2.6L Penstar valve issue) and I never noticed a thing after it was done. Dealers are no longer like they used to be. I’d get a new engine and keep loving the Jeep.
