Love to see this has come back around!! I'm happy with the 2nd in the overall championship that I got last time so I'll let y'all have the fun this time around.

I've taken several long (up to 2k mile) trips in my JLR with a soft top and half doors with no issues. My daily commute is roughly 30 miles each way, mostly highway. It's not a Bentley by any stretch but the myth of a 2dr Jeep being unmanageable is overblown.

JKS and Fox are part of the same company

There are a ton of dynamics and variables in play when determining a vehicle's tow rating. Powertrain, cooling, braking, wheelbase, etc. It's an evaluation of the system as a whole. The Gladiator's longer wheelbase is a massive plus in helping it tow 7500 pounds. So, while the axle isn't a...

Liveable? Meh. You get used to it, kinda. Anyone that tells you that there's no change, at all, in going 35s or larger, even with 4.10s, is either lying to you or themselves. It's not completely miserable but I'm not a fan of the loss in performance.

3.6/auto. 4.88s would give a little headspace in the gearing department if I decided to go up to 37s somewhere down the road.

I'm still waiting on my front gears from Quadratec 🫠. I can only assume that Jeep is getting first dibs on 4.56s for the XR package but I don't know how they're splitting up the rest of the supply. I just know that I've been on the backlog for over a year now. At this point, I'm seriously...

The new grille wouldn't even be that awful if they hadn't done the completely unnecessary whatever the hell it was they did around/under the headlights.

It is.... The top of the factory half door is a great armrest in and of itself

I've reached out to Bestop and they told me they haven't had time to develop more 2dr soft tops for the JL tho they have an insane number of offering for the 4dr 🙄. I currently have a TrekTop but would love a version that fully retracts. They have one for the JK but not the JL. I'd also consider...

I'm also in the market for a fully featured kit with a minimal lift. I'm leaning hard towards the 1.5" Clayton Overland setup for my 2dr Rubicon myself.

It's always all good. I love the banter that's gone on in this thread about everyone's Jeeps new and old.

They've been great. I have zero complaints about finish or durability with them.

Listed under the description of EC1 on page 11 in the Rubicon section of the 2dr PDF. Literally called the 2dr Rubicon 35" Tire Package...

So, the only way to get factory 35s and 4.56s on the 2dr Rubicon is to get the 2.0L? Nice that you can get the 4.88s with the V6 regardless of transmission. Crazy that the V6 auto is a $2k upgrade over the 2.0L now. I'm pretty much forced into the Rubicon X because I won't own the plain plastic...

If you can find a private buyer that likes the mods you've done perhaps you can get a small fraction of their value back. A dealership isn't going to give you much, if anything, and if it's heavily modded may even knock it down some. Personally, if I'm buying used, I won't buy an obviously...

The JK was the best and worst thing Jeep could have done for the Wrangler, IMHO. Clearly, it was a sales success. The JK was now a "less compromised" option, especially with the addition of the 4 door, and that attracted many who would have never considered a Wrangler before. There's not much of...

I hand any ducks that I receive off to my kids to give away to other Jeeps. I don't believe that they're meant to be collected. The only one that lives full time on my dash is the little alien I picked up while in Roswell as a souvenir from a great road trip.

This is the most important question

Congrats to @JLR_AEV !!! Well deserved. This was a ton of fun to be a part of. Thanks @Opus for organizing all this.
