The Non-Rubicon Jl & JLU Thread

[stil2low]

Everyone like the stop start feature? well I hate it so I noticed when driving in manual mode it does not shut down on a stop. I have been driving around for months usually in manual mode and turning the feature off, no need to anymore! great.

Doesn’t even bother me the ESS, but I also run 35’s on stock gearing... lol

Stopped in to see my friend after he got his tires on, holy it’s tall lol
He’s on 3.5 metal cloak and 35” KM3 and I’m on a Rock Krawler 2.5 and 35” KL71

I actually have a great relationship, most of the stuff that I got warranty on they handed me the parts, I swapped them out at home and brought back the old part. Besides that I’ve ran 35’s on my last 2 Jeeps (2013 and 2015) my wife’s 2016 runs 35’s all on stock gearing and never had an issue

Just hit one year with my Sport S. Currently have a Rubicon Take Off Suspension, 33s, Rough Country Steering Stabilizer, 2 inch light cubes with lower windshield mount, Barricade Trail Force HD Front Bumper with Rough Country 9500 synthetic line winch and spiderweb shade mesh top for the kiddos.

JLUS here. I've had it for ten months and enjoying the build so far

That includes:

• 2" Molar Lift
• 33" BFG K02
• Rubicon Express HD Away Bar Link Disconnects
• Molar Performance Rails

In the process of putting new bumpers on and a winch.

Got any pics of the 33's on the 2" mopar lift? I'm considering a similar setup at some point down the road.

They both look great Chris! but since mine is an everyday driver I am not going to go that far moding mine. Good to know the Dana 44s with the 3.45 gearing seems to do just fine with the 35s. Think I will stick with the 33s anyway rather get the mileage than the look! enjoy the rides.

Id imagine its pretty similar to the Rubicon. They come with 33's and the extra couple of inches in the wheel well to accomodate 35's. So its like a Sport/Sport S with upgraded tires (33's) and a 2'' lift.

If you buy some wheels with a +1 offset you will have a wider stance of about 1" past the wheel well with 265/70/18. No need for lift and that tire is considered a 33 when in actuality it measures 32.6. The tires your JLUS came with were probably 31.4" Revo, mine were. The look to me is almost the same as seeing a 35" tire on JLUS lifted 2", same wider stance just a tad more clearance on the bottom end.

Yea i put 33's (32.7) on my stock jeep, no offsets, no lifts, nothing and it was completely ok. I just lifted the jeep 2.5'' to give it more room to flex, but the 33's on JLU sport S is basically like a stock Rubi. Do you know the width of the Wheels that come wtih stock Sport? are they 17x7.5? Im wondering how 35's would fit on the stock rims, and if id need wheel spacers b/c the 33's cut it close width wise.

All your rigs look awesome, It will take me a bit to get to the point you guys are all at. Thanks for th pics.. With the Barricade Adventure HD and the Rampage did you notice and dipping in the front end from the extra weight?

Love the American decal. Where did you get it? It matches my tire cover.

My buddies Jeep from above, running 3.5 metal cloak, 35’s on stock sport wheels with a 1.75” spacer

I probably would hate it too. However, with the 6 speed, I can control it with the clutch pedal. I like having that kind of control so I can have it activate at a red light and not necessarily at a stop sign. Lol

I agree, a bonus for the manual! I love the ESS in my manual!

First bucket wash of the year! Can’t wait to wheel this thing, snow can’t melt fast enough
