    Slow Build: 2013 JK

    I see a lot of them for sale used on CL, and have thought about picking up another set. I'm amused that back in the day 32" rubber was pretty tall, but now that they come stock nobody wants them! I'll definitely wear these out before I buy another set. They cost me too much and I'm too Scotch I...

    Guide Me - JKUR for Expo Use

    I didn't exactly say that Jeeps are unreliable, and I am a true Jeep fan. I've owned a Wagoneer, CJ3a, CJ5, three CJ7's, CJ8, YJ, and a JKUR. My family members and close friends all have Jeeps as well. I couldn't dream of trying to live without a Jeep in the driveway (how would you) and there's...

    Guide Me - JKUR for Expo Use

    If Toyota would build a true FJ land cruiser similar to the Jeep JKU I think there'd be a whole lot less Jeeps on the road! I love my Jk, but Toyota takes the cake in real live all around the world reliability! While I love their reliability, they don't have anything that compares to the JKUR in...

    Downsizing To A Jeep......

    All of your other info is spot on but the gear ratios are not entirely correct. Rubicons with the auto now come with 3.73 gears stock. I don't know how many years that they've been doing that but be sure you know what you're buying. 4.10's are a $200 option on the auto, but come standard with...

    Land Cruiser 76 Specs

    This site had the most info so far. The only big things I'm missing now are break over angle and transfer case ratios. I'm almost done!

    Stupid Jeep Question

    I actually installed one in my CJ7 when I rebuilt it. My little brother bought a Jeep that had one and I immediately noticed how quiet it was compared to mine. Some people like a lot of noise, but I appreciate not hearing the engine! Extra noise wears on me after a long day driving and causes me...

    Downsizing To A Jeep......

    I did. I really like the new Jeep I got, but I'm going to miss the interior space and utility of my crew cab. The Jeep is designed and built with utility in mind, but you can't beat a pickup in the utility department. I have to get the truck cleaned up to sell soon, and I've really been dragging...

    LR Defender110 Specs Help!

    I love TerriAnn's site. I've looked around on there quite a bit over the last few years. I would love to have a series caravan like hers, but boy are they pricey! One thing I'm finding out is that LR doesn't change everything every other year like a lot of other manufacturers.

    LR Defender110 Specs Help!

    Well I did google defender and looked for quite a few hours. I didn't know to look for Puma. I have a few more squares filled in now thanks to you all.

    LR Defender110 Specs Help!

    Forgive my ignorance, I don't speak fluent Land Rover yet, what is PUMA? Also, is 1.2 the model or the T-case ratio? I sure hope it's not the ratio, cause that's not really low and the Land Rover stacks up to the others pretty favorably at this point.

    LR Defender110 Specs Help!

    And you don't know what those ratios are, do you? The JKUR does not come with a diesel at this time. I'd love to have one, but the closest thing is the export 2.8 in any trim but Rubicon. I'd love to have a Defender 110 or Series 70 for that matter, but due to our crazy regulations we can't get...

    Land Cruiser 76 Specs

    Thats a good idea, I never thought of Toyota of Gibraltar! I even watched a youtube video about them the other day.

    A vehicle isn't yours until you've named it. What do you call your Jeep vehicle?

    Helga (build thread on Mud, more like a parts collection thread) Couple others that still need names... EDIT: Sorry, didn't see this was in the Jeep specific forum. Didn't mean to bomb you. Love that Cruiser! Jeep should have built a pickup like that.

    LR Defender110 Specs Help!

    Hi, I'm building a spread sheet for comparison of three comparable expedition vehicles. This will be an honest assessment of numbers only with (hopefully) no bias either way. The three cars I am comparing are the LR Defender 110, the Jeep JKUR and the Landcruiser series 70 GXL wagon. I have...

    Land Cruiser 76 Specs

    Hi, I'm looking around for a few specs on the Australian spec Landcruiser 76 GXL wagon. I've been putting together a spread sheet comparing it with the Jeep JKUR and the LR Defender 110. These are three very comparable expedition vehicles and I want to see how the numbers stack up. It's all...

    Longest trip in a JKU?

    Don't mean to hijack the thread, but that JK is awesome! What lift are you running and what is your tire size if you don't mind? I have the same model/color and plan on the same bumpers and rack.

    how rare?

    Not rare. A long fender stock version would be awesome to stumble across though...........If I were 5'5" or twenty years younger! Neat Jeeps though.

    New TeraFlex JK Performance Rotor Kits

    Very nice. My only concern is buying replacement rotors in the future but maybe that's just the cj builder coming out in me. Its nice to finally have a current model to build and not worry about parts availability. These will be on my list right after the necessary items are taken care of.

    Aftermarket Sources

    Ive done quite a bit of business with 4wd hardware over the years and I still do buy some things there. The prices have unfortunately taken a hike since transamerica bought them out so I find myself shopping around quite a bit more these days.
