Been traveling all day. Let’s see what my JLWrangetForums friends have been discussing in my absence

Just the typical mocking of people making ludicrous claims. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.

I gotta say: @yokramer and @Remorseless were right about the turbo. It sounds like shit, but it’s peppy as fuck. I live at 7,000 feet and the difference between it and the Pentastar is startling.

I tried the I4 in a 2021 Sahara I purchased for my wife who isn't heavy on cars, and it blew a head gasket in less than 15K miles. I sold that Jeep and currently have a Willys in production with the 6...glad it's a 2024..I agree that I really liked the peppyness of the I4...

If the four-banger turbo is such a great engine, how come it has never been an option on JT?, perhaps it's a "weak" engine? (flame suit on)

I have had turbos in the past, a couple VW passats with the 1.8T, they were great until I had to replace the turbo on one of them at 100K, the other one started having engine issues at around 120K-130K if I remember correctly.
Two years ago I had a JL turbo rental in Hawaii for a week, it was plenty peppy, engine sounded like complete sh*t, just as bad as most four banger turbos nowadays...
I have no interest in keeping long term vehicles with turbos. My JKUR '15 V6 auto has been perfectly adequate at high altitude mountainpasses: Imogene, black bear, engineer, california, ophir, etc to name a few, never felt I was underpowered especially since you are traveling at an extremely slow pace. I intend on keeping the JKUR for life, same as the '23JTR V6 auto I picked up last month (at 34% off sticker )

Where’s @Rhinebeck01 when you need him? These gifs are sophomoric and little girly, cutesy animations do nothing but waste bandwidth. I know, I know, I‘m a hypocrite AND a liar.

I heard he hooked up with one of the rich Azzuto girls and is living his best life in Japan. Laughing at all of us peasants on this forum.

Free turn signal extensions for life?!?

We all know the 3.6 just sucks.

Apparently I didn't get that memo, nor would it apply to me. I think my 2-dr 3.6/auto with 4.56 gearing is quite nice!

I even pm’d him to make sure he was ok, because that’s the kind of guy I am. Radio silence. I guess I’m off his Christmas card list this year

Or he is just radio silent until his next shipment of gas cap ice scrapers comes in

Mazda MX-5 (formerly known as Miata). Yup, that-thar is 181 raging hamster powers under the hood. But considering I'm WOT most of the time and still get over 30 MPG, I'd call it a win.

They were pretty obsessive about removing weight, and apparently the strange gearing allowed for a physically smaller and lighter differential. The bonus is less drivetrain loss in top gear... which I think actually makes a difference at higher speeds.

There are somewhat common transmission issues, rumored to possibly be related to the low first gear putting lots of stress on the case. I wonder if this is why the JL's manual has such a low torque rating also.

What is the torque rating on the trans itself? I know the clutch has had to have the 3.6 derated during certain scenarios, but thought the trans itself was stout enough.

I've been wondering the same and thinking he is / was pretty old

Nobody cares… get back to the “he said she said” shit…….

Old like he forgot his password, or old like lets raise a glass and reminisce?
