Maintenance, a $7K truck should need $5000-$7000 of once every 10 years parts replaced or serviced. A $12-14k truck should only need fluids and pads for another 10 years. Second is the initial MSRP range, a 39k V6SE truck vs a 64k HSE. Issues are exceptions, these trucks are bullet proof...

Huh, learn something new every day. I always thought that had been a carryover bridge from BMW M62 until the 5.0 was ready, I had no idea it was in the AJ-8 family.

Ressurected thread. You'll see a brief spike in LR4 prices when the new Discovery comes out and the remaining new LR4s are all sold out. All the pent up demand of people who like the boxy, rugged look will have a run on them with rapidly dwindling supply. Then you will see a massive price...

Sell the KO2s, buy Terra Grappler G2s. Best AT tire I've ever had, and handles like Blizzaks or Winter Sports in ice/snow/wet conditions.

It's $2000, not 10K. It's not available with SE trim. On HSE and HSE Lux it's a $2000 charge to go from SC petrol to TC diesel.

It is too good to be true, currently the diesel is only offered on the HSE and HSE Luxury, so it's base price will be $58.950 MSRP. That includes all HSE gear though. You have to get the air suspension to get lockers, that's another 1500. totalling $60.450 for a stripper model diesel with...

Locking into build mode to prevent it from taking sensor readings?

Years ago, after the Ford sale to Tata Land Rover was explicitly clear about their intentions. The first step was to increase sales and diversify with three distinct product lines: 1) Range Rover line - luxury abound, city driving, etc. - brought us the Evoque, RR, and RRS. 2) Discovery...

It's worth noting that there's very little 'Jeep' about anything AEV makes. Their stuff proved superior to the point that Chrysler themselves uses them to supply components of the factory Wrangler and sends them prototypes long before hitting the market. Anything off road oriented from FCA is...

My source is one of the legal counsel retained to defend them in lemon laws. Or you could just google it and see the laundry list of electrical transmission control problems, transmission blowouts at speed, and other assorted potentially fatal errors they've been having across their various...

1) Learn what the trail rated badge means, and what factory conditions of a Rubicon JK vs an OR adventure 2 package WK2 are. They are equally capable out of the factory. Learn the brand. 2) Learn that when it comes to mods, trimming body work to fit 37s is a lot easier than rebuilding a...

My point at the beginning is that factory to factory, a 2006 LR3 and a 2006 Rubicon Unlimited have the same ground clearance, same size tires, factory lockers, and outstanding 4x4 capability. Where the LR3 is taller, wider, and heavier, it turns a circle about six feet smaller which leads to...

1) I own two Jeeps and one Land Rover, and have no 'pride' involved in either. 2) You're all missing the point and telling anecdotes. If an off road purpose built solid axle performs better than an on road purpose built IFS, that doesn't make solid axle better than IFS. Seriously, stop...

And getting back to the Rubicon Unlimited vs LR3 argument: An 06 Rubicon Unlimited from the factory has 10" of ground clearance, just like the LR3 in Off Road Mode. The LR3 can be lifted another 2.5 with a $180 kit thanks to it's IFS with air bags. The Jeep would cost upwards of $500 for a...

You can't be serious. If you've spent more time under a car than on the internet you'd know that was total BS and an old wives tale. An IFS is better in many ways. The articulation keeps the tires level with the ground, the differential is out of the way, the handling characteristics are...

Did you even bother reading? I said the pentastar is great and deserves the praise it gets, but the 8 & 9 speed transmissions, ACC/FCW systems, air bag sensors, seat belt sensors, instrument panels, and nav units. It is effecting more than just one model. The ACC/FCW is a supplier issue going...

And as with all things internet, the slappies are out. It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, it's happening. I've driven a Jeep my entire life. Worked with Jeep for the last 8.5 years professionally. I've driven an LR3 for 4 months. Lockers are lockers. Tires are tires. Ground...

A 14GC WK2 with Off Road 2 adventure package will do anything an LR4 will do. It comes with 18s, skid plates that are strong enough to hold the full weight of the car from their center point, electronic locking rear end, and air suspension. Just like the LR4, but with 18s for better tire...

Awesome videos. Specs or build thread on your Disco?

I'm down the street from world HQ and CDJRF is one of my clients. I have beers every Tuesday night with one of their lemon law defense attorneys. Congrats on getting one of the rare experiences with your JK and good luck with that diesel WK2. They bought mine back, my neighbors, many friends...
