oh nooo my knee....

@Eddie-Dune-Glider i have the exact same creaking noise from drivers side suspension since day 1 with the car. no amounts of grease, silicone lube, or suspension component changes have removed it. if you find a solution let me know pls

At the end of the day @Noufal nothing beats time in the seat for how far ur car will take you. both of these cars , and lots of others, will give you amazing fun in the desert and take you everywhere. Pick whichever U like best 😎 @ChrisW @Mike M. @JC_E @_Herman_ @Frederic @Giacomo

Extended the convoy to 10 cars for those on waitlist

as long as plastic / rubber in front should have no issues.

@Noufal I always switch to 'drive-mode = 'BAJA'' and just keep it in D always. update: once in baja mode you need to press and hold for at least 15 seconds the traction control button to fully disable all electronics related to traction AND stability control. You Do Not need a kill switch once engaged like this. ABS is disabled, and curtain airbags etc are disabled. the baja mode holds the gear you are in, and ensures that turbos are spooled up and ready to just GO as soon as you touch the pedal. just point the direction you want to go, and hit the accelerator.

if I was buying again,.. I would still go for ranger. 😎 @Frederic is right,.. parts much more available for the Jeep(esp aftermarket accessories), but this is changing as more rangers get on the road and al tayer/ford are supporting parts better. I only had a 1 day wait for parts the last time i broke something. The CV axle is certainly the weak point compared to the solid axle... but i treat my car pretty harshly and it has held up mostly well to the punishment. I do get jealous when I see @ChrisW removing the roof and doors when driving his jeep though....😁 @JC_Eits actually fake news that i get crested on EVERY single drive... there has been one or two i have made it through without getting stuck 😜 TLDR; GET A RANGER!

Looks lovely!

congrats on the promotion @Guido Ferriani

@Dan S

@Suneedh Wrangler Sounds like you are all set! As long as your equipment works and fits for your car, it's perfect! Glad you got it sorted out quickly mate... See you on the next drive! 👍👍

Good choice 😁Get a torque wrench from Amazon...and periodically keep your beadlocks torqued correctly! 😎

too busy! 🤪

Think you're gonna have to update your name to @WhiteRhinoEmanuel or something to stop these mix ups 😅 I've made the mistake a few times myself @Emanuel

First place or bust!!! 💪💪💪💪

I personally wouldn't go back to non beadlocks... You'll appreciate them later if you already have a set. If they're not rubbing and causing trouble keep em. If too hard to get passing, switch and get a correct fitting set of beadlocks later 🙏

i'd say better angle like you have drawn and try for a nice consistent speed to get up to the ridgeline,.. and just turn down early if you can feel you are not gonna make it, loop around, and try again. @DG707

@Soap @_Herman_ @khurramm important to have a good excited copilot!

@Soap def take the kids on a couple of NB and FB drives first to get them used to it.. and going for a camp afterwards mine have done quite a lot but still are absolutely exhuasted by the end of a 4hr drive and starting to get cranky 😅

no problems mate, plenty more coffee and tea drives planned before the weather gets too hot again. 💪
