Congrats on your new Jeep! Looks fantastic.
This past summer i purchased a 2023 Willys Wrangler 2 door. I had not owned one since my 02 TJ. I could not be happier with my Willys. Super happy i found your channel!!
Hey Sonny,
Thanks. I'm really loving it!
Wow! Now that's a significant upgrade.
Thank you for the supportive comments on the channel. Feel free to help it out and share any videos you find helpful or interesting with others.
Thanks again my friend.
Cheers.
Hi Dino, I've owned nothing but Jeeps since my 1997 TJ, and currently own a 2020 Gladiator Rubicon. I started watching some of your videos and really enjoyed them. Then you sold your Jeep... Glad to see you are back in the Jeep world! Looking forward to watching your channel once again!
Awesome! Thank you for the support as well. Cheers.
Mirrors my thoughts too, though I can only claim to go back to 1998! Welcome back to the Jeep world.
@@robertdeloatch8378 Hey Robert, Thank you for the welcome. See you next video.
Cheers
Welcome back my friend. Can't wait to see what you come up with
Thanks Kat, I have three months of video topics to do now!!..lol
I also bought a 2024 Rubicon Extreme package! The Jeep is amazing and I can feel the difference between this 2024 and my older 2021. Steering is better, infotainment/Bluetooth and interior quietness is noticeable! Congratulations!!!
Yes. I agree with your assessment as well.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers
Hey Dino, nice to see you are back on the JL, many more great videos for cheaper jeepers to come, I hope... 👍🏻😉👍🏻
Absolutely! Thanks for the support, feel free to share the news.
Hey Dino. After you got rid of your jeep I thought your channel was done. My buddy at work said you got another Jeep. Well my friend, you got me hooked again. I’m so happy your back with jeeps. Your fan Big John from Pittsburgh
Hey John!
Awesome. Glad you are back! I have a cool video coming out tomorrow so let me know what you think of it.
I am absolutely loving the new Rubicon X. The handling is so great, it surprises me. I actually love my new Rubicon X more than my previous JL.
The channel has kept growing but more support is more than appreciated, so feel free to share any videos you think are any good and spread the word.
Chat again.
Cheers.
I was watching your video with the Set Power frig. Definitely running it in the house the night before will help while traveling. What I like to do is plug it into my power outlet in the back of my JL so I can save my Jackery 500 till I get to my camping spot. Moving the frozen stuff over to the frig part late in the evening then turning the temp in the freezer to 34-37 degrees makes the compressor not work as hard. By lunch time the next day I normally throw the panels out to charge up the Jackery. I know you probably already know this. Sorry I’m rambling. So much to share with you. Maybe another day. I picked up a Renogy panel kit and a 100 ah lipo battery. Also a ecoflow delta mini. I have this obsession about power. Oh I just got my jeep back from the dealer that fixed my corrosion. $15000 worth of work. Good night Dino. So glad to follow again.
Glad you did the right thing. Once you buy a jeep it’s in your blood. My first was a new AMC Jeep CJ7 Renegade back in 1986 when I was 20 years old. Today I drive a Wrangler JL Unlimited Sport S.
Yep. I now know what you mean. Cheers.
Congrats on the new Jeep! New subscriber here. I had a 2020 Wrangler Sport and then a few months back, I traded it in for a 2024 Wrangler Sport. Night and day difference with the steering and overall ride quality. Jeep did a great job with the 2024's.
Hey Jeff, thanks for the sub. I agree with your assessment on the 2024 steering improvements.
Cheers
I'm looking forward to watching your videos again ! Congrats on your new Jeep !!!
Hey Eric, Thanks for the support. See you at next weeks video. Cheers.
Welcome back! I really enjoy your earlier videos, I've done many of your mods - rear shelf, side pillar phone holder, etc. Looking forward to more of your Jeep vids! And what a beautiful looking Jeep, really nice, congrats!
Hey Dave,
Thank you for the feedback on the videos. I have some modifications to the interior setup for camping that I’m sure you’ll be interested in. I’m just waiting for the weather to warm up a bit so I can do the work. Keep me posted on what you think of the upcoming changes.
Cheers
Welcome back to the Jeep family buddy
Hey Johnny, Thanks. I'm pretty excited about my new Jeep. It right a ton better than my other one! See you on the trails my friend! Cheers.
Hey way to go, man! That is one gorgeous Wrangler! Looking forward to more Jeep related vids.
Hey Randy, Thanks for the support, as always. Cheers.
So glad you’re back. 🎉 Hope you make lots of videos with your new Jeep. Especially curious to see what you improve on the camping sleeping platform! Hope to see videos about that soon.
Hey Ryan, Thanks. Yes, I've really though it out quite a bit and can't wait to get to the videos. Please feel free to share the news to others you know who may be interested. Cheers.
Congrats Dino looking forward to up-and-coming videos 🎉
Hey Rob, Thank you. I appreciate the support! Cheers
Glad to see you back in the "Jeep world". That' color is probably one of my favorites of the latest offerings. Thanks for sharing your decision making progress. Looking forward to what you'll do to set this one up.
Thanks. I’m keen to get started on it as well. Cheers.
So happy for you! Excited to have your Jeep specific expertise back !
Thank you for the support.
Much appreciated.
See you at next week's video.
Cheers.
I'm glad to see you back in to the jeep family. 👍
Hey man,
Thank you for saying that. I appreciate the support.
I hope you enjoy the new videos.
Thanks again my friend.
Cheers.
Awesome Jeep! Welcome back and looking forward to more of your Jeep videos.
Hey John, Thanks for the words of support. I'm looking forward to the new Jeep content also. Cheers.
Welcome back! You helped me choose my first winch and bumper I installed on my Jeep
Thank you for the welcome back.
Awesome!!!! I'm glad that you found some of the videos helpful.
Cheers.
Welcome back! I haven't really looked at your channel much since you sold your 2018 Wrangler. I just happened to click on my subscribed to list and saw you and found you are back in the Jeep fold. I look forward to watching your "cheaper" modifications again.
Thank you. I hope you enjoy some of the new Jeep videos. Cheers.
You are truly blessed and living the dream! I really like the new Jeep in that color combo and the tasteful options. Enjoy and look forword to vids of future adventures!
I'd have to agree.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Cheers.
Great content Dino. Welcome back to the club
Thank you for the welcome. It’s good to be back in the club. Cheers.
Good to see you back Dino!
Hey BunnyTJ,
Thank you. I appreciate the support.
Cheers
Welcome Back
Thank you Navigator and Wheelman! Cheers
Great to see you back! Greetings from the Netherlands. Love the video’s
Hey Guido, Thanks for the support. Cheers.
Congrats on the new ride!
Thanks for the support. Much appreciated. Cheers.
Congratulations Dino!! No explanation required, once a Jeep'r always a Jeep'r! And of course awesome in Sarge Green 🙂
Hey Len, imitation is the fondest form of flattery. Thanks for the support.Cheers.
Great video Dino and Congrats on your new purchase.
Hey Melissa,
Thank you so much for the well wishes. It is much appreciated!
Cheers
Your Jeep is awesome! Welcome back!
Thank you for saying so. I appreciate it. Cheers.
Honestly glad you're back top tier jeep content on the platform
Wow!
I'm glad that you feel that way!!
Please feel free to share!😆
Seriously, thank you for the feedback, it is very much appreciated.
Cheers!
Welcome back, obviously we've been waiting for your return. Still loving my JL Hellayella 2Dr. I only see one tiny corrosion bubble next to a door hinge, gulp.
Jeeps have a cult following my friend. Your new one looks great!
Thanks for waiting! lol.
Cheers.
Oh, welcome back Dino! Missed you in a Jeep. I love my '18 JLUR, even when it wanders a bit. I drove older Jeeps when I was young, many years ago, so a "wandering" Jeep doesn't bother me much. You're SO crafty, I loved the beds you built into these Jeeps and other great ideas for camping. I am fortunate to live in about a perfect place on earth to NOT worry about corrosion--the American southwest. I hope you have no problems that way. I look forward to more of your Jeep videos! Welcome home!
Thank you for the supportive words. I appreciate it, and I'm excited to post some new Jeep content. Cheers.
👍🤠
@@xtbro78 Thanks!
Glad to see you're back in a wrangler. Hope to see more videos.
Hey Corey, Thanks. I'm pretty happy about it too. More videos are definitely coming....Thanks again.
Cheers.
Congrats on the new Jeep Dino!
Hey Nick,
Thank you. I’m really loving this Rubicon!
Thanks for watching.
Cheers
Dino! Your videos have made my jeep journey so much easier! The tips and tricks are great. Keep the great videos coming.
From the 613,
Eric
Hey Eric from the 613,
I appreciate the feedback on the videos. I'm glad you have found them helpful.
Thank you.
Feel free to share.
Welcome back. I missed your CheeperJeeper video's over the past year or so. I bought a new 2022 Rubicon a while ago and will be interested in your experiences with a new Rubicon. Keep up the good work. PS...I did replaced the stock steering damper with a FOX unit. It drives great on the highway.
Hey HikerAL, Glad to hear about your Rubicon's damper improvement. Thanks for the welcome back. I'm also looking forward to making some videos of my new Rubicon experiences. Cheers.
Hi Dino and welcome back!!!!! Look forward to more Jeep videos 👍🏼
Thank you. I appreciate the support. Cheers.
Welcome back. Great to hear you purchase another JEEP.
Thank you for the support. Much appreciated. Cheers.
I’m so glad to see you back with a Wrangler! Looking forward for more jeep videos from you. May be next time, get a Rubi 4xe, that’s what I’ve 😂
Great suggestion for the daily driving, except for the long type of journeys I plan to take. Thanks for the support. Feel free to share the news.
Cheers
Awesome to have you back as a Jeeper!
Thanks! I’m pretty excited for future trips.
Cheers
Congratulations Dino, nice rig..
Thanks Jeff, It's so amazing! Way better than my 2018 JL Sahara in a number of ways. Cheers.
Your JLU Rubicon X looks amazing! I just found your channel. I really enjoyed it. I subscribed. Looking forward to future videos.
Thanks. I love the Rubicon X. The way it handles is so much better than when I used to have. I’m really happy with it. Thanks for subscribing. See you in next weeks video. Cheers.
Yay!! looks close to my 2023 JLUR Sarge.... Great choice Dino!
Sooooo excited you are back in a wrangler and rubicon at that :)
Hey Paul, Thanks! I appreciate the support, feel free to share the news. Cheers.
Hi Dino, I have missed your content and I am delighted to see you back in a Jeep. I had a 2020 Sting Gray Sahara until last month and I had a lot of references from your content in the journey of building my previous jeep. Last month I traded in my beloved wolf for a new pup - 2024 4xe Rubicon and coincidentally I see this video popup on my recommended list ! Looking forward to your content as much as I look forward to building out my new jeep. Cheers !
Awesome! Feel free to share any ideas. I’ll be over checking out your channel too! Cheers.
Looking forward to all your new Jeep videos.
Thank you. Me too. Cheers.
Thank you very much.
Cheers.
Hi, glad to see you back in a jlu. I enjoy your channel. I also have built the sleeping/storage platform from your plans. Thank-you.
Hey William, That's awesome! I'm looking forward to sharing my new ideas in that regard soon. Thanks for the support. Cheers.
Good to see you back in a Jeep!
Thanks! I appreciate the support! Cheers.
Hello...Love your Jeep and all videos. I purchased also a 2024 Rubi X in Anvil Gray. Your ride is beautiful and the color is wicked. Thanks for all the info Jeep related Dino, Happy Trails............Nasir from Atlanta,GA.
Hello Nasir,
Thank you so much for the feedback. I very much appreciate it.
Cheers my friend.
Hey Dino! Glad to see you are back on the Dark Side again.
I have been considering swapping out my 2018 Sahara JLU for a Gladiator after I weighed my rig this summer. With the rack, RTT, 270 awning, fridge and slide, some random gear and 2 occupants- there was only room for 50 more pounds before maxing out the GWVR. I still have stock bumpers, tires and no winch! The Gladiator has a higher GVWR. Sure, I tow a small off-road trailer with the Sahara but, I would be able to fit it *ALL* in the back of the truck. Looking forward to see what you are bringing to the channel in the future
Hey Marcel,
Thank you for the welcome back.
I know a number of people with the Gladiator, and love it. I'm sure you will too. Be careful though, the more room you will have, the more you may end up packing as well...lol
Cheers.
Nice JEEP Dino, welcome back, can’t imagine getting rid of either of my jeeps, my 04 2 dr Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is my baby. Got over 220,000 miles, wanna have till I’m gone, can’t explain why, just how I feel bout it. Keep the videos coming Dino. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Thank you. I'm loving this one. I'm thinking this may be the one I hold onto. We shall see, Thanks for the support.
Cheers.
That's a very fine looking machine! Hope it treats you well 👍
Thank you very much. So far so amazing!!! 🤩
Nice video & Sweet looking rig! Look forward to the future vids including the corrosion info update. I have a 22 gladiator, no issues yet but interested how others are making out with warranty claims.
Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, I will definitely follow up on the corrosion issue with some more information.
Cheers.
yesss dino hope to see you out again
Thank you! Cheers.
Welcome back. Jeepin is in your blood.
Yep. Apparently so! Thanks for the welcome back. Cheers.
Hey Dino, good to see you back in a Jeep, I could tell through some of your other videos that you had a longing for the Jeep still. Stuck with you and I'm looking forward to more videos, I'm still in the JKU but maybe one day I'll move up... when the price isn't so crazy ... just nuts?? LOL
Hey Bruce, thanks for the support. I hear you about those prices. Cheers.
Beautiful Jeep! Hope you love it and enjoy!!!
Thank you...so far so good. I have some interesting videos lined up as a result! Cheers.
Good to hear Dino. I look forward to copying your ideas on this Jeep too.
Hey Dave, Thanks for the support. I appreciate it. Feel free to share the news. Cheers
Nice you got back, I guess the only problem is price, it inflated about C$ 5k on MSRP. I am not sure how much actual price it will end up with, I got quite deep discount in 2019 before covid, and from what I see, jeep is very reluctant to give any discount.
Hey Dave, yeah, Its the "price for awesomeness", as a friend once said! I did ok on the discount, but still...crazy expensive...I hope it holds up well. Cheers.
Glad your back in a Jeep!! Can't have a Jeep Channel without a Jeep 🏞
Thanks! Cheers.
Good to hear!
Thank you. Cheers.
Welcome back Dino!
Thank you! I see you have some Cape Breton videos also! I just subscribed. I'll have to check out your videos shortly! Cheers.
We went to the campground at meat Cove this summer, but we just watched your Cape Breton video again and saw that you went past the campground somehow to the other area and we need to find out how you did it. Lol.
@@AWranglersTale I think I gave the contact information f the local club in the description section of that video. They even put out a couple videos of the same trip. They are great people, I still keep in touch with them. Cheers.
Just when you thought you were out…they pulled you back in. ✌🏻
LOL..I was totally going to use that line in the video, but wasn't sure. Thanks for your understanding...lol. Cheers.
Great to have you "back"
Are you heading to Bantam Jeep Festival in June?
Thanks. It’s great to be in a Jeep again. The 2024 Rubicon X handles beautifully!!
We are moving to another house on the weekend of the Bantam Jeep Festival. I plan to do a series of videos on my Jeep garage upgrade as a result.
That festival definitely seems like a huge event!! I trust you are going?
@@CheaperJeeperTV I'm hoping to make it this year, perhaps do some camping instead of hotel, I didn't watch your videos for a while, but came back to watch your platform build, then saw you were back.
absolutely fantastic car is wrangler. thnxs 4 vid,
Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers.
Welcome back...
Hello Luis,
Thank you.
Cheers.
Welcome back
Hey Glen,
Thanks.
Cheers
Congrats what a beauty
Thanks! It's pretty nice. It tracks very straight. Better than my last ne, so I'm happy about that. Cheers.
Another good video. Need to research more on the corrosion issue. Definitely might steer me more towards a JK.
Thank you for the feedback on the video. I agree that I need to look into the corrosion, I’ll be doing a follow up video just on that. Cheers.
@@CheaperJeeperTV Oh.. I meant I need to look for into the corrosion. But the more info you can provide the better. Really interested if this issue primarily plagues jeeps that live in the snowy/rainy climates, that maybe don't garage their jeeps. Of if this issue is not releated to that. I live in the desert, so very little rain.
Nice rig!
I purchased a 2023 Rubicon Farout edition. That’s the 3.0 Diesel with almost all the bells a whistles. I’m in love with my Jeep and I love the Diesel engine . I couldn’t be happier.
I'm equally happy with mine. I'm very happy with it's improved handling over my last JL. Cheers.
I can't wait to see the upcoming content now that you are back in a Jeep
Awesome. I can’t wait to post them. Thanks for the support. Cheers
hi dino. I'm happy you have a new Jeep. it's really gorgeous!! a greeting
Heyyy!! Nice to hear from you! Thank you for the well wishes.
"Mi manca il Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise. Ciao amico mio"
Super excited to see you back in a Jeep Wrangler. I hope to be in my 24 Rubicon X in a few weeks.
Nice! Mine is just stock. I didn’t option for the freedom top or warn winch. What colour did you end up choosing? You’ll absolutely love how great it drives. I still can’t get over how much better it is compared to my 2018 JL.
@@CheaperJeeperTV I chose Anvil color and only optioned the 4:88 gears. Patiently waiting for almost 5 months now.
Very nice. I just got mine that was on the lot.
Keep me posted on how everything goes. I’ll be doing a video soon on accessories for my Jeep soon. Have you thought of any you’re going to do?
@@CheaperJeeperTV yes few small things, Rock Stopperz clear rock guard for door hinges, winch plate, infotainment screen protector.
Once you go JL, you cant go back. Nice ride! Really love that new front grill and dash.
Hey Kevin, Thanks for the support. Did you know that you can order aftermarket of the same gril for pre 2024 JLs?
@@CheaperJeeperTV really? I did not know that!
@@soundcube9567 Here you go! if you contact them, ask them to reach out to me if they want me to feature any of their products! www.distinctionapplied.com/2024-grille
I bought a 2024 4xe Willy’s it’s truly amazing and fun and it’s my 6th Jeep for a reason
Nice! Cheers
Good to see you made it back from your “walkabout”😊 Can’t wait to see what colour Rubicon X you get for your wife;)
Nooooo!!!!! lol
We did all of the steering wander fixes and still had an “active driving experience”. We upgraded to a swayloc swaybar and the stiffer torsion spring prevents the body roll more than stock which stops the angular shifts between the drag link and trackbar that cause the vehicle to self steer. It’s also the reason that wind affects the vehicle so much.
Wow that’s fantastic information. Thank you.
Absolutely. I have more physics knowledge of it than mechanics. Accelerating lifts the front of the jeep and causes it to steer slightly one way, braking drops it and steers slightly the other. So there’s some slight misalignment in mine at least that may be cured by adding an adjustable track bar to account for as much of the difference in that angle as possible to minimize the effect. Wind pushes one side or the other up as well which would lead to the same effect. Turning also creates a bit of body roll which can be felt by the vehicle seeming to want to turn more than the input at the steering wheel. All three cases indicate the same parts of the suspension geometry causing the same result. Reducing the body roll has been a game changer for our vehicle.
OK, I'll re-subscribe. lol, if your not going to do Jeep stuff , I'm out of here. Nice to see you come to your senses. You picked a beauty. Welcome back. :)
Thank you for the welcome back. Thanks for re-subscribing. See you in next weeks video! Cheers.
It's beautiful! Love Sarge Green and yay for a Rubicon! I love my 2015 JKU Sport, but I am building it into a Rubicon. It would have been "cheaper" (pun intended) to buy a Rubicon from the beginning.
Hey Julia, Thanks for sharing your thoughts!! I’ll have to check out your Channel. Nice Jeep! Cheers
I’m glad you got a Jeep back! That was the reason I watched you in the first place.
Does the 2024 Rubicon X come with K02 or KO3 tires?
Thanks for the support. It has KO2s. It drives unbelievable stright and tight given the lift and 35" tires. There are so many great things from gears to axles, that I plan to summarize in a later video.
@@CheaperJeeperTV Thanks! I ordered mine about three weeks ago. 2024 Rubicon X fully loaded. I can’t wait! They haven’t even started manufacturing it yet. I’m glad the strike is over so hopefully something moves soon.
@@alfa8822 Good stuff! We can learn about the Xs at the same time!!! It drives great!
@@CheaperJeeperTV I thought the Rubicon X was the extreme. The extreme package is what I ordered but I thought it was still a Rubicon X. I didn’t know there was an XR.
Great to see you back in a Jeep!
And in a new Rubicon no doubt. Sweet!
Mopar or No-Car. 😬
Hey Ken,
Thanks. Yeah I’m loving this Rubicon. It handles better than expected.
Cheers
Love it.
Awesome. Thanks.
i'm new to your channel, but i'm interested to see how you camp in this vehicle!
Hey Frank, I've had experience setting up my 2018 for camping, and have new plans for this Jeep, based on what I've learned from the initial one, which worked well too. Thanks for the support. Cheers.
Ok! Will we see you at at Overland North next year?
Hey Dan, I hope to be there for sure with a new camper setup. Cheers
Hey love your new jeep happy for you :) hope it brings you on lots more adventures. Not sure how the value of my mug will be now haha but I still have it 😂
LOL..Hey Brendon, It is still valuable, in that there was a limited run on them. I use mine every day, and I didn't realize how good the quality is on it. Maybe I'll make some more for prizes. Thanks for the support my friend! Cheers.
Hey just wanted to reach out. I bought a 2024 Jeep Rubicon 4-door and put Katskinz deluxe kit on myself. I would say nearly 2x as much padding, probably in the 1.75x range. That being said, I believe your Rubicon X comes with the 12-way adjustable seats which are fantastic. I would've gone with the X if I could've afforded it. Love your jeep, man!
Hey Joe,
Thanks. Yeah the X is pretty loaded. Good information on the Katskinz. Their rep on the phone hadn’t shared anything like that.
Cheers
hey, no worries! Yeah I called and they wouldn't give me anything either. They basically just kept saying to talk to an installer to order and that was it. but man that X is sick, especially with the XR package. I am currently building mine to the XR specs @@CheaperJeeperTV
@@Joes432 Cool! Enjoy! The 24 handles so well, it was a pleasant surprise for me. The X package chamged it a bit compared to the stock tires, but still good. Thanks for watching. Cheers.
I’m glad to see you came back to your senses 😂 now you need to get a gladiator also.
I agree, thank you for saying, I am sensible now, at least somebody thinks so. Now I need to get a Gladiator. Cheers.
Hey Dino. Are the new seating on 2024 JLs really more comfortable than older JLs? I have a 2020 JLU and after commuting 100km daily I am starting to have sciatic nerve pain, and am really hoping the new seating on the 2024 JLs are an improve so I don’t have to sell it and stir away for another brand and from Wranglers. Thanks!
Welcome back to the Jeep family!
Thanks for the welcome back. All I can say for sure, is that the leather seats and the way they are padded are more comfortable than the cloth seats and how they are padded in the Rubicon, as in this last purchase I was comparing the two. In my 2018 JL Sahara I bought it with the leather seats and was happy with that, but I’m not certain that there’s a change in the leather seats since then till now.
I hope that helps.
Cheers
Nice Jeep I love it. I’ve got a 2021 Sahara Unlimited I’ve put 33” Falken Wildpeak AT tires on it no lift and I gotta say I’m actually surprised how nice it drives no wandering at all the steering is tight it drove great with the stock tires too. I’m wondering if mines a unicorn or maybe by 2021 they fixed the steering issues.
Hey Fred, I believe by 2021 they corrected the steering box issue. I’m glad yours is steering well. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers.
Oh ok.. thanks for the response that makes sense.
I knew you'd come back from the darkside. The price of these new jeeps, especially the Rubicon's, is crazy, even more so here in the north. We hoser's really do get hose'd.
True. I really love it so far though. It drives fantastic!...Thanks for the support. Feel free to share the news. Cheers.
Hello my friend congratulation for your new jeep wrangler, I found a solution for the hinge corrosion
Thank you. Ok. I’ll bite. What’s the solution?
Welcome back to owning a jeep Dino.🥂
Thank you for the welcome back. Much appreciated. Cheers.
i own a 2021 Rubicon 4xe and so far so good with 24,000 miles it's been such a joy compared to my last Toyota Tacoma's with vibration and balancing issues unresolved 2012 traded in for -2014 bought back though lemon Law
No wondering issues and no signs of corrosion yet and hopefully never , but then again I'm in California !!!
Awesome! I’m loving mine so far too.
Cheers
I Live in Northern Minnesota (Rust Belt) my Jeeps actually have no issues, I have my Jeeps Undercoated at the Dealers, and then I just stay on top of it by Rust Proofing every other year....
Nice. Unfortunately for too many, corrosion on aluminum body panels on JLs is an issue. I hope your efforts pan out in the long term. Cheers.
Super nice Jeep! I just put in an order for one. How long did yours take or did you buy off the lot (which has been rare)?
Thank you. Yes I saw this one at the dealership, I went and test drove it, it felt amazing the way it tracked and drove so well, so I bought it off the lot.
I’m glad I didn’t have to order it, because with the strike and all it may take a while.
Cheers.
Put my order in on July 29th 2023 and still waiting 😮
Keep an eye out for bubbling paint .....I dumped my 21 jlr for this reason and snagged a 23 Tacoma trd off road!
Oh yeah, I made a couple videos about it.
I just dumped my 2022 TRD Off-Road and got a 2024 Rubicon Extreme! LOL
Haha toyota are lame
Aloha. The only cumbersome item is the auxiliary battery to replace. Finding an outstanding auxiliary battery is expensive and cumbersome to change.
Yes, some people simply delete it. I’m not sure what I’ll do come the time.
Cheers
Hey Dino, is the interior stitching all red on the Rubicon X? I have noticed that the interior stitching is inconsistent and different colors in the 2024 Rubicon 392.
Hey Adam, my Rubicon X has red stitching throughout.
Good News...so now we can go back to our Regular Programming -- CheaperJeeper (not CheaperHonda).
As for the "wandering steering" I never had that issue. Still don't. Can't tell it from my previous vehicle (a 2016 Honda Pilot EX-L/AWD). And I also can't tell any difference from the Honda when it comes to long road-trips, as I've done 3 so far (TX/NM/CO). Keeping it factory/OEM stock though: No larger tires and no lift -- don't need it.

Thanks for the support...feel free to share the news. Cheers.
I would like to add a comment on the steering wandering issue. I got a 2021 gladiator sport S it’s been lifted and I have 37 inch tires on it. I have never had a handling problem at all. I’ve got almost 30,000 miles on mine. I don’t drive it around town it’s just for trips. The only steering problem I am experiencing is with the lift and the 37 inch tires. I need to upgrade the steering system because when doing things off road the stock steering is just woefully inadequate. Than that the silly thing has given me no problems I enjoy driving it. It’s more comfortable to drive than my civic, it doesn’t get nearly as good as gas mileage at the civic but it’s also twice as big I was going to pick one more. It would be the gladiator anyway my worthless contribution everybody have a good day.
Hey Tim, thanks for sharing. Cheers.
I just wish the pause time was longer. The stop start gets annoying real fast in Washington traffic.
I just released a video on that, literally. Cheers.
