2020 JL & JLU Willys Edition

[future ocean blue]

I would look into getting a 2dr if it had 1/2 doors. Just love that look for some reason. And in Ocean Blue. Doubt they come out with half doors before 2022 model year

Someone should tell him it’s pronounced like “Willis.” It doesn’t have an apostrophe like Willy’s. Maybe it’s just me but it drives me crazy.

Me too!

It’d be cool if they made the rear locker an option like the Jk had.

Limited slip is cool until your clutch packs start disintegrating..

I like it.

Oo, those look like graphite colored rubicon style wheels on the freedom edition. Nice.

Did that happen to you?

Did that happen to you?

Yeah. So much that the spider gears started to have a little play. Anytime I would let it roll back from a stop and then load the gears when I started moving forward I had a very loud audible clunk. The clutch packs job besides being limited slip is adding tension between the side spider gears and everything. Once they wear down it becomes an issue.

It was a very common issue with the JK lsd. Tons of forum threads about it.

So I put an arb in to solve the problem.

How many miles before it acted up? And how much off-roading? Thanks.

 

[intentsrig]

Around 15k. Lots of off roading lol. And big heavy tires probably don’t help.

Painted exhaust tip! You can see it on the video. Hopefully they painted the muffler to

Don't sweat it. My YJ's limited slip lasted 130k miles and was still going strong when I sold it. I ran 33's but didn't do launches like that, though. I used it when needed. The JL will also have traction control, which will take some of the work off the limited slip in the winter. Another thing I did was to change the diff fluid every 20 to 25k. I ran Mobil 1 75w140 in it. If you don't abuse it, it will last. If it doesn't, it isn't horribly expensive to fix.

Wow, now I feel cheated on my Moab! I want a black exhaust!!! I know I could buy one or paint it, but I shouldn't have to!

Of course I wouldn't want just the tip, I'd want the whole thing
