    Great video! Nice Jeep! Mine is 2.5 years old and at 33k miles with some pretty heavy off-roading among those miles. It is holding up very well, too! The welds should be fine. I just hit mine with Rustoleum Rust Reformer/Sealer. I also hit my frame and vulnerable areas with Fluid Film every fall. I especially hit the inside of the frame.

      Hey Principal Skinr, Thanks for the feedback. It’s good to know that even with heavy off roading that it’s still holding up very well too. I was intending to start doing some off roading this summer but COVID has held me back in that regard but I hope to still get out this summer. Cheers.

    Great video. I was in the market for a new JLU Rubicon but I’m seeing corrosion around the hinges on one year old JL’s and that’s not acceptable. If you just refinish the area it will return in short order. In order to fix the issue you need to correct the cause and until that happens I’m keeping my Newfoundland money in my pocket or until I buy a new Bronco. Time will tell. Keep well.

    • @CheaperJeeperTV

      Hey Paul & Kathy, I agree with you about the corrosion issue possibly being a recurring issue until the root cause is addressed. As for the Bronco option, Ford may be having a similar issue, as per class action lawsuit mentioned in my Corrosion video. I did a separate video on the corrosion issue if you wanted to check it out. Cheers.

    I finally was able to take my JL off-roading last week, and had a blast. The 2.0 engine did amazing at delivering needed power/torque and the auto kept it in the best gear at all time. I did get stuck, so I got to test the tow hooks =) I hope to put the video up some day of it, but I havent put up a video in some time. Things have been crazy for me.

      Hey Kimberly, That's great. As long as you know what to be aware of when it comes to some issues. They really made significant improvements in the JL compared to the JK. In my opinion, I find that some electronic glitches, the windshield defrost issue, and the corrosion issue are items any potential new Jeep owner should be aware of before considering purchasing one. Cheers.

    • @CheaperJeeperTV
      @CheaperJeeperTV  3 роки тому

      Hey Jeff, There are many posts on forums where new owners are experiencing this. A steering dampener recall was issued initially, then a TSB for the steering box had been issued(which made for significant improvement in steering as mentioned by many in the forums). In my opinion, I find the steering on mine vague as well.

    In general it is advised for all automatic transmissions to do a double flush with specialized equipment every 80,000 km. this way the transmission of the last for 500,000 km or more. The service interval can be extended to 100,000 km for if you drive mostly highway, no off-road, and non-city majority driving.

      Thank you for the info.
      Do you know of any online source of service information pertaining to the 8 sp. auto in the JL? I know FCA says its good for "life?", but I'd love to read more from a reputable source about the double flush you mentioned.
      Thanks

    • @bm_videa
      @bm_videa 2 роки тому +1

      @@CheaperJeeperTV I don’t have materials in English language. However I have R and D experience from a major automotive corporation. Manufacturers claim that the oil in automatic transmissions is for life and thus is not in the maintenance plan - cost reasons. Yet they calculate the lifespan to 10 years and 250K km. If you do a change of oil then, the transmission is beyond saving.
      If you drive in the city and off road the oil change should be more frequent than with highway driving. The city is taxing - short trips, constant changes of speed, high revs on cold parts etc...
      Best regime is: first change after 120K km, then each 60K km. You can change transmission oil in two ways. Let the old one drip out, change the filter, fill in new and go. Gravitational dripping only removes oil in the transmission. But it will not remove old oil from the pipes, hydrodynamic parts and from the cooler.
      Changing oil professionally with a specialized tool will flush the system under pressure. Flushing uses about 3 times the oil needed for one change to clean everything properly. You can repeat it twice - thus the double flush - if you havent changed oil like this before. You will need 2 filters too. Costs less than a new transmission.
      With this maintenance and reasonable driving, you can drive 400k-500k km without fear.

    I had a 2008 Sahara and had the same issue with the painted door hinges. I would have thought that those pieces would have been better finished before they were painted at the factory. I now have a 2020 Rubicon Unlimited and the only thing that I had to do was polish the hood in two small places that had some minor scratching on it. The scratches came out perfectly with no other issues.

    I mean no disrespect, but I have the same Jeep with much less mileage and I am getting rid of it for two reasons that you highlight in your analysis but oddly downplay. 1) I had terrible death wobble for the first 14 months of ownership. Until you experience death wobble with 3 other people in the car under your responsibility (my children) you cannot relate to how bad and dangerous it is. Jeep denied this - while denying it my dealer told me he had 35 Jeeps on a list for the same problem. Then, a recall came out. Just because you did not experience DW, doesn't mean it should not bother you. Death wobble, addressed with he recall for steering dampers, is a real thing that ruined many Jeeper's experience. 2) Galvanic corrosion - you show it on your Jeep. This is an outrage, a new Jeep corroding due to two dissimilar metals in contact causing a reaction. When Jeep "fixes" it, it only addresses the hinges / doors that are showing corrosion. They are not removing all hinges on doors, hood, and tailgate. Worse, it is still happening in 21's and new Gladiators. The are simply addressing symptoms but not addressing the problem. How can you recommend a vehicle with a steering problem that poses significant safety issues, electrical problems and corroding paint? You seem like a VERY nice man but with all due respect, this is not a meaningful analysis. Unfortunately, it looks like a Jeep Fanboy dowplaying significant flaws or chalking it up to a "Jeep thing".

      Hey Kirk,
      I appreciate your taking the time to share your real owner's experience with your Jeep Wrangler JL, and I assure you there is no disrespect taken.
      My Real Owner Review is solely based on my own experience.
      1) Fortunately for me, I didn't experience any death wobble, but I wouldn't blame anyone for feeling a huge amount of disappointment if they had death wobble in their new Jeep. Are their links anywhere which share how this is a prevalent issue? It would make for a good follow up video.
      2) I couldn't agree with you more about the disappointment regarding corrosion in the new Wrangler JLs. In fact I made a follow-up video on the topic, where I share that this is completely unacceptable in new JLs, and I also provide links that demonstrate that it isn't an isolated issue. ua-cam.com/video/1Yh305GDy3Q/v-deo.html .
      I would be very interested in your feedback on the content of the video, especially my conclusion at 9:14.
      Also, I am curious, what vehicle do you plan to get after you sell your Jeep?
      Thanks again for contributing and sharing your own experience with your Jeep. Cheers.

      @@CheaperJeeperTV I just watched your video, you did a nice job of framing the corrosion issue. Also, you are getting to something that so many are missing and you are not, which is, resale value and the virtual assurance that the corrosion will continue. Thanks for a nice review on the issue, the number of folks experiencing corrosion is growing exponentially. As for my next vehicle, I considered the Land Rover Defender, Lexus GX 460, used LandCruiser's and finally, Toyota 4Runner. In the end, I choose 4Runner. With their recent upgrade of their tech to embrace Apple Car Play, LED lights, and the long-term reliability, I selected a 2021 Toyota 4Runner TRD off-Road Premium. Getting rid of the Jeep Wangler Saraha honestly, makes me sad. I love the Jeep, but distrust the company that made it. I wanted a Wrangler my whole life, I enjoyed driving it, but between my death wobble, electrical issues and now widespread corrosion, I have to sell it. Ironically, it feels like selling a boat, the second happiest day is the day you buy it, the happiest is the day you sell it, even if it leaves you feeling sad. Thanks for being a stand up man. You did ask about DW, there are class action lawsuits you can find on the internet - the issue was entirely validated with the steering recall. Thank you again for authentic dialogue.

Perhaps talk to an owner like me who did experience death wobble. It is real, and even after the recall is addressed, owners are reticent to have people in their Jeep (a form or PTSD). I have had to have the recall down twice, it's a real thing (caused by another situation of using aluminum where it does not match the tolerances of metal.
