JLU 2019 Sport brake issues

A friend of mine was having problems with her driver's side brakes sticking. She took it to pep boys and had the caliper, rotor and pads replaced. She has double piston calipers in the front for some reason and they were kind of a pain to find plus they were expensive. She drives it home fine (approx. 6 miles) and doesn't drive it until the other day where the brand new caliper did the same thing but worse. She said she was on the side of the road for 2 hours waiting for it to stop smoking. I was dealing with a similar situation and my problem ended up being swollen brake lines. My question is if the brand new caliper did the same thing basically the first time it was really driven. Would it make sense to believe that the old caliper wasn't to blame in the first place and they just changed it out instead of diagnosing the actual problem?

Working so you can disappear to nature whenever you want

Had the jeep since December and finally getting out to some backcountry camping. Ontario Canada so we have a lot of bogs, mud and rocks, going by yourself can get you in trouble but I’d rather go alone and be careful than not go at all. Doing what the jeep was designed to do.

Years ago I saw a post with these tube doors….

To this day, this is the only proof I have that speaker tube doors exist. I cannot find a retailer or any other Jeep owner with them. Does someone sell these? Where can I get these?
My guess has been that they are custom built, but I would pay someone to custom build them for me.

Just a girl that needs advice

Hey y’all! I have a 2024 Jeep Wrangler Sahara and after having it for a couple years, I’m thinking about switching to 33” tires. I’ve always liked the stock look, but bigger tires are definitely growing on me.

I’m 4’11”, so I don’t plan on lifting it, but I’m wondering what wheel size works best with 33s without a lift. Also, will 33s rub at all on stock height? I think that’s the Rubicon size.

I’m in Charlotte, NC and do a good amount of interstate driving, so if anyone has shop recommendations around here, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!!

For those of you who got your jeep name and put it on the hood. Where did you purchase it and do you have any recommendations/tips?

I FINALLY got to join the club!

First-timer here with some noob questions. I’ve wanted a Jeep since I was a child in the 70s and rode in one belonging to my uncle, and I got this 2016 JK last weekend—lifted, less than 57,000 miles, and I am IN LOVE with her! I got to take her to the beach on Friday and loved every minute—nobody could tell me shit, riding high off the ground after over a decade in a Civic!

The interior is nearly immaculate, and I’d like to keep it that way so please let me know if you have a reliable source for neoprene seat covers. I think I would like to buy a soft-top for her as well. Also, I’m only 5’1” and getting in and out on the Aries rocker steps has proven that I’m less than graceful, so I’m wondering if there is a way to attach a lower step to the rocker steps! And lastly, the aluminum grab bars inside really sizzle in this Gulf Coast heat—any suggestions for covers I could buy so I don’t burn my hands when I use it to haul my short self up and in?

Finally, I’m open to any tips and tricks you’ve picked up along the way, since I’m starting from scratch here! Thanks in advance!

Sport S - help me decide

Went to a dealer here in Miami & got the attached quote for 2-door Sport S hard top, final offer was $40K OTD. Includes $2500 worth of aftermarket accessories

How is the offer? Should I shop around more?

Major buyers remorse

I own a 24 4Xe Rubicon X. It has been to back to Jeep almost once a month for various things. Battery recall (still not fixed). Random engine light (computer update?), rattling doors/windows.

Two nights ago a flashing engine light popped on again. Now the engine is violently shaking when in idle. Jeep says do not drive it, so off to the tow truck again.

I’ll be exploring CA’s lemon law when I get back to town.

Beep Beep Green Jeep

This is my 4th Jeep, I had three TJ’s when I was in my 20’s and they were a blast. We live close to the mountains and I’m waiting on a winch a bumpers before heading into the back country.

I missed this so much.
