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...

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.

My brothers are in the San Diego County Estates area (two houses) just NE of Ramona. The drive is long (up past Mount Woodson past Poway), but the property prices are much more reasonable (and thus property tax and insurance is less), the scenery is good, and there is ready access to the...

This is by far the best advice. Why pay now if you can pay later (or perhaps not at all)? The money you save can be used for anything and it will grow over time. You might ram the Jeep into a tree and then the money paid for the warranty is totally lost.

It seems that you may have a wiring issue. Perhaps a poor (intermittent high resistance) connection, or even critter issues (mouse chews). This could lead to a reduced reading from the dash since the dash electronics, and other Jeep electronics, draws current while it is on and the damaged...
