Hello From JeepCares

[DanW]

@JeepCares do you know the Mopar part # for the oil filter for the JL's updated 3.6? Is it the same as the gen 1 3.6? The owner's manual or user guide doesn't say anything other than to use a Mopar equivalent.

Seriously?

There are hundreds of thousands of armchair quarterbacks out there giving there opinions.
Most have no ideal what they are talking about and just want to post stuff for a reaction.
Who gives a darn what someone else thinks or cares.
It’s your jeep, get the one you like and everyone else can go and pound sand!

To make my point.
Here is a photo of my TJ, I get clown comments all the time regarding all of my lights, in this photo one of my front lights got broken off while blazing the trail that had been overgrown and not driven on for many of years.
I laugh at all of these comment about my lights. Why? In 2017 I did 80 days off road camping, yes, you read that number correctly, 80 days, I spent $17,000 in repairs and $12,000 in repairs in 2016 to this jeep. So any one who clowns my lights has not spent half the time I do off road to understand why someone would spend the money for this amount of lights. Why have all of these lights? Just try setting up camp in the dark or get stuck at night on a really difficult trail with dangerous obstacles that you need to overcome to get to where you plan on camping.

Anyone who says they spent as many days a year off road camping as I do will need to prove it with their calendar showing they actually spent this many days off road.
I have already done 14 days so far for 2018. I’m not saying I’m better than anyone else, just that I have spent a large number of days and nights off road camping to learn a few things and I’m sure there are hundreds of things I still need to learn.


Don’t let an armchair quarterback make your decision on something you want and in most cases they can’t even afford to buy!

A lot to like about the setup of your rig and your offroad camping lifestyle - envious. Man, I can't quite wrap my head around the repair budget required to support it, however. I need to grow an appreciation for my wrangler as a tool, rather than a (pending) expensive DD, I guess!

Pretty sure it was a tongue in cheek, sarcastic reply meant to add a bit of fun. And btw, yes, you do have a ridiculous amount of lights on your Jeep. Sounds like you use them, but ridiculous none the less.

Mopar part #’s for the steel tube doors?

 

[ThirtyOne]

I am having a hard time telling which comments are serious and which ones are tongue in cheek.

Was the guy asking JeepCares to tell people to be nice serious?

Also are the lights on that TJ photoshopped or real?

Lol that funny!
These folks don’t count!

They are real, here is a photo of my jeep without the rack from a few weeks ago. It won’t fit in my garage with the rack on, so I only put the top part on when we go camping.
The lights are a result of me being stuck at night either trying to set up camp or having to travel through rough obstacles. When I did these lights LEDs had just came out. My JLUR that is on order will end up with Baja design lights all the way around.

Thanks!
I had to do a dual battery set up because when I turned them all on it would clip the battery.

On the JLUR I have ordered I’ll be doing similar set up but with Baja design.
I did this light set up 5 years ago, it has saved me a lot of headaches over the years.
I can tell you this, if your in front of me at night on the trail and I hit the lights your not going to be happy being in front! Lol

If you are able to forward suggestions to the powers that be, I have a one.

Jeep management and Jeeps Customer Relations Communication teams should host a couple of focus group with die hard Jeep fans from forums to better understand what prospective buyers and buyers in the production pipeline need in the way of enhanced communication. I think Jeep's current customer relations communication model is inadequate.

Do we as buyers have a right to know more about production issues in a more timely fashion? No. However....

The Jeep brand is unique in how loyal it's fanatical customers are. Most of today's customers are a lot more savvy than we are given credit for. It isn't that Jeep is doing anything different from any other car company. It's just that Jeep could entrench itself in an even more powerful way.

If we, as habitual Jeep owners, are resourceful enough to customize our Jeeps and smart enough to afford a $50k automobile, many of us are intelligent enough to see some production backlog dashboards and dynamic timeline gannt charts that show our vehicles traveling through production.
Jeep could and should let us know why an individual vehicle is stalled in the manufacturing process with individualized notations on our own dashboard.
Even less obsessive buyers appreciate updates to the timeline.

On the left side of the steering wheel, push the up arrow to cycle through the various screens on your dash - not the uconnect System. When you get to an image of the drivetrain, push the arrow to the right. You'll see the pitch and roll levels with images of the Jeep.

That isn't the actual offroad pages. There's a page that's missing on a lot of JL's - it shows up on the stereo display.

Supposed to be fixed with a Uconnect update in the future.

I saw this topic was already posted but did not see a reply yet - do you know when the premium tan soft top will be in the the dealer's ordering system? It is currently available when you build a JL on Jeep.com but you can not place an order for it at a dealer. Only option holding me up on placing an order. Appreciate any information you can provide.
