The ground on the other side of the curb dropped off quite a lot so when the tire went over it, the lower shock mount is what made contact. Luckily the curb was not damaged. It gets really dark in the country. I piled up rocks on the other side of the curb so if I turn too sharp again, this...

My dash display looks similar to yours. I expect that the "free spooling" happens when the transmission changes to higher gears. Since I have enabled showing the current gear (something you should do), if I was paying attention I would likely notice that the transmission has changed gears...

Not related to hill descent control (because it's not enabled), but when I go down a long hill and am enjoying some engine braking to control descent rate, after a short while it is as if the transmission suddenly goes "free spooling" and the Jeep suddenly accelerates down hill due to gravity...

Eddie and Cindy need a home for wayward squirrels? Can they send some to you?

Since it is apparently a safety feature there may be liability if you remove it (similar to seat belts). Or it may fail an inspection.

How many inches of snow load is that?

Maybe the skids will work. Once I caused "trail damage" to a rental Jeep in my own driveway (drove over a tall curb in the dark). The part damaged is what this skid is protecting.

But what about the PCV valve?

The unsprung weight ratio is not so great, but it is not likely to flip when taking corners due to it's wide stance, and 3 degrees maximum steering angle.

There must be a lot of off-roaders there. I would guess that 95% of JL Wranglers in Dallas have never driven on a dirt road at all!

When I updated to 35s, I found that I needed to recalibrate my foot when applying the brake. My first few stops were unexpectedly long. More braking pressure was required. 37s would have required more re training. It seems that Kevman an advocate for skinny, lighter tires. 😄

Welcome from Arizona (and Texas)!

The drummed up excitement about Epstein is designed to provide cover for those unidentified flying objects that most us are still certain are not "drones". This is one of the best planned bait and switches in history!

Stelantis doors not have much share of the US EV market. If they offer an EV I am not sure if I have ever seen one on the road. But in major urban areas there are a lot of EVs on the road. Many people do not leave the major urban area where they live, except by air. EVs work well for a portion...

Welcome from Arizona (and Texas)!

The EV saleable in California can also be sold in other states. Many people are intentionally buying EVs and they may be a good match for their daily usage model. A Wrangler type vehicle does not work well in the form of an EV given how they are often used.

I don't see any reason that Stelantis can't just sell EV-only (or hydrogen if they have it) models in California while continuing to sell gas models in the rest of the world. California is big but not that big.

At least one person reported an issue which seemed like the transfer case position sensor.

Looking forward to a model with brackets for a 2-door JL (with rear seats removed).

Thanks for checking back in.
