Quick update: I picked up the new Jeep yesterday. Tires were set at 38 PSI. It runs and drives smooth with no really noticeable wandering/drifting at all. Love it.
I'll play a little with pressure and check the torque on all the driving bits over the next week, but am glad to report that...
This relieved lots of stress.
I really need for it to get here so that I'm spending less time reading horror stories and more time out getting to know my Jeep! :)
Yes, I can re-torque those. Thanks for that tip.
And yes, this is my first Wrangler. I've had a couple of older Wagoneers, but no Wranglers. I'll spend some time just driving around getting used to the feel of the solid axle (I've heard this is a bit different).
Thanks again!
I'm expecting my JL Sport to arrive any day. I've been reading tons of posts about steering wander and wobble - should I expect this on mine? If so, what should I do to prevent it?
Mine will be here any day. I'm not broke, so I must be a cheapskate - just added a hard top. Everything else is standard (manual trans, cloth seats, manual windows/locks, etc), or no-cost option (like I'm not getting tint on the windows).
Now I know what my tag will say: CHPSK8
I have another car with Car Play and I don't use it at all (sign of my age?). But, yeah, things like hands-free calls, map directions, etc. I know would be lost without the screen. I'm mainly wondering if I will disable something critical (and I consider AC critical - Mississippi!).
My Jeep will be here soon ("Anticipay-yaay-shun..."). I ordered it with the lowest radio option (5" touchscreen). Other than the rearview camera, is there anything that I NEED the stock radio for? If I were to replace the sound system with a non-screen version, am I breaking anything?
Just curious - how often is too often to ask for updates on Jeep chat? I'm not getting any info from my dealer. Do I just need to settle down and wait?
