    Purpose of shorty antennae?

    Honestly what is the purpose of the short antennae? Mine has maybe 11" or 13" and it's constantly whack whack whack whack against the body at high speed. Very annoying. I don't get it

    Music in off-road videos 😡

    I personally can't stand YouTube videos from a trail (or most anything automotive) that play loud annoying royalty free music. Does it not occur to anyone (major journalist publications too) that we might ACTUALLY WANT to hear the engine struggle or roar, the tires squeal for traction, the...

    37s, no beadlock, what TRAIL pressure do YOU run?

    Just swapped on 37x12.5x17 KO2 on stock rims. What trail pressures have you run safely?

    37s, what street pressure do YOU run?

    Just ordered some 37" KO2s. Not going to lift it but that's a discussion for another thread. Just curious if there's a consensus on appropriate pressure considering my JLUR isn't THAT heavy.

    Bimini top for JL? I can only find mesh, want REAL shade!

    Heat index is like 140° in S. Texas. I'm looking for a Bimini top for a JLUR that TOTALLY blocks the sun as well as those once-a-year rains that fall. All I can seem to find are useless mesh screens. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Seems everyone makes them for CJ and TJ but nothing...

    Recycling fog lights

    So I swapped to a tube bumper and had the factory fog lights just laying around. Decided to integrate them into the bumper facing sideways. It provides some useful light out to the sides, even if they aren't tremendously powerful. Btw... anyone know how to rotate images? It's kind of annoying...

    Stock JLUR. 35s or 37s?

    I'll be upgrading rubber soon on my wife's JLUR and I definitely can't go back with 33s. I already have wheel spacers installed, so I know 35s will articulate without rubbing. However, I live in South Texas. There isn't 50' of elevation change within 100 miles of me. This Jeep isn't going to see...

    AC cooling performance

    Now that temps have cracked 150,000 degrees celcius, I've been noticing while driving at highway speed with AC running pretty strong that occasionally I'll get heat blowing through the floor vents, but still cold through dash vents. I have to move AC to max and just wait till the floor vent...

    Crawlin in the neighborhood / Classic never dies 😆

    So I've never been known as one who takes good advice... Everyone told me not to run a classic tube bumper on a JL... but I did it anyway. Kinda helps complete the 4-door TJ look. Bumper installed easy, it's not meant to be trail protection, but it's a handy place to mount a pair of lights...

    Fun with visors

    Couldn't help it. They are like $15 from China and just need to be trimmed to fit.

    Mopar 82215429 MOLLE bags vs knock-offs

    Been looking at these Mopar MOLLE bags for the back of my Rubicon and seen similar looking knock-offs for half price on Amazon/Ebay. Does anyone have any experience with either the Mopar or the cheap versions?

    Synergy wheel spacers

    I couldn't help it. I wanted the wider look but couldn't justify new rubber for my wife's DD. I've always gone with new wheels with the right backspacing, but this is the first time I've really really liked a stock wheel. The Synergy spacers looked decent, I ordered them up, and they don't...

    Axle wrap/hop or broken mounts?

    In deep sand is it normal for a JLU to have really bad axle hop? Finally got it out and sandy and noticed pretty violent wheel hop or what seemed like wheel hop in the dunes. However, I've also noticed the same thing on the street when you get the motor close to stalling. Violent shaking and...

    Tire width question, probably been asked many times

    Sooo.... 2018 JLUR... my wife's daily driver. Looking to go wider because... well because I like how it looks. Normally I'd change out wheel too, but I kinda like the stock Rubicon rims. My question, how wide a tire in the 33-34" range have you all successfully run on stock wheels? For...

    Classic double tube bumper on a JL?

    Has anyone on these forums (or others :( ) installed a classic double tube bumper on a JL? I really like the style of the bumpers (especially on a CJ/TJ), but honestly I don't think it looked great on the JK (full disclosure I've never been able to like the JK period, grille just... me-no-likey)...

    Poor backup lighting

    Anyone upgraded their reverse lights? The rear camera is pretty good in the day but at night it's near useless. Just curious if there's something low-key out there that works with the stock wiring? Thanks in advance

    Throttle response / Revs hang when trying to upshift

    Couple weeks now with a 6-speed Rubicon and not at all thrilled with the fly-by-wire throttle response. I'm accustomed to a 5-speed 4.0 TJ and maybe that's a part of the problem. The TJ is 100% analog and can be driven blindfolded and with ear muffs. The vibrations through the wheel and shifter...

    Hello from Texas

    Being from Texas, suppose my Hello should be a "Howdy"... :rolleyes2: Just picked up a JLU Rubicon 6-speed for my wife. First mod was swapping the rock rails for some side steps as my wife is somewhat vertically challenged. I also have a clutch pedal extension project pretty high up in my to-do...
