    Ok, I have a 18 JLUR (Automatic) with 37s and regeared to 4:88, love it. However I did it because we occasionally tow a 3000 lb trailer. 70% of towing is done on the rolling hill highways in Missouri, with the remainder being Colorado mountain highways, which we will be heading to this summer...

I also pull a 3000 lb trailer, plus normal off-roading gear at times. I figured why not, somebody needs to try it and...

Shortly after that and I assume numerous complaints Jeep advised they would be reinstalling that App/Program in the 2018s...

    Winch vs Mopar Steel Bumper

    Its my understanding that the Winch Capable steel front bumper is not a direct bolt on winch bumper and that a winch mount plate must be ordered. I've heard that people are having issues getting some winches to fit properly or at all. I have the XRC Gen 2 9500lb winch. Does anybody have any...
