Jeeps build tool has been messed up for several days – unless they also dropped the automatic transmission from the Rubicon X.

Glad people can get excited about either one of them, frankly. He’ll be the first convicted felon to hold the office of President.

I thought this was referencing Trump and Biden and wanted to replace your “too bad” with “thankfully”.

Thanks, yeah I never thought I'd see the day when I'd see such a well-built Wrangler – or see so many JLs on 35s on the lot. All Jeep needs to do now is offer an optional Atlas transfer case with a 2-speed low range.

Congrats on yours! The 2.0T with 4:56 is really a nice combo. It might be too easy to spool up the 2.0T and launch yourself into some rocks if they put the 4:88s on 'em without 37s 🙃

Agreed. At first I wasn't sure about the new interior, but once I realized the dash wasn't fabric and sat inside one, I changed my mind. Yeah, I'll report back after putting more miles on it.

If I wasn't smoking crack when I read it, I think onboard air is being offered on the 392 Final Edition. Would love to see that offered as an option on all Rubicons.

Traded the Mojave last Saturday for a '24 JLUR X XR 🥳 Never thought I'd get another chance to get the Anvil color, which is my favorite Wrangler color ever (right alongside Gobi, Gator, and Commando). The Good: Return of Anvil. Dramatically improved steering. Heavier feel. Zero play...

Good call, let me retest and report back.

I felt the 4:56 was perfect with the 2.0T, but my Willys XR was light – base soft top, plastic bumpers, manual windows, etc. And of course the stock 35 KO2s are also light and a bit undersized. Looks like with the 3.6L auto, the RPM with 4:88s on factory wheels/tires at 75 is around...

I'll have to check and report back. The JL gearing chart I've seen shows 2,723 rpm at 70 mph for 35" tires, but the BFGs are small for 35s. I had a 45 minute drive home at 75 mph on the way home from the dealer, and I didn't notice any objectionable engine noise. Downshifting on steep grades...

I'm really liking it so far. The XR I was originally about to buy had 4:56 gears, but it got sold out from under me before I could commit (busy Saturday at the dealer). But the salesperson and I accidentally found its twin at the back of their lot – just a few VIN numbers apart but with the...

Made the mistake of test driving a 2024 JLUR-XR auto with 4:88s yesterday. First time I've gotten the hinge protection applied before getting at least one chip.

So true. We moved to NM almost 7 years ago and only just recently started driving further west. This was a bit over a week ago – quick trip to Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon. Painted Desert overlook Meteor Crater Meteor Crater view window – in the distance is Mt. Humphreys (12,637') close...

Dang, sorry that happened to you. I once somehow stabbed by big toe really deep with a knife while working on my Challenger a few years ago. I had to add “don’t work on vehicles while wearing sandals” to my list of stupid things never to do again. That list is getting pretty long.

Had a matching wheel installed today on the spare (Method 707). I could say it's so I can do a 5-tire rotation, but the truth is I'm so used to having five identical wheels on Wranglers, I had to order a fifth. The spare is out of sight of course, but here's a photo just because:

It’s surprising how much better these vehicles handle when the tire is allowed to be in contact the road. I was an idiot running my 315 E-rated KO2s on my JTM at 38psi for a time, wondering why I was nearly getting blown off the interstate by crosswinds. I mistook twitchy steering for better...

Yeah, nothing like getting caught to keep you honest. They knew it was only a matter of time before someone who recognized them turned them in. They should not be treated as if they did the right thing.
