2021 JLUR Build Thread

Alrighty! Build thread of my 2021 JLUR 3.6 e-torque soft top I purchased used about a year ago. Coming from a 1992 YJ (which I still have) to this thing has been a huge change with some getting used to but I can keep up with traffic and have A/C now so that is a plus ?. I like bullet points so here we go. Disclaimer: I am a sales, tech, and customer team member at Metalcloak so I have a lot of our stuff.

I have this feeling if metal cloak made wheels and tires you would be running those too.

Looks like a lot of Metalcloak parts my guy! I would have had their lift, but it was just out of my budget. Looks great and I am sure it feels amazing!

Welp! Not the update to the build list I was hoping to make but the Jeep is getting a new transmission. Luckily covered under warranty. 50,940 miles... Threw it in reverse to back into a parking lot and went about 2 feet backward, loud bang and it kicked out of reverse. Put it in park, then back into reverse, blinky R light and when I put it in drive it shifts straight to 6th. It was throwing a check engine light and ACC light on the dash as soon as it happened. Codes C2226-00-tcm disabled. P1D90-00-incorrect gear ratio-clutch 2 defective. P1D96-00 incorrect gear ratio-clutch a or b defective. Dealership says internal failure, 1 week to get new transmission then they will start install on it. Rolling in my YJ has been nice for the last week though. She needed some love. Till next time!

Cheers,
