Hey all,
Just joined. I admit I havent done much searching yet. I am about to trade in my 2016 Ram Power Wagon for a 2019 JLR. Before the PW, I was a TJ/YJ guy so I have some knowledge of the older Wranglers. But from what Ive been reading, the JL is on a whole new level.
Honestly, only got the PW cuz was planning on buying a big boat. Never happened. Still drove it for 3.5 years. Now realize I dont need it. Only thing I tow is a small HF utility trailer.
Anyways, I went for a test drive today of a JLR, 3.6, 6 sp manual hardtop. Very Impressed with how it handles. This particular one is about as bare bones for a Rubi that I could find. No safety stuff , leather, or heated seats. Just 8.4 nav and hardtop. Thats all I want.
If I get it, down the line, Ill upgrade the bumpers, add a winch, etc.
But for now, what mods need to be made to fit 35s? It USED to be a whole big thing to get 35s+ under these correctly.
Also, gotta do it. What mpg can I expect with a light foot on a 2 door JLR manual?
Given...Im coming from a 6.4 hemi PW on 35s that weighs over 7000 pounds. Combined 12.5 on that sucker hand calculated. And thats considered good.
Anyways, thanks for any info and advice. Ill be able to search around for this stuff once I get a little more time too.
