I've only had a few vehicles, some of which had engines that were known to last (22R-E, Inline 6 (Jeep)) and they did just that, along with one engine ('07 JK V6) that was a first-year production and not the best track record - that lasted 180k miles at least, but had various issue (oil leaks...
Absolutely loved it, I've been to Jeep Jamboree's before, and this was albeit on a smaller scale, a lot better than Jeep. It was well coordinated, plenty of time on trail, a nice mix of information for beginners and some questions answered for more experienced drivers. The big takeaway being...
Has anyone figured out a solution to the storage bin in the back not smelling like mildew and death? I have a Badlands, it's in sand a lot, I rinse it out carefully, everything drains well so far, but.....the carpet on the back side of that lid is just soaking up all of the moisture and smelling...
I looked in the manual and I've tried to bungee cord it to stay forward, but is there a way (or am I just being stupid) to lock the front passenger seat in the bent forward position (i.e. the position to allow someone in the backseat). I'm not actually having anyone sit in any of the seats, just...
I've posted a few times on there regarding a bimini/bikini top solution, it almost kept me from trading my JL for a Bronco. I basically go 6 months hard top, 6 months no top/bikini top in the southeast where in the summer it can rain any day of the week. It's kept in a garage and I work from...
I need to completely remove the rear passenger side seat to best make use of the cargo space (more easily fit a MTB, etc.). I'm not really interested in the Goose Gear given the price and the fact that I need something that can be washed out repeatedly (I bought the MGV/Vinyl to use it, and I'm...
I have a similar thread to a few previous regarding the manual transmission, but here goes. Background - I've basically had Jeeps since I started driving, XJ, JKU. I test drove the Bronco in May of 2021 and really liked it and put in a reservation. My '07 JKU was on it's last leg (transmission...
Badlands width is 86.2" with mirrors, my garage is roughly 90" that's pretty tight. I have to park it in the garage, I go with no top half the year, so that's a requirement. JL fits no issue, anyone with a similar issue where it's pretty tight? I'm guessing pulling in a mirror will help for 2 or...
I'm pretty close to delivery of a 2 door Badlands SAS 7MT, and I'm still debating whether I will take delivery or keep my JLUR that I ordered in the meantime once my JK had reached end of life (it was a great vehicle, and I sold while Carvana was crazy).
In any case, I think I've figured out...
I made a reservation in June 2021, at the time I had a '07 JKU I loved, but really liked the Bronco. I started with a 4 door, and have since switched to a 2 door which is what's getting built, Manual, 2 Door, Roof Rack, Badlands SAS. In the meantime, I bought a '21 JLUR in November 2021 because...
So....luckily my March 2021 order is still not even scheduled, so here's the evolution of my order and why I've made the changes, and then what I'm looking to add (with some requested help) if I take my order. So, I have only had Jeeps in my life, XJ (4 door), JK (4 door) and now a JL (4 door)...
In the FAQ it states that any trim/# of doors, any major change will negate the price protection. I'm trying to change my 4 door Badlands to a 2 door Black Diamond Sasquatch, and my dealer said that is not allowed, is this correct?
Ok, so I'm on order #3, which is fine, I'm in no rush. Currently enjoying my JLUR, and honestly, I may stick with it. I just haven't had enough time with a Bronco to really make a decision. The one decision I have made is to switch to a 2 door. This brings up the next question for my use case...
Since I'm very likely going to be re-ordering my build for '23 (June '21 Reservation), I'm likely going to switch from a Badlands non-SAS to Black Diamond SAS. The things I have to have are:
Manual Transmission
MIC
MGV
I don't care about the HIgh package, and the majority of my use is beach...
Has anyone used the solid bimini top - Bronco 4Dr 2021-2022 Soft Canvas Bimini Top ~ VM2DZ54500W00D (ford.com)
Still deciding between keeping my JL or not, and this factors in. My JL pretty much goes 6 months with a hardtop, 6 months with a bimini top for rain. It's in the garage when I'm not...
Ok, I've only owned 4 vehicles in my life, a XJ, Toyota Pickup (22RE), a JK, and now a JL. I have had a Bronco reservation since June 2021, and right now sitting on a Badlands, 2.3L, 7 spd, Non-SAS, MIC order. So, unlike a lot of inquiries here, I don't really mind the Jeep on-road, and I have a...
So, I'm coming from a Jeep, first a JK, now a JL Rubicon, which I may end up keeping because I'm really liking it. One thing I'm wondering - for people who have gone from a manual 4wd transfer case to the GOAT mode where it's basically automated - any long-term concerns? Are there any pros/cons...
Ok, so here's the breakdown, I have a late reservation/build date (July/August 2021) - 2.3L, Manual, Badlands. I'm holding out for a hard top because the whole purpose to buying a new vehicle is so I can take some surf/mountain trips, and will need top rack space either way (I don't like the...
Ok, so.....I'm sure this has been discussed quite a bit, but I figured I'd break it down on one thread to see if my estimates are semi-accurate based on information right now (which obviously is subject to change). I thought I could hold out but my JKU is really starting to have some issues, so...
