MOAB Edition JL Club Thread

Was the CHMSL relocate necessary or cosmetic? I thought you could fit a 35 on there if you adjust the light all the way up. Looks awesome though!

When I moved to 35" on my Rubi... the third-brake light bracket pushed against the hardtop window wiper. I didn't like that. If you have a soft top, it's a non-issue. A positive by-product of moving the light is better visibility. Don't spend the money for OEM... get this one. It's rock solid and great quality. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JKBPYZP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I guess it depends how loud you are looking for; and that varies per person. I was looking for a nice constant hum with a little bit of a growl on acceleration. The Touring is perfect for that. Not so loud that the neighborhood hears you as you drive by, but enough that you hear it more then stock. I actually first got the Borla S-Type, drove around with it for 2 weeks and realized it was WAY too loud for me. At points it seemed like the car was struggling it was so loud. Maybe on a sports car that would sound great, but for me, not on a Jeep. I switched to the Touring and I've been very happy w/ it. It's hard to hear the sounds online; I had watched the YouTube video of all 3 Borlas, Touring, S-Type and Atak, and thought I originally chose the right one. They are all a little louder then the video makes them out to be in my opinion.

I'm really torn. I love the look of the Borla twin pipes, but I really like the sound of the stock exhaust on my 3.6. In fact I've been very pleased with the 3.6 exhaust notes on my previous 3 vehicles, but they all had dual pipes from the factory and I'm a huge fan of that look.

Thanks for the clarification

Car before was an F80 M3 no cats and Akra exhaust so I was used to "loud"

Makes sense that its a Jeep and should be more on the conservative side

Thanks again, you summed it up pretty well

Lol I won’t be doing much off-roading. It’s my daily commuter. Will be driving it on the beach in the summer once and awhile and in the snow. My buddy owns a repair shop so I got the rims and tires at his cost!

Hello everyone. Long time lurker and this is my 2nd post. New member here from Fayetteville, NC. We just bought our first Jeep and we could not have been more happier and excited to drive our beast home. We purchased a Black & Tan JLU MOAB. Happy to be part of the community. No photos yet. Crummy weather lately. I also would like to thank everyone who shared their experiences on purchasing their Jeeps. I think we got a hell of a deal on ours.

We do have a question though. We noticed last night when installing our child's car seat that we did not have the 2 cup holders directly behind the center hand rest. Obviously the cup holders built into the middle seat is there but... I know this may seem minor but believe it or not, cup holders for our back seat passengers is a huge convenience for our growing family. Do other MOAB owners have their cup holders in the back of their MOABs? Our MOAB will basically be used primarily as our minivan equivalent/mall crawler/family vehicle.

What's a "bubby" and can he get other MOAB owners wheels and tires at his cost??

If said Moab owner was in NJ maybe!!!

Noticed the same thing on my Moab which I picked up on Mar 8th. I'm wondering if the rear cupholders shown at the lower back area of the center console are for the 2-Dr's only as I don't believe they have the 60/40 split rear seat with the center arm rest.

The Sahara's with a 60/40 split back seat do. When we went to the dealership to purchase a Fully loaded Sahara, we noticed that the MOAB was only 3K more. We went home with the MOAB. However, in our excitement, we did not notice at the time that the cup holders were missing, or bother to ask if that is how the MOABs were configured. I am just assuming they would have them as they are based on the Sahara's interior.
