A dealer told me today the base price for a new JL Rubicon (2 Door) will start at $42,000. That would be $8,355 over a current 2018 Rubicon JK. For those of you who have seen a new JL in person do you think the new model is really worth that much extra? And if so why?:eek:

Wanting to replace my 2013 sport transfer case with a rubicon 4:1. I have found two for sale. One is an NV241HD the other is NV241OR, which one should I purchase. Or can anyone give me their VIN Number for a 2013 Rubicon?

Does it make since to up grade to a Dana 44 axle and keep my sport transfer case? Hardest trail I would take would be the Rubicon maybe once every other year. Really don't want to put in a used rubicon transfer case and new ones don't seem to be available.

I normally keep my jeep in 2wd until I need to switch to 4h and then again 4l. Is this a good way to use 4wd or when I get on the dirt should I be in 4h etc.... Trying to put the least amount of stress on the drivelines and axles.

I have a '13 sport with 33" tires, 3.5" lift and a rear locker. I'm thinking of putting a Dana 44 in the front but keeping the sport transfer case. I'm doing a little more rock crawling every year but don't expect to do the hard core stuff. Probably won't even do the Rubicon. But would like...

Was wondering if anyone has used these. I have heard they do work for the pin striping but if you get dirt, dust, mud between them and the paint and they move they can damage the paint. Also they shouldn't be left on for more than 24 hours. In other words, are these worth the money and effort?

Does anyone know if you can lift one side of a stock '13 JK stock -FRONT- bumper on the tow hooks without bending them with a high lift jack? I would be putting a D-ring on the tow hook which is bent 180 degrees.

Was wondering if anyone uses a Rough Country Rear Differential Skid plate for a Dana 44 axle. Do you like it? How much ground clearance have you lost? Any positive or negative feedback?

Keep scrapping the bottom of JK Dana 44 Pumpkin. Now it is seeping fluid very, very slowly. Was wondering if it's worth getting a Differential Glide (Skid) plate and if it's worth losing some ground clearance? Appreciate your thoughts.

Running a 3.5" lift and 33" tires on a Sport with a rear locker on a Dana 44. Have hit my rear pumpkin several times and was wondering which skid plate would be better the Rough Country or Rancho? I just do a little rock crawling on harder moderate trails to easier difficult trails. Also do you...

Currently running Goodyear Silent Armor A/T 285/75R16 tires on a '13 sport. Cut a real small line on the LR sidewall. No problems yet but was wondering to play it safe if I should replace it and if I do should I buy 2 new tires or all 4. Would rather play it safe than having to change a tire...

Was wondering if it's worth considering upgrading my Dana 30 axle to a Rubi 44 axle with 50,000 miles on it? Do you think with 50,000 miles I'm asking for trouble? Your thoughts appreciated.

Looking at some spy photos of the JL it looks to me like it's losing some ground clearance with the frame and gas tank hanging lower. Anyone else notice this?

I currently have a '13 JK Sport with a rear elocker. I used to live near the coast and did a lot of ridge line trails. Now that I'm in the Sierra's the trails seem to be much more rocky. I primary do the easier difficult trails and would like a little more traction in the front. Do you think...

I have a '13 JK and recently tore the front driveline rubber boot. Is this something I should be replace right away? How much would a mechanic charge to do the work. I think a new boot is only like $12.00.

I'm looking at upgrading my d30 front to a d44. Will I have to change the driveline or will everything just fit right in place? Any other issues I should be award of?

I'm currently running 3.73 gears and 33" tires on my JK sport 2013. Wanting to move up to 35" tires next year. Was wondering if it's worth the hassle to replace the D30 front with a D44 and my transfer case to a rubicon 4:10 or just buy a new rubicon. I'm not mechanically inclined so all the...

Can you do power coat yourself or do you need to go to a shop? If you can do it yourself what brand of paint do you recommend?

I own a 2013 JK 2dr Wrangler. It's 95% daily driver and 5% off-road. About half my off-road time is dusty dirt trails and fine clay dust. I have a feeling the oil based filter will tend to attract more dust than sticking with a dry replacement filter. Does anyone have any experience with this...

Gauging interest in doing a moderate trail snow run north of Angels Camp or Sonora Jan 1 and/or the 2nd. Chains not required as if the snow gets to deep we will turn around.
