hey all! can someone please help me? how can i check the tire pressure? i had to work, so couldn't drive as much but when i did, idk something seemed off. i couldn't get her straight, and needed a lot steer correction. maybe its me, bc this is my first jeep? not sure :/ :facepalm:
If it was windy the day you were driving, it would explain at least some of what your describing - you will get used to the wind...except for the REAL windy days.

Go to Autozone or basically any parts store, ask to buy an air guage, ask them to show you how to check them.

Also, check tire pressures when they are cold - best is before driving for the day.

You could probably find something similar at a Target or Walmart or Auto Supply Store.
The sticker on your driver side door should have the correct PSI for you tires listed.
Isn’t the Jeep’s TPMS working? ( Tire Pressure Management System )
When releasing air from a tire, you do need something like this to immediately see what your pressure is.
I am just surprised to see people driving around for a week or so after taking delivery, to suddenly discover their wheels are over inflated ( for shipping purposes )
Me, every time I get in, “gas . . . Check, tire pressure . . . Check. Ok, good to go. “

Tonight's news FCA announced that next year 2019 you will be able
to rent a Jeep for 30 days at a time. Is this that BIG news that was
so very important ? Sounds like a short lease.

Rent for 30 days - hell you better sign up 7 months in advance to make sure they will have one built. ;)

Breaking news - we can't deliver what folks pre-ordered, but we will totally be able to handle short term leases...

My dealer emailed me today to let me know my Jeep is built. I don’t believe him. I’m still in D1. I’m not even excited a little bit. Jeep Chat confirmed D1 but said dealerships have more resources on updates??? I guess I’ll wait and see. :facepalm:
Call Jeep again, they are slow to update. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Even though it started pouring in the middle of our off roading trip, we still had a blast and conquered some pretty amazing trails!

Lisa, would 32 inch tires be sufficient for that trail y'all are on?

I called my sales guy today and he said my Jeep should be delivered this month. My ship date was 29 May. I put my VIN in cryptostickers and a build sheet was found that says Status D1 To D1 Forward. No window sticker found. 'm not sure what that means...

Just wanted to let you know t
Your picture motivated me to call FCA for the first time this morning and after 15 mins on the phone they confirmed that my jeep was built and being shipped out tomorrow and will be at my dealer 6-18. Thanks for the inspiration.
I called after I saw this. Was told KZ..even had a railcar date. Immediately went to Jeep chat, was told D1 and not sure iwhy i was told KZ. I recommend a second opinion
