I just got news from my dealership that my 2021 2 doors Rubicon came in yesterday and I am planning to pick it up early next week. I know that many of you are veteran driver - do you have any advice on do and don't with a new Jeep while I am "breaking" it in?
Some wonderful fellow forum here advised that I should try not to drive above 50 mph on my new Jeep until I hit at least 500 miles.
Also - for Rubicon owner, I know that this is a weird question - but are there any advice on what to do (and what not to do) when I get my Rubicon.
I am planning to take a road trip from close to New York City to Bar Harbor in Maine next month - stopping along a few places, there should be approximate 20 hours of driving. Is it too early to be making such trip on a brand new Rubicon? I have been driving topless on my current Jeep and the experience has been exhilarating and I cannot wait to try it driving through some scenic route. If it is not advisable to take a new Jeep on a long road trip, I can always drive my CRV. I just want to make sure that I will not be breaking anything since I am planning to upgrade this Jeep with stuffs and planning to keep it for a long time.
I am planning to use a soft top so that I can somewhat go topless while driving my Jeep on a nice day, are there anything that I should be mindful of in using this soft top?
Any advice on doing road trip with soft top on? I know that I should not leave my items unattended but should I be aware of anything else? I have never travel long distance with a Jeep before.
Thank you so much for your advise. This forum has greatly helped me in configuring my new Jeep, along with all the cool stuff that a Jeep can do. I would not know what to do without you peeps here. I truly appreciate you.
