My experience owning one so far... Every ad, pamphlet, sales literature and even the sales pitch at the dealership revolve around it's off road capabilities. Yet doing things I did on a weekend basis with my 20 year old Wrangler TJ Sahara caused the yolk on the front inner axle to fail, taking out a ball joint and snapped an ear off of the now cheap aluminum steering knuckle. All on a brand new 2019 Wrangler JL Rubicon! First they tried to brush me off due to evidence of mud under the vehicle (for real?). The argument quickly escalated that I possibly hit something despite 0 damage on any other components. They wouldn't say I did hit something for sure, but since it was a possibility... they had an argument. It was also a possibility a part failed... just saying. When making it clear I couldn't be without a vehicle any longer and that I have to get it fixed, I asked if it needed anything else. They didn't know, as they didn't inspect it. They just saw it was broke and dirty and essentially just said nope unless I paid up. I was told they could see if anything aside from what they could see by looking behind the tire was broke, but I'd have to pay for a full inspection. At one point I was given the option to pay in "advance" to speed up the repairs and if the warranty kicked in, I'd be reimbursed. Ya, right... Being jerked around between the dealership and customer service, I took my jeep elsewhere to get fixed. Doing so apparently waived my right to complain anymore or receive compensation. But after 2 weeks of being without a vehicle... it had to be done. It turned into 3 weeks after everything was said and done. That's what 60k buys you! I've posted this a few times on Jeeps facebook page. Which are all deleted and I am blocked now from commenting. Guess your only allowed to tell people to go ahead and void your warranty work, it's fun!
Beautiful ride. They should make the LEDs standard on every trim and at least the 7 inch infotainment. Otherwise, pay attention to comments about loose steering in this review on highway. It is very true. Whether raised suspension or not. It doesn’t track straight, you need to do constant adjustments on highway. It doesn’t bother me, but it is a definite difference between this vehicle and other Jeeps or vehicles on the market. Closest to this characteristic is 4-Runner. But even big trucks track better. Make sure you take a Wrangle for a highway ride before buying.
Hi. What about regearing? Does it go with stock 3.45? Is it fine or regearing is a must? People do not agree on the forum. Some are explaining it is necessary, others are telling it is not necessary,. Could You please advise?
Would you lift your Wrangler/Gladiator?

OriginalTeddy hey which dealer was this? This sounds extremely bad for a dealer.

Great review! Do you know what the brand of the wheels are? Thanks!
Wheels are Fuel Tactic D360
Thanks for another great review. As a viewer from the US, it would be helpful if you also provided the fuel economy numbers in MPG.
I’ll be implementing those numbers for upcoming videos!

Beautiful 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
What is the total height of the truck with that lift kit and tire combination ?
I reached out to the dealer if they had an exact number. Will follow up when I hear back!
What is the width on the 35” tire?
These tires are BFG KO2 35x12.5’’. They’re on the fuel tactic D630
What is this color?
Best between graynite and sting grey?
This is Sting grey
