Well, I'm embarrassed to confess here that I'm the sole voter for full factory doors. I'll crawl down under my desk when I'm done. I'm just out at all hours and in all kinds of weather. My JLUR is my only driver, my home is a motorhome. I like to feel able to keep expensive tools, and my...

Thanks Eddie, that helps! I'm a desert person, not in snow often at all, more sand. But I've always wondered the best way to proceed in snowy conditions if I find myself there. Love your videos, keep them coming!

A snow newbie here. So I assume the bigger tires are better on snow, as in sand? Also, what air pressure is best for doing that? What percentage of the time were lockers needed? Thank you

I will try and test the HDC (Hill Descent Control) tomorrow. I originally saw a YT video stating HDC could only be used in 1st gear LO range. But a snippet from a Jeep manual I just read online tonight says not so, that it will take over shifting of the transmission and braking to hold the...

As a comparison, my Liberty weighed around 5K as this JLU does. It's engine was a 2.8L 4-cylinder diesel. So quite a bit less engine for braking.

The reason I know it's throttling up the engine is that this Jeep has the new digital gauges that give so much information. I put it on the display that shows instantaneous mpg. I find if I drive by that I get better mileage, but that's on the pavement. So as I begin descending the 'mpg' gauge...

No, I haven't. Mainly because I read that mode is only available in 4LO/1st gear. So I'd be crawling. I think top speed in Hill Descent mode is up to 4mph? That's just a guess since 1st is so low. The downgrades I'm running are [guessing] 10-15%, rocky, washboarded, with switchback curves. 3rd...

Oh sorry I forgot that. Yes, always on those hills.

I've been a member here for a while and enjoy learning from others' experience. I'm a senior, but have Jeeped all my life, been in an active Jeep club when I was younger, etc. I got my 2018 Jeep JLU Rubicon, 3.6V6, 8-speed auto transmissiion, as my retirement dream vehicle. I RV and tow my Jeep...

I've jeeped since the 1970's & was in a Jeep club, but lately got myself a 2018 JLU Rubicon as my everyday vehicle RVing. I tow it behind the motorhome. Back to my roots, you'd say. I'm enjoying learning about the new Jeeps, so different from my CJ-5 in the 70's, and it's great to read the posts...
