  1. Mopar Roof Rack Mods (security, paint protection, + whistling SOLVED)

    I got wild with InkScape. These look a little jagged but seemed to lay in pretty nice and look pretty good. Jeep logos: https://design.cricut.com/landing/project-detail/61be74b5d63d30c0dde1fafe Will update this post when I have something for the cross bar stickers.
  2. Mopar Roof Rack Mods (security, paint protection, + whistling SOLVED)

    It looks like the CriCut files and vector files are not working now. paulr Is there any chance you could re-upload? I'm trying to learn to use a borrowed CriCut Maker, but the Jeep Logo Vectors I am finding online don't match close enough to the roof rack in the widths / scaling of the "e" and...
  3. rear brake pads dead @ 7k miles

    On my corolla i had the same issue, no bld on that. It was that they missed greasing one of the caliper pins on assembly. May be something to look at as well. If thats it the dealer should have no problem givingn you new pads and possibly a rotor.
  4. Terrible at shifting into 4L, it’s embarrassing.

    One trick I have is to get my elbow really low, like almost by the seat belt buckle. It sounds like it would make it awkward, but makes it so all of your force is going in the correct direction. Works for me everytime.
  5. Terrible Clutch on Brand New JLUR Has Me Really Frustrated

    I have gotten used to the clutch pretty well, i just wish they did a better job with the gates on the transmission. The 2-3 up or 5-4 down feel bad. Not too much worse than the oft maligned trans in my my corolla that Ive had since new ever felt. That car eventually broke in nicely, but took...
  6. Would I be better off with a hardtop?

    Test drive a couple hard tops at the local dealer. I just got mine with the dual tops but am disappointed in the hardtop because it has a really noticeable buffetting sound above 30mph. After doing some research, Im not an anomaly, but I dont know if im a majority either. There are some fixes...
  7. That 6MT transmission: I really like it!

    I like the 6spd better than the autos. Driving it 700 miles so far, the clutch is LIGHT. Makes my corolla 6spd feel like a v8 with how heavy (sarcasm) the no assist clutch is. Despite that, it isnt numb so it is very drive-able and enjoyable. The hill start assist is better than most ive...
  8. question for the manual guys

    The manual has a chart on page 304, it says that when accelerating you should shift to 6th at 70 and 5th at 65 (cruise speeds and downshifts are lower) so i think the OP is shifting how jeep intended, and not using 5th and 6th very often unless going over 60. A rubicon should be happier...
  9. Stock Jeep Support Group

    Focus on what you will do when you get where the jeep takes you. Thats what i do, but Ive daily driven a corolla for the past 6 years, so maybe I cant relate as much. I also have a 34 ford 5 window as a project car, so maybe just get a project car to blow wads of cash on.
  10. Who else daily drives a beater??

    I daily drive a 15 corolla, not a beater yet but Ive had it since new and my butt has put 96k miles in the drivers seat. Will still be my monday-thursday 26mile each way drive to work car. When the JL arrives in the next week or two it will only go fun places or up the dirt roads and trails...
  11. JL/JLU/JT Seat Slammers - Big and Tall Front Seat Drop (Desert Does It)

    I'm lucky enough to work at company with CNC shop so I will be making my own when my JLUR arrives a few weeks. I didn't think about the added material making that connection point stronger which is a good point and idea. Another concern I have with the Aluminum depends on the construction...
  12. Need help on lift install

    That’s what should happen. The front differential is offset to the drivers side so it wont lift the passengers side. Try jacking the frame on the passenger side once you have the driver on stands.
  13. JL Window Sticker and Build Sheet Order Tracking

  14. Anyone have buyer's remorse for ordering the 3.6 instead of the 2.0 Turbo.

    I think they are both really good motors. I don't think you should generate any regrets either way. I ordered the 3.6 because I wanted a manual transmission so I didn't have to choose. However, I think I would be just as happy with a 2.0.
  15. Off-roading with a manual transmission?

    The way I worded it made it sound like I thought the transmission was slow, but the ZF8 is a fast shifting transmission. I just thought the whole process waiting for a downshift due to the lack of any poop until after the shift made the process feel slow. The gas engines need to spin to pass...
  16. Off-roading with a manual transmission?

    In test driving, I found the automatic to be scary. I have heard people rave about the programming, but with the relatively low cruising torque of the 2.0 and 3.6 (wasn't interested in a diesel so I didn't drive it), the shifting for a pass felt SLOW. Coming from an older 4runner with a V8...
  17. Do you prefer a black or body coloured hardtop?

    I like both, but went dual top with a black roof so that if I decide to run a softie full time, then I can sell the black top to a larger group of potential buyers. Color tops are only going to really sell to people with the same color or a complimentary color.
