Platinum Member Chris Posted July 28, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted July 28, 2022 Due to family circumstances I've just traded my 2020 2 door JL Rubicon for a new 2022 Hydro blue 4 door JLU Rubicon, Loved my 2 door but the 4 door has really impressed me with its ride and handling. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Sounds very much like fun what with the grandkids visiting. But already proving very expensive...... And worth every penny.

My eagle eyes have spotted that your OEM front bumper had PDC but your new bumper doesn't. Did you disable them using a Tazer? I've been eyeing up alternative bumpers on eBay but was unsure how to handle the parking sensors. More details please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More details please No, I used Storm Jeeps unfortunately i don't really have the facilities for a big job like that, They did a great job on it, Yes you need a Tazer or similar to disable the front sensors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take your time and enjoy experiencing what your Rubicon can do out of the box, your Jeep will become a second skin. After modifications you will go through the same familiarisation adjustment again, but you will have a better sense of what abilities your Jeep has gained, what it has lost, and when this is really going to make a difference to how you drive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very true - mine is still stock (not because of money of course lol) - and I do get surprised with what the car can do (more that what I am usually willing to try lol) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
