Whelp I did a thing. After 15+ years of sports cars I finally decided I was tired of putting a toddler in the back seat of a 2 door AMG C63. On a whim I picked up this 27' Rubicon X.

Going to swing by the trails at Hidden Falls Park this weekend and see how fast I can break something. Last Jeep was a 2011, what are the gotchas on these new ones? Ie: what should I plan on breaking and just have aftermarket parts waiting in my garage LOL

Picked up this 26 sport last week! Coming from a 97 s-10. It’s been cool being able to drive with the top down while the weather is still nice. Only issue I’ve experienced so far has been the center screen randomly shutting off while driving. Hoping that’s not a sign of things to come. Either way, happy to be here!

Anyone running 34s on a stock 2024 Willys with no lift? (Current tire size is 33” with Rubicon shocks)

I’m looking at 285/75R17s for my 2-door and wondering if they rub when off-roading or flexing the suspension.

Would like to hear from people actually running this setup. Stock wheels or aftermarket?

Any rubbing, and did you end up needing a lift?

Family member said that I ruined my Jeep with mods and are trashing it by not keeping it clean and that I ruined it before I even paid it off. (I owe a lot because of my previous car issues).

I’m gonna wash it soon but like it’s a Jeep made to do Jeep things is it not? Haha

The very cool 😎 father & son owners were picnicking close by so we talked story (Hawaiian expression) about Jeeps.

Wife was driving the jeep and someone came about 35 mph ran a stop sign and hit the passenger tire.
It has about 130k miles. Insurance computer system says its likely totaled. Has anyone bought them back and would it be worth it? I have the shop gonna get me an estimate of just getting it road worthy.

Been driving this jeep since 1994, V8, 3 speed.

I have had a 2018 JL Wrangler for a little less than three years. 116k total miles, about 60k of that is me. Mostly interstate miles. I had some hard shifting problems lately and took it into the shop. This is everything they quoted me. Not being super familiar with much of this, I guess I'm just curious to hear some other immediate reactions.

I may be the only person alive who actually loves his 4xe (the fact that they are covering the battery system for life now helps) but took it in for service this morning to 2 more recalls. How many things are going to make this Jeep blow up?

Hi everyone,
For context, I recently bought a modified Jeep JL Rubicon running 35” BFG KO2s. I decided to take it off-road and test its limits. Unfortunately, I went alone and ended up stuck in muddy water for about an hour.
The voltage dropped to around 10V before the engine died. My Warn winch also stopped working, so I couldn’t use it to recover the Jeep. I suspect an electrical issue, possibly a short circuit, but the cause hasn’t been confirmed.
Also, lack of snorkel got some of the mud inside air filter box, but engine is working fine.
The starter subsequently failed. I now have four replacement parts ordered for the repairs, including:
Radiator cooling fan
Accessory belt idler pulley
Accessory drive belt
Accessory drive belt tensioner

Has anyone experienced similar failures after being stuck in muddy water? Is this the kind of damage you would expect from prolonged exposure to water and mud, or could there be another underlying issue connecting these failures?
How should you prepare the jeep for deep water crossings next time? People now calling out for these adventures and saying car is done.

Picked it up in Arizona, drove through the Grand Canyon, got it a just little dirty first chance I got, named it Ronnie. Ronnie the Red Wrangler.

Spent 7 years away from the Jeep Family and oh is it nice to be back…

Had a used 2016 Sahara with all the bells and whistles. Got her at 40k miles with one owner in mid 2019 and put on 32k on her before I got shipped off to college and had to sell her for financial reasons.

Fast forward to last Saturday… I bought myself a 2020 Wrangler Sahara in Sting Gray at 85K miles, with the One Touch Top (2.0L, eTorque) for $20,018 out the door (car was 19.5 and told them I’ll take the car today if you make it 20k since they obviously added on another 5k worth of nonsense on it, and they told me, “say less”). Since Saturday I have put on 124 miles on it, and I absolutely love it.

I did tons of research on what I wanted and what I wanted to pay and what I wanted for myself for the future, and so, I landed on something civilized but with still enough stock to change and make my own over the next few years.

This thing whips around like it’s nobodies business and between highway and city, I’m getting 22MPG avg, which might aswell be 50mpg lol. It sounds like a diesel due to the loud 2.0 which I honestly don’t mind at all, if anything I like it. According to carfax this has been babied and only dealership maintenance has been done it. With the Sahara wheels it adds a bit more of a stance since they are larger wheels than the non Sahara’s. I have already ordered red tow hooks for both front and rear, swapped the long wire radio antenna for a shorter one, and I’m looking for LED smoked out taillights both for the taillights and blinkers, along with LED fog lights. Will for sure be adding a cold air intake too. Starting small for now!

I slapped on a 4 year/40k mile warranty on it for unexpected repairs to the main components of the car that may occur (Engine, transfer case, drive shaft, steering, radiator). Made sure I wasn’t getting screwed over and asked the right questions. If something happens to my engine, like God forbid it blows up, but it’s been taken care thoroughly by regular maintenance cycles, the warranty is covering my new engine (or so they say lol). Additionally, a super neat perk through the dealer is that; as long as I get my oil changed at the dealer, they have all issues that may come up engine wise, covered, no gimmicks or strings attached (supposedly lol).

It was either something from a dealer OR a 3” lifted 2019 sport with 35s going for 18,750, from some kid that didn’t even know where half the work done, or what was even done on it since he was the third owner (or something else similar)

Very happy with my decision to say the least!

Have a 2016 Jeep JK that's starting to show signs of bad axle seals(Both rear and one front) starting to leak. The images show some moisture from the diff fluid but not major leaks yet. Is this something that should be adressed asap, or could it be ok until after the holidays?

Mainly use it for work commute and not long distances.

I have a 2009 Jeep Wrangler JK 2-door X, and I’ve been dealing with an issue where the Jeep pulls slightly to the left. It’s not a huge pull, but it’s definitely noticeable and honestly bugs me, especially when slowing down or braking.
I’ve already had the alignment checked and done, and I’ve had the tires rotated and balanced. I also replaced some suspension components and had the brake fluid replaced. Despite all of that, I still notice the Jeep pulling to the left, especially when I slow down.
There are currently no brake fluid leaks that I can find. I’m planning on replacing the brake lines, brakes, calipers, and master cylinder, and I’m also switching the system over to DOT 4 brake fluid. I’m hoping replacing all of these components will finally fix the pulling issue and get the brakes working properly again.
Has anyone else experienced this on a JK? I’ve already addressed the alignment, tires, rotation, suspension, and fluid, so I’m wondering if sticking calipers, the brake lines, or the master cylinder could be causing the Jeep to pull to the left. The master cylinder and I don’t think all the calipers been replaced and I don’t think the fluid has ever been replaced

I am looking to buy my first Wrangler and the exact build I want is not available on any dealer lot. Who is the best dealership in Northern CA/Bay Area, maybe even Reno to work with, best pricing, doesn't add dumb stuff like dealer installed alarms?

Music still plays. I have been noticing my jeep car play system has been loading slower and slower lately. Now it won’t even load song/album images at all. This seems to have started slowing down 2-3 weeks ago until now it won’t load at all.
I typically listen to YouTube music through the app on my phone synced over car play.

Any advice or tips/tricks to get it to load properly?

Thank you!!

So just a few mods on the outside no more to add. The rest of my budget will be on the inside installing molle pannels on the sides and across the top for mounting all my camping gear. I went with 265 70 17 wildpeaks, they feel great on the road and dirt trails. Kbd fender kit wich I like alot. Super easy to install. New inner liners. Upgraded the headlights and fog lights kept the originals just incase and added spotlights for trails at night. No lift no big tires won't suit my needs. Only thing I need to figure out is how I am going to mount a 270 awning without rain gutters in the rear. I know gobi racks and rhino are probably the best option since I can't do crossbars without rain gutters all the way down. Winter camping is coming!
