  1. Best products and processes to protect brand new JL?

    Mine came with the mopar floor mats and those have been great, would recommend. Same for door sills, added early and definitely help reduce scuffs/as many gribblies getting in. Neoprene seat protectors have been worthwhile if you're a giant baby like me and spill food/drinks frequently. Also...
  2. Electric Wrangler confirmed

    i came here expecting new info, more the fool me bc almost all i see is whining, stale misinformation, and extrapolated anecdotes. really disappointing, thought this was one of the more thoughtful and reasonable forums. i ran out of gas at the pump a couple summers ago. as in the pump had no...
  3. Towing with my 2018 Wrangler JL.

    It's an R-pod by Forest River! Could hardly be happier with it, did a lot of reviews and research and felt like just the right fit.
  4. Towing with my 2018 Wrangler JL.

    Seconding everything from Heimkehr and Stetson. My wife and I bought a ~2700lb trailer this spring, and have taken it on about half a dozen trips since then, including one through upstate NY & the Adirondacks. That trip started and ended in DE & MD, at least 1500 miles in between, and did...
  5. K&N air filter for 2.0L turbo

    Same here, been running one for last ~40k miles, basically two years. Just cleaned it again at 50k or so. No issues whatsoever, if anything it seems to run a little smoother (but within the margin of placebo effect 😜).
  6. Looking at buying 2018 JL with 2.0L Turbo

    Have a 2019 2.0L with the 4 door. Just took it to the dealer, literally yesterday, for 60k service @ ~62k mi. Brake & transfer case fluids needed changing, they said transmission fluid could use it too but I'm gonna read the thread here on how to do that instead of paying their pricing. To be...
  7. Should You Buy a 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4Xe? Thorough Review By a Mechanic

    This is correct. Just changed the oil at 60k on my '19 2.0L. The battery is something like a 0.17kWh system, separate cooling system as someone mentioned, and is located in that somewhat weird spot on the underside. It's pretty well protected though, and I've had no issues with it. It's also...
  8. 87, 89, or 93 Octane for 2.0L Turbo?

    been doing 91/93 since i got my '19. notice a bit of a drop in mpg with lower octane when I have occasionally used it, more so in winter. just want the engine to last a long time, and squeeze every mpg i can out of 'the brick.' i also throw some fuel injector cleaner in there every 4-6 months or...
  9. Experience pulling a Casita

    Wife and I just bought a ~2700 lb (dry) R-pod this spring. Previous owners threw in a Curt WDH & sway bar, haven't checked the exact model # on it (pretty rusty but not looking a gift hitch in the mouth), but it looks exactly like this one. Once connected, I can literally see the rear end of the...
  10. Adding Brake controller to 2018 JLUR

    I wired in a Curt controller to my '19 JLU this spring. No tow package, just a Sport S. The toughest part was ID'ing the brake controller signal wire. Had to search through these forums and it seems most give up before completing it, or paying a professional. This was the one that helped me...
  11. Cascadia 4x4 VSS System

    Haven't done this exactly, the MPPT charge controller that Cascadia (optionally) supplies with the VSS has ACC leads built in. Presumably you could bus or otherwise connect those to your fridge power. Cascadia says about those ACC connections in this install manual (the one I used for my 85W JL...
  12. Antigravity LiFePo Battery - Real Life Experience?

    All certainly reasonable points. The AG LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery chemistry will be a lot more stable over long periods of disuse than the AGM, so for your case that would be a plus. Ideally for longevity, it'd be stored below full charge in that case, i.e. ~85% of whatever the Ah...
  13. Antigravity LiFePo Battery - Real Life Experience?

    I found my 80 Ah AG battery on eBay for something like $900 (plus taxes). They sell out quickly, and occasionally if you Add to Cart the seller will offer a discount. But unless you need the amp-hours, you can probably save a bit by going with the 40 or 60 Ah instead of 80. I wanted the 80 for a...
  14. 4 Cyl Oil Pressure?

    This is normal for the Hurricane as other posters have mentioned. I have the non-4xe 2.0L and I have OCD so I watch my diagnostics closely, and have for the last 3 years of owning it. 16-22 on the low end and either 42-46 or 47-51 completely normal ranges I've seen during regular operation. The...
  15. Nominal oil pressures on 2.0T

    My experience over the last 3 years, 17-21 & 47-52 are the typical ranges. It does not seem to like spending any time in the 20's & 30's, and I'll often adjust throttle to 'help' it pick which range it wants to be in. Sometimes it seems to be fine in low/mid 40's. All that to say, I would not be...
  16. Antigravity LiFePo Battery - Real Life Experience?

    Temps dropping here in mid-Atlantic...once they're below freezing at night for a solid week, I plan to swap back in the OEM gas-mat that's been sitting in the garage and getting a periodic trickle. Until then... Antigravity has been great! Consistent 13.5-14.3V per the dashboard indicator...
  17. What is JLU's actual fuel tank capacity?

    Yes, frequently when I fill up, my range is ~450-490. Sometimes when the weather's been just right and I drive like a granny, then top off, the fuel calculator puts me just over 500. Haven't seen that in a while though, probably because I've attached and packed in too much $&%# that the...
  18. ESS Not Ready/Cabin Heating or Cooling

    I'm not sure what counts as 'Low,' but I rarely run the actual A/C unless going 45+ MPH. That said, I do almost always have the air/blowers on between '10 o'clock' and 'noon' on the physical dial, so probably in the Low-Med range. Temp still set at the 'coldest' it'll go without automatically...
  19. Solution - Controlling High Watt Inverter using Factory Aux Switches

    where's the inverter going? i imagine 200W isn't too large, but i've held off on installing the 1000W renogy i picked up bc the under-seat install is not...feasible, let's say.
  20. Antigravity LiFePo Battery - Real Life Experience?

    Chiming in here to stay in the thread & keep it going as roanie suggested. Installed the H7 80Ah around the end of April this year. Mid-Atlantic summer temps and some longer road trips (400+ miles, 150+ miles at a time) have had no troubles so far. Does seem to relieve some weight v. OEM...
