    Drove a JKU and JLU back to back yesterday...JK is still better.

    After tire pressure correction, my JL RUBY 2dr, is so much an improvement-- The ride is so much better than my '08 JKUR and the new SOFTTOP is a world better than the past- The new 6spd manual is like a BAJA 1000 race tranny-smooth, short throw/w Reverse right next to 1st gear- It's quite an...

    2018 2 DR. JL JEEP RUBICON

    It looks pretty clean, without visable air pockets and seems fairly consistent -- Very light film of rust, just on the welds themselves---must be the oxidation after welding and it rejects the paint-- I'm in a very low humidity--relatively no rust area, so I'M NOT WORRIED- Good day JIMBO

    Hemi Ram 1500

    Yeah, I've gone thru the same--I've modified my Ram and the 5.7L HEMI/w mods and the 8spd auto is the best truck I've ever had, but- After almost two years I missed my jeep so much I had to order the new JL -this RAM just won't do what a jeep can and the jeep just won't do what the RAM can, so...

    JL to many electronics for the own good?

    Yeah, it dpends on your seat adjustment and steering wheel angle--these JL ruby's have a telescoping/angle adjusting steering wheel- You probably didn't have that in the JK 2dr you had- I'm a little less than 6'3" now HD, how tall are you "" When I was 30 I was 6'5-1/2"', BUT NOW AT 75 I'm...

    Hi-lift / shovel box for roof rack

    :sombrero: You could use a "JACKCASE" from Quadratec-I've had mine for over ten years and used it on top/inside/on the spare tire-the case weighs about 2lbs, until you put that jack in--then--about 30lbs--too heavy for the tailgate on a jeep ! You'll always have to be careful using...

    A little love for the Hi-Lift

    :sombrero: I'm not the class defender of HiLifts, although I should be-- I've used my HiLift for the many disasters on trucks/jeeps/trailers--since 1964 and I NEVER go off-road without mine-- They're like a spare tire--usually you'll never needit--but when you do-"BAM"- It's a good thing you...
