Jan 11, 2025 · @grimmjeeper nailed it. My Jeep is axle swapped, on 42s, with a roll cage and harnesses. What qualifies for serious to me and to someone who just bought their Rubicon is going to differ.

May 27, 2024 · Now personally my initial thoughts on them were kind one of them being too nice for someone like me. That is to say they are soft and supple and seemingly a luxurious rubber. I had a previous pair of WeatherTechs in the front and they are a much more hard and sturdy rubber and they've held up pretty good for what I put them through.

Jan 20, 2025 · So far, CDJR has dropped all their V8s in the 1500 trucks and cars. The very last RAM 1500 with a V8 was completed early December. Jeeps own website does not have any info on a 2025 wrangler 392. You cannot even build one on their website and despite the description you provided, no one can order one.

Dec 20, 2024 · I Iaughed it off, some “Karen” in a BMW suv that was probably late for work. I merge into the right lane wondering why people are driving crazy on a foggy day but happy I’m in a jeep with steel bumpers. Little did I know, “Karen’s” crazy …

Jan 10, 2025 · I decided to go to a suspension experts center for sports cars to measure the efficiency of the suspension dumping. This was a huge surprise… Damping efficiency was 52% LF 58% RF and average 64% on the rear. Braking efficiency 62% !! When DW and vibration develops check the efficiency of the shock absorbers!

Jan 22, 2025 · The prices were hilariously high. Wranglers are known for their re-sale value, but when the OEM is slashing prices by 20-30% to move cars your resale is going to take a massive hit. Jeep's reputation has also nosedived in the last year due to the quality/reliability issues.

Dec 11, 2024 · I've had a 1997, 2009, and now 2021 GC. All with V8's and the Quadradrive option for off-roading, though the '97 was the only one that saw significant off-roading (added ARB locker, skids, winch, slightly larger tires, etc.) Love the ride and performance, and the gas mileage is greatly improved in the '21 (no idea on the newer models or other engines).

Jan 5, 2025 · I'm not sure you'll pull off a full build including axles for $15k put you'd come close. The other issue going that route is trade-in/resale/insurance value (unless you pay for an extra rider for aftermarket parts) is still based off your base sport.

Dec 13, 2024 · High performance motors would generally start at 10:1 and go up to 13:1 for street cars. Ironically, when adding a turbo or supercharger to a motor, it ran a lower compression ratio of 7.5:1 to 8.5:1 because you are forcing air into the system and creating higher pressures, so you generally compensated by running lower compression.

Dec 20, 2024 · All the Dodge Charger police cars with the Pentastar and thousands of hours of idling pretty much blow that theory out of the water. The internet amplifies problems. Overall the engine is extremely reliable.
