Good advice. Iāve got a Sport S with Rubi take off wheels and tires. 2.0 T engine And limited slip. It is FAR more capable than my old TJās and sets nicely. Iād bet the tires on the one you drove were overinflated by 6-10 lbs. that alone will make the steering wonky. The good news on...
Sadly that was what the Rubicn was initially meant to be, a barebones, go anywhere vehicle. Unfortunately it quickly morphed into the ultimate mall crawler and folks who actually use their a portion of their capability are a small percentage of Rubi ownersā¦š
As an old geezer I remember when 33ās were BIG tiresš³. Todayās stock āsmallā tires are taller than the Rubicon tires of a few years ago. As noted a decent set of 33ās will make the Jeep more capable than the driver in a lot of casesš
Routinely drive my JL on the slab and itās quite comfy running with traffic in the 75-80 range. Have hit 90 a few times BUT thatās not what a Wrangler was designed/built for. If I wanted a fast vehicle Iād be in something other than a Jeepš
I see folks with the 4drs and if thatās what floats their boat thatās fine. Me, a 2dr Jeep is the only one Iād want. I love the ability to make tight turns, etc. just me, wife, and dog though so a 2dr with the back seat out works great for us. One thing for sure, the 4 dr has sure increased...
Iām amazed that somebody talked about 21 production running into December. Back āin the dayā as noted July 4 week was changeover and theyād get ready for next years model to be on the lot in a couple months.,
Many moons ago I bought a new TJ Sahara with dual tops and the mounted soft top fit (folded) inside the mounted hard top. Iād check to see if thatās an option. If so make the dealer install prior to your arrival
As noted, lower tire pressure will help, but a short wheelbase, solid axle truck with big heavy tires is NOT going to ride smoothly. Nature of the beast.
Tough review by someone whoās obviously NOT a Jeep personš. Still, at least for MY use, Iād have to agree Somewhat. Seems like a solution in search of a problem. Give it say, 100 mile electric range and get it where hybrid drive is at least as fuel efficient as a plain 2.0 T and it would...
What he said. Bears, even blackies, are very powerful animals and I donāt think a Jeep hardtop would hold up long. Keep the food and āfood smelling clothes in sealed bear proof (resistive?) containers. Bring a bottle of ammonia and generously spread it on/around the containers. The...
Is this your first Jeep experience? They are a tad āroughā compared to the typical car or SUV. Short wheelbase, stiff, āoff roadā tires, etc. if no noise or truly weird stuff Iād drive it a while. I suspect itās normalā¦
The home of socialism and āsave the worldā emissions requirements along with outrageous fuel costs. āCourse the countries are small and driving across an Entire country is easier than driving across Montanaš
Drove 379 miles today up I-65 to US 31 north at Indianapolis to US 20 east to Elkhart Indiana. My JL got an actual (hand calculated)27.3 mpg. VERY satisfied!
I personally love the 2dr. Iāve had a few. No 4dr Jeep for me, Iād go elsewhere. With that said, why in the world didnāt they put the 2.2 diesel in āem. Easily be 30+ mpg ( likely closer to 35). THAT Iād buy tomorrow in a JLš
