I could never understand this myself, then again a lot of things I read on here I just shake my head and laugh. Don't get me wrong there is a lot of good info on this forum.

Thanks man! That’s my 42 GPW, I finished the restoration on it two years ago It was a dream of mine since I was a child to have a real WWII Jeep. I drive it as much as time allows me to. My two year old son is obsessed with it and all Jeeps. lol shocker right? I made friends with people from all...

It’s good to see this thread I’ll be watching to see how it progresses. I am still up in the air on building another TJ this time an Unlimited or just biting the bullet and dropping 47K on a new JL.

I second the Baja Designs Squadron series. I work night shift and use them on an excavator. We do heavy civil underground electric work in Philadelphia. They get punished by a hydo hammer for at least 2 hrs every night hammering out 12 inch concrete road base and see about 50-70 hours of run...

Haha. Yea I see how that is misinterpreted. The front and rear spacers are both 1.5 inches but the front is IFS strut so it gives close to 3 inches because of the 1:2 ratio.

This is a debatable question. In my situation the original spring was retained and a 3, & 1.5 spacer was installed, so there was no change to the original spring rates just an increase ride height which in turn will increase body roll and yaw in hard cornering. So I guess you can say it changes...

No, the lift wouldn’t change a thing. Upping the tire size from 31 to 33. Meh, 2 mph slower reading on the clock at that speed. Just fooled the traction control into thinking the vehicle is going into a skid. Road speed plus steering angle plus the vehicle drifting across the road when it does...

It has nothing to do with the differentials in the rear. It’s the traction control. One of the sensors or modules are bad. I don’t have the patience to read through 23 pages of banter to find out what they replaced.

You guys are 100% correct. This is a software error. If it were a mechanical error the would be physical damage to components. When he shifted on the fly it caused a bit of wheel spin when the front differential engaged, traction control threw a fit locked up the brakes and unfortunately threw...

I was doing a little internet surfing this morning and came across this article. You might not be the only person with rear axle lockup. This was just from an article I read but apparently there is a thread on the gladiator forum about this particular persons incident. Gladiatrix is the user...

Short answer, do you? No. Should you? Yes. I never lift anything without upgrading the front track bar and replacing the steering stabilizer. Even on a spacer lift. This is the reason people have so much problems with bump steer. It won’t happen right away but your front end will slowly degrade...

I guess we will start with my opinions on lift and tires and go from there. I spent a couple days researching lifts for the JL's. There are so many manufactures these days it's much different than when I built my 03 Rubicon back in 2005. And even before that when I was a teenager in the 90's it...

What kind of info were you trying to gather from the build thread? I have a few ideas in mind for my build if you want me to share them. I hadn’t started a thread because I figured most people wouldn’t have much interest in a base model build. I’m just trying to keep it simple, everything I...

The sport does NOT have the HD brakes when you get the diesel with upgraded axles. Only the Willys, at least that is how it is layed out with the builder on Jeeps website. If you do a side by side comparison you can see all the options outlined.

You have the right idea. I have built out a few jeeps over the years one of them being a Rubi. I plan on purchasing a JLU Willys Sport trim with the diesel in the spring. Reason being you get the Diesel with D44 axles F&R, limited slip in the rear, HD brakes, rocker slides & off road tires. For...

Well it's good to know you have a technical background. I always feel bad for the people that are at the mercy of the dealers. But the whole point of buying the new vehicle is so that you don't have problems, Right? The Toyota isn't a bad vehicle I just had a bunch of problems that needed to be...

In all seriousness thought, that sucks. I don’t currently own a JL but have had about a dozen Jeeps over the years and wrenched all of my own junk. I’ve been lurking here because I want to buy a new JL. If you already haven’t checked the fuses might be worth taking a look at. I see a lot of...

Want a Toyota? Here’s what mine does when you hit a bump. Only if it’s below 30° though.

I located a grill.
