Lol. I don’t know what to say.

Jeep has thought of everything. In a pinch, scrape some magnesium shavings off the Jeep tailgate to help start a campfire.Good advice... I remember watching my high school chemistry teacher burn magnesium strips, and it was blinding! Imagine a whole tailgate full of it going up! Of course, I can't imagine they haven't though of this and tested it... perhaps it is alloyed with something that prevents it from igniting.
Yikes!There were some images of Porsche bodies burnt. They've been in the magnesium game for a while.
That seems crazy low - cary four large adults, thats 800 lbs right there. I can cary 90 lbs extra? thats basically a winch and nothing else.Payload ratings seem kind of low for the Unlimited Rubicon and Sahara at 892 and 890 lbs respectively.
I also wonder what makes the Sahara weigh more?
How do these numbers compare to the 2017 JKU numbers? (Edit: Found the numbers, they are unchanged from the 2017 JKU.)
The axles are rated for about 6,000 - but the vehicle only has a 5,000 gvwr. Maybe there is a legal reason to have the GVWR limited to 5,000 when it actually looks like it can carry 6,000.That seems crazy low - cary four large adults, thats 800 lbs right there.

Where did you read the lip was removable on the Rubion? I know Mopar has their fender which is "lipless" that you can get black or painted.Something I just noticed: the entire Sport fender is one piece. Meaning the surrounding “lip” is really just part of the whole fender, unlike that of the Rubicon’s which is a two piece and has a removable lip.
I'm glad the JL is assembled in Toledo. Mexicans gotta eat, too, though.Is anyone else concerned that the upgraded Pentastar is being built in Mexico?
Agree with both statements. I'd say the biggest risk to Jeep buyers would be if the tariff structure gets changed and raises the cost of importing them for final assembly.About the loss of American jobs to Mexico, Yes. From an engine reliability standpoint, No.
I believe they make a few of the Hellcat and SRT engines there.
I assumed it was because there is a visual seam, with bolts on the inner portion of the fender against the lip. Looking back at the Sport fenders, the same bolts remain. But there is a seam on the Rubicon that isn’t present on these.Where did you read the lip was removable on the Rubion?

It's removable on the JK rubicon, so it would be surprising if it isn't on the JL. It's a metal bumper with torx bolts holding on the ends of the bumper. It leaves you with the "stubby" bumper they show on the rubicon that doesn't cover the tires.Where did you read the lip was removable on the Rubion?

They're talking about fender/flares (don't want to get in the middle of that argument lol), not the bumper.It's removable on the JK rubicon, so it would be surprising if it isn't on the JL.
